Story
Poppy is a 10-pound Shih Tzu with a shy and reserved personality at first, but her wisdom years haven’t slowed her down. She is sweet and gentle in nature, and once she feels comfortable, she enjoys connecting with people and showing her affectionate side. Poppy gets along well with other dogs and may benefit from having another canine friend in the home to help show her the ropes. A meet and greet at the shelter is required to ensure any existing dogs are a good fit. With patience and a calm, loving home, Poppy is ready to share her companionship and gentle spirit with the right family. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog’s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Story
Tamarack (6 yrs. 16 lbs.) is a Shih Tzu with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Friendly, playful, and full of life, Tamarack lights up around other dogs and is always ready for a game or a romp in the yard. He’s especially happy when he’s around canine companions who match his enthusiasm—or help ground it. While Tamarack is a sweetheart through and through, he does show some high-energy behaviors in the rescue environment that make him stand out from the crowd. He’s spirited, expressive, and always on the go—so he’s looking for a home that understands his zest for life and can offer structure, patience, and support. Tamarack is still unsure about handling and will need a patient home willing to work with him at a slow, respectful pace as he continues to build trust. He will also benefit from ongoing socialization around people to help him feel more confident in new situations. The good news is that Tamarack is food motivated, which makes positive reinforcement training a great tool for helping him succeed. He also walks on leash and enjoys getting out and about. Tamarack requires a confident, established dog in the home to help guide him and model calmer behavior. He thrives with routine, companionship, and a family who can appreciate his playful nature while gently helping him stay balanced. If you have a solid pack leader (with four legs), a patient heart, and a willingness to help a dog grow at his own pace, Tamarack could be your perfect match. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet.

Story
Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogInformation 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 Woody, and I am a beautiful Shih boy who was born on 1/19/24, and I weigh 10 pounds. I need an all-adult home and a small sibling to play with and learn from would be ideal.  If you have been waiting for a little Shih Tzu boy, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org. Love, Woody 012626-04March 7, 2026, 12:45 pm
