Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Maltese. Winston was rescued from a crowded shelter. He was nervous very matted and dirty when first found in the streets. After a week he warmed up. Shelter staff were able to shave off mats and bathed him. He enjoyed laps and gave kisses. Plays with toys. Was good with other dogs. Now happy and playful meeting another dog out of the shelter. He is now relaxing at his loving foster home with another dog. So far he is very friendly and sweet. He will be groomed soon to even out body coat paws and trim his face. Once he is healthy he will be neutered. More photo and info to come from his foster home. He is a sweetie.

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.
