Story
Meet Bowie; a brave little traveler with a bright future ahead. Bowie came to the shelter after being found wandering down a country road alongside his pals, Hoggle and Ludo. Though the trio looked like theyd been on quite the journey, Bowie has remained in great spirits and is relieved to be somewhere warm and safe. His coat is currently matted from his time on the road, but dont let the scruffy exterior fool you; underneath is a handsome boy just waiting for his glow-up. Bowie has a sweet, hopeful expression and a gentle nature that shines through despite his rough start. He seems to take comfort in the company of other dogs and would likely do well in a home that offers patience, kindness, and lots of love. With a good grooming, some TLC, and a cozy place to call his own, Bowie is sure to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. If youre ready to turn this strays story into a happily-ever-after, Bowie is waiting to meet you. Bowie is on a stray hold until 2/21 and is on schedule to be neutered on 3/3. He will be able to go to his new home as soon as 3/4. Adoption fee is $350. Please visit our website www.petsnpals.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Coda loves to run and enjoys the out doors. He sleeps in his kennel and sometimes goes into it during the day just to relax. He will sit or stand on his two back legs for a treat. He will bark when he first meets you and quickly will be your best friend. I’m advised his final weight will be 11 to 12 pounds.

Molly is potty trained and used to being taken out on a schedule. She is learning how to use the doggie door. She is scheduled to be spayed, but we are looking for her home now.

If we need to look something up later and you used a different email we are often not able to find it. 2. Adopt a Pet and Petfinders ask you to send us an enquiry. This always delays our response.

We are a small non-profit and do not always have the help to answer as many enquiries as we get. c. Again our Biographies are very detailed and if you just click the link near the bottom of their bio you can fill out an application which we will respond to. 3.

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
