Description
Dog Breed: Poodle (Miniature) / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Zach & Jena This super sweet senior duo is upbeat, easygoing, and simply lovely to be around. They’re well-mannered, happy-go-lucky, and wonderfully undemanding. Jena & Zach are bonded 10-year-old siblings believed to be Shih-poos or Cockapoos - although without a DNA test, that’s just our best guess! When they arrived, they were a combined 17 pounds overweight - a significant amount for their small frames. Thanks to proper diet and exercise, they’ve already lost 10 pounds, and with every pound gone, they’ve gained so much life back. Their joy has blossomed as they’ve regained the ability to enjoy walks, belly rubs, and even jump for excitement when we come home - all things they struggled to do before. They’re sweet, quiet, and happiest lounging together in a big cozy bed. Zach enjoys chewing bones that are way too big for him. Jena is a professional stuffy & squeaker toy assassin. (you better get a Barkbox subscription!) They LOVE their daily walks and can barely contain their joy when the leashes come out! Housetrained (not a single accident in foster care) Fully vetted Dog friendly - they prefer calm, quiet dogs Good with calm, respectful kids Cats unknown, though honestly, they’re not chasing anything these days These sweet seniors are looking for a forever family who will continue supporting their health and wellness journey. A home with minimal stairs would be ideal for their continued success. Do you have the perfect home to give Zach & Jena the retirement life they deserve?

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.
