Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Bao! I'm a 12-lb Shih Tzu blend and I'm just 5 years old. Bao stands for brave, adorable, and outgoing... or is it beautiful, affectionate, and outstanding? Either way, I am ready to bring lots of love, snuggles, fun, and adventures to a kind, patient family. Could that be you?

Favorite Things: Bao is a good, loving, beautiful soul. This extroverted little social butterfly just wants to be everyone's friend and enjoys snuggling up with his people.. He also loves to play, whether with toys or by running around outside.

Training & Manners: This sweet pup has all the makings of a little gentleman! He does well on the leash, even though he prefers a fenced yard where he can run and play.He is making good progress with housetraining, he loves car rides, and he sleeps in his dog bed at night.

Health & Care: Bao is neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations. He'll just need his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog.

Other Animals: Bao has done well wih the other small dogs he's met. He hasn't been observed around cats yet, but his foster thinks this calm litle guy would get along with them.

Children: A gentle soul, Bao does well with children, although he'll need a home with kind, understanding children (ages 8+) who will be equally gentle with him. He can be a bit shy at first and take a moment to warm up to new people.

Ideal Home: Bao doesn't require much: he'd do well in a condo, apartment, or single-family home, as long as it is filled with people who love him.

Overall: Could you use more Bao in your life? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption or foster application. If it seems like a good match, our team will reach out with more information. His adoption donation is $375.
