Story
HAPPY PLAY IS HER GAME  DOB 1/1/24, weight 8 lb. Hey there, everyone! Eva is my name, and “happy play” is my game. I'm an outgoing, affectionate, and friendly white Shih Tzu mix gal who loves to snuggle. Some dogs live to dig holes and chase cats, but Shih Tzus’ idea of fun is sitting in your lap and acting adorable as you watch TV. Imagine yourself with me, looking up to you with my innocent eyes, adorable under-bite, and sweet expression. Wherever we Shih Tzus go, giggles and mischief follow. Playful and energetic, I'm a lively charmer, and being cute is a way of life for me. I love everyone – kids, cats, and other small dogs -- and just want to be loved back. I'd probably get along great with well-behaved children who know enough to handle small dogs carefully. I’d make a great pet if you live in an apartment or lack a big backyard because we Shih Tzus require minimal exercise. I was abandoned in my kennel, which was full of my toys, on my Foster Mom’s driveway. Who would do that to a sweet, innocent girl like me unless they couldn’t afford to care for me in the current inflationary financial conditions? Although it hurt me that I wasn’t treated like a member of the family, Foster Mom promises to pick out the perfect home for me from the many applicants who will want me. Since I’m house-trained and kennel-trained, I hope you'll arrange to meet me today. I make friends easily and promise to be a devoted family member if you choose to take me home! HOPE ID D25-0102-001 If you are interested in Eva and would like to fill out a Dog Adoption Application, please go to: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php .

Story
***COURTESY POST*** Meet Harold! Harold is a 3-year-old Chow/Shih Tzu mix and weighs about 25 pounds. He's a little shy at first, but once he comes around, WATCH OUT... he's a total love bug! Harold loves playing with his other 4-legged foster friends and playing "Chase me around the house while I carry your laundry in my mouth," with his foster mom. He is crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands. Because of his uncertainty around humans, Harold would not be suitable for a home with children under the age of 12. He absolutely loves toys and totes them about so everyone can admire his good fortune. Harold's hobbies include plowing through sticker bushes, giving hugs, car trips, and cheese tastings. He dislikes all green foods and Taylor Swift. If you are interested in adopting Harold, please contact the Westie & Scottie Rescue Houston via email: westiehouston@gmail.com

Story
Prescott’s favorite thing to do is break into the toy box and pick a new toy for the hour, and he does not discriminate — he loves all toys and he loves to play! His second favorite thing to do is eat, and you can convince him to do anything with a treat. He is learning how to be a lap dog and loves hanging out on the couch with you during downtime, and is eager to meet new people. He gets along great with other dogs and cats, and is very curious about birds. Baths are his least favorite thing, but he is a very tolerant good boy for them (which is good because he will probably need them long term for his allergies). He’s kennel trained and will sleep through the night without an accident in his kennel. He enjoys letting you know when someone is at the front door, like a tough guy should. He very rarely has accidents, but will ask to go outside and is working hard at being fully house trained. He’s been tested with older children (10 years) and does well. Prescott is a male Shih Tzu with an estimated date of birth of 3/1/2023. He weighs 12.4 lbs.
