Story
Hello, I found this dog two months ago, I did everything possible to find her owners, but no one claimed her apparently they abandoned her, I live in a very small house and I have two older dogs and like the one I found is very playful and is bigger she crushes them and they are no longer getting along so well, so with the pain of my heart I have to give her up for adoption, she is very playful and very affectionate, I think that if they adopt her where she only lives she would be better because she is a little jealous with other dogs. I feel sad to take her to a shelter and I hope someone from here can adopt her and love her very much.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Silly tripawed cutieMeet Hiccup! What do you get when you cross a Shih Tzu with a French Bulldog...and take away one leg? You get Hiccup! At just 2 years old and 26 pounds, Hiccup is equal parts adorable, goofy, and affectionate. Don't let his three legs fool you—this little guy is always ready for his next adventure! Whether it's a neighborhood walk, a ride in the car, or tagging along on your daily errands, Hiccup is convinced every outing is a celebration, and everyone he meets is his new best friend. Hiccup is a social butterfly who would happily introduce you to all of his friends if he could. His cheerful personality and contagious enthusiasm make him a joy to have by your side. Miss something interesting? Hiccup will give you a quick alert bark to make sure you see what he sees and then will quietly let you take the lead. When it's time to slow down, Hiccup is just as happy to curl up for cuddles. He has the perfect balance of playful energy and loving companionship. Hiccup would thrive as your one-and-only pup, but he'd also fit right into a family with other dogs. Give him a backyard or a nearby park, and he'll happily spend hours exploring the world one sniff at a time. As a young dog, Hiccup will benefit from continued training to help him become the very best version of himself. He still struggles a bit with his house training - playtime is just too fun! The good news? He already has a wonderful foundation and is eager to keep learning. Hiccup is a typical, high-energy two year old who needs regular walks and lots of play time. He’s starting to learn good manners—he’s mastered sit and is currently puzzling out lie down! He’ll thrive in a home that continues to help him develop proper boundaries and manners with loving patience and a sense of humor.  If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick with a huge heart, an irresistible smile, and a one-of-a-kind story, Hiccup is waiting to meet you. Want to see more of his adventures? Follow Hiccup on Instagram: @justa.little.hiccup.

Story
New rescues. Super cuties. Coconut and Kiwi Shih Tzu mix. Both are happy eating and playful at their hero foster home. 💜🥰. They will need time to rest and eat healthy foods. Both were found dumped in a box behind a store. Mom was several matted. The shelter shaved her down so she can move. Both are friendly and very sweet. Both will be available after Kiwi puppy is over 8 weeks old. Update: Kiwi is very active and confident. She has moxie and loves to zoom and play with other dogs. Needs a home with backyard to run and play. Another playful dog would be best for her energy level and happiness.YouTube: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1716552749625511August 24, 2026, 12:28 am

Story
Smallz is an obedient, chill dog. He is house trained. We inherited him from a family member who passed away 3 years ago. We are sad to be looking for a new home for him. We have a new baby and he has become slightly anxious and acting a little out of the ordinary. We are nervous he will become aggressive towards the baby and we think this is what’s best.
