Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Manny (AL) came from a shelter in Alabama where he found himself in need of rescue. He was picked up by a volunteer who fostered him at home temporarily until able to be transported to the vet. He is thought to be a 10 year old Shih Tzu. Manny is already neutered and ready to find his forever home! Information provided by previous foster states: Manny does cough when wearing a collar. He prefers to sleep beside, rather than on, the bed. Puppies freak him out! He runs away. Perhaps because of their energy level and him being senior. He ignored small dogs like him and loved the bigger calmer dogs and absolutely LIVES for CAR RIDES. Better put THAT on his favorite activity list! He will run and jump right in! He does have recall outside and showing his personality, may belly crawl back to you in the grass so you better be prepared for a good laugh. He will chase a cat for fun but doesnt hurt them, loves squeaky toys and laying with you on the couch or recliner relaxing, and does not bark often at all it seems.

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.
