Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Halo is devastated by the loss of her mom and only home she has ever known since she was 8 weeks old. They had a close and loving bond, but Halo was surrendered due to difficult family and work circumstances. There is a lovely, sweet, adorable little girl in there, now being overshadowed by anxiety. We believe that with time and consistency, Halo will come around so her true, wonderful self can emerge. She does enjoy leash walks and rides nicely in the car. Halo is a gorgeous, small, Shih Tzu girl, about 6 years old and 7-8 pounds. We are looking for a compassionate soul who is touched by Halo’s tragic story, who can open their heart and home to her. Halo needs a parent who is home most of the time and who does not have any other pets, (or maybe one, small, gentle dog), and no small children. Please consider giving Halo a second chance at the happy life she greatly wants and deserves, and put in an application today.

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.
