Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (Toy) (long coat). Meet Gracie! Age: est 3 years old. Breed: shihtzu/poodle.mix. Size: est 12lbs. Training: Crate and leash trained, working on house training and doing well. Good with dogs/cats? Yes to both. Good with kids/men/women? Yes, she loves everyone. Personality: friendly, playful, affectionate. Reason for rescue: Gracie was rescued after being abused. She was adopted and recently returned due to life changes for her owner. Gracie has already overcome so much in her life. She was abused and left with a broken leg that healed improperly. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to slow her down one bit, and her veterinarian feels it is best to leave it alone rather than put her through an amputation. Despite everything she has endured, Gracie remains a loving, resilient girl who deserves the very best. She is spayed, heartworm negative, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations and preventatives. She is scheduled for a teeth cleaning on 7/20 and will then be available for adoption. If you are interested in adding this sweet girl to your family, please message us to request an adoption application. Adoption fee: $250.

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.
