Story
I'm Benji, and I am ALL puppy — in the very best way! This 1-year-old, 10-pound Maltese Shih Tzu mix boy started life as a backyard breeder dog, but you'd never know it now. I'm happy, playful, and absolutely delighted by the world around me. Backyard? I must investigate every inch of it. Toys? I'll play fetch AND tug of war, with you, by myself, or with a furry friend — I'm flexible. Zoomies? Oh yes. Until I can't anymore. Then nap time. I ride like a champ in the car, sleep sweetly on my dog bed, and I am *very* dignified at dinner. I can be a little skittish at first, but once I've found my people, I become a certified shadow. My foster mom can confirm I follow her everywhere, including the bathroom. Someone's gotta keep watch. I look up to my foster brother Hermie and hope to have a canine bestie just like him in my forever home — a doggie sibling and a fenced yard would be my absolute dream! Still polishing my potty skills (but doing great!) — a patient family and a consistent potty schedule are all I need to nail it! NO cats please, and I would probably do ok with older dog-savvy kids.

Story
Hi, I'm Jacob — but my foster mom calls me Curly Q, because my tail curls into a perfect little Q! I'm a 12-year-old tricolor Shih Tzu boy, and I am here to tell you that the good life is ALL about lap time, belly rubs, and a little rump scratch. I do sport an adorable permanent wink — my right eye had to be removed due to some serious issues but it’s all healed up. My remaining eye has a cataract but I can still see some, and my hearing? Absolutely excellent. I know my name AND exactly when the treat bag comes out. I'm a peaceful, laid-back gentleman who takes life at a gentle pace. I walk nicely on a leash (we just keep things slow and scenic), and I am never picky about food. At a mighty 8 pounds, I'm perfectly portable and I think I would do well around other dogs, cats and older, dog-savvy kids. I do best with someone home most of the day and thrive on a regular schedule. I may need a little male wrap overnight, but otherwise my house manners are great. I can be a little reserved initially but after a few days, I warm up and then it’s pure sweetness. Apply to adopt me at https://tinyurl.com/FCCRadoptionapp Adoption fee: $225

Story
Hello- my name is Naomi. I am part of a group of dog that Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue took in after a breeder decided we were no longer of use. I am estimated at 3-4 yrs old and weigh about 15lbs. My teeth were in horrible condition so, along with all my other medical needs, my rescue took care of that as well! I am missing one of my back paws, but it doesn’t slow me down or bother me at all! I don't really even know I am a little different than the other doggos!I am a little shy at first, but have found I love to be held and petted. I will need help with leash training and potty training. I am friendly with other dogs and have an overall calm personality.My $325 adoption fee includes vet check, up-to-date vaccinations, spay, heartworm test (negative), microchip and deworming. If you want to make me part of your family please go to www.gofar.dog and complete a free, non-binding adoption application. If you encounter any issues with our website, please email adoptions@gofar.dog.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21
