Story
We have a transport leaving the end of March 2026 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Allie to our trip for the right family 😊 Meet Allie 💗 Soft. Sweet. Quietly overflowing with love. Allie is the gentle heartbeat in a tiny 4.6-lb body. She looks just like a miniature Shih Tzu,... soft eyes, delicate features, and a calm presence that feels like home. She is beautifully tempered, just like her sister, but carries herself with a quieter sweetness. Meeting new people, she may be a little shy at first. But once her heart opens to you, the love waiting inside comes pouring out in the most beautiful way. She bonds deeply. She snuggles fully. She gives kisses like they are precious gifts. Allie loves playtime, loves to run around and be her happy self, and equally loves curling up close for snuggles. She is pad trained and crate trained, and happily sleeps in her crate or beside you if invited. Because of her tiny size, she is always accompanied outside for potty time. Leash training will be newer to her as well, but she will adjust beautifully with gentle guidance. She sheds lightly (even less than Penny), and with regular grooming her coat remains very manageable. She is wonderful at the groomer and enjoys being pampered. She is great with other dogs and cats alike and truly loves everyone, even if she takes a moment to warm up. Her previous owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her girls due to leaving for service training out of state and wanted them to know the same depth of love she always gave them. Allie deserves that continuation of devotion. She does not need to be adopted with her sister, though they complement each other beautifully if someone desires a pair. Allie is ready to become someone’s soft little shadow, lap baby, and devoted princess. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/allie-2 This covers her spay, vaccines, microchip and registration, dental cleaning and baby tooth extractions (retained baby teeth removed), full veterinary exam, grooming, and training while in our care. Birthday: 2/20/25

Story
THE DOG BELOW IS A COURTESY LISTING. THE DOG IS NOT IN OUR CARE. This dog is being rehomed by their owner. Little Paws Doggie Rescue has not met or evaluated the dog and relays information supplied by the source without checking accuracy or veracity. We do not warrant health, temperament, or suitability and are not a party to any adoption. All inquiries, screening, fees, and contracts must go through it's owner. Interested parties must conduct their own due diligence to determine if this dog is a suitable adoption for their situation. Meet Skyler! 🐾 This handsome Shih Tzu mix is ready to charm his way into your heart and home! ✨ With his gorgeous salt-and-pepper coat, soulful eyes, and that happy little tongue that just loves to say hello, Skyler is the kind of dog who wins over everyone he meets — and we do mean everyone. He's a fan favorite at the vet's office, beloved by strangers, and quite simply impossible not to adore! About Skyler: 🧊 A Cool Boy — Skyler knows what he likes, and in the summer, that means ice cubes in his water. Simple pleasures, maximum joy! 🚶 A Walking Buddy in the Making — At 8 years old and a little fluffy around the middle, Skyler would absolutely love a daily walking companion to help him slim down from 24 lbs to his ideal 20 lbs. He'll reward you with enthusiasm, loyalty, and that irresistible happy face every single time! 🚪 An Adventurous Spirit — Skyler loves life and gets a little too excited about the great outdoors, so a watchful eye at the front door is a must. He'd do great with some basic training to help him channel that enthusiasm! 🏠 A Homebody at Heart — Skyler is house trained, good with a doggie door, and thrives in a calm, loving environment where he is the center of attention. What to Know: Skyler is friendly with strangers and does well with people. He is best suited to a home without other dogs, as he prefers to be the one and only. He may have some separation anxiety, so an adopter who is home regularly or can ease him into alone time gradually would be ideal. The Details: ✅ Male, neutered, approximately 8 years old ✅ Up to date on shots ✅ Heartworm negative, on Trifexis ✅ Microchipped ✅ House trained & doggie door friendly ✅ Freshly groomed 💰 Adoption fee: $200 To adopt Skyler, contact his owner, Jan directly: 📧 19168895204@tmomail.net

Meet Chip he is up for adoption He is extremely sweet, gentle & very sensitive 🐾♥️ He was rescued after his family could no longer keep him. He does well with small female dogs and submissive males that won’t challenge him… he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body but he was being attacked in his last home by the other small male so he understandably he is scared of males that will challenge him he has done perfectly fine in my pack since all are very friendly. He is good with kids and doesn’t mind cats but will bark at them if he’s crated in fact it’s the only time he does bark lol. He is crate trained and never poops in the house he wears a belly band just to help with potty training and has been doing excellent.

