My story

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

Beef Jerky Is a Shih Tzu puppy. He loves to explore his surroundings and play fight with other little dogs. So far he sleeps in a playpen. He may wake for late night for play fights, but will go back to sleep without problem.

Beef Jerky is using the puppy pads most of the time, but he is still learning. He is not quite sure what to do about using the potty outside just yet, but he does love to explore the yard. Beef Jerky is not possessive of his humans. He is okay with other dogs, and children, but hasn’t had experience with cats. He is OK with cars. He has not shown any signs of aggression of any type. He is just a curious puppy. He is definitely motivated by food.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
