Story
5/8/25 I've been in rescue for a long time. Yes I'm older, but I love to lay in the sun outside, and I still love my meals. I so want my own person for the rest of my days. Please consider giving me a place to rest my head. Several years ago a good samaritan in Nashville saved me, I was running down the road. She took me in for 3 years, but couldn't afford to take me to the vet. I developed skin and ear issues so she reached out for someone to take me, and here I am getting the health care I need and responding very well. Yes I'm mostly blind, but I'm a gentle fellow that enjoys being petted. I could spend the day sitting on a lap being company and enjoying a persons company. I'm quiet and I would be fine in a small home with a small fenced yard because I love to sit in the sun and snooze.

Story
Seeking a Loving Home for a Senior Shih Tzu Help Provide a Golden Retirement for a Gentle Soul We are searching for a kind-hearted family or individual to open their home and heart to a gentle 16-year-old Shih Tzu in need of a loving place to spend their golden years. This sweet companion has offered a lifetime of loyalty and affection to my elderly mom who is now entering a nursing home and unable to care for this sweet little girl and deserves the comfort and warmth of a caring environment. If you are someone who appreciates the quiet joys of senior dogs and can provide the patience, tenderness, and stability this special pup deserves, please consider welcoming them into your life. Your compassion could mean everything to a little dog seeking peace and belonging in their twilight years.

Story
LOOKING FOR A GOOD LEADER:  Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 11 lbs.  Hi there, I’m Leonard!  I somehow ended up at animal control, so I was happy when I heard that Mostly Mutts was coming for me.  It’s taken me some time to settle in with so many changes and so many people here, but I’m coming along, and they are learning more about me.  I’m looking forward to finding a home with a dog savvy good leader as I can be temperamental as some Shih Tzus are. I am not a first-time kind of dog.  • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and wasn’t ready to play with them, but I also didn’t show any aggression, so if you have a nice lower key type of dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / A home without kids is best as I can be nippy when I’m unsure about things.     • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a calm-natured, somewhat timid little guy who likes it when the volunteers take their time with me so I can get to know and love them and then show them my cute and sweet little nature.  In the temporary foster home I visited, I didn’t jump on or off the furniture, though I did like sitting up there with them.  I think I may need some extra time to feel at home as noises in the home startled me, especially at nighttime. I did some growling at sounds I don’t think I understood, and I did nip a finger when being petted on the couch. I think that everything is just a bit new and overwhelming to me, so I have used my teeth when uncomfortable with a situation. I do bark a good bit at the shelter, so no apartment/condo type home please. / My current energy level is 3-4.  It may increase a little once I settle into my new home and feel at home.   • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and look forward to learning a lot with my trainer!  Check back soon to see what I've learned. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts, and I like it when the volunteers let me come out of it on my own. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule with very few accidents, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I like it when the volunteers give me a few minutes to get to know them. I also like when folks get down on my level to leash me.  I enjoy climbing in laps and when people talk sweetly to me.  I’m sure we’ll find lots of other things we will enjoy doing together. / I don’t like being rushed and I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I have an unusual, some say “wonky,” gate to my step.  It’s been checked out medically and no issues were found, so I guess it’s just my walk.  It does not seem to cause me pain.  I do not need long walks as a result, just a short one will do to go out to the bathroom. I’m taking a good over-the-counter joint supplement daily and I like it in a little piece of cheese, please.  I’m looking for a great family that will be my leader, love me and take great care of me furever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.  July 1, 2025, 6:59 am

Story
Meet August! Back in early May, we made a visit to a metro area shelter after they had sent out an urgent plea for help. As we were walking through the back rooms of the shelter, where the public doesn’t go, August caught our attention. Not because he was acting crazy trying to get attention, but because he didn’t even lift his head to look at us as we approached his kennel. Not sure if he was scared or shy or what was going on, we opened up his kennel and found that he was actually very sick. As we held him, we could feel him wheezing - he had the dreaded upper respiratory infection so so common in that shelter. There was no way we were leaving him there! Fast forward several weeks and August, affectionately known as Auggie, is all healed and perfectly healthy! He’s an 8ish year old Shih Tzu (mix?) and around 15 lbs. We don’t know anything about his past, but we are pretty sure someone loved him at some point and took him on lots of car rides - if his foster family even looks in the direction of the garage, this boy is ready to GO! Unfortunately, we’re also pretty sure he’s been mistreated in the past as well as he seems to have conflicting feelings on people. Auggie is absolutely the sweetest boy once he knows and trusts you, but he is going to need a dog savvy adopter who will let him settle in at his own pace. He’s great with other dogs and cats, but he has more of a take it or leave it attitude with both - so he would likely do just fine as an only fur child or equally fine joining an existing pack. Ultimately, Auggie’s dream home is a quiet, adult only home without a lot of commotion or strangers coming and going. A single adult looking for a soulmate to run errands with and then curl up on the sofa for quality tv time would be Auggie’s dream come true! Interested in seeing if dear August might be what’s been missing from your life? Email adrienne@rescuemega.org or fill out an adoption application on our website- www.rmgdogs.org PLEASE NOTE: August is not available for adoption to households with children - 18 and up only ##2446898##
