Story
Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogIf 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 Rory, and I am a beautiful Shih Tzu boy who is 6 years old, and I weigh 11 pounds. I am a bit afraid of this big, new world and my eyesight isn't great, so a socialized sibling to help me learn the ropes would be ideal. I like to play with toys, snuggle in bed with the other dogs in my foster home, and follow my humans everywhere. I do have dry eye, so I need drops often, but I am an angel and don't mind them being given to me. A home visit is required with all family members present. If you have been waiting for a Shih Tzu to love, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Rory 071523-16  December 2, 2023, 7:14 pm

Story
Hi my name is Mr Jett! I came to the rescue when my family fell on hard times and had to surrender me. Boy I love people… and snuggles and playtime. I originally was only around small breed dogs so it’s taken time to understand these massive tall guys are friends, but I’m ok with them now. I love to play, I love to run zoomies, and when I have energetically breezed my way around the house, jump up for snuggles on the couch. I am altered, vaccinated and microchipped

Story
PWRESCUE.ORG **PHOENIX METRO AREA ONLY** Meet Ozzie (male) & Oreo (female), an 8-1/2-year-old senior pair of sweet, shy souls.  Ozzie is a Havanese mix and Oreo is a Shih Tzu mix.  In their golden years, Ozzie & Oreo are seeking a peaceful sanctuary, a home with low activity where they can retire. They will do best as the only dogs in the home so they can get all of the attention! Because they prefer a quiet oasis, a home without children would also be the best for them.  Ozzie & Oreo may be seniors, but they still have so much love to give. Adopting them means providing a haven for their twilight years and experiencing the unique joy of their loving companionship. They are up to date on vaccinations, neutered/spayed, and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $350.00 for the pair. If you are interested in these sweethearts, please visit our website at: https://pwrescue.org and click on the "Adopt" button to complete an application.   Pathways Home Animal Rescue December 1, 2023, 4:17 pm

Story
Copper is a beautiful Shih Tzu boy and is 11 1/2 years old. He was sadly given up by his owners who had him since he was a small puppy. They had a baby and no longer had time or room for a dog they once treasured. Copper is sweet and gentle. He is happily in a foster home until he finds his forever home. He walks well on a leash and is house trained. Copper is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Copper's adoption fee is $225 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!
