Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Adoption Fee: 100.00. *COURTESY POST* Meet Samson! Samson is an adorable 4-year-old male Shih Tzu weighing in at a perfect 18 lbs of fluff and charm. He’s a gentle little guy who gets along well with other animals, though we’re still learning how he feels about bigger dogs. Samson isn’t destructive, but when he gets a bit anxious, he likes to chew on his blanket for comfort—it's his version of a stress ball! He’s very treat-motivated (he’ll do just about anything for a snack!) and prefers not to be left alone for long periods. He loves being close to his people and thrives on companionship. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal little buddy with a big heart, Samson might just be your perfect match. ✨ Not in the care of Tired Dog Rescue *Courtesy Post* Good with kids, Good with Adults, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House & Crate trained

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.
