Story
Bonsai has the cutest little face, don't you think?! He has the most expressive eyes and those toofers are just too much! Bonsai is a 4 year old Shih Tzu mix and he weighs about 16 pounds. He warms up well to other dogs and has started playing with a ball or squeaky toys, too! He is nervous around new people, but he is getting braver every day! Everything is new to Bonsai, but he's getting used to wearing his harness and going to the bathroom outside. He likes to spend time in his crate since it's his safe space! He seems to take comfort in the company of another dog, so we think he will transition best into a home where he has a little dog buddy to show him around. He follows his foster mom around, taking in the routine. Between his curiosity and his food motivation, we're sure he'll adapt and become the best little companion! If you're as smitten with Bonsai's little mug as we are, submit an application! Bonsai's adoption fee is $350

She gives great kisses and will like your hand or cheek to show you her appreciation :) She's doing well with crate training, and making potty training progress, too. Her dream is to be someone's lap dog, and she hopes to join a home where she will get lots of attention! Apply to meet Berlin and her Whoville tail and teefers will keep you smiling, we promise!

Story
Bear! This little guy is a 2 year old, 12.3 pound Shih Tzu mix! Bear is good with other dogs and he is getting used to meeting new people and experiencing new things in his foster home. He's working on training and doing well with his crate and potty training! He's also getting used to wearing a harness so he can start leash training. He likes to spend time with his canine foster brother, cuddling up or running and playing outside. He has also started to play with his squeaky toys! Since living in a home is new to Bear, he is looking for a patient adopter who will patiently draw him out of his shell, and work on training at his pace and comfort level. He hopes to find a loving home and would love to have a well-adjusted resident dog pup to continue showing him the way. He has the cutest little face with the most expressive eyes! He's very quiet and curious, and will be a wonderful companion as he gains confidence and let's his personality shine! Please submit an application to meet Bear if you think he's the pup for you! Bear's adoption fee is $400
