She already has two large, older dogs and four are too many for her to care for. They are darling. One is black and white and energetic and playful. The second is grey and white quieter, and a real lovey, lap dog. They were found together and we hate the thought of breaking them up.

His name is George. He is very sweet. Our dogs hate him, and our cats don't like him much either. He is fine around them, their the ones with the problem. Was my grandfathers dog, but we just need to find him a new home now that his owner has past on. He can only have non-grain food, or he scratches. We take him to the groomer every two months.

Shasta is the younger of my parents' two purebred Shih Tzu's. Due to changes in family dynamic, she needs to find a loving new home. She still has the energy of a puppy, and we used to think she'd be a good agility dog. She gets along ok with other dogs, but can feel threatened by young children.

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-12-25-00209Lassen (female)
Lassen is my parents' much-beloved older purebred Shih Tzu. I estimate that she is about 10 years old at this point. She was a great companion to me before I left for college a few years ago, and due to changes in family dynamic, needs a loving home. She has lived with another Shih Tzu her whole life, but gets riled up by other animals and would probably be best in a pet free home. She is fine with older children, but is scared of strollers.

Bandit is a very sweet lap dog. We've had him 7 years. We rescued him when he was 9 years old. We were told he was pure but don't have papers. He loves to be with people. He's not entirely deaf or blind. His teeth are rotting and should be pulled. He doesn't seem to be in pain so and we've been told by our vet that they may break his jaw and have to be put down if we do remove all his teeth. More important we also have a senior citizen that lives with us that isn't very stable on her feet. Bandit has tripped her more than once and we're afraid one or both of them could get seriously hurt. Sacramento County Folsom, CA MAP IT!

We have had this dog for more than a year. We took him in when the original owners no longer wished to own pets. I am juggling traveling with. work, part - time school, and being a parent. I am not able to give this cute dog all the attention he needs every day. We live in an apartment so this dog is not able to roam around freely. He needs a home where he can have space to play, and he needed attention. Orange County Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688 MAP IT!

  | Rescue Me ID: 14-11-28-00160Jasper (male)
Jasper was living on the streets of South Los Angeles for who knows how long. He was matted, filthy, infested with fleas and he's got a hitch in his giddy (see video) but he is the most loving, social, polite little boy ever! He's great with dogs, cats, people of all ages! He's great in the car, walks perfect on a leash, learning to do his business outside and he's playful but not hyper. We estimate his age at 3-4 years old. He has a gimpy leg (back left) that we had 2 vets look at and they both said the same thing, it appears to be a old injury. There is some nerve damage and it's best to leave it alone. Trying to repair it would ... (Read More)only be opening a can of worms. It does not bother him whatsoever and he is able to run, jump on the couch and play with the other dogs. The groomer that gave him his makeover said he was a pleasure to groom. Since then I have bathed him a few times and he is very patient. He likes to snuggle but is not too needy. He loves to play with tennis balls and plush toys. (Less) LA Animal Rescue Los Angeles County Chatsworth, CA 91311 MAP IT!

This dog has a good home with us, but she prefers small dogs and we have large dogs. We rescued her from a life of neglect, and realized that adding a 4th dog to our family was a little too much. She is a love. She does not like to be left alone and hollars, but if you have other dogs she is fine. Nevada County 95946, CA MAP IT!

This little pearl colored, 10 lb, 1.5 yr old, Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, came from the Moreno Valley Shelter with a jacked up pelvis....and we mean fractured in too many places to count. It was basically shattered, but no surgery was called for.....just rest, rest and more rest. Now just imagine keeping a fiesty puppy quiet! Well, it has taken some time, but this little girl is a gem. Xandy is a well behaved puppy. She enjoys playing with her foster brothers and sisters, but is ... (Read More)female selective, so we think she would fit best with a male. She loves being groomed and enjoys cuddling next to you. She is very playful and loves chasing balls and ribbons (she thinks she's a cat). Xandy is doggie door and pee pad trained but is still learning her routines. She would do well in a house with other small male dogs her age. She walks well on a leash and enjoys riding in the car. Her ideal home would be one where she has company throughout the day and someone who can continue to improve on her learned skills. She can be a little selish with her food -- who knows what she had to do to get fed in the past. Xandy is a lucky girl, as she has been very loved in her foster home and by her rescuers. Whatever happened to her is in the past and her future looks bright. Might that future be with you?

He loves to zoom here, there and everywhere! This precious, 19 lb, ~1 yr old (DOB 10/10/2013), grizzle colored, ShiPoo (we know the mother was a Shih Tzu and the father was a Poodle) got the majority of the Poodle genes...while his brother, Yonny, was the opposite!

Family wants them until they are no longer puppies, and then they don't want them anymore. ... (Read More)Such was the case with these angels (who do not necessarily have to go together). Neither was in great shape, as you can see by the picture below of Zoomy....but they both have wonderful temperaments and are learning where the bathroom is!! Zoomy should definitely have kids in his life, as he is super friendly....and sweet....and active! Did i say, ACTIVE!! At least Zoomy is! Kids over 8 yrs old requested and welcomed. Definitely another dog for Zoom to play with (if it's not Yonny, it's okay) Love toys, love kisses, love belly rubs....just love being happy dogs. Zoomy will bark at another dog on the street and will need training on this. Otherwise....besides manners, this boy is waiting to zoom into your life!!

