My story

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

If you are looking for a wonderful, sweet girl, who is greatly in need, please read on about Charlotte Grace. Although not a little, fluffy, Shih Tzu, which most of our clients seek, once you learn about the difficulties Charlotte Grace has endured, you might open your heart to this terrific terrier. Charlotte Grace was abandoned on the streets and came to us over 2 years ago. She was about 8 years old, unspayed, had burns on some of her paw pads, and had heartworms. We were able to spay her, and her paw pads healed nicely. The heartworm treatment was eventually successful, but the disease left her with a bad case of pulmonary hypertension. She is comfortable at rest, but coughs if she gets too excited or exercises too much. Her last check up at the cardiologist was good in that her condition had stabilized.
 
          Charlotte Grace is a friendly, fun, silly girl, who will make a devoted, loving companion. She adores being with people, receiving belly rubs, going for short walks, and just hanging out. Most of her time will need to be inside, out of the heat, and calm. Charlotte Grace is now about 10 years old. She is overweight, but should be about
15-16 pounds at proper weight. She will be best as the only dog at home, or with another, mellow, male dog (no females).
   
     Despite her history of neglect, abandonment, and heartworm disease, Charlotte Grace is a beautiful, spirited, fantastic girl, who enjoys every day to the fullest.  She may not be the dog you thought you were looking for at Shih Tzu Rescue, but, if you want to love and support one of our dogs in greatest need, please consider Charlotte Grace, and put in an application, and/or call Harriet today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see sweet Charlotte Grace enjoying her people time and warming our hearts. She is amazing!

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.
