Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Boo Boo! Boo Boo is a Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix with a big personality! He is a sweet, friendly little guy who happily approaches everyone he meets when spoken to kindly. He is around 5 months old and weighs 6 lbs. He can be a little nervous with sudden movements, so a home without young children would not be best for him. Don’t let his tiny size fool you—Boo Boo loves to run and explore! Because of his small size and adventurous spirit, a securely fenced-in yard is a must for this little guy. Boo Boo is working hard on his potty training and does well sleeping in his crate. He would love a playful canine companion, especially since he came into rescue with his sister and enjoys having another dog to play with. He has also been around cats and does well with them. He is curious but respectful of their cues and does not chase. Boo Boo is a sweet little guy looking for a loving family who will continue to help him learn, grow, and feel confident We are asking potential adopters to have homes with kids 8 or older only If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

Breed overview
Overview:
The delightful ShiChi, a charming crossbreed between the spirited Chihuahua and the affectionate Shih Tzu, originated from the desire to blend the best qualities of both parent breeds. These small companions typically inherit a varied appearance, often featuring a soft, medium-length coat that can be a range of colors, with their size generally falling between 6 to 12 pounds. Temperamentally, ShiChis are known for being playful, affectionate, and generally good-natured, making them suitable for many living situations. They adapt well to apartment living due to their compact size and moderate exercise needs, and with proper socialization, can be wonderful additions to families with older children. While generally robust, potential health considerations can include patellar luxation, eye conditions, and dental issues, inherited from their parent breeds, making regular veterinary check-ups essential for a long, happy life.
