Story
Hey friends, it’s me Curtis! I’m a 10-year-old, 10 lb Shih Tzu mix boy with a heart full of love and a zest for life! Here’s my story! I found myself at a local shelter, but Florida Coastal Cocker Rescue scooped me up, got me fixed up, and now I’m ready for my forever home! I’m a super sweet guy who gets along great with both dogs and cats—the more the merrier! I’m housebroken, did great in a crate, and I love going for walks. Honestly, I’d prefer to be outside enjoying the fresh air as much as possible because there’s just something magical about being outdoors! At night, I sleep on my dog bed right beside my human because being close to you is where I feel most at home. I can be cuddly sometimes, and I’m gentle and easygoing. I have no teeth, so treats really aren’t my thing. But don’t worry—I’m a great eater and I love my wet food watered down into a nice, easy-to-eat meal! I’m probably good with older, dog-savvy kids who understand how to be gentle with a sweet senior like me. Speaking of being a senior—adopting a senior dog like me means you get all the love without the puppy chaos! I’m calm, well-mannered, and I know what really matters in life: walks, fresh air, and quality time with my favorite person. Senior dogs have so much love left to give! If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and will be grateful for every moment with you, I’m your guy! Visit www.floridacockerrescue.org to apply! ADOPTION FEE: $285

Story
Hellloooo WORLD! My name is Lloyd and I’m a 2-year-old, 12lb Shih Tzu from the Magnificent 7 pack! They say I’m two, but I really feel like I’m still a puppy and I have the energy to prove it! I have a big personality and consider myself the leader of my crew! Always first on walks and always ready to let you know exactly how I feel about things (I have OPINIONS, you know!) I’m cute as a button and I KNOW IT! Morning routine? I wait patiently in my crate (which I love)… until I see you, then it’s PARTY TIME! Woo, I get so excited to see my human and get out that I give like a thousand kisses while she tries to get my leash on - I admit it’s a bit of whirlwind to get out the door. I’m working on my house manners and doing great…I do best on a consistent schedule. I LOVE car rides, and walks are my JAM! I am learning to walk nicely on a leash but need continued training. I’m great with all dogs…sometimes I get a little pushy though until the senior dogs in the pack remind me of the pecking order. Meal time is my favorite time of day and I’m learning about these wonderful things called treats!! Here’s the bottom line - I'm the cutest lap-seeking, ear-rub-loving goofball you'll ever meet! I’m silly, a bit crazy, and 100% loving! Now I’m ready to find my forever family who can handle my wild, wonderful puppy energy! Is that YOU? Head over to FCCR’s website to apply for me today!

Story
Everyone say hi to Arfie, a 6 year old 28 lb shih tzu boy. Yes you read that right, Arfie weighs 28 lbs and is in need of a home that will take him on walks and give him the opportunity to shed some much needed pounds---with that said this little boy is an " absolute gentleman" according to his foster mom. Arfie came to us after his elderly owner was unable to care for him longer due to her own personal issues----Arfie has come a long way from intake when he was all of 39lbs!!! He just wants to please everyone, has excellent house manners and deserves a chance at a great life in a loving home. He gets along with EVERYONE and is a soft and kind hearted soul....he has yet to meet a person he doesn't wag his little tail at and asks to say hello to. Arfie has a history of seizures and is on medication where it controlled now that he has been seen and treated for it by our veterinary team. He also is allergic to chicken and chicken by-products but is doing great on a diet of salmon and sweet potato kibble which is sold over the counter. If interested in adopting this darling boy please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $300.00

Story
Pebbles is currently in a foster home , please call 239-332-0364 to book an appointment to meet her. Meet Pebbles! 🐾💗 Pebbles is a precious 13-year-old Shih Tzu with a lively spirit, a gentle heart, and the sweetest little face. This senior sweetheart may be a golden girl, but she still has plenty of pep in her step and so much love to give. Pebbles qualifies for our Silver Paws VIP program, which helps support senior adopters and senior pets—making it even easier for her to find the happy, comfortable retirement home she truly deserves. Pebbles will need lifelong medication (eye drops) twice a day because she has dry eye, but it doesn't slow her down! She also recently had 3 masses removed from the skin on her abdomen, but they were non-cancerous and proved to only be a nuisance that have been taken care of! Pebbles loves being close to her people, so we are looking for an adopter who will be able to be home with her most days. She also loves walks and treats! She has historically been an only pet, but she appears to do well with other pets in the home as well. Pebbles is currently enjoying the freedom of a foster home, so if you'd like to meet her please call to schedule an appointment!
