Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescueyahoo), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet. This stunning, smiling little guy is ROCK. Maybe I should not say little as he weighs a whopping 25 pounds, which is kind of big for a Shih Tzu but he is that. The vet says he needs to lose at least 20. He is 4 years old. ROCK was an owner surrender to a small Texas shelter from the son of an 83 year old man who has dementia. We are hoping to place ROCK in a home that he'll be happy and keep that glowing smile! He is in a foster home with other dogs as we do not have a shelter. I do not have any cats so I do not know how he would do with them. ROCK likes to hang around you but he is independent and quietly follows you around the house. He is not a barker unless he wants something. I do not have a doggy door, I just let the dogs out of my backdoor every few hours for a potty break and that is the word I use "Potty." Even though he has not missed a meal, he does enjoy breakfast and dinner time! He walks well on a leash, rides in the car without getting sick and would make a good companion for anyone. If you are interested in adopting ROCK, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. .roxysk9rescue ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.

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.
