Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Watching Caylee evolve over the past 6 months has been both fantastic and heartwarming. She came from a tragic home, where she never received human love or anything close to proper care. Caylee was shy and afraid when she first arrived. But, with each passing day of experiencing consistent love, attention, and care, she has blossomed into a happy, bright and playful little girl. Caylee is still shy with new people at first, but becoming more trusting every day. Caylee is an adorable Shih Tzu, about 3 1/2 years old and 11-12 pounds. With a little extra patience and compassion, you could welcome her into your home and give her the wonderful life she never knew. Caylee gets along with other dogs, and sometimes plays with them. She enjoys petting, belly rubs and leash walks. We urge you to watch the video, at the end of the photos, to experience Caylee’s transformation. If you believe you are a great match for Caylee, 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.
