Story
Meet Gumbo – A Little Love Bug with a Big Heart!  Gumbo is a 6-year-old Maltese/Poodle mix who is discovering just how wonderful life can be when you're surrounded by love! Gumbo is a sweet, affectionate little guy who absolutely adores his people. If there's an opportunity to be held, cuddled, or showered with attention, Gumbo is first in line! He's the more outgoing of two brothers and has quickly formed a special bond with his foster mom. He's a little love bug who wants nothing more than to be close to someone who loves him. But with good food, gentle care, and plenty of affection, Gumbo is beginning to blossom! He's making encouraging progress with potty training and has already learned how to use the doggy door! Gumbo is discovering the joy of spending time outside, and one of his foster mom's favorite things is watching him run around the backyard doing happy little zoomies! Toys are still a mystery to him, but he's learning to enjoy treats, explore his surroundings, and soak up all the attention he can get. Gumbo isn't crate trained yet, and leash training will be another new adventure. He can also be quite vocal, whether he's alerting everyone to squirrels in the yard or letting his foster mom know he'd like some attention. Because he's become so attached to her, he sometimes whines when she leaves, although he does settle down after a while. His future family will need to be patient as he learns to feel secure and comfortable spending time on his own. Gumbo may be a good fit for a family with gentle, respectful children, although his interactions with children and cats haven't yet been evaluated. A home where someone has plenty of time for affection, consistency, and positive reinforcement would be wonderful for him. Gumbo doesn't need a perfect home. He needs a loving one where he can continue learning, growing, and discovering all the wonderful things he's been missing. In return, you'll have a devoted little companion with a whole lot of love to give!  Could Gumbo be your new favorite cuddle buddy? ##2859968##

Story
Meet Broggy & Zenku! Broggy and Zenku are adorable 1-year-old brothers who are new to rescue and just beginning their journey toward finding forever homes. These handsome boys are a mix of Maltese, Poodle, and Shih Tzu, bringing together three favorite little-dog breeds! They are still settling into their new surroundings, and their personalities are beginning to emerge as they get comfortable with rescue life. We'll share more about their temperaments, likes, and what they're looking for in a home as we get to know them better. For now, these two brothers are ready for a fresh start and the chance to find families who will give them the love, patience, and security every dog deserves. Stay tuned as we learn more about Broggy and Zenku! Please apply at tzuzoorescue.com if you are interested in adopting from Tzu Zoo Rescue. More information available by contacting tzrinquiries@tzuzoorescue.com. [NOTE: We are a rescue NOT a shelter, meaning WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY THAT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC. Typically, an application and home visit (both of which are required for adoption) MUST be completed, BEFORE a potential adopter will be introduced to one of our pets, in order to first determine that our basic adoption requirements are met, prior to introductions being made. We also utilize personal reference and vet checks (to ensure that any pets already in the potential adoptive home are current on vaccines, heart worm prevention and sterilized) in our adoption process, all of which is intended to ensure that the best match, between pet and people, is made. The adoption fee is based on on the dog's age.

Story
First and foremost, I am ONLY rehoming her due to my health issues. She is the SWEETEST dog EVER. Sophie is a GREAT alert dog, only really barks if somebody is too close to the door. She loves laying on pillows, getting massages and belly rubs. She does High 5 and give hugs. Sophie is 10 years old but life expectancy for a Morkie (half Yorkie and half Maltese= Morkie) is 17 to 25 years. She is in great health, has great teeth, clean, clean ears. Sophie is not house broken but if you have a house with a SECURE back yard and take her out WITH YOU, no worries. I put her in diapers, just cheap baby diapers size 2 in the house, she's fine. Occasionally I glove up and shampoo her bootie. Sophie is wonderful with kids but she is scared of all other animals. She would be best to be the only pet. Serious inquiries only.

Story
1 year old terrier mix boy looking for his forever home. Hansel has spent his first year of life living mostly outside, but you could have fooled me. He's doing great after only 2 days at my house. Not one accident in the house and learning to use the dog door. He's as sweet as can be and loves people. He has transitioned very well into my busy house with other dogs, cats, and kids. I would say another dog friend is a must for him. Helps with his confidence and learning routines." ✅️ current on vaccines ✅️ heartworm negative ✅️ neuter surgery pending ✅️ cat, dog and kid friendly ✅️ rocking potty training ✅️ sleeping quietly through the night in crate Don't wait! He will get scooped up quick. Apply TODAY! Www.scdrm.com/adopt
