Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (long coat). Adoption Fee: 300. Meet Javier (Javi) Javi is a petite 3‑year‑old, 8 pound Shih Tzu mix with a soft black coat. He had very little human interaction early in life, so he is timid, but already blossoming in his foster home. He’s taking treats, offering sweet little hand kisses, and learning structure and routine. Javi recently discovered how much he enjoys neighborhood walks and is picking up leash skills beautifully. Once he feels safe, his playful side comes out. He’d love another small, friendly dog who can both romp and snuggle. Javi is very comfortable with other dogs. Structure helps Javi thrive. He does best with routine, gentle boundaries, and patient humans. He now sleeps comfortably in his crate and settles after a few minutes when left alone. He’s still working on potty training and will need someone consistent and encouraging. Who Javi is looking for: A calm, loving home that understands trust takes time. Because of his size and sensitive nature, he’s best with older children only. If you’re looking for a sweet, sensitive companion who will reward your patience with growing affection, Javi might be your perfect match. His adoption fee is $300 and he is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. To meet him text 602-908-6215.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih-Poo is a charming designer breed, a delightful cross between the gentle Shih Tzu and the intelligent Miniature Poodle, typically originating from breeders seeking to combine the best traits of both. These small companion dogs usually boast a soft, wavy to curly coat that is often low-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. Physically, they exhibit a compact build, expressive eyes, and come in a variety of colors. In terms of temperament, Shih-Poos are generally affectionate, playful, and highly adaptable, making them excellent family pets and well-suited for apartment living due to their moderate exercise needs. They thrive on human companionship and can be quite trainable with positive reinforcement. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental problems, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
