Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Meet Tony Stark! ✈️ This little guy is ready to fly into his forever home! Tony might be small, but he’s got big energy and an even bigger heart. He loves zooming around our play yards and showing off his playful spirit — he’s always up for a good game or a run in the sunshine. Tony is currently pending a dog test, but one thing we already know is that he’ll thrive best in a home with kids 12 and older, as he can be protective of his food bowl. With some understanding and patience, Tony’s sure to settle right in and shine like the superhero he’s named after. If you’re looking for a fun, loyal companion with plenty of personality, Tony Stark is ready to blast off into your life! Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: acskc/adoption/adoption-application Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply! _ When it comes to our pets, we're all-inclusive! Find out what's included when you adopt from ACSKC: acskc/adoption/before-you-adopt/#whats-included

Breed overview
Shih Tzu
A.K.A.: Lion Dog, Chrysanthemum Dog, Foo Dog, Xi Shi dog, Tibetan Temple Dog, Chinese Imperial Dog, Lhasa Lion Dog, Shitzu, Schipperke, Tzu, Shih Tzu Kou, Kou
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.
