Description
Dog Breed: Lhasa Apso / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 200.00. Hi, my name is Bella! I am a sweet 2-year-old girl looking for a family to call my own. I came to rescue after living with the same family since I was a puppy. I don't know exactly what changed, but I spent a lot of time in a crate and my skin wasn't cared for, causing me to lose much of my beautiful coat. The good news is my hair is growing back, and every day I'm feeling healthier, happier, and more loved. My favorite thing in the whole world is being with my people. If you're looking for a cuddle buddy, I'm your girl! I love pets, belly rubs, scratches, and spending time right by your side. I also get along well with other dogs and even cats, so I could fit into many different families. One of the unfortunate things about my past is that I wasn't kept on monthly heartworm prevention, so I tested positive for heartworms. The good news is I'm already on the road to recovery! I'm taking all of my medications as directed, and Advocates 4 Animals will cover all of the expenses for my heartworm treatment, so my forever family can focus on loving me while I heal. I've left my past behind me and am ready for a lifetime of love, snuggles, and second chances. If you're interested in meeting a sweet cuddle bug with a heart full of love, I just might be the perfect girl for you. I can't wait to meet my forever family and start my happily ever after. ❤️ Bella’s adoption fee is $200.00 which includes all shots, spay, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih Apso is a charming and affectionate designer breed, a delightful blend of the Lhasa Apso and the Shih Tzu. Originating from crossing these two beloved Tibetan breeds, the Shih Apso inherits a wonderful combination of traits. Physically, they are typically small to medium-sized, boasting a luxurious, long, and often wavy double coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Their appearance can vary, but generally, they possess expressive eyes and a sweet, often flattened face. Temperamentally, they are known for being friendly, intelligent, and quite playful, making them excellent companions. They adapt well to apartment living and are generally good with respectful children and other pets, though early socialization is always beneficial. While generally healthy, potential health concerns can include respiratory issues common to brachycephalic breeds, as well as eye and joint problems, underscoring the importance of choosing a reputable breeder. Their loving nature makes them a wonderful addition to many households seeking a devoted furry friend.
