Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Lhasa Apso / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Phoenix, an adorable Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso male mix. At 5 years old, Phoenix is being surrendered, through no fault of his own, and is in need of a loving home. He spends much of his time during the day alone, and would absolutely love a home where he can interact with his family, be active, be cuddled, and live his best life. Phoenix is about 13pounds of cuteness, searching for a committed, loving family. Phoenix sleeps in a crate with the door open. He is pad trained in the home, but will go outside as well. Also, leash and crate trained. He is up to date on vaccines and he is neutered. Pad training is due to Phoenix being alone up to 13 hours per day. At this time, Phoenix has not had interaction with other dogs, but current owner reports that he was left at doggy daycare and he got along with other dogs well. Phoenix would thrive in a home that’s ready to give lots of love and guidance as he continues to learn to interact with people and other animals, all while providing a family with love. Phoenix would thrive best in a quieter forever home where he can continue to show his wonderful personality. Since there is no history of Phoenix with small children, we recommend a home without children. Adopt Phoenix and make your heart and home whole.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih Apso is a charming and affectionate designer breed, a delightful blend of the Lhasa Apso and the Shih Tzu. Originating from crossing these two beloved Tibetan breeds, the Shih Apso inherits a wonderful combination of traits. Physically, they are typically small to medium-sized, boasting a luxurious, long, and often wavy double coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Their appearance can vary, but generally, they possess expressive eyes and a sweet, often flattened face. Temperamentally, they are known for being friendly, intelligent, and quite playful, making them excellent companions. They adapt well to apartment living and are generally good with respectful children and other pets, though early socialization is always beneficial. While generally healthy, potential health concerns can include respiratory issues common to brachycephalic breeds, as well as eye and joint problems, underscoring the importance of choosing a reputable breeder. Their loving nature makes them a wonderful addition to many households seeking a devoted furry friend.
