NAME: Martin BREED: Shih Tzu mix SEX: Male COLOR: white/brown AGE: 2 yrs as of July 2026 WEIGHT: 9.6 lbs LOCATED IN: Arcadia SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME: Meet Martin! Martin is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing just 9 pounds, and right now he's still letting us in on the little secrets of who he is. Martin is a shy boy who likes to take his time getting comfortable with new people and new surroundings. He isn't looking to be the center of attention. He's much more interested in finding a soft bed, stretching out in a warm patch of sunshine, and quietly watching the world go by. And honestly, Martin may be onto something. He enjoys treats and occasionally lets loose for a little playtime with his friend Gibson, giving us glimpses of the more playful personality hiding underneath that shy exterior. When Martin was found, his coat was extremely matted and desperately needed some TLC. Despite everything he had been through, he was a very good boy for his grooming. Because Martin is still new to Canine Castaways, were continuing to learn about him. We don't yet know all his favorite things, his funny little quirks, or exactly what his perfect home will look like. But were starting to see pieces of him. Martin doesn't need someone who expects him to show them everything on the first day. He needs someone willing to give him a little time and enjoy discovering who he becomes once he knows he's safe. Some dogs arrive ready to tell you their whole story. Martin is giving us his one page at a time.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Shih-Poo is a charming designer breed, a delightful cross between the gentle Shih Tzu and the intelligent Miniature Poodle, typically originating from breeders seeking to combine the best traits of both. These small companion dogs usually boast a soft, wavy to curly coat that is often low-shedding, making them a popular choice for individuals with allergies. Physically, they exhibit a compact build, expressive eyes, and come in a variety of colors. In terms of temperament, Shih-Poos are generally affectionate, playful, and highly adaptable, making them excellent family pets and well-suited for apartment living due to their moderate exercise needs. They thrive on human companionship and can be quite trainable with positive reinforcement. While generally robust, potential health considerations include issues common to their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental problems, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
