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.

Story
Meet Bobby! He is estimated to be about 3 years old, weighs 13.5 lbs, and is believed to be a Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix. . He’s white with tan spots and gray ears. Bobby does shed but allows his foster mom to brush him daily like the good boy he is. Bobby is a big-time cuddler. While he’s not quite comfortable being picked up yet, he’ll happily crawl into your lap when you sit down. He’s still settling in and tends to be quiet and observant. He follows his foster mom around the house but is becoming comfortable enough to lounge independently on the couch or bed. We believe he would do ok with children. He can be cautious around new people though and may need some time and patience to adjust. He is crate trained and getting the hang of potty training. He is starting to notify his foster mom when he needs to go out. Bobby is very agile and can jump quite high, so he could easily escape a gated or penned area. He is doing okay in a crate and walks well on a leash. He isn’t playing with toys yet, and squeaky toys definitely aren’t his thing. He’s a good boy and doesn’t resist when being brushed. Bobby is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. Bobby is a sweet boy who is ready to find a loving forever home where he can truly shine.

Story
Bear is an adorable male Shih Tzu/Lhasa Terrier mix with a DOB of approximately 12/17/25. This sweet boy had a rough start — he, his parents and his brother were sadly left behind when their owner moved away. Unfortunately, his brother passed away before being transported to our rescue. Thankfully, Bear's wonderful mama, Lola, has taken amazing care of him every step of the way. Now Bear is ready to find his very own forever family! He is a playful, curious little guy who loves exploring the world around him. Whether he’s investigating new toys or bouncing around during playtime, Bear brings joy wherever he goes. He’s the perfect mix of fun and sweetness. Bear should be just the right small size when fully grown — his mama weighs around 8 lbs and his dad, Bobby, is 13.5 lbs. (And yes, his dad, Bobby, is also available for adoption! His mom Lola will be available for adoption in the near future.) If you’re looking for a small, loving, and playful companion to grow with your family, Bear might be your perfect match. Bear is up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. His spay/neuter procedure will be covered by the rescue at 6 months of age when completed through one of our approved veterinary clinics.

Story
Meet Buddy — Our Sweet One-Eyed Wonder! Buddy is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu (19 lbs) with a heart full of love and a personality that will steal yours. He might be a little shy at first due to his eye loss, but give him a few moments, and he’ll warm up right away. Buddy loves lounging by your side, playing with toys, and enjoying his favorite snacks. He’s calm, affectionate, and just waiting to be your loyal companion. Buddy gets along beautifully with other dogs and would do well in a home with respectful kids who are patient as he adjusts to new surroundings. He is also housetrained and leash trained! He is neutered, up to date on shots, de-wormed, and micro-chipped. Let’s find Buddy the forever home he deserves — a place full of love, patience, and cozy cuddles!

Story
Emily is looking for sponsors! She is a 10 pound, female shih-tzu born on 12/05/21. Emily was released by a breeder who decided they did not need her anymore. She lived in a cage at the breeder most of her life and has recently started to learn about being in a home with her foster mom. Unfortunately, she is very skittish and scared of everything around her and needs more time to decompress. We hope she gets better with time and can become adoptable.
