binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at .rescuecrew. Fancy is an approximately 3 year old Shih Tzu mix who came to us as a stray through a local impound. Fancy shines being around her people and being included in what ever you're doing. Be it active or hanging out on the sofa. She does well with all genders. She's even happier if there is another dog that would like to wrestle with her from time to time. Fancy could thrive in a variety of settings from a single family home, to a home with shared walls (townhome or apartment), to a mobile home! Her barking is appropriate and she redirects well. She is mostly potty trained to both the outdoors and also potty pads. As her foster has multiple dogs it's hard to give a solid yes. When humans are home, she goes out every two hours. Accidents should be expected when she first goes home, while she learns her new routine with you. As a Shih Tzu mix (flatter face), she can over heat or become breathless easier than other dogs. While she doesn't like it, she will take a time out with you to return to her fantastic baseline. Please be aware that in the heat of summer she may need air conditioning to keep her in good health. Also as a Shih Tzu mix she will need regular grooming so please include that cost into your budget. The last thing Fancy needs to work on is her recall. Fancy lives in the moment and if the moment happens that you don't have a firm grip on the leash, off she goes and it can take multiple people to corral her back. She just didn't have the training as a younger pup and this may be a clue as to how she ended up stray. She is more than worth putting the training time in. All who meet her, love her! So whether you are looking for a brunch, book club, adventure buddy or a buddy for your pack, Ms Fancy may be for you. Let's meet!
