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.

Story
Snug as a bug in a rug! That's exactly who Eugene is: a 20lb snuggle bug who wants nothing more than a good rug to lie on. Like any 12-year-old Shih Tzu, all this sweet guy wants is a forever companion to tell him every day how perfect he is. He may not hear compliments very well, but he sees the love in your eyes and reflects it right back. Eugene is so ready to impress you with his potty-training, but knows that it's a two-way street. If you can keep the promise of regular potty breaks, he can keep his promise of keeping potty time outside! This sweetheart absolutely loves food and treats... so much that he will bring his puppy dog eyes to you as soon as he realizes it's your meal time! But don't worry, he'll accept belly rubs and attention as an alternative. This easy-going man is simply so easy to love. Is your heart ready to be matched with his? Come meet Eugene and fall head over paws in love!

Story
Lil Husker is a loving and loyal 10-pound best friend who wants nothing more than to cuddle on your lap and spend his days lounging with you! After his owner died, this 7-year old cute-as-a-button healthy Shih Tzu was being fostered by the Skilled Care Facility where his owner lived before passing; however, the deceased owner's family has taken over the fostering to ensure Husker is being provided the best care possible - just as his former owner previously provided (veterinary and vaccination records are up-to-date and available). Husker suffered an accident shortly after his owner died, from which the little guy is fully recovered, but it cost Husker his front right leg (and prompted the fostering by the former owner's family). He loves attention and being with people; especially his people, which results in him being best as the only pet in the home. Husker is potty trained and loves going outside to soak up the sun, especially with his owner!

Story
If you ever wondered what a firecracker would look like in dog form, it would be Pippin. At 11 years old, this pup has the energy and sass of a dog half his age. And don’t bother telling him he’s only 9 pounds because he refuses to believe he’s smaller than a grizzly bear. He can get a little nervous walking on a leash with other dogs around, but why walk when you can play fetch? This little dude loves toys almost as much as he loves car rides, and he’s great with cats, which let’s be honest, is kind of amazing. He likes to be around people, so a home where he can hang out with his new family all the time would be the perfect place for this handsome pup. We all need a little shine in our lives. Adopt Pippin and you’ll never have a day without a dash of sparkle. Good with: people, car rides (he LOVES car rides), snacks, naps, toys, playing fetch Housetrained: Yes Breed: Papillon mix Size: 9.6 lbs Gender: Male
