Story
Roxy currently plays with an older (9yrs) female Shih Tzu 5 days a week when I help care for my  daughter’s children. She likes playing fetch and tug-a-war. She is very affectionate. She likes to be held and her tummy rubbed. When I walk her I let her walk ahead of me and explore. I have been training her not to bark at other dogs when on the leash. She finds it difficult especially if the other dog barks first. Roxy is very loving and playful. She likes going for walks. She can pull on the leash. She also does not like being closely approached on the leash by dogs or people. When I have boarded her the caretakers like her. I have to tell her to stay when I go out the front door or she may run out the door. She can whine in the car wanting the window down. She responds to treats for good behavior (not barking at other dogs). She is very protective.

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.