Story
✨ Meet Sir Tashi - the sweetest little gentleman you'll ever know! ✨Sir Tashi is a 15-lb Shih Tzu, approximately 3 years old, with a heart as soft as his cuddles. He's playful, affectionate, and truly an all-around good boy with so much love to give.✔️ Doing great with potty training following other dogs through dog door. ✔️ Crate trained (sleeps in crate at night)✔️ Walks beautifully on leash✔️ Loves toys, playtime, and his foster siblings✔️ World-class cuddle bugSir Tashi also has a silly, mischievous side &#194&#151 he's a sock, shoe, and 'anything small enough to grab' thief 😄. He doesn't chew things up, but he will happily steal items to parade around or play with them. It's more funny than destructive, but it does mean keeping small items picked up.Sir Tashi is still learning and will need continued training. Like many Shih Tzus, he can be a bit stubborn, especially when it comes to house manners. He is making progress, but this breed does best with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Short, fun training sessions work best for basic commands, and adopters should expect a learning curve &#194&#151 particularly with housebreaking.Sir Tashi came into rescue alongside his Shih Tzu brother, Mister Tenzi (check k9ppr.org for his profile). While they are no longer fostered together and Sir Tashi will absolutely thrive independently, adopters interested in both brothers will receive a package adoption discount.💔 Important note: These boys were previously kept outdoors and neglected. Because of that, they will need a patient, understanding home committed to continuing basic manners and reinforcing potty habits as they settle into a new environment.Sir Tashi (or the two of them together!) would make a wonderful addition to a loving, committed family.Could that family be yours?⸻🐾 Adoption Requirements &#194&#149 Another dog required &#194&#149 Gentle children 10+ &#194&#149 Temperature controlled home- (Shih Tzus are prone to overheating) &#194&#149 Short walks only &#194&#149 Professional grooming every 6 weeks (not a low-maintenance breed)A detailed adoption application is required.Only applications that clearly meet the criteria and provide meaningful information will be considered. At K9 Paw Print Rescue, we believe every dog is a precious soul deserving of a home that truly fits them.👉 Apply at: www.k9ppr.orgFebruary 28, 2026, 6:53 pm

Story
What's not to love about Maxine? Maxine is estimated to be around 7 months old, and she is an adorable girl with the cutest personality. She can be bashful at times, but once she settles in, she is a playful and goofy puppy who loves to have fun. Maxine currently weighs about 10lbs and we think she will grow a little and be around 13lbs when fully grown. Maxine came to us from a local shelter. She and her two sisters were found as strays and were never claimed by a family. One of her sisters was adopted, and the other is safe with another rescue. It's now this sweet girl's turn to get her fresh start with her fur-ever family! Maxine came to us suffering from kennel cough, but she is now all better and ready to go! She has blossomed in foster care and has turned into a spunky and fun girl. She loves to race around the backyard and is slowly learning how to do normal dog things. She can still be unsure in new places and when meeting new people, but we know that with a little help from her family, she will grow up to be an amazing companion. Maxine is still learning all of her basic manners, so she will need a family dedicated to helping her learn. Maxine loves other dogs and has become BFFs with one of the younger dogs in her foster home. She would love another dog to play with in her new home, but she could also do well as an only dog with frequent opportunities to socialize with dog friends. We haven't seen Maxine around cats, but we think she may do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction and proper supervision. Maxine has been doing great living with kids and could be a wonderful addition to a family with respectful kids 7 years and older. Maxine is still working on her housetraining, so her new family will need to be patient with her and be consistent with her training to help her succeed. She hasn't spent too much time alone since her foster mom works from home, so she would do best with a family that can slowly acclimate her to being left alone. Maxine is such a darling girl, and she can't wait to be your new best friend! If she sounds like the pup you need in your life, submit an application today!   Maxine's adoption fee is $450.   Apply to adopt here!  https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/   Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org)  It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogs@yolospca.org. For more general questions, please see our website at www.yolospca.org. March 6, 2026, 2:06 am
