Rescue Me ID: 14-04-14-00192Ali (male)

Shih Tzu    Age: Adult

Compatibility: Good with Most Cats, Good with Kids and Adults 
Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Neutered, Vaccinations Current 

    THIS IS A COURTESY POST-An adoption application, home visit, and an adoption fee will be required. Ali was put in a local shelter because his owners do not have time to take care of him. He is a very sweet guy with a happy personality. This adorable boy is friendly with people. While he gets along with most children, he does best with older children. Ali also gets along with cats. His favorite things are his ball, milk bones, and car rides. Because he is small and NOT a barker, he is ideal for a condo or apartment. Since he has been baby gate trained, Ali has never needed to stay in a crate. Can you please give him the forever home he ... (Read More)needs? Ali will repay you with loving cuddles and snuggles. Please apply to adopt Ali today. (Less)

Rescue Me ID: 14-04-08-00273Frida Kahlo (female)

Shih Tzu Mix    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good with Most Dogs, Not Good with Cats 
Personality: Average Energy, Somewhat Dominant 
Health: Needs to be Spayed, Vaccinations Current, Fearful/Anxious 

    Help us help Frida Kahlo (formerly Riley)! This adorable little girl has been in our care for nearly a week and is doing really well. This 2-3 year old shih tzu / maltese mix came into the shelter as an owner surrender and was utterly terrified. She exhibited aggressive behavior toward shelter staff and strangers which stems from fear. Her coat was also matted. After walking her outside of the shelter, I saw huge potential and decided to foster her. It didn't take long for her to come out of her shell and her true colors to show. On day two, we took Frida to the groomer. She is now sporting her new spring look and feeling like a million ... (Read More)bucks! We introduced her to other dogs and, to our surprise, she really likes most other dogs! She prefers doggy pals who are closer to her size, or, are submissive to her. Frida also loves chew toys, stuffed animals, and balls. She can be super playful! She also loooves going on walks with her humans, and has good leash manners. We have learned that Frida is house trained. She had not been crate trained, but we are working on that and she is doing very well. She sleeps the entire night in her crate, but you have to cover it with a blanket so she can't see out. She barks for about 5 minutes before settling down. We're working on teaching her basic commands. She does know 'WAIT' 'COME' and 'OFF' but we're still working on 'SIT.' She also has pretty good recall. Frida will need to work with a K9 behavioral specialist to address her fear of strangers... but once she gets to know you, she is a HUGE cuddle bug!!! She is the epitome of a lap dog. She loves her humans (foster moms, friends, and family) but needs a little time to warm up to anyone else. We do NOT recommend a home with small children, as she can be unpredictable around them. She also likes to chase cats, so a house without cats is preferred. We absolutely adore this little girl... We are hoping to find her the PERFECT home with loving, patient people who will give her a new lease on life. She so deserves it. If you're interested in meeting Frida Kahlo AKA Riley, please call Richmond Animal Care and Control at (804) 646-5573 to schedule a meet and greet or stop by 1600 Chamberlayne Ave, Richmond, VA 23222 to fill out an adoption application. Approved applicants will have to meet with us, the foster parents, to ensure that Frida is going to a home that will best suit her. :) (Less)

Rescue Me ID: 14-03-27-00066Lady (female)

Shih Tzu    Age: Young Adult

Compatibility: Good with Most Dogs, Good with Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Average Temperament 
Health: Spayed, Vaccinations Current 

     Meet Lady! She is a gorgeous 3 year old female shih tzu and faithful companion. Lady was given up to rescue when her people moved. Lady is a quiet, sweet, and somewhat independent girl as she does not have to be attached to your side at all times. She even sleeps in her own bed like a big girl. However she does enjoy the company of her person and would do best in a home where she will not be left alone for long hours. She likes to hear the squeak of her squeaky toys and often carries them around with her. Lady loves to go for walks and rides in the car. She gets along well with other dogs. If you are interested in Lady, please complete the ... (Read More)adoption application http://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form3/index.html. (Less)

PIease Read Before Adopting a Shih Tzu in Virginia
    Shih Tzu Dogs can make good pets in Virginia 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.
