Story
I’m looking to rehome my dog, Fendi 🐾 This is honestly really hard for me, but with my work and school schedule getting so busy, I can’t give her the time and attention she truly deserves. Fendi is such a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and be close to her person. She’ll happily sleep under the blanket with you and loves having a soft, fluffy bed. She has a big personality—she even stands on her two feet and “dances” when she’s begging for food, which is one of the cutest things about her. She enjoys long walks, hikes, and being outside, especially during the summer. She does well with kids and can get along with other dogs once she gets used to them. She can be a little picky with other animals and may come off a bit feisty at times, but she’s friendly overall and means well. Fendi is very attached and can be a little clingy—she really needs someone who can give her a lot of love, attention, and reassurance. I’m looking for a loving, patient home where she’ll be loved.

Story
Luna, a Shih Tzu, is a 6 year old beautiful lady with expressive eyes and a black and gray coat with some tan. She came from a puppy mill so she will need a great deal of patience and a fenced yard. She goes outside to go potty if let her out on a regular basis. She is experiencing a home for the first time so is very frightened of everything new. She is working hard to get used to petting, strangers and noises. She is a work in progress and will need the most patient of homes. Other dog friends will help her adjust. She may never be the sit in your lap kind of dog. She will let you know how glad she is to be with you if you just look at those eyes. My foster Mom says Im beautiful and no matter how afraid I have been, I have never been aggressive. I even let her cut my nails, clean my ears and give me a bath. I would fit best in a home with no children, people knowledgeable about dogs that is willing to take time with me and a fenced yard is a must. If interested in adopting Luna please fill out an adoption application at tinypawssmalldogrescue.org

While we aren't entirely certain what his exact breed makeup is, we can tell you he is 100% Sherlock Holmes Understudy! With any rescue, training and socialization are incredibly important to the success of the pup. Apply for Lucky today! You can go to cchs-petshelter.org/applying-to-adopt or bit.ly/CCHSadopt.

Meet Duke! Duke came to CCHS as an owner surrender towards the beginning of this March after some unexpected life changes occurred. This handsome Weimaraner is about 4 years old and weighs roughly 112lbs currently. Duke is a proper gentleman!
