Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Hi, my name is Panda! I am two years old and can be full of beans when it’s play time, or I can be like a cuddly teddy bear in your arms as we watch any movie you like! I love to go on walks but I also like my quiet nap times throughout the day. Being as cute as I am, I am usually the centre of attention when I am in a room and that is just the way I like it. My beagle foster sister and I get along well - sometimes we snuggle on the same bed and go for walks together. When my foster mama goes to work (she leaves me one day a week, what nerve!) or she goes out, I go into my crate. I am learning that my crate is a safe space and will eventually settle and go to sleep. I can’t wait to meet you” *located in Toronto • Adaptable to condo, city, suburban, or rural living • Great with adults, children, and seniors • Low exercise needs (two 20-minute walks daily) • Can be left alone for a full workday • Knows "sit" and loves stealing socks • Not tested with cats • Best as an only pet or with a submissive dog • may need reminders for pee breaks

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.
