Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Casper has all the joy, playfulness, and energy of a young, happy, boy. He is sweet and very friendly, and couldn’t be any cuter. He will spend endless hours enjoying your company, playing fetch, and cuddling. He walks nicely on a leash and gets along well with other dogs. He is a great playmate for another dog of similar size and age, that also likes to play with other dogs. He has made a good playmate buddy in Tyler, who is also available for adoption. Casper is an adorable, all white Shih Tzu, about 2-3 years old and 14-15 pounds. He came from a very tragic home, where he lost vision in his right eye from prior trauma. He takes one eye drop daily in that eye. His left eye is normal and has good vision. If you believe you are a great match for this fantastic boy, please put in an application today. Please watch the video, at the end of the photos, to see all the adorable sides of Casper.

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.
