Story
Meet Bentley! 11-year-old 25lb Shih Tzu Lhasa Apso Mix This 11-year-young fluff gentleman is a ball guy through and through. His avorite toy? The ball. His hobby? Fetch. His personality? Fetch. (We think you get it.) Bentley is happy, sweet, and a total rockstar with potty training and walks. He loves rubs, cozy sleep time, and car rides — just don’t expect him to be a lap dog. He prefers affection on his terms (very “I love you, but please respect my personal bubble, thank you”). He’s great with people, but dogs? Hard pass. Bentley would like to be your one and only. He’s also a bit of a foodie critic — kibble is not on his approved list — but ground turkey? Five stars. If you’re looking for a delightful, easy companion who’s playful, polite, and perfectly quirky, Bentley is your boy. Grab a ball and let the friendship begin.

Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogInformation Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children, and we do not know how they will react. Hi! My name is Oreo, and I am a beautiful Shih Tzu girl who was born 1/20/20, and I weigh 11 pounds. I am still a fearful of people, so would do best with a patient adopter as I learn to trust. I must have a fenced in yard and a small, calm sibling to play with and learn from.  If you have been waiting for a gorgeous Shih Tzu girl, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Oreo 092025-10  May 2, 2026, 12:33 pm

Story
Spots was adopted from a shelter just over 3 years ago. He was found lost without identification and estimated to have been 3 yo. He was house trained and knew basic commands but nobody claimed him. Spots has isolation anxiety and barks loudly and scratches at the wall and door when left without human company. My second child turned 19 and recently moved out. I no longer have someone to help assist watch Spots so I can shop and make appointments or even get out. He is calmer with a second dog but I cant leave him any extended lengths of time. He needs a home with someone who is readily home or has someone to watch him. He loves company and likes play dates. He loves the dog park and dog daycare. He is happy in a home with another dog. He loves being close to you and attention from strangers and other dogs, large and small. He travels across country on road trips well and goes on hikes keeping up with bigger dogs. Children of all ages feel naturaly comfortable with him.
