My story

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

MEET RIDGE - A PERFECT LITTLE COMPANION!  (located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

This little guy has just come into our care - an owner surrender.  He's cute as a button, and one of the best behaved dogs I have EVER fostered; doesn't bark, doesn't beg, can dance on his hind legs for treats - loves EVERYONE, gives nibble kisses, loves to play, loves other dogs (big & small), loves cats AND kids, comes when he is called AND loves being on your lap!   

He is about 16 months old - and full grown at 6 lbs. - The breeder's papers say he is a Blue Shih Tzu. He is up to date on all vaccines, chipped and recently neutered!   

Due to an old injury, he does have dry eye which requires drops daily. But he has a calm demeanor and lets you administer the drops with ease.  

He is not totally housebroken - but in a home with less activity and more one-on-one time, we are confident he can be trained.  

If you are interested in RIDGE, please email jmilbyer@gmail.com for an application -

This little fella won't last long... and upon approval, we can arrange for you to meet him.  He is currently living in Ft. Lauderdale, FL     

 Adoption fee $400

Email for an application: jmilbyer@gmail.com

NOTE: Adoption fees are applied towards the vet bill: exam, blood tests, vaccinations, fecal, worming, spay/neuter, and microchip. There is rarely anything left over, but if that happens, the monies get applied to the next or previous pet- who may have had to have an x-ray, be groomed or have a dental.

Additional adoption info

We perform a telephone or in-person interview and ask our perspective adopters to complete an application for review by our board (generally takes a day or less). We want to meet the family, so we will come to your house to see where our pet will live. We do a vet check and if applicable, a landlord or condo association check as well. And finally, we accept an adoption donation that is applied towards the vet and care bill for that pet. The range is from $75 to $350.

For the most part, we reply primarily on the internet because we all work full-time jobs during the week!

We do not have a physical building - just private foster homes.

Our EMAIL is monitored day and night,and is the BEST way to contact us.

More about this rescue

We are a group of animal loving people who volunteer our time to save the life of an animal in need. We are not breed specific but our ability to help depends entirely upon whether we have a foster home in which to place the pet while we are looking for a new forever home.

We are entirely volunteer and none of us are compensated for our time or efforts. Monies donated go toward the animals in our care.
