Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Marnie is as fantastic as they come, and it’s a crying shame that she has been at the rescue for over 1 1/2 years. The reason no one has stepped up to love this precious little girl is simply because she was born with a small jawbone, which causes her tongue to hang out of her mouth most of the time. (She can bring the tongue fully inside her mouth, but it usually falls back out). Marnie is an absolute sweetheart with a big, bright, fun personality. She adores being with people, and loves it all, from hanging out and cuddling in a cozy lap, to playing with toys, playing fetch, and going for walks. Marnie is a happy and friendly girl, who shares her zest for life with everyone, human and canine alike. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and, needless to say, she is a favorite amongst our staff and volunteers. Marnie is a Shih Tzu, about 4-5 years old and 12-13 pounds. She receives eye drops for dry eye, and no other medication. Please watch the video, at the end of the photos, to see this adorable, super fun girl, showing off all of her wonderful attributes. Could you be the angel she has been waiting and waiting for? Please consider opening your heart and home to Marnie and put in an application today.

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.
