Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. When Halo arrived, she was devastated by the loss of her mom and only home she had known since she was 8 weeks old. They had a loving, close bond, but Halo was surrendered due to very difficult family and work circumstances. After a few months of being at the rescue, Halo is responding beautifully to all the consistent love and attention she is receiving by our staff and volunteers. She is now happy, relaxed, prances around in the yard with her tail up, and seeks out attention and even belly rubs. She is still tentative about being picked up. Halo is loving the company of her two new boyfriends Connor and Toodles, and even plays a little with Connor. She also enjoys leash walks and rides nicely in the car. Halo is a gorgeous, petite Shih Tzu, about 6 years old and 8 pounds. If you would like to open your heart and home to this little princess, please put in an application today. Please watch the video, at the end of the photos, to see Halo’s positive progression…such a joy to see!

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.
