Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Hi! My name Ladybug, aka Millie and I will be your new best friend. They say I am 4 years old and only weight 10 lbs! I came to Paws because my owner could no longer care for me. I am missing some fur on my neck and belly, but the vet says it should grow back eventually. I love all people and kind to all that I meet. I love to walk and I will do my business on a walk, but I will go on a Pee Pad if I need to go and no one notices! I love to play but also love to cuddle with my Foster Mom. I sit quitely in my bed while my Foster Mom works and won't bother anyone. I love my crate! I will go in there and nap when I am tired. My foster mom says my snoring is part of my charm. I would be fine with a canine friend or I could also be your one and only. I have not been around kids, but with my sweet temperman, I am sure I would be fine. I can't wait to find my new home!

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.
