Meet Cody! Introducing Cody, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a gentle spirit and an old soul. He came to us as an owner surrender and is now on a journey toward comfort, trust, and love. A Sensitive Sweetheart Cody arrived very severely matted, which caused him pain and left him sensitive about grooming. Because of that experience, he can be hesitant at first—but once he warms up, his sweet and loving nature shines through. Loves One-on-One Time Cody truly thrives with calm, quiet companionship. He adores one-on-one attention and bonds deeply with his person. He’s happiest just relaxing nearby and soaking up love. Best in a Peaceful Home Cody would do best in a home without kids. He’s looking for someone who works from home or can spend plenty of time with him—someone who understands his need for patience and gentle care. An Old Soul With his laid-back personality and love for relaxation, Cody is the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, calm best friend. If you’re searching for a quiet, devoted companion with a heart full of love, come meet Cody. He’s ready to find his forever home ##2635695##

Story
    Meet Ellie Quinn: Professional Lounger, Part-Time Walker, Full-Time Sweetheart   Ellie Quinn is an adorable, low-key, very chill 8-year-old Shih Tzu who is ready to retire into her forever home. Her hobbies include laying around looking cute, going for leisurely walks, and winning over literally everyone she meets (kids, small dogs, big dogs—she’s not picky). She’s not a barker, not destructive, and honestly… kind of a unicorn. Ellie Quinn loves company but doesn’t demand attention 24/7—she’s totally fine hanging out on her own too. Basically, she’s the perfect roommate. At just 8.4 pounds, Ellie Quinn is small enough to fit anywhere but big enough to fill your heart. She’s microchipped, has a dental coming up, and is all set for her next chapter. If you’re looking for a calm, easygoing pup who will love you without chaos, drama, or chewed shoes—Ellie Quinn is your girl. Give this sweet senior a chance. We promise you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.  An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.          January 16, 2026, 9:29 am

Story
    Rosie Quinn is a super sweet, very mellow, little Shih Tzu and general all-around good girl.    Rosie Quinn is 3 years old and is just over 12 pounds. Her energy level is low to moderate, though she does have the occasional zoomies, and she’s always very excited when you return home.   She is gentle, polite and calm, has excellent house manners (no chewing shoes or household items), and is potty trained.    Rosie Quinn gets along with other dogs with proper introductions; she used to live with two other Shih Tzus. She walks and follows well on a leash. She seems to do fine riding in the car, but did grow restless after a long drive. She is a guardian and will growl or alert bark if she hears anyone unfamiliar come around; she does not normally bark otherwise.    Rosie Quinn is friendly, great with touching and a cuddle bug. She acts shy, but warms up quickly; she especially loves her people and just wants to be around them and keep them company. Pets, belly rubs and head scratches are always welcome; if you’re busy, like working from home for example, she’ll sit on the couch or the bed and just chill with you while looking cute.    Rosie Quinn doesn’t know any commands! We are starting to work on basic ones, but she will likely need training to learn and reinforce those. She is only mildly interested in kibble, but loves treats of all kinds, so her motivation can be directed into training.    Rosie Quinn would love to meet you!    An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Story
    Meet Cassie Quinn, a 7.5 year-old, Shih Tzu, 15-pound, bundle of joy who brightens every room she enters! This happy girl is always smiling - she grins with her whole face and keeps her tongue out like she’s posing for a photo. Her joy is contagious, and she’ll fill your home with love and laughter. Cassie adores being outside, going for walks, and running playful laps around the house during her daily zoomies. A fenced yard or plenty of indoor space to romp around would make her happiest, but not ra must. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys both leisurely strolls and bursts of playful energy.She is great on long car rides, either enjoying the scenery or napping. When it’s time to relax, Cassie loves lounging on her pet bed or playing quietly with her toys. She’s crate trained and sometimes tucks herself in at night, though she’s perfectly fine sleeping outside her crate too. Cassie is also both potty and pee-pad trained. She gets along well with small and medium dogs and previously lived with two Shih Tzus. Cassie would also be happy as an only dog. As long as she is cared for and loved, this little gal will be a happy little camper. Cassie is friendly with men, women, and kids of all ages, though she’s a bit shy at first and needs a moment to warm up. She’s best with families or active seniors who enjoy walks but can assist her with stairs—she manages short step-downs fine but can’t climb full flights. Cassie Quinn is a cheerful, affectionate companion who’s ready to share her endless smiles with a loving family—her happiness truly shines from the inside out!   An Adoption Application for this dog can be found and submitted online. http://www.angelsrescue.org/adopt/adoption-forms  Please be sure to like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/angelsrescue.  Email inquiry@angelsrescue.org  Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions.

Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