This gorgeous, 12 lb, 1 yr old boy, is a tawny brindle and is actually known to be a Shih Tzu, Poodle mix. If we saw him in the shelter, we would have thought him to be a Havanese....but his mother was a Shih Tzu, his father a poodle...and Zoomy is his brother!! He and Zoomy came from a home that bred their two dogs and gave the puppies to family....but these two boys stayed behind with the elderly grandmother. In a short period of time, she decided that they were 'too active' for her liking. ... (Read More)DUH. Puppies are a lot of fun, but they require training. Yonny is as adorable, playful, loving, sweet and happy as he looks! But, when he first arrived, he injested something he wasn't supposed to and gave us the scare of our lives! Now, he is feeling 100% back to normal and playing tug-o-war like a puppy should!! He is a kissy lover and toys are his life!! He can be a little withdrawn at first, and hide behind your couch or under a bed...but once he knows you and feels comfortable, expect him to be wherever you are!! Yonny MUST go to a home with another dog, his brother Zoomy would be a great choice (but they do not necessarily have to go together). He would be wonderful with kids over 8 yrs old....he is getting the hang of potty training, but he will need consistency and patience. Training is always the key to a well behaved dog! Yonny is a keeper....if you are looking for a second, small dog and you have a home with kids over 8 yrs old...look no more!!

Diggedy should be in the movies! He's the perfect little Disney dog - a 12lb One-Eyed Wonder! Rescued from the shelter, here's what his foster mum says about him... Diggedy is always happy and lively. He is so affectionate, charming and friendly. He loves to sit next you leaning on your lap and be patted and to cuddle you. He will follow you anywhere wherever you go. He is very playful. He likes catch ball or plastic bottle. When his ears flop around because of excitement, he looks like cartoon character. No one can fail to have a warm heart after that! Also he loves to play with doggie friends. Great with both of smaller and bigger dogs. ... (Read More)But sometimes he gets scared of overly exited bigger dogs that run over him but he is so friendly, he learns to calm himself down and gets along with them. He is a well behaved dog. He's gentle and patient with food. He barely bark at home except he's left home alone. He doesn't like being alone at home for a long time. When you get home, there will be lovely friend welcoming you with a smiling face, wagging tail and shaking paws up and down like dancing.' So, if you think this adorable boy could be the one for you, please email roadogsandrescue@gmail.com for an application and tell us a little about yourself.

He might not be nothin' but a hound dog....but this handsome, coal black/white, 2 yr old, 12 lb, Shih Tzu would love to be a friend of yours!! At the shelter he was very scared and not very forthcoming. Once freed....he was asking for attention and love. Elvis is a bit on the independent side at first, but once he knows and trusts you, he will 'love you tender' and shake, rattle and roll!! He does love to be cuddled and will snuggle with you... but he gets distracted ... (Read More)easily! While he is not in the least bit aggressive, he is protective of his food at first and his 'stuff.' Because of this, we don't recommend young kids. Elvis doesn't have a mean bone in his body, but he is not so sure you don't!! He seems to be potty trained, but we never guarantee. What we can guarantee is a great companion if you are looking for a buddy. Elvis could go into a home with or without another dog BUT he could not be left alone all day. He would be great to take with you to work, or lay by your feet while you are working. Give him a toy, he will walk around with it and squeak it just to let you know he is nearby! A patient guardian is all he needs....and in no time he'll be begging for belly rubs! And he won't even chew up your blue suede shoes!!

Dolly is a senior dog born Nov 18, 2000. Her owner was elderly, 94, and was unable to care for her anymore due to his own health issues. He brought her to the vet for euthanization and was terribly heartbroken but had nowhere to go with her. The timing was perfect for Dolly as we happened to be at the vet with one of our own dogs. The vet office alerted us to the sad situation. Happily one of our foster parents took Dolly into her home. Dolly is still spry for her age with no known health issues except she appears to be deaf and losing some sight. Her foster home has other dogs that she is with and she is fine with them but she is ... (Read More)not interested in playing. She is 12 lbs, the perfect size!!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-08-12-00014Jolie (female)
Meet Jolie, sadly this BEAUTIFUL lady has just begun to experience life for the first time. Jolie was used for a breeding program, and that's all she's EVER known. For the first time Jolie is living life outside of a crate or her breeding pen. Her previous owner surrendered her to a local vet when she was no longer of service to him saying she was 5 years old.When I saw her original photo she looked absolutely miserable. We took her in and had her examined to make sure she would survive being spayed. We were devastated to learn that 1) Jolie was actually closer to 10 years of age, not five and 2) she absolutely could NOT have any kind of ... (Read More)surgery as she has a Grade 5 heart murmur (of 6). Our vet estimates that she has approximately 2-3 years left to live and she CAN have a quality life with her remaining days. She will need to take medication for her heart daily, but it's not a burden at all it is very easy to administer. Since she's been in her foster home Jolie has gotten to experience grass, freedom of movement, and yes dress up time! She loves the attention, and is FINALLY SMILING! The posted photo is the FIRST smile her foster was able to photograph. She went from Grumpy dog to a Shih Tzu that is content and finally enjoying her life. If you think you can open your home to this fantastic senior, (that is an amazing cuddle bug by the way)for the last few years of her life please do not hesitate to call me or email me immediately. We want to move this girl into her forever happy life as soon as possible so she can experience what so many of her puppies started with. We have more photos if you'd like to see her.

Shih Tzu Dogs can make good pets in California if they match your IifestyIe. The Shih-Tzu is a toy breed similar to the Pekingese. Shih-Tzus are proud little dogs and loaded with personality. Shih-Tzus are gentle and do fine with children who are taught to respect the dogs. Shih-Tzus bark to announce people approaching their homes. Shih-Tzus need early obedience training and may require patience when housebreaking. A Shih-Tzu will do just fine in an apartment if it gets enough exercise.
