My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

  
 Marlo and Iggy are a fantastic, bonded pair, who have been at the rescue for 9 years, almost their entire lives. Marlo is Iggy’s mother, but they are very close in age. When they arrived, they were very young. Marlo has always been an angel, but Iggy was untrained and would sometimes bite, especially people he didn’t know. We have been working with him all these years, and his behavior has greatly improved. Actually, both Marlo and Iggy are extremely friendly and affectionate, and they love to spend time with people, cuddling, playing, and getting belly rubs. However, on a rare occasion, Iggy will still bite, but it is almost always someone he doesn’t recognize. This is the only reason they are still at the rescue and it will take a special, experienced and patient person, who would consider coming to meet them more than once, to give them they chance they so deserve.
 
          Marlo is a Shih Tzu, about 11 years old and 12 pounds. Iggy is a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix, about 10 old and 14 pounds. They both have remained very happy, energetic, and upbeat, and they get along with other dogs. Marlo and Iggy love each other and all the staff and volunteers at the rescue, who they interact with so beautifully (see video).  If you believe you are that special someone for Marlo and Iggy, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see this beautiful duo in action. Maybe you will be the one to give them a chance.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption contract that must be completed and approved. We require vet and personal references as well home checks. Our normal response time is approximately 7 to 10 working days. Our Adoption Committee works very hard to place our dogs in environments where they will be most likely to succeed. Please understand that we have more applications than we do dogs and that if you do not hear from us within that timeframe, we currently do not have a dog who we feel would match your needs.

Our fee includes neuter or spay, all shots, and snap test for heartworm/erlichia/lyme. We take care of whatever their medical needs might be before they are adopted.

WE DO NOT SHIP OR ADOPT OUT OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA AREA.
