Learn more about the Shih Tzu.

Abby is a 7 year old Shih Tzu/poodle mix. The first part of Abbey's life was nothing but producing puppies for profit and living in a barn.  We are so excited to be part of her second life journey as a pet and now forever loved!

 

 

Abby was used for breeding and came in extremely afraid of everything. She has been in rescue for a little bit and has shown a lot of improvement. Abby loves other dogs, and we would like her to have one in her new home. She likes to play and share her bed with a buddy!

Abby is doggy door trained and will use pee pads overnight. She will likely regress and need a little work in her forever home to get used to a new life and routine. She is crate trained, but we don’t crate her often in her foster home. She is terrified of a leash at this time, so a fenced-in yard is a must - no invisible fences please. 

Abby does bark when strangers come over; otherwise, she is pretty quiet when you are home with her. She isn’t a huge fan of small kids due to their fast movements. She would never harm them; she is just very nervous around them. We would prefer that she does not live with them full-time. Visiting children would be fine for her. She does require regular grooming, and although afraid, she is very cooperative.

Abby is still timid with people. She prefers to hang out with dogs over people. She is not a dog that will walk up to you asking for affection, but Abby will follow you around the house. When you get up from your seat on the couch, Abby will go looking for you or even take your seat! Abby will allow you to pet her and love on her, and you can pick her up, though she may be still a bit nervous. This has been a huge improvement for Abby. She really needs someone who is willing to pick her up, sit on the couch with her on a daily basis, and help her adjust to life outside of the cage. Abby has shown us that she is ready to move on and start bonding with her forever family. If you think Abby is the right match for you, make sure you apply today!

Abby is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $400
