About Ziva-Arr (Shih tzu) in United States

Ziva-Arr is waiting for you at Ohio Fuzzy Pawz Shih Tzu Rescue, Inc. in United States. Meet Ziva – Your Velvety Little Shadow! Ziva is a joyful, affectionate girl who brings a perfect blend of curiosity, playfulness, and sweetness to every moment. As a puppy mill survivor, she’s already come so far and continues to blossom more each day, learning what it means to be loved and cherished in a home of her own. Whether she’s exploring the yard, tossing around her favorite toys (or turning paper into one!), or curled up beside you on the couch, Ziva is happiest when she’s near her people. She absolutely loves attention and isn’t shy about asking for more—if you stop petting her too soon, she’ll gently tap you with her paw as a reminder that she’s not done soaking up the love just yet. Ziva is wonderful with other dogs and truly thrives with a canine companion. She looks to her furry friends for confidence and companionship, and having another dog in the home will help her continue to grow and feel secure. While she enjoys spending time outdoors, Ziva would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard, as she’s not a fan of the leash and prefers to explore on her own terms. She’s making great progress with her house training—she uses pee pads but also goes outside regularly when given the opportunity. As is common with many puppy mill survivors, she’ll benefit from a patient, consistent routine as she continues to learn. Ziva does require daily eye drops like many Shih Tzu, but she takes them like a champ! Like many sensitive souls, Ziva isn’t a fan of thunderstorms and will look to her people for comfort when the skies get loud. In return, she offers unwavering companionship and a gentle, loving presence that makes every day brighter. She has a playful, puppy-like spirit—everything can be a toy!—and keeps life fun and entertaining. She also did wonderfully at the groomer, showing just how adaptable and easygoing she can be. Ziva would do best in a home where she
