Story
Meet Oliver My name is Oliver. I am an eight-pound neutered male Shih Tzu mix who is one and a half years old. I am being cared for by an ARRF foster while I look for my forever home. Please call Brande with inquiries about Oliver at (619) 636-1866. ARRF does not have a shelter and all of our animals are in foster homes. I was not properly cared for before my foster mom took me in and I suffered from malnutrition, but now that I’m in this wonderful foster home, I have become a healthy, happy, and playful little boy! I am neutered, up-to-date on all my shots, house-trained, and have a microchip. I sleep in a crate all night long and I am learning new things like sit and stay. I love to play and I love to go for walks. I walk very well on a leash. I would like a home with someone who would like to play with me and teach me new things. I am a loving little boy, and as you can see from my pictures, I’m pretty cute! For more information, please call or text Brande at (619) 636-1866. Oliver is being fostered in the East County of San Diego.

We got the call about an abanded family of little dogs here in Mexico. We went to the abandoned property and found a Mom and Dad in terrible shape and dead babies. Fred was a real trooper. He had to have all his fur cut off due to the matted insect infested hair and skin infections. He is now a loving funny little guy looking for love.  ##2050257##

Story
My name is Suzi Q. I am a young senior of approximately eight years and stylish figure of approximately 9 pounds. I have two delicate little front teeth, but I am a very good eater. I will be truly beautiful when I look more like my Shih Tzu self as my fur needs to grow out. I am otherwise very healthy and quiet and love to be with my human as much as possible. I get along with the other dogs in the household. I do need a little more instruction on going out to the right potty spot, but I am very cooperative. I might prefer another senior like myself so that I can get all the cuddles!
