Story
MEET RIDGE - A PERFECT LITTLE COMPANION!  (located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL) This little guy has just come into our care - an owner surrender.  He's cute as a button, and one of the best behaved dogs I have EVER fostered; doesn't bark, doesn't beg, can dance on his hind legs for treats - loves EVERYONE, gives nibble kisses, loves to play, loves other dogs (big & small), loves cats AND kids, comes when he is called AND loves being on your lap!    He is about 16 months old - and full grown at 6 lbs. - The breeder's papers say he is a Blue Shih Tzu. He is up to date on all vaccines, chipped and recently neutered!    Due to an old injury, he does have dry eye which requires drops daily. But he has a calm demeanor and lets you administer the drops with ease.   He is not totally housebroken - but in a home with less activity and more one-on-one time, we are confident he can be trained.   If you are interested in RIDGE, please email jmilbyer@gmail.com for an application - This little fella won't last long... and upon approval, we can arrange for you to meet him.  He is currently living in Ft. Lauderdale, FL       Adoption fee $400 Email for an application: jmilbyer@gmail.com NOTE: Adoption fees are applied towards the vet bill: exam, blood tests, vaccinations, fecal, worming, spay/neuter, and microchip. There is rarely anything left over, but if that happens, the monies get applied to the next or previous pet- who may have had to have an x-ray, be groomed or have a dental.November 18, 2025, 11:26 am

Story
Grizzy is the definition of a sweetheart. This calm, tender boy is happiest in the comfort of a warm lap, where he can soak up affection and offer quiet companionship in return. With his soft eyes and even softer personality, Grizzy has a way of making anyone who meets him feel instantly at ease. He moves through life with the wisdom and gentleness that only a senior dog can bring. No drama, no fuss—just kindness, cuddles, and the peaceful presence of a loyal friend. Grizzy adores being close to his people, whether he’s resting quietly by your side or snoozing contently during a cozy evening in. He’s looking for a loving home where he can enjoy gentle days, soft blankets, and plenty of lap time. In return, Grizzy will give you unwavering companionship and the kind of love that fills a home with warmth. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $150 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2592016##

Sweet 9 year old Shorkie. She’s a wonderful, loving dog. We are rehoming because she is afraid of our two larger dogs. She’d be especially wonderful for someone looking for a little companion to sit with them. She’s very sweet.

Story
Maxx is 13 years old , he spends most of his time in house, but enjoys take walks on the morning and evening. He is very quiet and he loves being petted. I will say sometimes he will get aggressive with other dogs that he doesn't know. Overall he is a very good dog and all my neighbors love him. My situation changed and I can't give him the attention that he needs.
