Story
Lady Di is just her undercover alias. Around here she’s known as Cookie ( or Cooks, if you’re one of her friends ….which happens to be everyone:). This 11 month old 10 lb shih tzu is serving up serious cookies and cream perfection with her adorable and less sheddy black and white coat. She’s as sweet as can be and everyone loves her….just like a cookie. Kids? Loves them. Dogs? Loves alll her foster friends and there are six plus a cat and two kittens. Now…for the headline you’ve all been waiting for….. * COOKIE IS POTTY TRAINED! Not mostly, not working on it…actually potty trained…like she goes to the front door or back and scratches on it to go out. Hallelujah! I been fostering a loooooong time and this is gift I tell you. Cookie isn’t your typical wild child pup. She’s very calm unless she see’s a cat or squirrel. With the squirrels …her intentions are questionable... so no squirrel friends!! She loves a nice short walk outside ,but will also cuddle up on the couch. She is crate trained, but would rather sleep in your bed and has earned the right with those excellent potty skills…. I mean she is a LADY after all. She’s a sweet ,gentle gal with great manners ready to steal your heart and for sure your spot on the sofa. Hope you are ready!!! Local adoption fee is $450 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Honeybun & Luna – A Bonded Pair! Looking for twice the love? Meet Honeybun and Luna, a sweet mother-daughter duo who have spent their entire lives together and are looking for a home where they can stay side by side. Honeybun is 10 years old, and Luna is 5 years old. These adorable Shih Tzu mixes were surrendered when their owner could no longer care for them due to financial concerns. They have never been separated, and their bond is incredibly special. Because of this, Honeybun and Luna must be adopted together. Both girls can be a little nervous when first meeting new people and will need time to feel comfortable in their new home. Once they learn to trust you and settle in, their wonderful personalities truly shine! Honeybun is a playful and affectionate senior girl who loves to run, play, and soak up the sunshine with a good sunbathing session. She enjoys small toys and loves relaxing next to her people while watching TV. Luna is a fun-loving, playful pup with a big personality! She loves to jump and catch things, is very talkative, and enjoys expressing herself. She loves giving hugs and kisses, uses her paws to ask for attention, and has the cutest habit of burrowing under blankets for cozy naps. Together, Honeybun and Luna are the perfect mix of companionship, fun, and love. They are looking for a patient family who will give them the time they need to adjust and allow them to continue their journey together. Honeybun & Luna’s combined adoption fee is $245.00. Could you be the forever home these two best friends have been waiting for?
