Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Meet Clifton - a true survivor with the biggest heart! Clifton’s story is one of resilience and hope. He came into rescue as skin and bones, but thanks to love, care, and consistency, he has blossomed into a healthy, happy boy who is truly loving life. Now, he’s ready for a forever home where he can keep thriving. Clifton is almost fully house broken and crate trained. He is sweet, curious, and absolutely full of life and love. He adores people and enjoys the company of other dogs, rarely barks, and is wonderfully well-behaved… though if a shoe is left within reach, he may decide it’s the perfect chew toy (he’s still got that playful puppy streak!). This energetic boy loves long walks—multiple times a day if possible—along with playing fetch, chewing on bones, cuddling with his people, and taking well-earned naps. Exploring the world on walks is one of his favorite things, and he would be thrilled with an active home that enjoys getting out and about. Clifton does best with older kids and would especially love a family that can give him plenty of attention and engagement. His biggest joy is being with his people, and he struggles with being left alone, as he has some separation anxiety. He has learned routines quickly in his foster home and would thrive in a household where someone is home most of the day, can provide daily walks, and lots of love. An ideal home for Clifton would include another small, playful dog to keep him company, help burn off energy, and ease his anxiety when his humans are away. With the right match, Clifton will reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and joy. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Clifton may be your perfect match! Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

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.
