Frenchie is a lovely dog and anyone would be lucky to be her forever home. She is an approximately three year old breeder release Shih-Tzu who is such a snuggly and loving dog, she would fit in (almost) seamlessly with any family that is missing an extra piece. Frenchie is partially house trained (was unsettled after her alteration but hasn’t had an accident since she’s healed). She’s house trained and is able to stay overnight in her kennel until you’re ready to be up at a reasonable hour (she’s pretty respectful like that). She spends every night in there and seems comfortable to have her own space. She has let out a whelp or two when we’ve left the house but it’s nothing overly bothersome. Frenchie loves all people, from preschoolers to adults. She’s particularly close to her foster mom and is the BEST snuggler. She’s been a good foster sister to her small dog foster brother, though some play fighting over toys has been known to happen (she is okay to give the toy up though and is generally a peacemaker). She is protective but not to a fault. She barks if there’s anything that she feels needs to be known or seen but isn’t excessive with it. She loves dog toys and generally knows how to distinguish between what’s acceptable for her to play with but isn’t perfect. She’s been known to steal a toy or two from the little human or chew on the wood corner of a decoration but it’s nothing that raised a concern. She REALLY doesn’t like the vacuum cleaner but does okay with a roomba. When outside, she loves to explore so if there’s a space in the fence that she can get out of or somewhere under the deck that she can squeeze into, she will go there. She’s had some accidents and does need to be let out often but we’ve been working with a bell and knows that the bell means to go out. She also sometimes thinks that poo is a treat so if you don’t pick up droppings immediately, she might try to snack on them (just doing her part to keep things tidy, TBH).

Frenchie does okay on a leash but will need a little work on the mechanics of it. She thrashes around a little on a harness but is happy to see other pups while out and about and is nothing but friendly to others.She’s OKAY in the car - small car rides, she likes to be held. Long rides, she cries for a little bit but is okay if she needs to stay in her kennel.Frenchie is a wonderful inside dog who happily takes zoomie-laps outside when going to the bathroom but will snuggle on your lap after.  Her energy level seems pretty on-par with her size, but she’s probably more of a lap dog rather than an energetic one. Frenchie just wants to be loved. She spent years with a breeder but it didn’t seem to affect her sweet hearted-ness. In fact, it seems that the only thing she suffered from was three broken teeth that needed to be removed. She’s not fearful or sad, she just wants snuggles and to be told that she’s brave - because she is. She’s the best dog and anyone would be lucky to have her!!
