Special Needs: HEARTWORM POSITIVE; both the treatment type and services provided will be by Pet Rescue By Judy and/or its associated veterinarian's office. The commitment required from the adoptive family is the animal's attendance at the treatment, quiet time and relaxation after the procedure, followed up by monthly heart guard tablets each and every month in the future for the remainder of the life of the animal. The latter, of course, is an on-going parental obligations with all pets in the household.

Description:
Bearuregard is an adorable Shih Tzu. He was picked up and given to Judy by her neighbor who has called Orange County several times to complain about her rescue. How ironic is that!?!
Beauregard was such a mess when we got him that Judy immediately took him to the wonderful people at Fifi's Dog Groomers. When they brought him out afterward she said, "no that's not my dog." He was so different looking, to handsome, she truly didn't recognize him! How funny!!!
Beau is a real charmer, less than two years old and all personality. Like a lot of neglected dogs, he has tested positive for heartworms, a condition for which we will treat him. You're going to love him!!!
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.
