Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DEXTER THE SHIH TZU (Yes, I typed this myself. I’m very advanced.) Hello, humans. My name is Dexter (AL), I’m 2 years old, and I’m what the experts call ridiculously adorable. I’m a rescued Shih Tzu with the face of an angel, the confidence of a tiny lion, and the emotional range of a seasoned sitcom star. Let me break it down for you: I’m cute. Like, “people stop midsentence when they see me” cute. I’m spunky. I bring maincharacter energy everywhere I go. I’m happy. My tail wags so hard it could power a small city. I love people. All of them. Even the ones who talk too loudly on speakerphone. I'm not much of a dog's dog--I can take them or leave them, but if I take them, I'm likely to ignore them so you don't have to worry about having a doggy friend for me in my forever home. Basically, I’m the full package. A compact, fuzzy, joydispensing machine. All I need now is a forever human who appreciates my talents, such as: – Supervising snacks – Being decorative on couches – Offering moral support during TV binges – Pretending to understand your problems – Looking fabulous at all times. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to adopt a perfect dog, this is it. If you weren’t waiting for a sign, surprise—this is still it. Apply to adopt me at: .rescuedogsrocknyc. Do it now. I believe in you. And I believe in us. Love, Dexter, Your future best friend (manifesting it) Please be sure to reference this pet's name as Dexter (AL) in case of duplicate names within the rescue. Thank you! RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue. All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.

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.
