Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Meet Billy! Billy is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu with a big personality packed into a tiny, adorable package. This little guy loves being the center of attention and would likely do best as the only pet so he can soak up all the love from his people. Billy adores being carried around like the little prince he is and loves wearing cozy sweaters. He would be happiest with a family who includes him in their daily adventures—whether that’s running errands, visiting friends, or traveling together. Billy forms very strong bonds with his people and does experience separation anxiety, so he’s looking for a home where someone is around most of the time. A work-from-home or retired household would be ideal so Billy can stay close to his favorite humans throughout the day. Billy is ready to find a home where he can be someone’s loyal sidekick and beloved little shadow. Current weight: 12lbs Adoption Fee: $250 To Apply: .fcrspca/adopt

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.
