Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She is super sweet shy obviously very inquisitive with other dogs. She’s not sure about going potty outside so far but we’ll see how that comes along. She’s been in a kennel with a potty pad. Super excited when she sees me starts wagging her tail barking at foster and making sure she’s not left behind. Foster is a groomer and she spends most of her day at the salon. For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org/adopt-a-dog The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long group training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home.

Story
Hi, I’m Jay! I’m a sweet 3-year-old Shih Tzu boy weighing in at a perfectly portable 15 lbs! I’m pretty much the total package - I’m housebroken, I know lots of commands (I’m basically a genius), and I’m great with kids! I LOVE playing out in the yard, and belly rubs are my love language - I’m just an all-around sweet, snuggly guy who would happily spend all day curled up in your lap. A couple of things my future family should know: I take my job as official doorbell and outside-noise alert system very seriously — so if someone’s coming or going, you’ll know about it! And since I do like to use my voice, condo living isn’t the best fit for me. I do great with other small pups, especially my fellow Shih Tzus — I’m just happiest being the biggest dog in the house (and I wouldn’t mind be the only dog too), so a home without large dog siblings would be my perfect match! If you’ve got a furry sibling at home, a meet-and-greet will be a must so we can make sure it’s a good match for everyone. If you’ve got a lap, a yard, and room in your heart for one more sweetheart, I’m your boy! Apply to adopt me at https://tinyurl.com/FCCRadoptionapp Adoption fee: $395

Story
Milo is a sweetheart who loves walks, car rides and playing with his toys! He does have separation anxiety of being left all alone at home. Milo is half Shitzu and half Bichon. He is 4 years old. He enjoys the company of small-medium sized dogs, school age children, and adults. He does need regular grooming every 6-8 weeks. Due to my work schedule and living arrangements, I need to find him a new home before the end of July, 2026.

Story
Meet Darla! Darla is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix with a heart as sweet as her adorable little face. This gentle girl is part of a very special four-pack that includes her friends Hector, Chia, and Poppy. Together, they make quite the charming crew! Darla is unimaginably sweet and loves being close to her people. She has a calm, loving personality and is happiest when she's receiving attention, snuggles, and affection. Despite a few medical challenges, Darla greets each day with a happy spirit and a wagging tail. Darla has a luxating patella, which occasionally causes her to hold up one of her back legs for a few moments. She is also taking Vetmedin for her heart, but neither of these things slow her down. She still enjoys exploring, spending time with her canine companions, and soaking up all the love she can get. Darla and her three best friends recently lost the person they loved most. Their owner adored them and had one final wish: that Hector, Chia, Poppy, and Darla remain together. They have spent their lives as a family, finding comfort and security in one another, and we hope to honor that wish by finding a very special adopter willing to welcome all four into their home. Are you brave enough to take on a four-pack of very cute little dogs? While adopting four dogs may sound like a big adventure, you'll be rewarded with four times the love, four times the cuddles, and four times the joy. These little dogs don't ask for much—just a soft place to sleep, a loving lap to curl up in, and the chance to stay together. If you have room in your heart and home for this devoted little family, Darla, Hector, Chia, and Poppy would love to meet you.
