Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Gomez Addams is a 13 lb., 1.5- to 2-year-old, male, Shih Tzu/ Poodle mix. He has been in our care for more than a month now and has made some real progress. When Gomez first came into our care, he had quite a bit of anxiety when he was left alone and would scream if he was put in a kennel. Gomez has successfully transitioned into being able to handle being kenneled for several hours while his family is away for work and school. He does great with other dogs and the cat living in his foster home. Gomez will require daily grooming and a haircut a few times a year. This is what his foster mom has to say: Meet Gomez Addams, a delightful canine companion brimming with joy. His favorite activities include playing fetch, engaging in tug-of-war, and amusingly carrying toys that are bigger than him. Gomez has a penchant for cozy sweaters, adding to his charming personality. This sweet, playful, and funny dog thrives on energy, yet he loves cuddling up for some quiet time too. Currently, Gomez continues to polish his potty and kennel training skills, showing great progress every day. Adopting Gomez Addams means bringing home endless laughter, activity, and affection. If you're looking for a loyal companion who can bring laughter and love into your home, Gomez Addams is your perfect match!

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.
