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
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. 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 ##2662814##
