Thai is looking for a forever home after being rescues and cared for by a real dog lover. Unfotuanlly they are unable to keep him and are looking to find the perfect fit, Below is what they had to say about Thai:

Thai is should not be in a home with children. He needs to be in a home with adults only. He gets along well with small dogs, so another small dog in the household is fine. He is a sweet boy who loves to be cuddled and sleep in bed with you. He loves to play with his toys, especially his stuffed turtle that he always has with him. He does not like to be left alone for long periods of time. He loves walks. He is definitely a lap dog  who will cuddle you any chance he gets. Thai is a rescue dog and does not like to be startled so a soft approach is the way to go.

 

 

Are you unfamiliar with the Shih Tzu breed? Pronounced SHEET-sue, they are known as alert, spunky, happy and hardy. They are bred with an underbite which gives them a constant "smile." Traditionally, their coat is kept long, with ears blending into the body, distinct mustache, and a top knot secured with a bow. However, in our Florida climate, many are clipped short to relieve them of the heat. An alert watch dog, Shih Tzus like to bark but are usually quiet in the house. Originally from China, they were a favorite of the Imperial Chinese court and so revered that for many years after the Chinese began trading with the West, they refused to sell, or even give away, any of the little dogs. It was not until 1930 that the first pair was imported to England. The life expectancy of Shih Tzus in 16 years.
