Text Cecilia to 864-441-9075 for my full story and photos - we'll send everything you need to know! Here's Your Quick Peek: Cecilia - aka Cece - is the happiest little girl you’ll ever meet, always strutting around with her tail up and a big smile on her face. At just 10 lbs with adorable cow-like coloring, she’s as unique as she is sweet, making friends everywhere she goes. 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: A home with someone committed to ongoing medical needs, specifically daily eye drops (Cece has dry eyes) and an itchy skin routine (medicated baths weekly + daily oral medicine). Exercise: Cece is happy with daily walks and some strolls in a fenced yard. She isn't a marathon runner and doesn't want to go on multi-mile hikes. Best with: A family that is home more than they are away. Cece isn't needy, but she likes to know you are close by. Not ideal for: A home where you are gone for long periods of time. Energy level: Moderate - Cece is no couch potato. She loves a nap as much as the rest of us, but she also has plenty of pep in her step. Sweet as sugar and full of joy, Cece is the kind of pup who brightens every room (and every heart) she walks into. Good with dogs: Definitely! She enjoys playing with her foster siblings. Good with kids: Likely. We don't know if Cece has ever lived with kids, but she quite literally loves everyone so we cannot imagine her not enjoying children. Cats: Cece hasn't been tested with cats. If you have them, let us know and we can test her. Fun fact: Cece was described by the shelter as a "hot mess" and she definitely was when she arrived in rescue. What a beautiful, special girl we found under all that "mess"! 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.
