Story
Sparky came to us with a broken front leg. Due to the location of the fracture and the time it had been since his injury, repairing it via surgery would have been very difficult and possibly not successful.  Because of this, amputation was recommended...however the surgeon also mentioned just leaving it as-is since he was walking on it and it didn't seem to affect his mobility.  There is a good likelihood that he will develop arthritis at some point however.  So his adopters would need to be able to manage that if/when it happens. Here is what his fostermom has to say about this cutie: Sparky is a spunky, handsome, brown and white, estimated DOB 3/2023, 14-pound Shih Tzu who has the personality of a goofy teddy bear. He is a talkative guy and likes his opinions to be known. He has shown to be good with adults and children over 5. He gets along with other friendly dogs, but loves to pester the cats in his foster home. So a forever home without cats would suit him best. He’s doing great as far as potty training goes, but will need scheduled back yard potty breaks to get him into the routine in his new home. He came into the rescue with an injured left leg and it is possible he will need medical care in the future (all information will be given to potential adopters). Long walks are not really his thing, but he would love to stroll and sniff around his own fenced yard. Apartments would not be a good fit for him due to his talkative nature. ?

Story
Brownie is a very sweet dog, he gets a long well with everyone he’s interacted with. He’s very cuddly and energetic. Due to life getting busy we feel that we cannot properly care for him anymore and so we think it’d be better for him if we rehome him.

Story
(Transport trip set for 5/11/24 to NorCal and OR. Transport costs will be divided between all adopting families. We would love to add Marley to our trip!) Meet Marley! He is a 2 1/2 year old purebred shih tzu. He weighs 11.5 lbs and yes, he is at a healthy weight and full grown. He is neutered, microchipped, current on all vaccines, had a recent nail trim, ear cleaning, dental cleaning, and wellness exam with our vet whome has cleared him to find a home all his own. He is crate trained; and currently sleeps in the crate at night peacefully. He is house trained and will go outside every couple hours when asked to if he needs to. He is leash trained; and loves walks around the neighborhood. He loves to take it all in when he goes for walks; and will have you enjoying the small things by watching how much he lights up over a flower, or even a butterfly 🦋 He is wonderful with all dogs, big or small. He wants to be everyone's friend. He was even introduced to cats and didn't mind them one bit. He is wonderful with men, women, and children alike. He is NOT a barker, but will "talk to you," or whimper when he needs something such as to go outside to potty. He is an overall very easy going, laid back, happy dog content just being in the presence of his human ☺️ He is not high maintenance whatsoever; and will simply nap 😴 if you are busy doing other things, or find something to entertain himself while he waits for you to finish whatever it may be keeping you from him! He loves to play, but equally loves to be in your lap and will choose lap time over play time in a heartbeat. He is your true companion dog. Loves road trips, so if you are looking to vacation with your little friend he will make the absolute best friend 😊 He loves his spa day too with the groomer too! Don't pass up this sweet, kind hearted, loving, affectionate, serene tempered, beautiful little guy!!! Adoption fee along with its breakdown is on our website at breadoflifek9refuge.org under his listing. It covers all vetting mentioned above (neuter, vaccines, microchip/registration, nail trim, ear cleaning, dental cleaning, exam with our vet, time and care since with us, and his training. All that's left to do is simply take over loving him ❤️
