Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Shih Tzu / Mixed (long coat). Happy is a 1-2 year old Poodle/Shih Tzu mix, he weighs around 12 pounds. We pulled him from the animal shelter after they called us for help. Happi has had a rough life as far as we can tell. He was severely matted with burrs, hay and poop all twisted up in his hair. The 3rd picture shows what he looked like when we got him. Our vet tech shaved him down and he went from looking like a Shih Tzu to a Poodle. Even though he's had it rough he is a super sweet little guy. He loves everyone and just wags his little tail. He did great with one of the other smaller dogs in the rescue and an older child. He will need help with house training, he does lift his leg a lot. He is scheduled to be neutered this week which will help a lot with that. We just want him to have a forever home where he is loved unconditionally. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Happi please fill out an application from our website.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih-Poo is a charming designer breed, a delightful cross between the gentle Shih Tzu and the intelligent Miniature Poodle, typically originating from breeders seeking to combine the best traits of both. These small companion dogs usually boast a soft, wavy to curly coat that is often low-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. Physically, they exhibit a compact build, expressive eyes, and come in a variety of colors. In terms of temperament, Shih-Poos are generally affectionate, playful, and highly adaptable, making them excellent family pets and well-suited for apartment living due to their moderate exercise needs. They thrive on human companionship and can be quite trainable with positive reinforcement. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental problems, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
