Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Connor is a cuddly, gentle, little Shih Tzu boy. He is about 2 years old and 11 pounds. Connor came from a home undergoing tragic circumstances.

Connor is healing beautifully and no longer suffering. Each day he becomes brighter and more playful, as his true personality emerges. Connor is truly a little sweetheart, who is very friendly and just a joy to be with. He loves all the affection and attention he receives. Connor enjoys cuddling in a lap, lots of petting and belly rubs, and playing silly hand games. He is super cute, with a gentle way about him that is very endearing. Connor is a happy, little boy, full of love to share with a new family. If you believe you are a great match for Connor, please put in an application today. Please watch the video, at the end of the photos, to see Connor’s fun, silly, happy personality emerge, as he heals from his surgery. He is truly a treasure! Connor is all healed and doing fantastically. He is happy, bright, playful, and the sweetest little guy, as cute and cuddly as they come.

Overview:
The Shih Tzu, affectionately known as the "lion dog," boasts an ancient and regal lineage, originating from the Tibetan plateau and further refined in imperial China. These charming canines are easily recognized by their striking appearance: a small, sturdy build, a distinctive undershot jaw, and a long, flowing double coat that often requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Temperamentally, Shih Tzus are renowned for being affectionate, outgoing, and playful companions, making them wonderfully suitable for a variety of households. Their adaptable and generally good-natured disposition means they often thrive in families with children and are particularly well-suited for apartment living due to their modest exercise requirements. While generally robust, potential owners should be aware of common breed-specific health concerns, including respiratory issues (due to their brachycephalic, or "smushed" face), eye conditions, and luxating patella. Despite these considerations, a Shih Tzu typically brings immense joy and companionship to their devoted owners.
