Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. If you would like to take me home please complete a Pet Adoption Application Male, Shih Tzu Patchy the Pirate is a young Shih Tzu who came to us from a large hoarding situation where more than 50 dogs lived together. Because of this, he hasn’t had much one-on-one attention and is still learning that people can be safe and loving. He will do best in a quiet, patient home with a secure X-pen or fenced area, since he doesn’t yet know how to walk on a leash. He’s good with other dogs, but when it comes to children, he may need time to feel comfortable. Patchy the Pirate will need patience, love, and consistency as he learns to trust. Please note: he is not housebroken yet, so his future family should be prepared to help him with training and cheer him on as he makes progress. If you’re looking for a sweet pup who just needs time and understanding to shine, Patchy the Pirate could be your new best friend.

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.
