Shih Tzu and Poodle Dogs Available for Adoption in Bonifay, Florida

Meet Emma, a sweet Shih Tzu/Poodle mix weighing about 24 pounds and estimated to be 10 years old. She's a quiet, chill little girl looking for a forever home where she can relax, cuddle, and simply enjoy life with her people.
Emma is the type of dog who is happy just being near you. She loves belly rubs, enjoys lounging on the couch, and will also happily chill on the floor right beside you. When you come home, she's always there to greet you at the door, and if you talk to her, her tail immediately starts wagging. Every now and then she'll give a few sweet kisses too. She's very easy on a leash and enjoys calm walks and sniffing around outside.
She also absolutely loves car rides and makes the perfect little co-pilot for trips around town or long rides for a vacation.
She does bark if the other dogs bark, and she enjoys watching squirrels and cats with the other dogs in the yard. Around the house, she's mostly a laid-back couch potato who just wants a cozy place to relax and people to love.
Emma does need rugs or traction on slippery floors because it can take her a moment to get her back feet underneath her on slick surfaces. Once she gets going, though, she does just fine.
Emma has been through quite a bit medically and has handled it all like a champ. She previously had mammary tumor surgery that removed an entire mammary chain along with lymph nodes. She also had surgery to remove a large skin tag on her head and recently had a dental with extractions.
She does have a heart murmur and takes Vetmedin twice daily to help manage it. Emma is fully vetted, medically cared for, and ready for her forever family.
Emma also needs to lose quite a bit of weight, and we are already helping her work toward a healthier lifestyle.
Despite everything she's been through, Emma remains a loving, gentle companion who would be perfect for someone wanting a calm, affectionate dog to share quiet days, cozy evenings, and car rides with.
