Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. ***NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AT THIS TIME*** Hi, I’m Holly I’m an approximately 5-year-old Shih Tzu with the softest, silkiest fur and big round eyes that are always watching the world with curiosity. I had a tough start in life as a mill mom, but I’m learning every day that life can be warm, safe, and full of love. I’m a very gentle girl with the fastest tail wag you’ve ever seen — seriously, it never stops! I love everyone I meet, whether they’re people, big dogs, little dogs, or even cats. Friends are my favorite. My happy place is curled up under a heated blanket, especially if I can burrow all the way in for a cozy nap. Treats make me very proud of myself, and I love working a snuffle mat — I’m a great eater and highly motivated by snacks (who isn’t?). I’m still learning that I don’t have to be so submissive and that it’s okay to take up space. I can be nervous at first, but I’m very curious, and my confidence is growing a little more each day. With patience and kindness, I blossom. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who will adore you with her whole heart (and wag her tail nonstop), I might just be your girl. *located in Burlington

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.
