Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Chihuahua / Mixed (long coat). General, whose foster mom calls him Zip, and his housemate Bobo, were signed over to the shelter several months ago. They have done remarkably well adjusting to life in a foster home, and in fact, we think they are looking better than ever due to the extraordinary care and medical intervention they are receiving. Control of parasites and nutritious food has made a huge difference in their appearance as well as in their attitudes. they were not well house trained when they first arrived, but are loving the chance to go out and play in the yard, and use grass for their potty time. We are talking about both of them here because it seems general is the support for his housemate Bobo in all things in life. He adores her, watches over her, and if she is stressed during times of loud noises or thunderstorms, he is there to comfort her. It is really adorable to witness, and because of that, we are really hoping they can be adopted together.If you are looking for sweet love, perhaps General Zip and Bobo would be perfect for you!

Breed overview
Overview:
The delightful ShiChi, a charming crossbreed between the spirited Chihuahua and the affectionate Shih Tzu, originated from the desire to blend the best qualities of both parent breeds. These small companions typically inherit a varied appearance, often featuring a soft, medium-length coat that can be a range of colors, with their size generally falling between 6 to 12 pounds. Temperamentally, ShiChis are known for being playful, affectionate, and generally good-natured, making them suitable for many living situations. They adapt well to apartment living due to their compact size and moderate exercise needs, and with proper socialization, can be wonderful additions to families with older children. While generally robust, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental issues, inherited from their parent breeds, making regular veterinary check-ups essential for a long, happy life.
