Story
Halo is a 4 year old, 20lb Shih Tzu.  Halo was surrendered from his owners becayse she had a lot of dogs and wanted to downsize.  Halo is the cutest little boy who is missing half his jaw, so his little tongue hangs out of his mouth all the time - it might be the cutest thing ever! Halo is the cutest little man with a big personality.  Halo loves to snuggle and hang out with his foster Momma.  He gets along with other dogs and is great on a leash.  He is pretty well trained and listens well.  Halo is also a pretty stubborn little man.   For some people this big personality is hilarous and they adore everything about him, everybody who meets him laughs at him and falls in love instantly.  He loves to cuddle and hang out and go for walks/wander around the back yard.  He is a non shedding dog so he will need someone who can get him regular grooming appointments.  If you are looking for an adorable little dog, with a tongue hanging out all the time, and a big personality Halo is your man! If you are interested in adopting little Halo, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2234207##

Story
Aretha is a 2-3 year old maybe Shih Tzu/Havanese(?) mix weighing about 14lbs.  Aretha was found dirty, matted, and wandering the streets of Texas.  One of our wonderful partners brought her in, in hopes of finding her family, but unfortnately they never came looking for her.  The area she was found in has tons of stray dogs, so it's not surpriging nobody was looking for her :(. She was cleaned up, shaved, and put into a safe and loving foster home until she could be transferred to CO.  Once she made the trip here she was checked out by our vets again, and officially cleared for adoption!   Aretha's foster said she is a super sweet and easy girl.  She is more laid back and super gentle with the other dogs, kids, and cats in her foster home.  She loves to be around people and snuggle up next to her fosters on the couch.  She seems to be potty trained (although we cannot guarantee it) and is a smart little girl.  She is just a wonderful little dog and will be a great addition to any family.   If you are interested in adopting Aretha, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2646850##

Betsy is a 1-2 year old Shih Tzu (we think purbred but are not sure) weighing about 11lbs.  Betsy was found as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter with almost zero foot traffic, in Texas.  Unfortunately nobody ever came looking for little Betsy.  We were asked to bring her to CO since adoption in that area were very few and far between.  Betsy was then cleaned up, shaved, and fully vetted.   Betsy has been in CO in our foster program for a couple weeks now and is ready to find her forever family.  She is a sweet, sweet little girl with a happy, super loving personality.  She loves to play with the fosters other dogs.  She still has some of her young adult/puppy energy but is also great at cuddling up with the fosters and her kids during down time.  She loves to snuggle and be close to her humans.  She is the perfect mixture of being an easy going cuddle bug, and also a happy-go-lucky, fun little girl.   If you are interested in adopting Betsy, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2646885##
