  • Are you expecting a child, or planning a family in the future?

  • Why A Shih Tzu or high maintenance dog?

  • The Shih Tzu and many other long hair toy breeds are a high maintenance dog, and while you may love the breed you may discover that you do not have the time or the resources to devote to its upkeep. But if you do, the furbaby will more than repay you with a lifetime of loyalty

  • Your Home

  • References

  • Please provide three names as references, including your veterinarian and groomer. If you currently own a dog or have a history of dog ownership, you must provide a vet reference for your application to be processed.

Other references could include a neighbor or anyone who owns a Shih Tzu, other toy breed or other high maintenance breed; such as a friend, relative or co-worker who has knowledge of you with your dogs past or present. Only 1 reference may be a relative. Your application will NOT be considered if you do not complete this section.
