Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed. Please contact ADOPTION (adoptdoggieharmony) for more information about this pet. Oscar needs a quiet adult home. Not a lot of commotion and no very young children. He does guard his food and toys and kids don't understand that. He’s not keen on being picked up by people he doesn’t know. Once you have earned his trust he’s your best bud! His owner lost her apartment and had to surrender him. He takes a few minutes to warm up after that very affectionate with his people. He would be great for someone retired, who wants a companion. Age: 5 years Weight: 18 lbs Temperament: Gets along with other dogs, adults, no small kids Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, has basic training Vetting: neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative Email for questions: To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself. Please expect an adoption fee of $300; some of our urgent or long-term dogs have discounted fees.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih-Poo is a charming designer breed, a delightful cross between the gentle Shih Tzu and the intelligent Miniature Poodle, typically originating from breeders seeking to combine the best traits of both. These small companion dogs usually boast a soft, wavy to curly coat that is often low-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. Physically, they exhibit a compact build, expressive eyes, and come in a variety of colors. In terms of temperament, Shih-Poos are generally affectionate, playful, and highly adaptable, making them excellent family pets and well-suited for apartment living due to their moderate exercise needs. They thrive on human companionship and can be quite trainable with positive reinforcement. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental problems, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
