Story
***PLEASE READ BIO BEFORE APPLYING***   Ori is a 5-month-old pup who came into rescue due to ongoing issues with going to the bathroom on her own. After being evaluated at CARE, it was discovered that she had a structural issue blocking her rectum. She underwent multiple veterinary visits to stretch the rectum, and while that obstruction was addressed, she continued to struggle with passing her bowels and required additional vet visits to clean out her colon. The good news is that with her current routine, Ori has not needed a vet visit for this issue in over six weeks.   Ori is currently on medication three times a day to help soften her stool and is fed canned puppy food mixed with water. Her stool consistency can vary, and because of that she often needs butt baths and close monitoring to be sure she is using the bathroom regularly.   This is likely a lifelong condition for Ori. That said, she has a routine that works well for her, and she is living a happy, comfortable life.   Beyond her medical needs, Ori is such a sweetheart. She loves curling up on your chest, cuddling close, and falling asleep feeling safe. She likes fluffy stuffies she can shake around and enjoys rope toys for a good game of tug of war.   Ori will need a home with someone who is around most of the time to monitor her, give her medications, and keep her on her routine. She needs an adopter with patience, a big heart, and a sense of humor who is not afraid of doggy diapers. In return, she will give you endless love, trust, and snuggles.   ##2527683##

Story
Meet Pete! 6-year-old Shih Tzu | Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted with Penny Pete is a true cuddle bug and lap dog through and through. Within seconds of meeting someone, he’s ready to climb into a lap and stay there — affection is his love language. Sweet, gentle, and devoted, Pete thrives on closeness and connection. Though he’s the natural leader of the duo, Pete’s heart is all about Penny. Wherever he goes, she follows — and if she lags behind, Pete will patiently wait for her or even turn back to walk alongside her. Their bond is lifelong, having been together since birth, and they must be adopted together. Pete gets along with everyone and brings an easygoing, loving presence wherever he goes. He would be happiest in a home that enjoys constant companionship, shared couch time, and welcoming two hearts instead of one. Crate trained Potty trained Pete is ready to give endless love — especially when Penny is right by his side.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you. ##2604076##

Story
Meet Penny! 6-year-old Shih Tzu | Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted with Pete Penny has big black-cat type energy — super sweet, a little sassy, and fully confident in her own charm. She enjoys her alone time and will happily do her own thing… until she decides it’s time for attention, at which point you are officially her person. Her signature sassy waddle only adds to her diva appeal. Penny is very bonded to her brother, Pete. They’ve been together since birth and find comfort in being side by side — whether walking together or snuggled up for naps. Because of this deep bond, Penny must be adopted with Pete. She is mostly indifferent to other dogs and cats and truly doesn’t mind people, but she prefers to warm up at her own pace before becoming your loyal little bestie. Crate trained Potty trained Penny would thrive in a calm, loving home that appreciates her independent streak, her sweet moments, and the special bond she shares with Pete.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you. ##2604083##
