My story

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

After spending 5 minutes with this lovely, sweet, little boy, it’s hard not to scoop him up in your arms and bring him home. Edward is a dear, mellow, beautiful soul, who was severely neglected. He ended up all alone and in danger, wandering busy city streets. It’s a miracle he survived, especially with his very limited vision and hearing. Now, he is ready for his second miracle, to be adopted, loved, and cared for the way he deserves.

Edward is a Shih Tzu, 13-14 pounds, whose age is unknown but estimated at

12-13 years. He is very friendly and a total sweetheart, who warms the hearts of everyone he meets. He loves to cuddle and snuggle, and gives the sweetest little kisses. Edward had a cough when he arrived and was evaluated by our vet and cardiologist. He has serious heart and lung issues, and is on several medications.

Edward is responding beautifully to the love and care he is receiving. His cough has decreased significantly, and he even enjoys a little strolling in the yard or on a leash. Edward’s prognosis is uncertain, but we are hoping to give him more happy months to years.

All he needs is for the person meant for him to step forward, put in an application, and/or call Harriet at 954-680-6456. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see more of dear, sweet Edward.

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.
