Story
This girl was always meant to be a diva so you'd never guess she was found so dirty and matted in a park in Seguin, Texas, that she was named after Frank Gallagher in Shameless and they didn't even know she was a girl until they shaved her down. Frankie is a diva that actually loves kids! She chooses a kiddo as her person, will wait for them to get out of school, knows their schedule. When they get home, she likes to play dress up! She is good with other dogs but can be sassy, has some big britches; will play but is bossy. She likes taking toys away from other dogs. Frankie is ok in the crate, if needed, but the diva prefers not. She MUST have wet found mixed with kibble or will go on a hunger strike. She's about 80% potty trained, but you'd better not say anything. Our best guess is that Frankie is perhaps a Shih Tzu mix- but playing 'guess the breed,' for street dogs is really hard! Frankie is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring her up and into their home. ***Frankie is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200/dog).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2649539##

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##
