Story
Meet Dan - De - Lion (or Dan) This adorable scruffy little guy is estimated to be around 8 years old and weighs just 10lbs. Maybe Shih Tzu, maybe Chihuahua, maybe a little bit of both - whatever he is, he’s absolutely precious. ❤️ Dandelion was dealt a rough hand (or paw). He was found alone after surviving a coyote attack and later was diagnosed with probable Cushing’s disease. Thankfully, he’s currently doing very well on meds given just once daily. Dan is the definition of a sweet companion. He loves people, attention, belly rubs, snacks, and simply being near his humans. He’s quiet, friendly, walks nicely on a leash, and doesn’t mind relaxing alone in his pen when needed. He has been fully vetted, including recent lab work and a dental, and is officially ready to find the forever family he deserves. Dandelion is dog friendly with calm, respectful dogs, though he’s more interested in peacefully coexisting than playing. After everything he’s been through, we would love nothing more than to see this little survivor finally get his happy ending.

Story
Dusty is an adorable 3-year-old special needs Shih Tzu. He was abandoned in our lobby by his owner because she could no longer care for him. He was so confused as to what was going on, but he slowly began to trust. Dusty was so heavily matted we could barely see him, but when the veterinarians shaved his fur, they noticed his left eye had glaucoma. His eye was removed and he is recovering in his foster home. Missing one eye has not slowed him down. He is very inquisitive of everything around him. He is in a foster home with 4 other furry brothers and sisters.

Story
Clark is a sweet, loyal dog. He is a 7 year old shmorkie who we got at 2 weeks old. Clark gets along well with our 11 year old Shih Tzu, but dogs he is unfamiliar with, he will bark and be unfriendly. When we had our twins in 2021 Clark began being more anxious where he would hide under the bed/behind the couch and have uncharacteristic accidents in the house. We figured as the kids grew up Clark’s behavior would change, but he is still a very anxious and not his old self. We also moved from a 4 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard to a condominium with much less space. We love Clark and want him to have a happy life, so we’ve decided to rehome him. Clark would thrive in a situation with no kids as the only animal. He needs space, preferably a yard to run around and just lay in the sun.
