Story
Bejou is in foster and not viewable in Centre. Please put in an application if you are interestedBejou is a gentle little senior with a heart full of love and a strong desire to share it. Surrendered through no fault of her own, she's ready to start a new chapter with a family who will cherish her as much as she'll cherish them.This sweet girl thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. She isn't used to being left alone and truly blossoms when she has her person nearby. Bejou absolutely adores going for walks-she may be a senior, but she still enjoys getting out and exploring the world at her own pace. Due to her age, Bejou will need a person dedicated to her health to ensure she is staying in tip top condition!At home, Bejou is the ultimate cuddle bug. If it were up to her, she'd happily spend all 24 hours of the day curled up in your lap, soaking in affection. She can live with other small dogs, provided they are calm and respectful of her relaxed nature.If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will be your shadow and your snuggle partner, Bejou might just be the perfect match. Bejou is awaiting a dental procedure to help her feel back to 100% and will need a local family who can bring her in for that. Primary Color: Black Weight: 6.3 Age: 13yrs 6mths 2wks

Story
*Note, Currently, Choochoo is in Korea, but will arrive in Vancouver upon adoption.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click the link.BackgroundChoochoo was rescued from a puppy mill in Gimpo in December 2025. After her rescue, she moved to our partner boarding home where she now lives with other dogs. For the first time in her life, Choochoo is living in a safe place where she is cared for and surrounded by kindness.Personality and SocializationChoochoo is a sweet and loving girl with a medium energy level. She has the gentle and affectionate nature typical of a Shih Tzu. She is smart, affectionate, and friendly, and she truly enjoys being close to people. Choochoo is comfortable meeting new people and happily greets both men and women. She loves attention and enjoys every moment of being loved.With other dogs, Choochoo is very sweet and friendly. She feels most comfortable around small dogs and enjoys their company. Bigger dogs can make her a little nervous at first, but she keeps her gentle and easygoing nature. She truly likes other dogs and has a soft, kind personality. Choochoo has not yet been tested with cats or young children.BehaviourChoochoo rides very well in the car and usually rests quietly during the trip. She is calm and cooperative at the vet and handles baths and grooming without any trouble. She walks nicely on the leash and enjoys going out for walks. Choochoo does not show destructive behaviour and does not have separation anxiety. She is comfortable using pee pads indoors and also goes potty outside. She is a patient and gentle girl who continues to learn about the world around her.Health and DietChoochoo is healthy and has received full veterinary care. She is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and receives regular parasite prevention. She currently eats dry kibble twice a day and shows no signs of allergies.Ideal HomeChoochoo would do best in a calm and loving home where someone is around most of the time. Someone who works from home or a retired person would be a wonderful match for her. With patience and love, Choochoo will continue to gain confidence and enjoy life more each day. She is a gentle and loyal companion, and whoever adopts this sweet girl will be very lucky.*Note, Currently, Choochoo is in Korea, but will arrive in Vancouver upon adoption.For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please click the link.
