Story
Bubbles and her sister and brother, Buttercup and Brodie were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd this year so they are 8 months old. Bubbles has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs just under 9 pounds and is probably full grown now. Bubbles is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Although and three pups are extremely sweet, Bubbles is a most friendly and a super snuggler! She plays great with her brother and sister and we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them. She would do well with older children and we have not had her around cats but we feel like she would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

Buttercup is a little bossy but plays great with her brother and sister. we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them but would always want to be the boss. She would be fine with older children and we are not sure about cats but the bossy part would be the same at first.

Foster, RI

Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cody is an adorable 13 year old Shih Tzu mix who came to us after his owner passed away. Cody is a little guy only weighing 9 pounds. He spends his days snoozing, getting cuddled, and eating. Cody has been great with every dog he has met but he probably should not be with bigger active dogs because of his size. We have not heard Cody bark yet but once he is comfortable in his environment he may start being more vocal. This little man just wants a comfortable place to live out his remaining years. Cody is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, recently had full blood work and a dental. He requires eye drops twice a day for dry eye and is also eating a prescription hydrolyzed diet for his skin. He will need medicated baths and may also need Cytopoint injections for his skin in the future. To apply to adopt Cody, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt
