Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!   Hi hi, I’m Taz. Yes, that Taz — the one with main character energy and zero shame about it. I’m an estimated 4-year-old Shih Tzu gentleman who may have once been found on the streets… but don’t let that fool you. I act like absolute royalty and fully expect to be treated as such. I am a Velcro pup through and through — wherever you go, I go. Bathroom? Kitchen? Couch? I’m already there. I hate being alone and want to be right by my person at all times. I can be a little skittish and nervous at first, but once I choose you (and I will choose you), I’m incredibly loving, loyal, and one of a kind. I’m fully potty trained and house trained, and I don’t destroy furniture or cause chaos — unless you count demanding attention 24/7 as chaos. Leashes? Not my vibe. I prefer a fenced yard where I can safely enjoy my space without the stress of walks. I’d thrive best with a retired person or couple who can take me wherever life goes. No kids, please — and I’d really prefer to be your one and only dog. I do have a few things I’m working on — marking, mounting, and some resource guarding — so I’ll need a patient, understanding home that’s willing to keep helping me improve. But trust me… I pay you back with nonstop laughs and devotion. A word from my foster: “Taz is the epitome of main character energy. He is the funniest little guy. He wants attention 24/7 in exchange for 24/7 entertainment.” If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a huge personality, a loyal shadow, and endless entertainment — I might just be your guy. Adoption FEE: $500 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.

Story
Royal was brought from Petland in 2017! He came with a chip. He is very friendly and gets along well with other animals. He is playful and loves children. He needs rehoming due to allergies of gran and my health issues since retirement! I was recommended by the Animal hospital in pine hills! He has dry eyes and I was told to wipe with water as needed! He is up to date on shots. A loving home for him would be great! Thank you!!
