Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Teddy & Bear Sugar and Spice and everything nice. These adorable 1-year-old Shih Tzu mixes are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together. Teddy and Bear share a special connection and truly thrive when they’re side by side — playing, cuddling, and exploring the world together.   Bear is sugar, sweet as can be. Teddy is spice, playful and inquisitive. Bear does have a cherry eye, and surgery to correct it will be included as part of his adoption package. ❤️ Once healed, he’ll be feeling his very best!   Both boys love running around the yard, chasing each other, and playing fetch with their toys. They’re big fans of chew bones and will happily entertain themselves — but their absolute favorite place to be is in your arms soaking up cuddles.   They can be shy and a bit skittish at first, but they’re improving every single day. Teddy seems to be just a little more outgoing, while Bear follows his lead. With patience and love, they continue to blossom into the sweetest little companions.   They’re pee pad trained and working on house training. They’re very gentle, love giving kisses, and they would do well with kind, respectful children.   If you’re ready to open your heart and home to double the love, Teddy and Bear are ready to meet you.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2026, 8:02 pm

We take the dogs that are adopted down...so if a dog is on the website they are available. Obedience training and fully fenced in yard is required for all our pups.   Completion certificate for training needs to be emailed once complete.  When applying pictures/videos of your fully enclosed yard is needed. Please only send inquiries to the email in this bio all others will not be answered. Please read the bio before sending questions - we answer all we know about the dog here. If the question is not answered in the bio please send emails to   info@HeidisLegacyDogRescue.com MEET VIOLET & FIONA — A BONDED PAIR WITH DOUBLE THE LOVE! Some things are simply better together… and Violet & Fiona are definitely a package deal. These adorable Shih Tzu girls are best friends, playmates, cuddle buddies, and each other’s little security blankets. Violet is the social butterfly of the duo — cheerful, playful, and always ready for some fun. She loves squeaky toys, wrestling with Fiona, and getting attention from her people. She can be a little opinionated when meeting unfamiliar dogs on leash (apparently she has standards ), but with patience and proper introductions, she settles in nicely. Fiona is the smaller, softer soul. She’s a little more cautious at first and looks to Violet for confidence and reassurance. Give her a little time to feel safe, though, and out comes an incredibly sweet, affectionate little cuddlebug. She loves her people, loves her routines, and REALLY loves her Violet. These two spend their days playing, wrestling, snuggling, and simply enjoying life together. They’re well-mannered girls who thrive with consistency and routine. ‍♀️ One funny little quirk: these ladies prefer to handle their potty business while out on walks rather than simply heading into the yard. They clearly believe a bathroom break should include a proper outing. Fiona may also have occasional urinary accidents, so she’ll need a family willing to give her frequent potty opportunities and a little patience while she adjusts. What they’re looking for most is a home where they can stay together and be loved for exactly who they are. With Violet bringing the confidence and fun and Fiona bringing the gentle sweetness, these two complement each other beautifully. ❤️ Two little dogs. Two very different personalities. One very special bond. Violet & Fiona are ready to find their forever family — together.
