Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Marilyn is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu with the softest cream coat and the most soulful little eyes. Through no fault of her own, she was left behind in an apartment when her family moved. Despite that heartbreak, Marilyn is gentle, loving, and ready to trust again. She’s past the puppy chaos and into the sweet spot of adulthood — calm, affectionate, and happiest right beside her person. Marilyn would thrive in a home where she can enjoy cozy routines, soft beds, and lots of lap time. She doesn’t ask for much — just patience, kindness, and someone who won’t leave her behind again. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will quietly steal your heart, Marilyn is waiting. Let’s give this girl the forever home she deserves.

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.
