Story

Shih Tzu 3yo- DOB 09/15/21 14lbs Spayed/Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Current on flea & heartworm prevention Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you feel your family is a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered/contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive there for a meet and greet. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications & FAQ about our adoption process can be found on our website. Summer came into our program as a breeder release, still pretty young. Her dad is also in our program & featured for adoption on our website, his name is Hershey! (Check him out, too! Wouldn't it be cool if they found a home together.) When Summer came into her foster home, she was a bit spicy. She was confused, she wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. She was very timid & scared. Boy, has she really changed, she has flourished & bloomed! Once so scared, she willingly goes to her foster mom & seeks companionship & cuddles from her. She will do best in a calm, low activity home. A home that is willing to patiently allow her to adjust & get used to her forever environment. Going into a new home will be another change for Summer, but she is very brave & we know that she will successfully make the transition if given a chance. She will do best learning from other 4-legged siblings, we would like to see her find a home with some friends of similar size & energy level. She follows her foster siblings around, she likes to play with them very gently, no rough housing. She also enjoys chewing on bones & will keep herself content while doing so. In her foster home, she has proven to be 100% house trained. We are so proud of her. With that said, her new family must understand she could have a few accidents until she gets her new routine down. Please be prepared to give her ample opportunity for success, praise her when she does it right, & be patient with her. Summer does great wearing a harness. But that's it. She will wear the harness like a diamond necklace, but she refuses to walk on leash. We know that eventually she will have a breakthrough, but it is not right now! Therefore, for her safety (& for her to be able to do her potty business immediately upon adoption), a secure physical fence yard is required. An aluminum or slat type of fencing will need a gap filler around the bottom half so she can't get through, something like galvanized wire mesh or another sturdy mesh type material. She isn't an outdoor adventure dog; she doesn't need a big yard. But she does need a very secure area to do her potty business. Never EVER should she be left in the yard alone. If you don't have another dog, please consider adopting Hershey & Summer. They get along famously, they love each other! We look forward to matching Summer with her forever family soon!

Story

This little 10-year-old sweetheart weighs just about 10 pounds and is the definition of a cozy companion. He loves nothing more than curling up in a warm lap and soaking in all the cuddles he can get. If you’re looking for a calm, loving presence by your side, he’s your guy. He does best in a quieter home and is good with older animals and respectful children, especially those who understand giving him space when he needs it. He can be a bit grumpy with high-energy pets or overly hands-on kids, so a mellow household is ideal. As a senior, he is hard of hearing and has cataracts in both eyes, but he navigates familiar spaces well and is still full of love. He may not hear you call his name, but he’ll feel your touch and gladly snuggle right in. This precious boy is looking for a patient, gentle home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort, love, and lots of lap time. 💙🐾

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I want A "FUR"ever" HOME! Read the FULL Bio to see where I am located and contact info: D2026017 Any senior lovers out there? Well, Chauncy is looking for a soft place to rest his head. He is a Shih Tzu weighing a little over 7lbs. Chauncy's former owner had to move to a nursing home and Chauncy found himself in an animal control with his best friend, Willow. RCHS stepped in and took the two seniors in. Chauncy has some health issues we have been treating. First one is his eyes. He has what is called Microphthalmia (one eye being abnormally small, non-Functioning) in one eye and the other eye, he has suffered prolonged dry eye. He requires drops in both eyes, which leads us to the fact he is basically blind. The next issue is his teeth. He is in need of a dental, but right now he is not strong enough to be sedated. He is eating Little Ceasar right now and doing very well with it. Chauncy has been hanging out with Willow and enjoying his days. Please help us find him and Willow a place to enjoy the rest of their days. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
