Story

Hi. I’m Gus.I’m 6 years old, a Shih Tzu, and I’m currently accepting applications for my next forever human. Please read carefully. I have standards. About Me:• Fully housebroken (because I’m not an animal… wait)• Calm, quiet, and emotionally mature• I coexist peacefully with cats and calm small dogs• Kids are a no (nothing personal, I just prefer serenity)• I like things a certain way and will silently judge if they are not• Please do not pick me up—I prefer all four paws on the ground like a gentleman• I may be a little finicky, but that’s just flavor Ideal Home:An older lady would be lovely. Someone who enjoys quiet mornings, routines, and understands that love can be expressed by simply sitting near each other doing absolutely nothing. I’m not needy. I’m not chaotic. I’m more of a “we share a peaceful existence and I follow you from room to room” type. If you’re looking for a calm companion with a big personality in a small body, I might be your guy.Apply below. I’ll be waiting. Probably judging. Requirements: No Children All of our animals reside in loving foster homes until they are adopted into their perfect match. If you are interested in meeting this animal, please complete an adoption application on our website: https://www.BestPawsRescue.com Ages and breeds are our best estimates, and we cannot make any guarantees.

Story

EMMA - young adult (maybe 3ish?) ✅ Is your ride or die ✅ Snuggly ✅ Thinks she's a lap dog ✅ Super smart ✅ Loves playing ✅ Agile ✅ Confident ✅ Drop dead gorgeous ✅ Thinks strangers are friends she hasn't met yet ✅ Struts around the Hilldale mall area like she owns the place ✅ Loves food ✅ Loves toys ✅ Has a smile that will warm your heart on even the coldest of winter days Emma is one of the ranch favorites! She has gotten along with some dogs but not with others, so we'd like her to be an only dog. Emma met one of our kittens on the ranch and play bowed to her, but she may try to play too rough with kitties. She is just so excited by them. Emma loves hard, plays hard, and sleeps hard. She gives kisses freely to anyone she meets and thrives off of affection. She is such a quick learner and is always eager to learn more! She has been working with a trainer on the ranch to expand her knowledge skill set! Come meet Emma - she doesn't know you yet, but she already loves you! See a video of her doing agility here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16EsKwHGhx/
