Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. ***COURTESY POST ONLY - PLEASE CONTACT ZACH FOR MORE INFO.*** Meet Jackie – A Sweet, Calm 13-Year-Old Mini Shih Tzu Jackie is a gentle, well-mannered miniature Shih Tzu looking for a loving home for her golden years. She’s in excellent health for her age, fully vaccinated, and has been cherished and well cared for her whole life. Jackie is wonderfully easygoing: • Great with other pets – she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. • Exceptionally quiet – she never barks. • House-trained – she reliably goes outside, and she also knows to use pee pads if you’re away for longer stretches. • Low-maintenance lifestyle – she enjoys short, leisurely walks, but she’s happiest curled up and snoozing for most of the day. • Temperament – very sweet and affectionate, though a bit timid around young children, so she’s best suited for a calmer home. • Spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations. • Grooming – not her favorite activity, but she tolerates baths, brushing, and trims without any trouble. Jackie is the perfect companion for someone who wants a quiet, cuddly, loving dog who’s easy to have around and brings a warm, peaceful energy to the home. Jackie and her sister, Gidget, need to find a new place to live through no fault of their own. They MUST be adopted together as they are a bonded pair. The circumstances prevent them from living at their current home and their dad is trying to find the best possible home for them where they can be loved and cared for just like they deserve. If you are interested in meeting Jackie and Gidget, please contact Zach at 703-969-2433.

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.
