Story

Maxwell is a 2-year-old, 15 lb Shih Tzu mix with a sweet and gentle soul. He can be a little shy when first meeting someone, but he warms up quickly—especially when yummy treats are involved! Maxwell came to us terribly matted and, sadly, had become somewhat of an afterthought in his previous home. Those days are behind him now. He’s sporting a fresh new haircut, getting all the love and care he deserves, and looking forward to finding an amazing forever family of his own. Maxwell would thrive in a quieter, lower-traffic home without a lot of people coming and going, where he can take his time settling in and getting comfortable. Once he feels safe, we think his sweet personality will really begin to shine. He is dog friendly and would love a patient, loving family who will give him the security and companionship he’s been missing. Now all Maxwell needs is someone to make him a priority—and love him forever. Adoption fee is $500 and includes his neuter, registered microchip, vaccines current, deworming, and flea treatment.

Story

Meet Kenya! Kenya is a beautiful 6 year old Shih Tzu mix who weighs about 19 pounds. She is a sweet, laid back girl with an easygoing and independent personality. Kenya will happily greet you when you come home and loves getting affection from her people, but she is also perfectly content relaxing in her own cozy spot. Her favorite things include leisurely walks, tummy rubs, quiet time with her family, and simply enjoying the comforts of home. Kenya is leash trained, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. She does well with other dogs, cats, and children and would be comfortable in an apartment or a house. She has a calm nature and does not need constant attention or entertainment to be happy. Kenya enjoys companionship but is also secure enough to appreciate her own space, making her a nice balance of affectionate and independent. Kenya could be a wonderful fit for a single person, couple, or family looking for a gentle companion with a relaxed approach to life. If your idea of a great companion is a sweet dog who will enjoy a stroll with you and then happily settle in for a cozy evening at home, Kenya would love to meet you.
