Story

I'm a 1½-year-old Shih-Poo weighing about 8 pounds, and I'm always ready to brighten your day with my happy personality! I absolutely love people and thrive on attention. If you're looking for a little shadow who wants to be loved, snuggled, and included in everything you do, I'm your girl. I'm incredibly sweet, affectionate, and my tail is almost always wagging. I get along great with other dogs and cats, and l'a really love a home with another playful pup. I'm a social butterfly! I'd be happiest with another playtul pup to wrestle, zoom around, and share all of life's adventures with. A furry best friend helps keep me from inventing my own entertainment, and life is simply more fun when you have someone to share it with! One of my favorite things has been helping my best friend, Taos, come out of her shell. Watching her gain confidence has been so rewarding, and while it's not a requirement, my biggest wish would be for us to find a forever home together. ##2638530##

Story

Meet Sadie a stunning tiny 15 pound Shug (Shih Tzu / Pug Mix?) who has already overcome more in her young life than most dogs ever will. Rescued from a backyard breeder, Sadie found herself at the shelter fighting for her life. She was scared of her surroundings and sounds which is quite overwhelming for point size baby and sadly placed on the euthanasia list. Just hours from the unthinkable, our rescue pulled her to safety. Today she is glowing with life. Sadie is the definition of resilient beauty. Her sleek Golden tan coat and intelligent, soulful eyes turn heads everywhere she goes. She is truly beautiful but her real magic is on the inside: this girl has the gentlest, most humble spirit you will ever meet. She is wonderful with children, adults, and other dogs, always greeting everyone with a soft tail wag and a sweet lean. She is playful and lights up on adventures, yet the moment the day winds down she becomes the worlds best cuddle bug, happily curling up next to you like she has always belonged there. Sadie is affectionate, eager to please, and has that perfect blend of soft energy and calm that makes her an ideal companion for almost any home. After everything she has been through, she deserves the world and all she wants in return is a family to love her forever. Sadie is fully healthy, spayed, vaccinated, and ready to steal your heart (and probably a few treats). Could you be her happy ending? ?
