About this Dog
Date into Rescue: 07/06/23 Reason for being in rescue: Jax was found as a stray but is microchipped. It's taken some time to get through all the attempts to return him but it's evident now, he is ours. We found the owners and they arranged a pickup time but did not show up. They have not responded to calls or texts since that time. We suspect it is their way of letting us know he did not fit their lives. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Jax is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. He is quirky, opinionated and chases his tail all the time. And we mean that literally. Weight: 8.5 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? We're looking for a confirmed shih tzu or yorkie (or both) adult only please lover of the breed. An owner who will understand these guys are quirky and challenging but are also fun and endearing. Someone experienced with behavior challenges is what Rocky Jax needs. We know that Rocky is a little slow to warm up, but once he does, he gives you his heart. We know that he'd really prefer to be the only dog in your home or to have one other larger dog as a buddy and BFF. Rocky has several small dogs of the same size to romp, rock, and roll with all day long and several large dogs that he can stretch his legs and run with. He would love a home with a dog that's just his size or no dog at all. Rocky Jax does not enjoy small children and their sudden movements. A child-free home is the home of his choice. What is my personality like? Rocky Jax is a bit of an independent daydreamer. We catch him staring off into the heavens and then snapping back to reality. He has his life mapped out and doesn't want human input on how to change it. Rocky does what Rocky wants to do. True to his breed, Rocky Jax is a quirky, cool dude. He is reportedly a Yorkshire terrier and Shih Tzu mix and what a combination. Found as a stray, we finally connected with the owners, and know some of his life. He was owned by a young mother who lived with extended family in one home. However, other family members did not agree with having Rocky in the home. He spent most of his time in the backyard. He ran away several times and once was picked up by Animal Control. That is when he got neutered and got a microchip. Rocky has growled and snapped at his foster family but never connected. We think if he was pushed, he would connect and he would bite. His new owner needs to be committed to rehab for Rocky and to understanding that there are boundaries you can't cross. Respect those boundaries and he's a lot of fun. Push them and you may get teeth on you. Rocky is horrible for grooming. His groomer first puts a cone on him and then his foster mom holds on while the groomer shaves as fast as she can. When it comes to the face, that he does not allow. We take Rocky to the vet and let the vet give him a sleepy shot before we can groom his face. Rocky Jax's quirkiness involves a complicated relationship with his tail. His happy place is having a large backyard to run out and chase that tail for hours on end. He's convinced the tail does not belong on his body and once he sees it, he will spin and bark at it. Sometimes he only barks a few minutes, but we have seen Rocky bark for up to an hour at that tail. After he's worn out, he will come to seek affection or just follow you everywhere. Rocky loves a comfy chair or couch to snooze in. One thing is certain, Rocky is sure to make you crack a smile on a bad day. How do I act when I first meet new people? Rocky Jax can be slightly shy when meeting new people, but he quickly warms up with a few treats and some TLC. He will let you know if he's interested in affection. Other tips and tidbits: Rocky Jax was found as a stray but we found his family and they filled us in on some of his history. However, since we have nothing in writing, there are things about Rocky that we've had to guess on. Based on his overall health and condition we have estimated Jax at about 6 months. We celebrate his birthday 01/05/23. House trained? Dogs can be house-trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
