Meet Jammies, the sweetest little terrier you'll ever meet. This gentle senior pup is happiest when he's curled up beside someone who loves him. Friendly with everyone he meets, Jammies adores quiet company, warm laps, and sunny windowsills.He's the kind of companion who will trot over for a cuddle, wag his tail just to say hello, and then nestle in for a cozy nap. If you're looking for a loyal friend who will fill your home with warmth (and probably claim your comfiest blanket), Jammies is your boy. Primary Color: Cream Weight: 19.6 Age: 12yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
Although he may look like Chewbacca’s smaller cousin or a sentient haystack, Strength is a mutt of many flavors – we think some shih tzu, maybe some yorkie (honestly maybe a little Chewy, who knows?). Strength’s hair is so big because it has to contain all of his charisma, because this little guy is campaigning to be the Mayor of Muttville. He indiscriminately befriends all he encounters, whether they be human or canine, and it’s hard to resist tangling your hands in his gorgeous blonde locks. We suspect that, with a good groom, Strength may look like a completely different dog, but that’s all the better – you can have two dogs for the price of one! And who doesn’t need a little more Strength? Here's some notes from his foster: Strength is a very sweet boy who wants to be near you and loves getting scritches. He’s got a surprising amount of energy! He loves his walks. On some walks he’s eager and out in front for over a mile at a brisk pace, other walks he’d rather just sniff all the things. Most of the day he’s happy to snooze near you in his bed. He’s good with people and dogs. He gets along great with our young kitty. He does ok being left alone - he’ll bark for a few minutes, but then he settles down. Rides fine in car.

Story
Daily life got you down? Everything feeling mediocre and lackluster? Sounds like you just need a little Inspiration! Although this shih tzu mix might look like a little disheveled (in fact, he vaguely resembles the burst of inspiration as depicted on a character sheet), he’s waiting to lead you in the right direction, even if not in the way you anticipated. Inspiration may not see or hear too well, but that’s okay! In fact, it’s better – he doesn’t have any mundanities distracting him from his wondrous imagination. Inspiration is a bit of a slowpoke (sometimes Inspiration doesn’t so much as strike as waddle leisurely), but that’s because he likes to stop and smell the roses. Do you need a little Inspiration in your life? Here are some notes from his foster: Inspiration is a sweet boy and has been a great houseguest. He gets along fine with other dogs and people/children. He is extremely food motivated! He also does okay being left alone. He enjoys a good Snooze. Loves going out for walks. He's house trained! All around he is happy being cozy and loved.

Story
Meet Oil Paint, the masterpiece of a senior pup who’s ready to add color, joy, and a whole lot of snuggles to your life! Despite being blind, this little artist refuses to stay inside the lines; he explores with confidence, enthusiasm, and zero apologies. This boy lights up (and powers up!) the moment he feels human affection. Snuggles turn him into a wiggle-powered rocket of happiness, and he’ll happily soak up every pet, cuddle, and warm lap available. With his big personality and adventurous spirit, Oil Paint is proof that you don’t need sight to see the beauty in life… you just need heart (and he has plenty of that)! If you’re looking for a spirited, snuggle-obsessed senior who’s ready to paint your days with joy, this vibrant little guy is your perfect work of art.

Sweet Pea is a 13 year old Shih Tzu. My 95 year old friend is no longer able to care for her. She has been a wonderful companion and a comfort for him living alone all these years. She still acts like a poppy some times. Great alarm dog for door bell visitors. Most of the time she is quiet and gentle. She is healthy had all her shots and has been loving care for. We hope to find her a loving home to a caring family .
