Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Meet Pete! 6-year-old Shih Tzu | Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted with Penny Pete is a true cuddle bug and lap dog through and through. Within seconds of meeting someone, he’s ready to climb into a lap and stay there — affection is his love language. Sweet, gentle, and devoted, Pete thrives on closeness and connection. Though he’s the natural leader of the duo, Pete’s heart is all about Penny. Wherever he goes, she follows — and if she lags behind, Pete will patiently wait for her or even turn back to walk alongside her. Their bond is lifelong, having been together since birth, and they must be adopted together. Pete gets along with everyone and brings an easygoing, loving presence wherever he goes. He would be happiest in a home that enjoys constant companionship, shared couch time, and welcoming two hearts instead of one. Crate trained Potty trained Pete is ready to give endless love — especially when Penny is right by his side. Applications can be filled out at .piedmontanimalrescue/adopt!

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.
