ADOPTED ON 04-10-15 - Update on Chaz -Northern foster: Chaz is full of life and he walked in like he had lived with us forever. He walked in and was ready to welcome the world. Chaz was introduced to each of the foster dog’s one at a time. He absolutely loves to run and play in the snow, and has a high energy level. He has no fear and can sometimes come on a little strong, though he means well. A few of the older more dominate dogs in the pack have corrected him. Chaz accepts these corrections. Chaz is now completely housebroken and will go out with the pack or scratch at the door and let you know he needs to relieve himself. Due to the weather he has not been able to be on leash recently, but has his previous foster said he had done well on leash. He did well in the car on his transport from Louisiana to Connecticut.
Chaz loves his crate because he eats in there, and can be found napping when he wants down time. He loves to hang with the other dogs or hang out with his foster mom's husband. Chaz does like to nibble fingers, which may be his form of affection, but it you tell him to stop he listens. Chaz is loveable, inquisitive and smart. He is willing to learn as long as you are willing to put in the time. Chaz has a fun outgoing personality and would do great with any family that is active. He loves being the center of attention and he will be sure to entertain you for years to come!
Chaz did not have the best experience with humans in the beginning. He was thrown out of the back of a pickup truck onto a dirt road in the south. Fortunately for Him a witness was standing by. She spent some time coaxing him with treats and kind words, and once she was able to get him to come to her, she called the rescue. This woman fed and cared for Him until his southern foster was able to pick him up. Chaz being the awesome little guy he is, chose not to hold any grudges against humans, and is a happy go lucky dog.
Chaz is a one year old male shih-Tzu mix and he weighs approximately 22lbs. He was very recently neutered, and is up to date on all vaccinations. Chaz absolutely loves to play, whether it be with other dogs or his toys. He is always up for a wrestling match, but he also has moments where he will sit quietly and chew his toys. He loves to be outside, but gets bored when it is rainy and he cannot be outdoors. His foster mom says on these days, she makes sure he has bones and pig ears and that seems to occupy him. He is a nosey little guy, and if he is not provided with daily stimulus he will tend to investigate and find himself something to get into! Chaz does enjoy the company of other dogs, but he can be a little bossy with new males. Chaz can also be a little overly friendly and will just go right up and say OK let's play right now. Dogs generally don't like when another dog marches right into their space without the appropriate sniffing and greeting taking place first, so Chaz could use a little help with boundaries. Chaz absolutely loves all people, he runs to greet you and is ready to play, his whole body wiggles with excitement! Chaz walks perfectly on a leash.
The ideal home for Chaz would be one with a large fenced in yard where he could run and play. He has a very high activity level, so his new home must be committed to daily playtime and walks, to provide him with the stimulus he needs. It would be great if his new owners took him to class to learn some basic skills and manners. He loves his people so he would be very excited to go! He could be placed in a home with another dog. We would recommend that it be another dog similar in size to him with a calmer disposition to balance out his excited personality. IA female versus male may be a better match, as he tends to be bossy with new males he meets. However, he could also be the only dog in the home as he loves to be the center of attention! His behavior with cats is unknown at this time. We feel that his activity level is a little too much for an elderly person and if there were children in the home, it is recommended they be over the age of 8. Although he is small, he is very excitable and could accidentally knock over a smaller child or older person in his enthusiasm. In a nutshell, if you are looking for a companion who will always be by your side, keep you on your toes, and provide you with your daily dose of laughter, then Chaz is your man! If you think your home sounds like the right fit please fill out an adoption application.

We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!

Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting.
