Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Cosmo and Casper are a wonderful, bonded pair of Shih Tzu boys. They are relishing in the joy of being loved, cared for properly, and having fresh air and a yard to play in, for the first time, after coming from a tragic home situation. It’s possible that Cosmo is Casper’s father, although we can’t be certain, and they certainly share a special, loving bond. Both boys are very sweet and friendly, adore every minute of attention they receive, and get along with other dogs. Casper (all white), is about 1-2 years old and 11 pounds. He has all the joy, playfulness, and energy of a happy, affectionate, young boy. He couldn’t be any cuter. Cosmo (white and tan), is about 6-8 years old and 20 pounds. He arrived overweight, but should trim down to about 17 pounds with proper diet and exercise. He is a sweet, beautiful boy with an easy going demeanor, and an adorable silly side as well. He has an endearing face that warms the heart. Cosmo and Casper complement each other and get along beautifully. They will surely bring lots of joy and love to a new family. If you believe you are a great match for Cosmo and Casper, please put in an application today. Casper has been evaluated by our Ophthalmologist. The right eye is blind from an old injury. The left eye is normal with good vision. No medications needed. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see just how adorable they truly are.

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.
