Story
Holley is a very sweet, 5 year old, 17 lb Shih Tzu who was severely neglected and extremely overweight. She has lost 6 pounds and recently had surgery to remove bladder stones. Holley is feeling much better. Holley is on a special diet that she will need to continue to prevent a recurrence of the stones. Holley loves people. All she wants is to be with someone all of the time. Holley is also a toy hoarder. She would be happiest as an only dog, or with a quiet dog that will let her be the boss.

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Milo is a 4-year-old, 15-pound Shih Tzu mix with a loving heart and a gentle soul. This affectionate boy is truly a wonderful companion who thrives on closeness with his people. In his foster home, Milo has been an absolute sweetheart — devoted, cuddly, and eager to bond. He’s doing fantastic with house training and has excellent manners around the home. Milo walks beautifully on leash, doesn’t bark on walks, and gets happily excited when he sees other dogs. He seems to really enjoy canine friends! Milo is also doing great with the resident cat — the two are even beginning to play together, which is just adorable. He’s responsive when you call him and loves being part of a calm, predictable routine. One of Milo’s cutest quirks? He puts himself to bed in his crate like a polite little gentleman. Because Milo is still building confidence, he does best with slow, gentle handling at first until trust is established. He would thrive in an adult-only home with structure, consistency, and a quieter environment with fewer “moving parts.” If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will blossom into your best buddy with patience and love, Milo may be your perfect match. Adoption fee is $500 and includes his neuter, microchip, recent dental, vaccines/flea treatment/deworming current. Apply at www.lovebugsrescue.org Milo is being fostered in Lake Forest, CA.

Story
We do not adopt out of state - Northern California we will not consider either. Needs to be local residents - to Orange County area Ollie criteria -- strictly looking for someone who has another dog under 5 years old who not super barky - who is small breed dog - potential adopter has breed experience. We feel that him having him in a home with more then one dog in the home at this time maybe too over whelming for him at this point. We do not adopt younger dogs to older dogs who are 6/7 years and older not a good match at all. Energy level is different and Gap gap is completely different. Ollie is about 1 year old & 15lb. He is neutered, house trained & nearly potty trained, older kid friendly. He does well in the car and getting a bath. He needs slow introductions to people and dogs but soon after, he is ready to play. He loves going on walks and eating treats. His favorite fruits are banana and strawberries. Ollie loves belly rubs, cuddles, and taking naps. When he is recharged, he plays with toys, the squeakier the better. While he would love to go everywhere with you, he is okay to stay at home. Ollie is looking to find someone to love, to play fetch with, and be a couch potato with in a calm household. Pet name:: Ollie Date of Birth:: 10/06/2024 Breed:: Shitzu Weight:: 15lbs Fur length:: NA Sex:: Male Spayed/Neutered:: Yes Microchipped:: No Vaccinated: Yes Dog-friendly:: Yes Cat-friendly:: No Kid-friendly:: Yes Leash-trained:: Yes Potty-trained:: Yes Crate-trained:: Yes House-trained:: Yes Hours left alone per day:: 1 Separation anxiety:: Yes- he cries for little bit does calm down after little while Anyone wants to meet him please send inquiry

Story
Maomao is a Shih Tzu. She grew up with me since I bought her in Eastvale, CA when she was 2 months old. She is now 5 years old. I would describe her as docile, timid, and spaced-out. It is a low-energy commitment to take care of her. She only understands Mandarin Chinese and Sichuanese dialect, because those are the languages I use with her. She likes to play fetch with you, and she can even play with the ball by herself. She prefers soft balls. She enjoys tummy rubs. On walks, she does not get distracted by smells or other dogs and stays by your heel. But she doesn't like to run if you want to run. Unfortunately, she is not perfectly potty trained. She seems to have an issue in her right eye that doesn't affect her vision. She currently has ear infections which are improving with medication.
