Shy and timid are the best adjectives to describe this beautiful tan princess. Firefly has never known human companionship, and it shows. She's going to be a project. And she's going to be worth the investment. Please note - if you want to skip the text and go straight to the application, you can find the link here: .carolinapoodlerescue/application/ Must have: Dogs. And patient, experienced adopters that will offer her time and space to blossom into the pet she can be. Exercise: Medium, though Firefly knows less than nothing about walking on a leash. You will teach her everything. Best with: Dogs Not ideal for: A home with kids - fast movements and fast-moving hands are too much for our shy princess. Energy level: Medium Firefly would do best in a calm home with another confident dog to help her feel more secure. While she is quiet and reserved, even outside during play, she remains calm and composed as she takes in the world at her own pace. Good with dogs: Absolutely. She needs them. Good with kids: No - they are too unfamiliar in an already unfamiliar world. Cats: Unknown - if you have them let us know and we can test them. She's never lived with them. Fun fact: Firefly will avoid human contact at all cost. Slow and steady wins the race with this one. Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them. Want updates and ways to help?

Breed overview
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.
