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
Hi! We're Orb and Meridian — two best friends looking for a loving forever home to spend our golden years together. I’m Orb, the outgoing one! I love meeting new people and making friends wherever I go. Meridian is a little more reserved at first, but once she knows you, she is the sweetest, most loving girl who just wants to curl up in your lap and soak up all the affection. We’ve spent most of our lives together and can’t imagine being apart. Our hearts are full of love, and we’re hoping to find a family who will welcome us both home so we can continue our journey side by side.
