NAME:  Martin BREED:  Shih Tzu mix SEX:  Male COLOR:  white/brown AGE:  2 yrs as of July 2026 WEIGHT:  9.6 lbs LOCATED IN:  Arcadia SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME: Meet Martin!  Martin is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing just 9 pounds, and right now he's still letting us in on the little secrets of who he is. Martin is a shy boy who likes to take his time getting comfortable with new people and new surroundings. He isn't looking to be the center of attention. He's much more interested in finding a soft bed, stretching out in a warm patch of sunshine, and quietly watching the world go by. And honestly, Martin may be onto something.  He enjoys treats and occasionally lets loose for a little playtime with his friend Gibson, giving us glimpses of the more playful personality hiding underneath that shy exterior. When Martin was found, his coat was extremely matted and desperately needed some TLC. Despite everything he had been through, he was a very good boy for his grooming. Because Martin is still new to Canine Castaways, were continuing to learn about him. We don't yet know all his favorite things, his funny little quirks, or exactly what his perfect home will look like. But were starting to see pieces of him. Martin doesn't need someone who expects him to show them everything on the first day. He needs someone willing to give him a little time and enjoy discovering who he becomes once he knows he's safe. Some dogs arrive ready to tell you their whole story. Martin is giving us his one page at a time.    If you are interested in adopting please complete our Adoption Application by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: http://www.caninecastaways.org/adoption-application For a full list of dogs we currently have for adoption use this link:  https://www.caninecastaways.org/adoptable-dogs MEDICAL INFO: The following has been or will be done for this dog... - Basic Exam by Veterinarian - Spayed or Neutered - Heartworm Tested - Placed on heartworm preventive - Basic Bloodwork - Urinalysis - Microchipped - Intestinal Parasite Exam and medication - Vaccinations - Placed on Flea preventive ADOPTION DONATION: $300 This adoption donation helps to cover the vet expenses for this dog including heartworm preventive which is dispensed at the initial vet visit and then goes with the dog at adoption.

Story
Hello- my name is Tulip! The people here at Guardians rescued me after I was found trying to survive on my own in the Miami area. I am estimated to be about 4 years old, last weighted in at 13lbs and look to be a Shih Tzu / Lhasa apso mix(best guess). I am very sweet and social. I get along well with other dogs, too! I walk well on leash and love playing with the volunteers when we go on our walks. I am active, so looking for someone who likes to go on walks and do fun things.My $350 adoption fee includes vet exam, up to date vaccines, deworming, microchip, and spay- everything already done. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete a free, non-binding application at www.gofar.dog under Adopt.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21
