Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450.00. All dogs listed here are available for adoption from Yorkie Rescue Houston. Our goal is to ensure our rescued pets go to their forever home and never end up back in the system. To that end, an application is required on all potential adopters. Our adoption fee varies by dog. We accept electronic funds via VENMO or Zelle, or cash only. donateyorkierescuehouston or, if you prefer: our fundraising platform, Zeffy Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered are available for Foster-to-Adopt only. A FTA contract is required. Mona was pulled from the BARC animal shelter with a ruptured eye. Mona had a microchip, but the owner never registered it and was never notified she needed help! The shelter allowed us to take her on a 'medical release' with the understanding that if the owner came forward in the 72 hour stray hold, we would relinquish the dog back to the shelter to be reunited with her legal family. (per policy, we would not be allow to recover any costs associated with her medical care) We didn't care. She needed help immediately. Fortunately for us, no one ever inquired about her at the shelter and after 72 hours, she became our dog, legally. Her ruptured eye was removed and she received all her medical care, vaccines, spay, etc.... She is a DELIGHTFUL little girl, looking for a home that DESERVES HER!

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.
