Story
Meet Bear – 12 Pounds of Pure Sass in a Fur Coat! Looking for a pint-sized tyrant with a heart of gold and the vocal cords of a banshee? Meet Bear, a one-person dog with big opinions and an even bigger attitude. Bear isn’t just a dog—he’s a lap-activated siren. If he’s not in your lap, he will let the heavens know. And don’t let his size fool you—Bear firmly believes he’s a Great Dane trapped in a shih tzu’s body and will take on dogs 10 times his size with the confidence of a canine gladiator. Warning labels include: Will bark until the spirits answer back Thinks scissors are weapons of mass destruction Believes he is the emperor of the living room (and he is right) Doesn’t like being corrected. He will file a complaint (loudly). But if you’re the chosen one—his person—you’ll have a fiercely loyal, hilariously dramatic, and ridiculously cuddly companion for life. If you're into tiny tyrants with a Napoleon complex and a heart of (somewhat prickly) gold, Bear is your guy. Est DOB: Oct 2024 * Est weight: 12#December 3, 2025, 11:54 pm

Meet Edie — The Teeniest Lap-Loving Princess! At just 5 pounds, Edie is a tiny Shih Tzu with an oversized heart. If you’ve ever dreamed of a true lap dog, look no further—Edie’s absolute favorite place in the whole world is snuggled right in her human’s lap, snoozing the day away. She’s so petite you might forget she’s there… until you feel that gentle little sigh of contentment. Edie isn’t a fan of chilly weather, but she makes up for it by loving to dress up—sweaters, jackets, you name it. And when she’s warm and cozy, she treats her foster family to the cutest prance around the house, complete with an occasional happy dance that melts hearts on the spot. This tiny sweetheart gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats of all sizes—most are bigger than her anyway! She knows basic commands like sit and shake, and she’s very close to being fully potty trained. Edie is gentle, joyful, affectionate, and ready for a forever home where she can be cherished for the little gem she is. If you're looking for a snuggly companion with a dash of diva charm, Edie is your girl. Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com

Story
Bishop looks like he’s been personally offended by every major event of the last 20 years… but don’t be fooled. Behind that legendary resting b** face** lives a marshmallow with legs. This 8-year-old Shih Tzu–Terrier mix has an underbite adorable enough to stop traffic and a personality that’s pure sugar. He’s low-key, cuddly, polite in the house, and gets along great with other dogs. Basically, he’s the perfect little companion wrapped in a face that says, “I’m not mad… this is just my default setting.” If you want a loyal buddy who looks grumpy but loves fiercely, Bishop is ready to pack his tiny emotional-support suitcase and come home.

Story
I adopted Little Bit almost 10 years ago! My parents are retired so I decided to adopt her as an emotional support animal for them. She’s such a great dog and loves to play with her stuff animals and lay around! My mother has recently started to have problems with her allergies out of the blue and her doctor told her it may be because of pet dander, so we’ve decided to put Little Bit up for adoption which really breaks our hearts. We’re going to miss her so much, but it’s time to find her a new family and we hope you will love Little Bit as much as we do!

Story
Lucy is a 10-year-old female ShiChi (ShihTzu/Chinuahua) mix who has already been spayed.  She was turned in by her owner's family after her owner passed away.  Lucy is understandably confused about being in a shelter.  She has a long coat that is white with brown markings; and she is a very pretty girl.  Lucy only weighs10-12 pounds so she is a small dog.  She is good with small dogs, loves men, and loves car rides.  We don't think she would do well in a home with children because she doesn't like sudden movements or loud noises.  Lucy has been a bit 'nippy' with some of our staff but we believe it is because she is just so afraid in her new surroundings.  We think Lucy would make an excellent companion for an elderly adopter.  She is going to bond quickly with whoever shows her kindness and love.  This is a very loving little dog who has just been through a lot in the last few weeks.Dog/puppy adoption fees are $120.  Cat/kitten adoption fees are $75.  All pets will be spayed/neutered before adoption; or you will be given a discount spay/neuter certificate to be used at participating vet clinics to help with the cost of spay/neuter.  Our adoption fees cover a microchip, microchip registration, deworming, vaccinations (as age and law requires), and a courtesy vet exam at participating offices. Unless otherwise indicated under 'special needs' our dogs have screened heart worm negative.  December 11, 2025, 7:16 pm
