My story

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

Izzie’s story is even more tragic than the more common tale of a senior dog loosing their senior parent and ending up at the rescue. Izzie arrived here at the age of 11, part of a senior pair with his lovely brother Blue, who was 14. Izzie had a good chance of being adopted alone. However, Izzie and Blue loved each other and were very bonded, so we would not separate them, even though we knew their chances of being adopted were very slim due to Blue’s age. They spent two years together at the rescue, but Blue recently passed away. In addition, Izzie became blind from retinal detachments about one year ago.

Izzie is a very handsome Shih Tzu, about 13 years old and 16-17 pounds. He has adjusted to his vision loss incredibly well, and remains upbeat, friendly and spirited. He gets around well and enjoys walking in the yard. Izzie also likes petting and receiving attention. He has dry eye which is controlled with eye drops, and he goes to the vet for sedation for grooming. Otherwise he is well and strong. Izzie would do best with someone who is experienced, home alot, and has a yard. If Izzie’s story had touched your heart and you believe you are a great match for him, please put in an application today.

Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see more of Izzie. He sure does deserve a happy ending.

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.
