Story
Happy is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu weighing approximately 12 pounds. When he gets to know you, he is so happy and affectionate. He loves to play, but he does play rough, so no young children. He is spoiled, and if he doesn’t get his way, he will try to bite. So everything has to be on his own terms, and then he is a lovable, happy boy. His adoption donation is $350, which includes his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. He is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. He will be very “happy” when he gets his forever home. https://www.aforeverhomeanimalrescue.org/store/p75/Happy.html We are only able to adopt within the state of Florida. We have a page on our website that explains our adoption process, and contains a link to our adoption application. Here is the link: https://www.aforeverhomeanimalrescue.org/adoption-information.html

Story
Ari is being fostered in PA. Little Ari is guessed to be about 12 years old and appears to be a shih tzu mix. She is a quiet, gentle, passive, loveable girl who loves her meals and can sleep like no other! She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages. She simply ignores other dogs and cats in her foster home and needs to be in a home with gentle pets and children because it does not appear like she will defend or stick up for herself. She is just as happy to snuggle up on the sofa as she is to find her bed for the day on the floor. She seems to enjoy sniffing all she can when she’s outside but may not make the best walk buddy, as she’d rather meander and smell things. She rides well in the car and tolerates her foster mom’s kisses very well. Ari is completely blind since she has no eyes and her hearing is poor. Her foster mom keeps a potty pad close to her bed so when she gets up from her nap, she has it to potty on when her mom is working. She will not indicate a need to go out to potty. She will need to be carried outside but does fine exploring once she’s out. She cannot go up or down stairs by herself. She will have a dental and a lumpectomy of a non-cancerous mass on her cheek on May 9th and will be ready to find her forever home shortly after. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Teddy is an amazing dog. He funny, a great cuddler and energetic. I does have separation anxiety and doesn’t do well with children. With some patience and training that could change. He is house trained and up to date on all shots. He has had some medical problems as far as his anal glands getting infected. Other than that, all healthy.
