Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Adoption Fee: 395. All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Snickers- Snickers is 3-year-old Shih Tzu who was part of a bonded pair of siblings. Unfortunately, his sister was adopted but the adopters decided to return Snickers. Snickers is a social butterfly! Outgoing and playful, he loves to run, romp, and play with other pups — he has a very excited play style and prefers submissive dogs to be his play friends. He adores toys (playing fetch with his avocado toy is his fav pastime), enjoys meeting new people, and brings a joyful, energetic spark wherever he goes. He is housebroken but his ideal home would have someone home much of the time to help him continue the progress he has made on his housebreaking skills and maintain a routine. He does ok in a crate but much prefers being with his people at night. He does well on a leash and is great in the car too. He can be sensitive to outdoor noises which cause him to bark, so an apartment probably isnt a good fit for him. All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only.

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.
