Story
This handsome 3 year old gentleman came to us from Oklahoma and is ready to find his forever family! He is a Shih tzu mix, who is nervous at first with people, but warms up after a few hours. After a few days, he will follow you anywhere. Badger gets along with other dogs and is very loving and sweet. He has made great progress at housetraining, and hasn't had an accident in 4 days, but willingly wore a doggie diaper. He has been diagnosed with dry eye, which will require eye drops daily for the rest of his life. The medication is inexpensive and he happily does his eye drops in trade for a bit of cheese! You can see from the pictures how much better his eyes are! Apply for Badger today!

Story
I am Cotton and I am a 5-6 year old Shih Tzu. My foster family calls me the "Pillow Princess" as my favorite places to be are on pillows. I am calm but shy. However, I am missing one eye and partially blind in the other so I appreciate it when people approach me slowly, letting me know they are there and helping me understand what they are going to do. I get along with other dogs but I am not a kitty fan. I will probably do best in a quieter home without little kids since they do tend to have more sudden movements. I do enjoying cuddling and snuggling with lots of pets. Please come meet me so we can find out if I am your fur-ever snuggle buddy!

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
Wendy is a 2-3 year old sweet girl weighing about 15-20lbs.  Wendy was dumped in a field when she was incredibly pregnant.  Luckily one of our wonderful rescue partners was able to get her in a safe foster home just hours before giving birth to 5 adorable pups.  Fast forward 2.5 Months and all Wendy's have found their forever families and now it's her turn to find a wonderful family of her very own.   Wendy is very playful. She loves to play with stuffed animals and loves our dogs. She is nervous around new people. She won’t let us touch her when we are standing up, but will come up on the couch and bed for pets the more she feels comfortable. She will follow us around and wag her tail at us and loves it when her fosters get down on the ground to let her get all the love and scratches.  We would love to see Wendy go to a home with another dog to continue gaining confidence. She seems to be potty trained.  She is a wonderful little girl who has been through a lot in her short life.  Her resiliance to trust and love is really showing through.  She just needs a family who will give her that patience and unconditioinal love while she continues to learn and trust. If you are interested in adopting Wendy, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2352859##
