Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN NEW JERSEY AND LOCAL SURROUNDING AREAS!!! If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you within 48 hrs. No inquiries, please, without an application. Everyone meet Blanche! She is a 2 year old Shih Tzu that was rescued after running around the streets. She was obviously dumped as she was not microchipped, was extremely matted. After a good grooming Blanche was ready to become a whole new dog. She is so sweet, loves to cuddle and give kisses. She loves yard time and is learning how to walk in a leash. We believe she may have been abused as she drops to the ground and army crawls when she hears loud noises or her foster mom raises her voice. Blanche is about two years old and weighs about 13lbs. She is slowly learning how to play with toys and she loves other dogs. She finds comfort in other confident dogs. She could be adopted as an only dog or adopted into a home with another dog. If you are interested in Blanche, please complete an application at bfdaaa.

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.
