Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Lhasa Apso. ✨ Meet Sir Tashi - the sweetest little gentleman you'll ever know! ✨ Sir Tashi is a 15-lb Shih Tzu, approximately 3 years old, with a heart as soft as his cuddles. He's playful, affectionate, and truly an all-around good boy with so much love to give. ✔️ Doing great with potty training following other dogs through dog door. ✔️ Crate trained (sleeps in crate at night) ✔️ Walks beautifully on leash ✔️ Loves toys, playtime, and his foster siblings ✔️ World-class cuddle bug Sir Tashi also has a silly, mischievous side — he's a sock, shoe, and "anything small enough to grab" thief 😄. He doesn't chew things up, but he will happily steal items to parade around or play with them. It's more funny than destructive, but it does mean keeping small items picked up. Sir Tashi is still learning and will need continued training. Like many Shih Tzus, he can be a bit stubborn, especially when it comes to house manners. He is making progress, but this breed does best with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Short, fun training sessions work best for basic commands, and adopters should expect a learning curve — particularly with housebreaking. Sir Tashi came into rescue alongside his Shih Tzu brother, Mister Tenzi (check k9ppr for his profile). While they are no longer fostered together and Sir Tashi will absolutely thrive independently, adopters interested in both brothers will receive a package adoption discount. 💔 Important note: These boys were previously kept outdoors and neglected. Because of that, they will need a patient, understanding home committed to continuing basic manners and reinforcing potty habits as they settle into a new environment. Sir Tashi (or the two of them together!) would make a wonderful addition to a loving, committed family. Could that family be yours? ⸻ 🐾 Adoption Requirements • Another dog required • Gentle children 10+ • Temperature controlled home- (Shih Tzus are prone to overheating) • Short walks only • Professional grooming every 6 weeks (not a low-maintenance breed) A detailed adoption application is required. Only applications that clearly meet the criteria and provide meaningful information will be considered. At K9 Paw Print Rescue, we believe every dog is a precious soul deserving of a home that truly fits them. 👉 Apply at: .k9ppr

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.
