Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Meet Bruce! Bruce is a 3 year old Shihtzu that is needing a great new owner. He is very friendly and loves cuddles. His calm demeanor makes him a great pal for other dogs, cats and kids. Bruce has been neutered, is now up to date on his rabies and distemper vaccines, dewormed, negative for heartworm disease and microchipped! You may notice some redness in Bruce's eyes. That is because he has a condition called "keratoconjuntivitis sicca" which is just a fancy term for dry eye. He will need his eyes lubricated several times a day for the rest of his life. This does NOT require a prescription. Using an over the counter eye lubricant such as artificial tears is sufficient! If you think you can give Bruce a home, please fill out the application at the below link. forms.gle/vgq3ygE8s7Lv6gsV9

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.
