Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Cassie and Cindy share that special mother/daughter bond, which is truly beautiful to see. They came from very tragic circumstances, but have always had each other, and are now thriving at the rescue. Cassie (tan and white) is the mom, and about 3 years old. She is not much older than her daughter Cindy (grey and white), who is about 2 years old. They are gorgeous, little Shih Tzu girls, both about 12 pounds. Cindy’s left eye is nonvisual and bluish in color, possibly from prior trauma. Her right eye is normal and has good vision. Otherwise, there are no issues with either girl. Cassie and Cindy are lively, energetic, playful young girls, loving their playtime with our staff and volunteers. They are happy, super sweet and friendly, and enjoy cuddling and affection. Cassie and Cindy like to play fetch, and absolutely love toys, but never fight over them. It’s impossible not to smile when with them and share in their exuberance over their chance at a new, happy life. If these amazing, little beauties are tugging at your heart, and you believe you are a great match for them, please put in an application today.

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.
