Story

Age: 9 years old Gender: Male Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight: 26 lbs Personality: Yuki is wary of strangers but will warm up to people with a bit of chicken and patience on the human's side. Yuki is a mellow guy who loves to nap next to you and lounge in the sun. Yuki is content to sleep the day away near his person but is also up for playing with stuffed animals and fetching! Yuki does well on leash but is quick to warn you that strangers are nearby. He has some barrier frustration, but is generally very easy going once he has warmed up to you. He loves going for car rides and is a great passenger, although drive thru cashiers may be startled at his sudden alerting. Yuki does well with other dogs. He is polite enough to leave old grumpy dogs alone but will play with young energetic pups. He does not resource guard his person, but does show some food guarding tendencies. It would be safest to feed separately. Needs a home with no children or older children who will treat him with respect and give him space as needed. If you have some chicken and just two days of patience, you will be rewarded with so much love. Yuki is an easy dog, he is crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on leash. He is generally a gentle, mellow guy with great house manners. He has a case of stranger danger, but can be redirected when he is reacting. Yuki loves hanging out with his human, but does well when left alone. He will sleep until you return and greet you wholeheartedly. Yuki takes a little bit to warm up to his person, but once you earn his trust, you will find that no one else will look at you with as much love in their eyes as Yuki. Education: Good with bathroom and leash training Favorite Activities: Napping, cuddling, chewing tags and eyeballs off stuffed animals, fetch, sun bathing. He's also extremely dog friendly Looking for: A sweet person or family who can give him space, be patient with him and respect/ advocate for his boundaries while he learns to trust humans. Ideally older and respectful kids are ok, and so are dogs. He is currently taking Prozac (~$5-10 for a month's supply, depending on market value and where purchased) to successfully help manage his anxiety around new people. Adoption Fee: $ 350 ##1592807##

Story

Riley is a 13-year-old purebred Shih Tzu (born June 11, 2013) who has been a deeply loved part of our family. One of our favorite memories is his joyful zoomies when we first brought him home He loved running happily around the house. He is house-trained and does well with our resident dog. Riley enjoys quiet companionship, cozy places to rest, and being near his people. As Riley has aged, he has developed vision loss, anxiety, and occasional incontinence, and he has become uncomfortable around young children. Because of this, he would do best in a calm, adult-only home with someone experienced with senior dogs who can offer patience and gentle care. This decision comes from love and a desire to give Riley the peaceful, dignified home he deserves in his golden years. Adoption fee is flexible for the right home. Riley is a gentle soul who loves quiet companionship and cozy naps, and still has so much love to give to the right person.

Story

She was a birthday gift best ever!!! I will be traveling for extended periods of time for work and that is not fair to my puppy. She just turned 6 months old yesterday and has all the energy that comes with a a puppy her age. Her ears have a hint of light champagne color. Looking for loving home to give her lots of cuddles and kisses. She is very sweet, each morning greats me with a kisses. Very curious like a nosey neighbor and ready to answer the doorbell, thinking it is a delivery for her or if not, she wants to be in on the package opening. She loves her blueberries in the morning and sips of bone broth (that she thinks is coffee). She really likes wearing her vests and matching bows. She has her own Shih Tzu (stuffed) puppy that she snuggles up to during her day time naps. To get her to settle, we listen to classical music and then she will snooze and snore LOL. I wish I could take her with me but I am unable to and I do not have family or friends that can take her.
