Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Meet Bart! Bart is a 7-year-old, 10-pound sweetheart who's looking for a patient family willing to help him discover that life can be pretty wonderful. Everything is still new and a little scary for Bart. He's timid and cautious, but every day he gets a little braver. In just a week, he's already started warming up to me and has found comfort in following my dog, Ricky, everywhere he goes. Ricky is clearly his security blanket! One of Bart's cutest quirks is the adorable little army crawl he does to greet me when I get home. It's his own special way of saying, "I'm happy you're back," and it's impossible not to smile when you see it. Walking on a leash is still a work in progress, so he'll need a family that's willing to go at his pace and celebrate the little victories. Potty-training is going well and he generally tolerates his crate as long as it has a comfy bed in it. He is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for his age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. Bart is currently being fostered in South Carolina. ADOPT BART!! .LuckyPupRescueSC The adoption fee is $375.00 and we require a vet check and home visit.

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.
