Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. APPLICATIONS CLOSED Hi, I’m Holly I’m an 11-pound Shih Tzu mix with big round eyes, a never-stop propeller tail, and a heart that’s about ten sizes too big for my tiny body. I’m sweet, gentle, and very polite—sometimes too polite. I’m still learning that I don’t have to be so submissive, but my confidence is growing every day. And when my spunky side peeks through? Oh boy—it’s adorable. Think playful zoomies followed immediately by a very serious nap. Speaking of naps… I am a professional heated-blanket burrower. If there’s a warm blanket, I’m under it. If you’re under it too? Even better. I love curling up, being carried around like the precious loaf I am, and leaning in for hugs and kisses. I love kisses. Please give many. I’m soft. Like, ridiculously soft. Silky, shiny, touch-me-forever soft. I might have a little Yorkie or mini poodle magic mixed in—mystery fluff, if you will. Other important Holly facts: • I love treats, snuffle mats, and eating in general (great appetite ✔️) • I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and cats • I’m nearly fully housetrained (I’m trying very hard, promise) • I love everyone I meet and stay endlessly positive • I’m funny and playful… but also a certified couch potato • I want to do whatever you’re doing—always I’m curious, affectionate, and learning that the world is a safe, cozy place. If you’re looking for a tiny shadow with a wagging tail, soft fur, and endless love to give, I might just be your girl. *requires a QUIET & PATIENT home and location to thrive. *located in Burlington

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.
