Story
Mushu- 4 month old shitzu mix who will likely be 15 pounds full grown. We do it know what day was or how much this girl will shed. A little pup full of joy! Sweet little Mushu only takes on her dragon persona when finding "treasures" to bring back to her lair! She loves her little collection of toys and socks, plays beautifully with other dogs and little kids, and is not a "hyper" puppy. She is still working on house training but goes potty well outside. She loves her crate, snacking on carrots, and finding little cuddle spots where she can chew on her treasures! Mushu is a happy little sweetheart who will make the perfect family dog and best friend!   Please visit our website www.forgoodrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Cocoa Male Shih Tzu Five years old Seventeen pounds House broken Leash trained Gets along with kids, dogs and possibly cats Sleeps in bed with foster and personal dog Needs to be on leash or in a fenced yard Racine Wisconsin Barb - skijour2@hotmail.com Cocoa I’m pleased to introduce you to Cocoa, the perfect gentleman! He’s a five-year-old Shih Tzu, in good health (no diarrhea or vomiting) other than an adorable underbite. Cocoa is a puppy mill release who I’m sure was a house dog before being in the mill. He was house broken as soon as I brought him into my home. He’s not fond of snow or rain but typically will go out just far enough to take care of business. Cocoa is good with other dogs and is quite playful. He enjoys wrestling and tug with my dog. He enjoys walks, is not reactive to other dogs out walking and wants to meet everyone! Cocoa will be neutered on January 15th and will be available for adoption afterwards. You can meet with him before that.

Story
Ok what about this: Hello my name is Gidget. I am a beautiful white and black, 8-10 year old Shihtzu. I am a little shy of new people. I will need someone willing to guide me on a path to a better life. I am working on potty training She does not approach people by choice right now, but is working on it. Once picked up she wags her tail and acts excited. She will sit on my lap for a short period of time. She ignores my cats and I think would be fine with another older dog. She does not like puppies jumping around her. She sleeps in a puppy pen with a potty pad on a soft blanket and a costume She likes to snuggle with the last foster home gave me. She does not mind her ears cleaned or her nails trimmed. Located in Mt. Pleasant, WI with her foster Maggie. Adoption fee required.
