Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Meet Stu! Stu is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu with the sweetest heart and the happiest little personality. This adorable boy is a professional snuggler who loves nothing more than being close to his people. Whether he’s being carried around like the little prince he is or curled up for a cozy cuddle, Stu is happiest when he’s soaking up love and affection. Stu is settling into foster life beautifully and has a foster sister who’s showing him the ropes. The two of them love to wrestle and play, and she’s been a great role model as Stu learns the routines of home life. When playtime is over, you’ll usually find him happily snuggled up with his foster mom or canine sister for a nap. Stu is also working on his potty manners and learning to go outside or use a pee pad. Like many dogs adjusting to a new environment, he’s still learning but making great progress each day. Because Stu bonds closely with his people and thrives on companionship, he would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time—such as someone who works from home or is retired. He may experience some separation anxiety if left alone for long periods, but in the right home he will be an incredibly loyal and loving companion. If you’re looking for a devoted little shadow who will fill your days with love, Stu might just be the perfect match for you! Current weight: 12lbs Adoption Fee: $250 To Apply: .fcrspca/adopt

Shih Tzu
A.K.A.: Lion Dog, Chrysanthemum Dog, Foo Dog, Xi Shi dog, Tibetan Temple Dog, Chinese Imperial Dog, Lhasa Lion Dog, Shitzu, Schipperke, Tzu, Shih Tzu Kou, Kou
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.
