Story
Simon is a 7-year-old, 16 pound Shih Tzu-Pomeranian-Poodle-Chihuahua mix looking for a loving new home. His elderly owner recently had to downsize and is heartbroken to give him up. Simon is loyal, affectionate, potty-trained, a good walker, and even knows some tricks. He's an all-around cool little dog. He loves being around people and is happiest playing with other small dogs. Simon needs companionship and attention, so he would do best in a home where someone is around much of the time or where he has a friendly small dog to keep him company. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and we are committed to finding Simon the safe, happy, loving home he deserves.

Story
Meet Herbie!Herbie was found as a stray by a kind Good Samaritan who kept him safe during his stray hold. When we were asked if Rover’s Retreat could help, we took one look at that adorable underbite and couldn’t say no! This handsome little guy is about 1 year old, weighs 10½ pounds, and is believed to be a Shih Tzu mix. Herbie can be a bit shy when meeting new people and likes to take his time getting comfortable, but a little chicken goes a long way toward winning his heart. Once he trusts you, you’ll have a loyal friend for life. Herbie is looking for patient adopters who understand that he may need time to settle in and are willing to work with him through any challenges that may come up along the way. He would love lots of opportunity to play. He walks beautifully on leash, loves his daily strolls, and enjoys being part of the action. With the right family, Herbie is going to blossom into an amazing companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, adorable little dog and are willing to give him the time and understanding he deserves, Herbie may be the perfect match for you! Herbie is being fostered in Redondo Beach. Questions can be emailed to Danelle@roversretreat.org The adoption application can be found at roversretreat.org Herbie's adoption fee is $600
