Story
Hi, I'm Midnight. I'm a happy girl who has been spoiled my whole life. I lived in a busy household with lots of kids and other animals. Unfortunately, my owner could not afford my medical care and I developed a very large bladder stone that needed surgical removal. Now I'm feeling much better and ready for my new home. I can be a very vocal girl when I feel like I'm being ignored...so an apartment type home is probably not a good fit.

Story
Meet Jack Frost Don’t let the frosty name fool you — Jack Frost is pure warmth. At 13 years young, this sweet Shih Tzu gentleman has perfected the art of companionship. His favorite place in the whole world? Curled up next to you (or better yet, in your lap), soaking up snuggles and handing out soft little tail wags like they’re gifts. Jack isn’t just a dog — he’s a cozy, living, breathing best friend. He loves the simple things in life: leisurely walks around the neighborhood, sunny nap spots, gentle belly rubs, and being close to his people. Wherever you are, that’s exactly where Jack wants to be. Jack does have dry eyes that require daily drops, but don’t worry — he takes them like an absolute champ. No fuss, no drama, just one more reason he’s such an easy, lovable guy to care for. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys their company, though when it comes to mealtime, he politely prefers his food to himself (and honestly, who can blame a distinguished gentleman for wanting to savor dinner in peace?). Jack Frost may be a senior, but his heart is full of love and his spirit is as sweet as ever. He’s past the puppy chaos and fully committed to the good life: cuddles, companionship, and quiet moments with his favorite human. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow, a professional snuggler, and a gentle soul to warm your days, Jack Frost is ready to melt your heart. Come meet him — he’s saving a spot right next to you. 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 $200 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2650952##

Story
Allow us to introduce Grandpa Leo, a charming 12-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart as big as his personality. Life has given him a few bumps along the way — including the loss of one eye — but don’t let that fool you. This little gentleman still struts around with quiet confidence and plenty of love to give. Leo is a cautious little guy who takes his time getting to know new people and surroundings. Once he trusts you, though, you’ll see the sweetest side of him — the one that melts into his favorite bed for a long nap or enjoys gentle pets along his back. He’s happiest when life moves at a calm, steady pace with plenty of comfy blankets and cozy corners. True to his “grandpa” nickname, Leo likes attention on his terms and won’t hesitate to toddle over when he’s ready for some affection. He’s not a fan of having his face fussed with, but he enjoys soothing rubs and scratches along his body, especially after a quiet stroll or during a peaceful afternoon. Because Leo treasures tranquility, he’d do best in a home without children — somewhere serene where he can snooze, explore at his own pace, and soak up love in a stress-free environment. This wise little Shih Tzu has earned a life of comfort, care, and dignity. If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow companion who will fill your days with soft snuggles, curious glances, and the occasional “grandpa grumble,” Grandpa Leo may just be the perfect match. Adopt Grandpa Leo — give this sweet senior the retirement home he deserves, full of naps, gentle love, and peaceful days.
