Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida - District 4 Jacksonville added 2 new photos.Hello humans, I’m Nike but my foster parents call me <3 Nugget <3. I do have a lot of energy and enjoy walks or runs. My foster parents are working with me as I get a little vocal when I’m on the leash and get near unknown dogs. I just get excited but I’m getting better about containing my excitement. I really enjoy the walks we take! I can do well with more than 1 dog in the home although if I’m the only dog that’s ok too. I get excited around children too when I play I can ...get a little mouthy. So families with older children would be best for me. I would be a great companion for someone, too. My foster parents will tell you that I’ve never jump up on them or on the furniture. Of course if invited on the couch to cuddle, I might take you up on that! I don’t counter surf (shh… I can’t reach the counter). I have never had an accident in the house. I enjoy having my back scratched, massages (yes my foster dad gives me massages), car rides, and hanging with the pack.

I know I will make someone a great friend. If you have already been approved to adopt from our Rescue please tell your adoption counselor about this post.

"“Meet the newest addition to our family. His name is Mulligan. We thought it was a fitting name since he's getting a second opportunity at life (and I take quite a few of them on the golf course). He's a chocolate lab about 11 months old that someone abandoned. We decided to rescue him from LRROF today and he's awesome. Jameson now has a new friend to terrorize. Welcome home, Mulligan!”" - Mulligan, you got a GREAT new name and sure picked a wonderful family who will love you forever!

Look who was Senior of the Day at San Jose Beauclerc Animal Hospital- handsome LR Alumni Scooby! He's made the major transformation from rescue to adopted.

LRRoF foster Christina fed and loved on him, the good folks at our vet's office gave him what he needed to get healthy and then his new forever family Mark and Davi filled him up with their love and affection.

Shih Tzu Dogs Shih Tzu are lively and energetic companions. Tesco Cot Bed Duvet SetsYet, they are also amazingly low-key and satisfied—assuming they get an adequate amount of attention. Kitchenaid Mixer Big LotsThey like nothing better than to be held, stroked, petted and pampered by their owners, and are perfectly happy sitting on the couch with you for hours while you dote on them. Cat Adoption Clinton NjThis is a noble breed—sometimes translating into arrogance and haughtiness, other times into courageousness and politeness—but they are never too proud for a roll on the floor with a treasured squeaky toy. What They Are Like to Live With A good family dog and highly interactive, Shih Tzu usually adapt well to adults and children alike.

Not especially suspicious of strangers, they still make an alert and consistent watchdog, barking heartily when people approach the house. Things You Should Know As you can see by looking at one, Shih Tzus require more care than other breeds, especially when the hair is kept long. They need daily brushing and regular haircuts to avoid tangles. However, they shed very little dander, making them a great pet choice for people with allergies. Though good family dogs, Shih Tzu are not especially good with very young children. They cannot be handled roughly or awkwardly and tend to get snappish when their patience wears thin. Feeding note: Keep an eye on Shih Tzu while they are drinking. Because their noses are so centrally located, water can easily block their breathing. A healthy Shih Tzu can live as long as 15 years. Common health issues include hip dysplasia, ear and kidney infections, and eye problems. Check their ears and eyes regularly for cleanliness. (You can even find special eye drops for them).

They are great apartment dwellers, but not happy in hot climates. And while they don’t require as much exercise as a Lab, a daily walk is necessary. Shih Tzu History The Shih Tzu is undoubtedly one of the world’s oldest dog breeds. Chinese paintings from the 6th century A.D. show Shi Tzu-like dogs, while documents from the period claim these pets were a gift to the Chinese court from the Byzantine Empire. Shih Tzu were house pets during the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644 A.D.) and since that time they’ve been highly prized and fiercely guarded by the Chinese. In 1908, they made their way to England, where they were bred and dispersed to Europe and Australia. The AKC certified the breed in 1969, and it has been a popular competitor and pal ever since. The Look of a Shih Tzu Shih Tzu are covered in flowing long hair, including a tuft above the nose which provides its trademark “chrysanthemum” (i.e., floral) face. On a typical Shih Tzu, the rounded head has a long beard and moustache, a short muzzle and a black nose (except in reddish brown dogs which have a reddish-brown nose).
