Shih Tzu

Female, 7 mos
Lake Forest, CA
Size

Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zoey is a 6monthold female Shih Tzu who embodies everything this spunky little breed is known for. She’s confident, a bit bossy, and absolutely convinced she’s one of the big dogs. She gets along well with most large dogs, happily chasing and playing with them as if she’s their size. Zoey is crate trained and continuing to work on her potty training. Because of her bold personality, she would do best in a home without children under 14 and without small dogs. She’s fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and scheduled to be spayed soon. This girl thrives in an active home where she can play, explore, and keep up with her bigdog friends. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting Zoey, please visit www.LOLR.org to fill out an adoption application. ##2622557##
