Story
Niles is a one year old boy- a mix of shih tzu, yorkie, cocker spaniel and lhasa apso- at least that is our best guess. His foster mom calls him Mo. He is about 18 pounds. Niles came from a situation of pretty bad neglect and we have been working with him to teach him how to be a dog. He is progressing on his housebreaking (though not perfect yet) and is still very scared of strangers (he hides under the bed and barks). We feel that he is ready to move to a forever home with someone who is willing to put the work in to help Niles be the best version of himself. Ideally, we are looking for someone that is a young retiree or works from home and has a back yard. Niles is good with other dogs, up to date on all his vaccines and testing and we have already had him neutered and chipped.    Applications are available at www.chesed-rescue.org/adoptions.  We background and vet check all applicants and are looking for stable homes.August 5, 2026, 9:44 pm

Story
Meet Betsy!   Betsy is about 10 years old, maybe a little older, almost 15 pounds and a shih tzu or shih tzu mix. We had to shave her down due to severe matting and debris in her fur, but she will be beautiful when she is all cleaned up! The last picture is when she first left the shelter, the rest show her shaved down (and looking a little sad because of it). We are getting all her medical needs (dental, vision check up, vaccines, etc.) taken care of, but she is ready to take applications! We believe that Betsy is partially deaf. Sweet, quiet and housebroken, and follows her foster mom around like a shadow. She does have a mischievous streak (and is known to have stolen shoes), but it is impossible to be mad at her! Excellent senior companion. Apply for this love now! Applications for Betsy are available at www.chesed-rescue.org/adoptions. We background and vet check all applicants and are looking for stable homes.  August 5, 2026, 9:44 pm

Bentley

Shih Tzu

Male, 4 yrs 3 mos
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bentley is around 3 years old very special shitzu boy. He went through a lot in his life and it took us some time to help this unique boy on the right path. He used to be very grumpy and anti social, but we realized it was due to a medical reason. Bentley had a retinal detachment in his left eye, causing a lot of trouble with his behavior. Our amazing vet team had his left eye successfully removed and Bentley is adjusting very well into being a sweet, handsome one eye dog. He loves to roam around the house like a king and loves his foster parents and siblings. At first, Bentley can be little shy, anti social and bit grumpy, therefore he needs a very specific adopter. Preferably someone with bit of a patience who would be willing to give this boy bit of a space to adjust into a new home. Bentley can be very sweet companion, who loves to go out on walks, but doesn’t like to be approached by strangers. He absolutely loves car rides. He does well with other dogs as long as they give him space and are not too much in his face. Pretty much same applies to humans. He is the sweetest and most loving dog, but he needs to come to you on his own terms. Therefore he would be great as a companion for adults, definitely no young children who would not be able to understand that he simply doesn’t like to be bothered. Most funny thing about him is, that he is very specific about his doggy bed, he only likes certain type. Besides that, he absolutely loves to sleep on the chairs because in a way he can hide and at the same time have the best view of everything and everyone. Bentley can be bit vocal, therefore he would do better in the house rather than an apartment . DOB 4/2022 - 14lbs Adoption fee includes DHPP vaccine, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate) heartworm testing, spay/neuter surgery, deworming, wellness vet visit, one month of pet insurance and microchip. All animals are examined by a veterinarian. Please fill out our application at https://gkarma.wufoo.com/forms/good-karma-pet-rescue-dog-adoption-screening/ if you would like to adopt or meet this dog, and we will be in touch right away!

Story
Howard is about 4.5 years old and weighs 11 pounds. He has the softest fur you will ever feel. We think he might be a mix of Lhasa Apso and Bedlington Terrier. He is medium to high energy and working on the housebreaking (which hopefully will be easy after his neuter). Amazing cuddler!  Good with all people and other dogs. We are bringing him up to date on his vaccines and a neuter. Howard would love to find a family to be his forever. Ideally, an active one who will let him be involved in everything.  Howard likes to be where the action is!
