Story
We took William in after I dog sat for him a few times and his owner couldn’t keep him anymore. He’s a great dog, good with everyone, kids, pets etc. We are too busy with our schedules to keep him. He’s an old man that is so sweet. We want him to find a loving home that can spend time with him more than we can. He will lay next to you or on your lap all day if allowed

Story
Meet Leo, my sweet and lovable Shih Tzu boy. It truly breaks my heart to rehome him due to an upcoming move, but I’m hoping to find him the perfect forever home. Leo is calm, gentle, and full of affection. He loves to cuddle, play, and be close to his people. He gets along well with both people and other pets, and his easygoing nature makes him a joy to have around. Leo is smart, well-behaved, and would be the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal and loving best friend.

Story
Hi, my name is Malaya. I weigh 14lbs. I am very loving and playful! I understand simple commands such as "sit, no, inside, get in the cage, out, lets go" and a few others. I am outdoor potty trained, and I typically only require two walks a day, morning and night preferably. I am up to date on vaccinations as well, however I am not spayed. I am super calm and great with children! I will bring all of my current food, bedding, etc. with me as well. I am such a great dog and deserves a loving home. I would love to set up a meet and greet! Please, serious inquiries only!

Story
8 year old Male Shih-TzuMeet Tiny, an 8-year-old Shih Tzu in search of a new forever home after the passing of his owner. Tiny weighs 13 pounds, is fully housebroken, and is a quiet, gentle boy. He is a true companion dog who loves being by your side, soaking up belly rubs, and going for leisurely walks. Tiny needs a one-story home or apartment. While he can manage going up stairs, his short legs make it difficult for him to go down. He gets along with other dogs but doesn’t actively interact with them and seems happiest as the only dog in the home. Tiny’s ideal home would be with someone who enjoys taking him for walks, has plenty of love to give, and is looking for a loyal companion who will give that love right back .     *** Adoption Fee includes: Surgery for spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test, fecal, current on vaccines, heartworm and flea/tic prevention. Dogs Rule Rescue Group is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. We are an all volunteer rescue group, and survive solely on donations. 100 % of all adoption fees are spent on saving the life of homeless and abandoned dogs.

Story
Fuji is a gorgeous Shih Tzu, about 8 1/2 years old and 15 pounds. Despite his adorable looks, Fuji has been waiting for his angel for a very long time. He needs a single person, with no other pets, who is extra kind, patient, and compassionate, who truly wants to give a special boy a chance, and doesn't mind when he occasionally misbehaves. For the most part, Fuji is a wonderful boy who loves to hang out with people, receive affection and belly rubs, and go for walks. On a rare occasion, something sets him off and he bites. This has occurred when he was in a home with 2 people, and it's possible that he was being protective of his favorite person, although we cannot know for sure. At the rescue, when with one person, Fuji is friendly, nice, and delightful to be with. He certainly deserves a chance at a happy life, and we believe this is a definite possibility with the right person. We know there is someone out there for him, with experience and the willingness to try. Please watch the video, at the end of the photos, to see Fuji showing all his best attributes.  If you are considering opening your heart and home to Fuji, please put in an application today, and call Harriet at 954-680-6456.    October 22, 2025, 6:29 pm
