Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 3/16/26 Mylo is a precious little shih tzu who has had a rough way to go. He has been bounced around from home to home, through no fault of his. His most recent home had him for 4 days, but her cat wasn't crazy about him, so here we are. He is a great little guy! He is small, maybe 10-12 lbs. He does fine with the cats in his foster home, as well as the other dogs, but he does get a little bit nervous when all the dogs rush him at one time. Can't blame him, he's just a little guy. Mylo is 8 years young. He plays like a young pup still and is very fun and loving. He does have one little quirk. He doesn't like to be picked up under his front legs. We don't know why, but maybe he had some sort of trauma in his past. He likes to be picked up by "scooping" him rather than from under his front legs. Other than that, he's a perfect little guy! He does require regular grooming. He is totally house trained and has not had any accidents at all in his foster home. He is excellent on leash as well, and he is surprisingly good with the young grand child in his foster home. Mylo is located in Arkansas and can be adopted locally, or he can transport to the New England area if adopted there. If adopted in New England, his adopter will need to pick him up (or arrange for a trusted friend/family to pick him up) on a Saturday in PA, NY, or CT. Residents of other states may adopt as well, as long as they can meet our transporter along their route. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: form.jotform/212690945239059 Message or email apps.aasrgmail with any questions. Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

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.
