Story
Always smiling, Mac is an adorable Shih Tzu who's ready to settle into the life of a playful companion. Mac has a boundless sense of fun, and he will never say no to playing with squeaky stuffies. He's happy to relax and enjoy gentle pets, and he's just as content to enjoy a jaunt around the neighborhood - his leash skills are stellar! Mac may enjoy a like-sized dog or kitty, and at this time, is recommended for a family with older or no children. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 21 Age: 5yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Meet Crunch, a 2-year-old, 9.5-pound Shih Tzu with a heart as big as his adorable face! This happy-go-lucky little guy is always ready to brighten your day with his sweet personality and easygoing nature. Crunch gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats, making him a great addition to a variety of homes. He’s happiest when he’s close to his people, whether that’s curled up beside you on the couch, following you around the house, or soaking up a good snuggle. While he’ll settle nicely into his crate at night, he’d much rather be snoozing somewhere nearby. He’s a polite walker on leash and enjoys getting out to explore. Crunch is still working on his housetraining, so he’ll need a family that’s committed to helping him continue building good habits with patience and consistency. If you’re looking for a cheerful little companion who will happily be your shadow and your cuddle buddy, Crunch is ready to steal your heart! Crunch is being fostered in Mead, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/crunch/.

Story
Shelton is guessed to be a 10+ yr old Shih Tzu mix. This sweet boy sadly came to us with his sister, Goldie, after their owner recently passed away and they had no where to go. They are very confused on why they went from a comfy home to a kennel in a rescue. They are both 10+ yrs old and bonded, good with dogs, and would LOVE to find a new and loving home to retire in. Goldie is deaf, and Shelton is partially blind, but neither lets that stop them from enjoying love, comfort, and companionship. Please consider these sweet seniors! They are waiting in Windsor.

Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dog  Important Information Please read! If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care. Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train.  Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue.  However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs. The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children, and we do not know how they will react. Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location. Hi! My name is Mocha, and I am a sweet Shih Tzu girl who was born 8/10/18, and I weigh 9 pounds. I get along well with other dogs and love people!  If you have been waiting for a sweet Shih Tzu, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org.

Story
Zero is a sweet, sensitive boy who needs time to decompress and feel safe in a new home. He may be nervous at first, but once trust is built, he becomes a total cuddle bug. He loves squeaky toys and quiet companionship.Zero requires an adults-only (18+) home with an experienced owner who has supported a fearful or anxious dog before. With patience and understanding, he’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion.
