Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). ***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at .emmetcountyanimalshelter Hello, My name is Fritz. I am looking for my best buddy or greatest gal pal. I am potty trained and I will tell you when I need to go out. I am good with other fur friends, and humans but I am shy at first. However, when I open up you'll meet the goofiest goofball. I prefer to sleep in my own bed. I love the outside. Walks? Yes. Run in the yard? Yes. Play outside? Always yes. I love to be where you are. Cooking, cleaning, chores, watching tv, I want to be there too. *DM me if you'd like to meet up. Fritz. (LMAO) Notes that Fritz didn't mention in his bio.... he was abandoned by his previous owners. So please be ready to commit to his sweet fluffy face for another 15 years. Also since joining us while waiting for his new forever family has been vaccinated and neutered. He's cute and he knows it but we don't need any lil Fritzs! Oh, he also has a microchip but he's really hoping he never needs to use it! He would adore a fenced yard so he can hang out in the out and run around but if you wanted to go for walks and stuff he would be cool with that too. His adoption fee is $300.00 If Fritz looks like someone you would want to swipe right for make sure to submit that app!

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.
