Story
🏡 Who can give Fisher the soft retirement home he deserves? 🏡 At 14 years old and 13 pounds, Fisher has mastered the art of enjoying the good things in life. This sweet Shih Tzu loves cuddling, keeping an eye on the neighborhood from the window, and following his favorite person from room to room. Don't let his age fool you—he still has plenty of pep in his step and enjoys his walks! Fisher is potty trained, goes to the door when he needs to go out, walks nicely on leash, and is highly food motivated. He's good with dogs and kids, isn't barky, and his missing eye doesn't slow him down one bit. In fact, it just adds to his charm and gives him a little extra character. As a Shih Tzu, Fisher does have regular grooming needs to keep him looking and feeling his best, but he handles grooming like a champ and does very well for it. His ideal home would be one where someone is home more often than not. Fisher loves his people and wants to be close to them. He can get a little grumpy if he is with his person and another dog comes over to interrupt his cuddle time, but it is manageable and just part of his “little old man” charm. One thing Fisher is very sure about? Crates are not for him. Fortunately, he does just fine left out and prefers the freedom to nap wherever he pleases. If you're looking for a funny, loyal little shadow to share your couch, your daily routine, and your heart, Fisher may be exactly who you've been waiting for. ❤️ 🐾 Adoption Info: All of our animals are fully vetted, which includes spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccines, deworming, heartworm testing and treatment if necessary, current flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchipping prior to adoption. 👉 To start the adoption process, please fill out our application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/WAG/Dog Please note: The dog you’re applying for may already have a meet-and-greet scheduled or have been offered to another rescue within our network. If that happens, don’t worry—we’re always happy to help you find another great match. if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!)

Story
Meet Michelle, aka Shelly Shelly is a 20-pound Shih Tzu mix, about 2 years old, who is looking for a very special adopter — someone patient, gentle, and understanding. Shelly is truly a wonderful little girl, full of love and affection. Once she feels safe and knows she won’t be hurt, she becomes your shadow and will happily smother you with kisses. The hardest part for her is the beginning — those first few days when she may be timid and unsure. With time, kindness, and consistency, she blossoms beautifully. She does well with other dogs and cats and is also good with older children. Shelly would thrive best in a quiet, calm home with someone willing to listen to what we’ve learned about her and apply that guidance as they build trust and a bond. Shelly is absolutely amazing, and the person who gives her the chance she deserves will gain a deeply loyal, loving companion for life. A few important things to know: We are a foster-based rescue and do not have a facility. Dogs must be picked up in person in Bonifay, FL. We do not ship or transport dogs. A secure, fenced yard is required unless otherwise stated. All dogs are spayed/neutered, age-appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and started on flea/heartworm prevention. ##2607511##

Story
Meet Emma, a sweet Shih Tzu/Poodle mix weighing about 24 pounds and estimated to be 10 years old. She’s a quiet, chill little girl looking for a forever home where she can relax, cuddle, and simply enjoy life with her people.Emma is the type of dog who is happy just being near you. She loves belly rubs, enjoys lounging on the couch, and will also happily chill on the floor right beside you. When you come home, she’s always there to greet you at the door, and if you talk to her, her tail immediately starts wagging. Every now and then she’ll give a few sweet kisses too. She’s very easy on a leash and enjoys calm walks and sniffing around outside.She also absolutely loves car rides and makes the perfect little co-pilot for trips around town or long rides for a vacation. She does bark if the other dogs bark, and she enjoys watching squirrels and cats with the other dogs in the yard. Around the house, she’s mostly a laid-back couch potato who just wants a cozy place to relax and people to love.Emma does need rugs or traction on slippery floors because it can take her a moment to get her back feet underneath her on slick surfaces. Once she gets going, though, she does just fine.Emma has been through quite a bit medically and has handled it all like a champ. She previously had mammary tumor surgery that removed an entire mammary chain along with lymph nodes. She also had surgery to remove a large skin tag on her head and recently had a dental with extractions.She does have a heart murmur and takes Vetmedin twice daily to help manage it. Emma is fully vetted, medically cared for, and ready for her forever family.Emma also needs to lose quite a bit of weight, and we are already helping her work toward a healthier lifestyle.Despite everything she’s been through, Emma remains a loving, gentle companion who would be perfect for someone wanting a calm, affectionate dog to share quiet days, cozy evenings, and car rides with. ##2747842##
