Story
Clyde is a sweet 10 year old Shih Tzu.boy who lost his home because after having him 10 years, his owners decided he is not good around their kids. He did not deserve to be given up on just because he is aging. Additionally they allowed him to become very overweight which could definitely contribute to his sometimes grumpy mood. We have not observed any bad behavior here at the rescue. He is really a nice dog, easy to have around and not at all demanding. He is in good health, fully vetted and ready for a new home and a Weight Watchers membership. It is imperative that his new Adopter keeps him on a diet to help him reduce his weight. He's clearly not comfortable how he is. He would love the yard to run around in as well as to bask in the sun. He may need some forced walking to help with retrieving the waistline he once enjoyed. according to his former owners, Clyde is housetrained. Clyde is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Clydes's Adoption fee is $275 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue!

Story
Wrigley is an adorable five-year-old male Shih Tzu. He is very loyal and devoted to his person. He is generally well behaved, but would do best with either no other dogs or possibly a female dog. He gets a little bit possessive sometimes as he is very devoted to his master. He is very obedient and knows basic command commands. He does need an owner with some dog experience and a fairly firm hand. He will try to take advantage in some situations. Mainly with being protective of his owner, when other people come into the house. He is fairly well house trained, but will need a little tuning up. He is a personal favorite of mine, the rescue owner. Wrigley is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Wrigley’s adoption fee is $400 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.

Story
Lincoln is a super friendly Gold and white Shih Tzu boy and is about 2 years old. He walks well on a leash and is eager to please but he still needs to learn most of the basic commands. He’s excellent to groom and rides well in a car. He gets along with all of the other dogs and has the typical easygoing temperament a Shih Tzu is best known for. He loves everyone he meets and loves to lounge around between meals and playtime. He gives great kisses and seeks attention and affection. Lincoln weighs 19 lbs but could stand to lose a little weight. I’m Like many of our rescue dogs, we are not sure how well housetrained Lincoln is. But with gentle persuasion, some consistency, structure and praise he should be easy to train. Lincoln is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Lincoln’s adoption fee is $400 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.

Story
Henry is an adorable and handsome Grey and white Shih Tzu boy who was found wandering on the streets of Phoenix and had been attacked by another dog or possibly a coyote. His severe matting may have saved his life as he had 3-4 fairly serious puncture wounds but they could have been so much worse if the severe mats had not prevented teeth from penetrating his coat in most areas. Henry avoids confrontation with other dogs when he can and wants to lead a peaceful life. He loves toys and play and seems to get along with all people. He is untested with small children. He has a lovely (mellow) Shih Tzu temperament that we all know and love. His dew claws have been removed which makes me think he may have originated from a pet store but he was not microchipped. Wherever he came from he’s a true gem. He sleeps on a soft office chair next to my bed at night. He may prefer to sleep on the bed, but my dogs do not want to allow him to and he does not want to push it. He will make a lovely pet for almost any family. He’s approximately four years old and weighs about 14 pounds. Like many of our rescue dogs, we are not sure how well housetrained Henry is. But with gentle persuasion, some consistency, structure and praise he should be easy to train. Henry is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Henry’s adoption fee is $400 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.

Story
Meet Laverne! Laverne was found matted and dirty. The lady holding her decided she didn't want to do that anymore and was going to let her loose! WHAT! One of our volunteers zipped over to her house and picked her and her buddy Lenny up. We are pretty sure Laverne was used for breeding. Poor girl was a hot mess! Laverne is all cleaned up and has had her medical done. She still had baby teeth that we pulled and an umbilical hernia that was fixed. Her hair is really short. She had to be shaved since she was so matted. She will need regular grooming, once her hair grows out. She is very sweet but a little shy at first. She is looking for a nice quiet home with lots of cuddle time. Laverne is spayed , UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and 4DX (tick/heartworm test) negative. Laverne is approximately 5 years old and weighs 8 pounds. To meet Laverne, please fill out the application https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAWP/Dog
