Story
Hi there! I'm Patty Andrews, a 7-month-old ShihTzu mix with a white coat and tan markings, and I'm looking for my forever adventure! 🐾 Already spayed and full of puppy energy, I'm a friendly, playful girl who loves making new friends — both dogs and kids are my jam. My adventurous spirit and gentle nature mean I'll fit right into an active family looking for a pup who's always up for fun. My adoption fee is $500, and I can't wait to meet you! 💕 Our adoption process is usually quick but may take up to two weeks. When you find an animal you are interested in, we ask that you fill out an application on our website, PawsUp4Rescue.org/adopting as a first step so we can determine if your family is a good fit for the animal. If you are, then we will contact you to arrange a time for you and your family to meet the animal so you can decide if it is a good fit. If you currently have dogs, we require them to be present at the meeting to ensure it's a good fit all around. Once compatibility is determined, we move on to the paperwork and finalize the adoption. If the meet is not a good fit, we will keep your application on file for 6 months and will gladly consider your family for another dog.

Story
Adopt Chucky! Chucky is a typical Shih Tzu in the very best ways: he’s adorable, energetic, opinionated, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that life should happen on his terms. His estimated birthday is 8.18.2019. This little guy is potty trained, walks well on a leash, and loves being around his people and his foster siblings. He’s always ready for whatever you have planned. Want to go for a walk? He’s in. Want to run and play? Absolutely. Want to curl up and chill? He can do that too. Chucky just wants to be with you! He has done well with other dogs and really likes cats. When he sees a cat, he’ll sniff, watch, and try to engage them in play. He has also met kids 10 and older and seems to enjoy their attention and wants to play with them. When it comes to new people, Chucky can be a little unpredictable. Sometimes he warms up immediately, while other times he prefers to take a little time to decide how he feels. He has been slightly more hesitant around adult men, although that hasn't been a major issue. Chucky does have a few quirks that his adopter will need to understand. He is protective of his food and needs to eat separately from people and other pets. If someone approaches while he is eating, he may growl to let them know he wants to be left alone. He should be given space and allowed to enjoy his meals in peace. He can also be a little mouthy. Chucky has nipped a couple of times, including when startled, and on a couple of occasions the nip has barely broken the skin or hasn't broken it at all. He has a strong personality and likes things done his way, so his adopter will need to be patient, respectful of his boundaries, and willing to continue working with him. He can be handled for the most part, although he does not like being touched in a particular spot under his right arm. And if you're wondering how to win this little security guard over, Bocce biscuits might be a good place to start. Chucky is always watching his people and everything happening around him. He's basically your tiny personal security detail. Chucky is looking for an adopter who will appreciate his big personality, respect his boundaries, and give him the guidance he needs to be his best little self. Ready for an energetic, affectionate, slightly opinionated Shih Tzu who just wants to be part of everything? Adopt Chucky! Apply here: sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: Despite what PetFinder, AdoptAPet and other aggregation software systems state - the first step is to submit an application via the link above, NOT send a message through their platforms. Please also note that we are a foster based organization, so our animals could be located anywhere in the Chicagoland area. Thank you!)

Story
Hi, I’m Ivy I’m a 5-month-old Shih Tzu with a pink bow, a playful spirit, and so much love to give. I love toys. I love other dogs. Playtime is my happy place, and cuddles? Even better. I’m sweet, and always ready to be your little sidekick. I may be small, but my personality is mighty. I also want to share my story… I was going to be euthanized by my breeder — simply because I wasn’t “perfect.” Thankfully, a rescue stepped in and saved my life. Here’s my truth: I’m incontinent and I don’t have control of my back legs. I wear a diaper (and I’m very good about it!), need help with changes, and can’t do stairs. But none of that stops me from living a full, joyful life. I scoot wherever I want to go and don’t let anything dim my sparkle. I’m looking for a foster home or a forever family who sees my heart before my challenges. I’ll need a little extra care — and I’ll give you a lifetime of love in return. Dog meets welcome Kids welcome Cats unknown Located in Plainfield IL Ready to let a special girl steal your heart? I’m Ivy… and I’m ready to be yours Apply to foster or adopt: www.w2wrescue.com
