Story
Meet Benji, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu mix who weighs about 13 pounds and is equal parts gentle soul and devoted sidekick. He’s a friendly, outgoing, and adaptable little guy who finds his greatest joy in being close to his person. Whether he’s following you from room to room, curling up beside you for a nap, or soaking up all the pets you’re willing to give, Benji is happiest when he’s near his people. He enjoys short walks and spending time outside, though he prefers to keep things brief when the weather is too hot or too cold. He does well in his crate but has also earned the privilege of sleeping loose in the home. Benji does wear a belly band to help prevent marking indoors. He has done well with everyone he’s met, though he hasn’t been around children in our care. Benji also enjoys car rides and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, low-key buddy. Benji shares a special bond with his brother, Clark, and the two are looking for a home where they can stay together. Their connection is heartwarming, and they truly thrive with each other by their side. Benji brings a calm, cuddly presence, while Clark adds a bit of playful energy to the mix. Their combined adoption fee is $300, plus a $15 rabies transfer fee for McLean County residents. His minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
A little gentleman with a big heart, Mr. Rogers is a 10-year-old apricot and white Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who’s finally getting his second chance at the soft life he deserves. Found as a stray in rough shape—severely matted and clearly neglected—Mr. Rogers has left that chapter behind and is ready to write a much cozier story. At just 10 pounds, he’s the perfect lap-sized companion, and honestly… that’s exactly where he’d like to be. Mr. Rogers loves his people. Whether he’s being held like a baby or curled up quietly beside you, he’s happiest when he’s close. And when he wants a little extra love? He makes the absolute cutest tiny noises to ask for it—his own sweet little language that’s impossible to resist. He does have some quirks that make him extra special: * He sees well out of one eye * His hearing is limited * But none of that slows him down when it comes to loving his humans He gets along well with other dogs, rides nicely in the car, and is leash-savvy. He’s crate trained too—he may protest a little at first, but once he realizes you’ve stepped out, he settles in just fine. Mr. Rogers isn’t looking for a fast-paced life. He’s looking for you—a calm, loving home where he can feel safe, cherished, and never alone again. If you’ve got a soft spot for the quiet, soulful ones… Mr. Rogers is ready to be your neighbor. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $275. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. We are located in Bloomington, IL We do not ship, you would need to travel to pick up your babies if you live out of state. Your current pets must be up-to-date on core vaccines, spayed/neutered, and on heart worm prevention year round. You must be at least 21-years-old to adopt. Please have your veterinarian and two non-family reference phone numbers ready. The app makes you start all over if you leave the page to look up numbers. Better yet, help speed up the adoption process by also sending us your vet records, and having your references e-mail us at Deebysrescue@gmail.com For information about this dog's breed(s), visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/abc.htm

Story
Midge is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing in at a petite 12 pounds, and she’s packed with personality. This energetic, funny little lady is always ready to brighten your day with her playful spirit and charming antics. One look at her adorable underbite smile and you’ll quickly see why she leaves such an impression. Midge is incredibly people-oriented and happiest when she’s close to her humans. She’ll happily follow you from room to room, curl up on your lap, or even snooze on your leg, complete with soft little snores. She loves squeaky toys and can get delightfully wound up during playtime, especially after being outside. Once back inside, she may zoom around a bit before settling. She’s making progress with house training and tolerates the crate, though she’d much rather be out and near her people. Midge can experience some separation anxiety when left alone and would do best in a home where she gets plenty of companionship and activity throughout the day. Because she can be vocal, she’ll need a home without shared walls.  Midge is very friendly with people and does well with small dogs, but she’ll need guidance and patience when it comes to interacting with larger dogs. She hasn’t been exposed to children yet, so slow and respectful introductions would be important. This playful, affectionate girl is looking for a home that understands her need for connection, can help her continue building confidence, and will love her big personality in a small, adorable package. Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
