My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rocky, white and grey, neutered male, Shih Tzu, 1-2 years old, weighs 14 lbs, heartworm negative, available 08/13/2014, adoptable.
This little guy Rocky came to us a stray so we don’t know much about his past. However, we do know he had fun frolicking in the sticker patch because he was covered in foxtails when he came to us. We were able to clean him up and give him a hair cut. This is a friendly little guy who likes people as well as other dogs. The name Shih Tzu comes from the Chinese word for "lion dog" because this kind of dog was bred to resemble "the lion” as depicted in traditional oriental art. According to some sources, although a Shih Tzu's temperament varies from dog to dog, the breed has a personality and temperament that is loyal, affectionate, outgoing, and alert. Also, Shih Tzu dogs have been observed to get peevish if provoked, so an owner should be mindful when the dog is in the presence of children. Overall, this breed makes for a friendly and outgoing companion. Come by the Shelter and meet this sturdy little guy. Rocky is heartworm negative and already neutered. So he is all set to go to his forever home and start a new journey with you.
