When I think of getting Out and About, my ideas usually center on St. Joe County, Portage, Kalamazoo, and parts of northern Indiana.

Hi. I’m a very patriotic little male shih tzu, about 2-3 years old. I am grayish-white and have just been groomed. I like people but need to be in a quiet home without children.
