Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescueyahoo), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet. This special guy is GIZMO, the finder who rescued him from the streets of San Antonio, TX thought that is what he looked like before he was groomed. He was heavily matted and had to be shaved down. He is still a handsome hunk who is a very good companion. GIZMO is 2 years old and 20 pounds. I checked the Special Needs box because he is totally deaf but it is not a disability for him. He follows hand gestures and is a routine type of dog. There are no special instructions or daily maintenance that is required for him, all he needs is love. He was well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick. He loves to cuddle and follows me around without getting in the way. He favorite past-time is to lay by your side and just watch what is going on in the house. He plays and gets along with all of the foster dogs, big and small. He loves my 10 year old granddaughter and sleeps with her. GIZMO would make a great companion to someone who needs a buddy to hang out with and take on errands. He is easy to handle and there is no special instructions for him. If you are interested in adopting GIZMO please submit an application on the website below. More pictures are available.

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.
