Story
Jojo is a 3 year old female Shih Tzu/Bichon mix that needs a new home. Weighing in around 12 lbs, she is a very friendly and playful girl, but her constant allergy problems need more attention than our family can give. She is great with kids and loves to play fetch. She is potty trained and also accustomed to being in a crate for periods of time, if needed. She was purchased from a breeder in the Atlanta area. She is microchipped and current on vaccinations. Please let me know if you want a loving companion and have time to give her to extra attention she needs.

Story
Hi, I’m Bear I might look like a big brave guy, but truthfully, I’m a gentle soul who just needs a little time to feel safe. When I first came to my foster home, I was very nervous — especially around men. I wanted to be friendly, but I wasn’t quite sure if I could trust everyone yet.The good news? I’m getting braver every single week.At first, I wouldn’t sit with my foster mom for very long. Now? I’ve just started climbing right into her lap (which I think is a big accomplishment!). I’m still working on feeling completely comfortable, but I’m trying my best.I’m a very sweet and quiet boy. I hardly ever bark — just a few times since I’ve been here. I’m not destructive at all, and I’m perfectly fine relaxing on my own if you need to step out for a few hours. I like having my calm, cozy space.I’m housebroken and I try really hard. I did have a few accidents when I first arrived, but that’s pretty normal in a new place. Recently, if there are people outside in the yard, I get a little too nervous to go out — and that’s when I might have an accident. With patience and reassurance, I know I’ll keep improving.What I’m really looking for is someone patient and kind who understands that building trust is a journey. Once I feel safe, I’ll show you just how loving and loyal I can be. Lap sitting is just the beginning. If you give me time, I promise I’ll give you my whole heart.xo Bear

Story
Meet Mason!Mason is a 2-year-old Lhasa Apso mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of potential. He came from a very bad situation and is very shy and will need a lot of time and patience. He was never socialized with people so they are very scary for him. He requires another young dog in the home to keep him brave. He will not do well with children and needs a calm, patient home where he can continue to blossom.    ##2409831##

Story
Bailey is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu with a gentle soul and a big love for naps and cuddles. He’s the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle and lots of cozy time. Bailey is house trained and does well with kids and other dogs, though he prefers lounging over playing at this stage of life. Due to recent changes in our family dynamic, we’re unfortunately no longer able to provide the level of care and attention Bailey deserves. He is partially deaf and partially blind, but as of his most recent veterinary visit, he is otherwise in good health. Bailey continues to get around well and functions normally; he simply feels most comfortable staying close to his caretaker. Bailey is loving, calm, and incredibly sweet—a wonderful companion for someone looking to share quiet moments, companionship, and affection. He would thrive in a patient, loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and deeply loved during his golden years.
