Story
Beatrice is a sweet, friendly dog who was found wandering alone along a highway. Because she was a stray, everything about her is a mystery. We don't know what breed mix she is, how she's like with other animals, if she's trained, or when she was born. We can only estimate, which we think about 3-4 years old and Shih Tzu mix. Despite arriving at the shelter dirty and matted, her cheerful, loving personality never faltered. She weighs 11 lbs under all that matted fur (we will be taking care of that, so if it needs to be cut short, it will grow back!) Shes an affectionate little girl who enjoys human companionship and greets everyone with a wagging tail. Beatrices gentle nature and positive spirit make her an absolute joy to be around. Beatrice will be ready for her forever home after her stray hold is up on 2/11 and she is spayed on 2/18. We are accepting applications for her now in case no one comes forward for her. Her $350 adoption fee helps cover her spay surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping; everything she needs to start her next chapter healthy and happy. If youre looking for a loyal, loving companion, Beatrice is ready to meet you! Apply on www.petsnpals.org! Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

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.orgJanuary 12, 2026, 12:43 am

Story
Meet Tenzi ✨Tenzi is simply gorgeous. While a fella shouldn't be judged on looks alone, it must be said&#194&#151he's quite the looker. With his soft, fluffy coat, beautiful markings, big dark eyes, and his tiny Van Dyke-style beard, he's undeniably dashing.Tenzi is a Shih Tzu, estimated to be 2-3 years old and about 14 lbs. He is gentle, playful, and affectionate, with a big love for toys&#194&#151especially balls. Blankets are his favorite treasures and will always be gathered into his bed. He enjoys both playtime and quiet cuddles on the couch.Sadly, Tenzi spent most of his life neglected and kept outdoors, which is especially inappropriate for this breed. Because of his past, he will need a patient, understanding home willing to help him continue learning basic manners and fully adjust to life as an indoor, pampered companion such a potty training which is going to take some time. ⸻🐾 Ideal Home & Requirements &#194&#149 Another dog required - he thrives with canine companionship &#194&#149 Gentle children ages 10+ &#194&#149 Indoor-only home with climate control (breed is prone to overheating) &#194&#149 Short walks only; not a high-endurance dog &#194&#149 Commitment to continued potty training & basic manners &#194&#149 Professional grooming every 6 weeks (regular brushing or kept clipped short)⸻🐶 Sibling NoteTenzi does have a Shih Tzu brother. While they are not being fostered together and it is not required that they be adopted as a pair, we would consider a slight adoption fee discount for an approved adopter interested in giving this duo a home together.⸻Tenzi's grooming was previously neglected, and his coat and ears required significant care when he arrived. This breed is not low maintenance, and adopters must be prepared to meet his ongoing grooming needs.With patience, structure, and love, Tenzi will make a devoted and affectionate companion who truly blossoms in the right home. 💛⸻📩 Adoption InfoA detailed adoption application is required. Only applications that clearly meet the criteria listed will be considered. Applications that do not reflect an understanding of Tenzi's needs or fail to share meaningful information about the applicant will not be considered.We believe every dog is a precious soul deserving of a home that truly fits them.👉 Apply at: www.k9ppr.orgJanuary 12, 2026, 12:43 am

Story
Nirai (means calm) and her 4 friends were all dumped in the streets of Fremont. They were all neglected dirty and very matted. She is more timid and nervous than the others. Needs more time to decompress and feel safe at her foster home. The shelter had her shaved down since she was severely matted. She is now relaxing at her foster home. More photos and info to come as she learns and feels safe. Update 1/20/26 from her foster home: She was scared for the first two days but now she is a completely different dog. She sleeps very well through the night in her crate is potty trained and already knows how to use the doggie door to go to the backyard for her business. She is good with other dogs though she doesn’t play with them much yet. She is also great with my 5-year-old son. She loves human company more than dogs for now. She plays with my son and my husband sleeps on our laps and loves belly rubs. She also seems fine when we leave her at home for a few hours. I’m feeding her home-cooked food and she loves carrots and treats. Her REEL: Happy now! https://www.facebook.com/reel/2171224453621595February 1, 2026, 12:33 pm

Story
Mira was one of the 5 neglected and matted dogs that were dumped in Fremont. After vet care and shave down (she had long matted coat) she is now doing great at her foster home. She was nervous at the shelter but at her foster home she warmed up quickly and is now very lovable and playful. Mira loves to jump on the bed and cuddling. Loves attention and being petted. Eating well. She loves playing with toys walks cuddling zooming around and great with foster home's dog. Mira is a sweetie in first foster home with another dog. Another dog at home really helps her feel safe. More info. to come. Mira's REEL: https://www.facebook.com/reel/792339953879642 Update from 2nd foster home for first fh's biz trip:- She's getting more comfortable with us but weary with strangers. - Eating and now loves her food: boiled chicken beef pumpkin rice homemade stew cheese canned food with homemade food.- Not reactive around dogs in fact I think being around dogs may help her we had our neighbor come down with his small dog and they were interactive. Another dog helps her feel more safe.- She loves loves loves tummy rubs but won't cuddle on the couch or sleep in their bed yet. She chooses to sleep on a dog bed on the floor and lay by herself.- Doesn't like to be picked up yet and learning she is safe.- Not use to car rides yet.- She is very picky with her treats so we have had a hard time finding a 'high value' treat to get her to do anything yet. She does seem to respond well to verbal praise.- She's very sweet just nervous and needs time to build trust!February 1, 2026, 12:33 pm
