Story
Bella is a sweet, loyal Shih Tzu girl looking for a very special forever home. At about 10 years young, this beautiful lady is full of love and companionship, and she dreams of being someone’s devoted sidekick. Bella thrives on being close to her person—she’ll happily follow you from room to room, ride along on car trips, and walk nicely by your side on a leash. At home, she’s a perfect little lady. She does not require a crate and will quietly wait for you by the door until you return. 💖 Bella is currently on a healthy weight-loss journey and is doing great! She weighs about 16 pounds. She does require some simple daily care, including eye drops and a liver supplement, and she handles both like a champ. 💙 Special Medical Needs Bella was recently diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, so she is looking for a dedicated adopter willing to help her stay healthy and comfortable. Her care includes: Daily medication (approximately $250/month) A low-fat, low-sodium, high-protein diet to support her weight and organ health While Bella may need a little extra care, she will repay you with unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship every single day. 👑 Personality & Home Requirements Best as an only dog (she loves being queen of the castle!) Cat-friendly Quiet and easygoing (with a little adorable snoring 😴) Loves head rubs… kisses are optional 😉 Bella is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm-negative, and on monthly prevention. Her adoption donation is $200. Bella is currently in a foster home, and we are requesting an approved application prior to a meet and greet. 💕 Bella is searching for a big-hearted adopter who understands that sometimes the most special dogs need just a little extra—and give back so much more. Could that be you?

Story
*** Bonded – Lexie and Codey are bonded and must be adopted together. Meet Lexie and Codey! Hi, we’re Lexie and Codey, lifelong companions who adore each other and are ready to bring our gentle, senior sweetness to a new family. We’re calm, affectionate, easygoing, and we’re hoping to find a home with room in the heart for two. Lexie: I’m a 12½yearold Shih Tzu girl who weighs 10 pounds. I’m an independent soul who enjoys quiet moments, cozy spots, and choosing affection when it feels just right. I may be small, but I’m steady, observant, and full of soft charm. Codey: I’m a 13½yearold Maltese blend boy who weighs 8 pounds. I’m young at heart, love staying close to my person, and bring a warm, cheerful presence wherever I go. I’m devoted, cuddly, and always ready to join in on whatever my human is doing. Favorite Things  Lexie: Lexie enjoys peaceful moments and likes having her own little nook to unwind in. She’s independent and chooses affection on her terms, occasionally settling beside her person when she feels social. Toys aren’t her priority, but she loves mealtime and finishes every bowl with enthusiasm. During storms or fireworks she appreciates being close, showing her sweetest, most tender side. Codey: Codey loves staying near his person and happily shadows them throughout the day. He enjoys curling up on the couch, stretching out in bed, and following familiar routines. While toys don’t interest him much, he’s delighted by breakfast and dinner and cleans his bowl with gusto. He naps often but perks up the moment his human moves, eager to join in. Training and Manners Lexie and Codey are both housetrained when given regular outdoor breaks and have lovely manners. They walk politely on a leash and enjoy calm car rides, making outings simple and pleasant.  Lexie: Lexie settles comfortably in her dog bed at night and enjoys a calm, predictable routine. She allows being picked up with gentle caution and moves through her day with a soft, steady ease that makes her feel right at home. Codey: Codey sleeps soundly either in his bed or curled up beside his person and quickly adapts to the rhythm of his home. Once he feels settled, he lets his human know when he needs to go outside, adding a thoughtful, communicative touch to his easygoing nature. Health and Care  Lexie and Codey are both microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will need monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives, just like any other dog. Lexie: Lexie is spayed and despite having no teeth, eats beautifully and finishes her meals with enthusiasm. Monthly grooming keeps her comfortable, and she handles it with patient cooperation. Codey: Codey is neutered and also enjoys soft food, eating well and maintaining a healthy appetite. His grooming routine is easy, and he stays relaxed throughout baths and trims. Other Animals: Lexie and Codey are comfortable with dogs of all sizes and greet them with gentle curiosity. Their calm nature makes them easy companions for friendly canine households. Cats aren’t the right match for their interest level, but they blend beautifully into homes with respectful dogs. Children: Both dogs have experience with children of all ages and handle interactions with patience and softness. Their steady, easygoing personalities make them wonderful companions for families who teach kids to be kind to senior pups. Ideal Home: Lexie and Codey would thrive in a quiet, loving home where their people are around often. They enjoy calm environments, predictable routines, and spaces where they can rest comfortably. Apartment or condo living suits them well as long as they receive regular outdoor breaks and companionship. They balance independence with affection and appreciate having their humans close throughout the day. Overall: Lexie and Codey are a bonded pair of gentle, loyal seniors who bring warmth, sweetness, and peaceful companionship wherever they go. They complement each other beautifully — one calm and observant, the other social and devoted — and together they offer a comforting, heartwarming presence. They’re ready to share their golden years with a family who will cherish their soft spirits and give them the loving home they deserve. Are you the one for this pair? If so, visit www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org to fill out an adoption application. If it seems like it could be a good match, their foster family will reach out with more information. Their adoption donation is $250 for BOTH PUPS. ##2709875##

Story
Hi, my name is Max! I am 7 years old, and sweet as can be. I love snuggles on the couch, walks in my neighborhood, and car rides! I can’t wait to find my forever home. I am fully house trained, and obedience trained! I do great on a leash, and am very food motivated so I learn quickly. I do have anxiety, so need to be in a home with no children or loud noises. I also have IBD which I take medication for.
