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
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.

Story
 Teddy is a sweet 13 year 9 months old Shih tzu that weighs 16 lbs. The poor boy had a owner for 10 years until she had to go into a nursing home then he moved to another apartment in the same building for 2 years until that new mom got sick and could no longer take care of him. We didn't know if he would be happy in a foster home because of all the dogs there but he fits right in and has been amazing. He has found his spot to sleep in his dog bed and seems to love the hectic household. It took him a couple weeks to want to jump up and sit in the lounge chair but that's his favorite place to be. Teddy has been recently diagnosed with small kidney stones so he has been put on a special dry dog food diet. The vet seems to think the new diet will clear up his stones. You would never know that Teddy is 13+. He gets the zoomies and just runs around the house. Teddy would love to have a final home where he can be loved on and treated like the special boy that he is. If you would like to be that person please apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/. Teddy's adoption fee is $300. He has been neutered, microchipped, current on core vaccines, and on heartworm and flea prevention. ##2048021##

Story
Chevron – 4–5 Year Old Shih Tzu Located in Decatur, IL leiashope.org Chevron is a joyful little Shih Tzu who is learning just how wonderful life can be as a beloved pet. After surviving life in a puppy mill, he is discovering cozy beds, loving people, and the simple happiness of carrying his favorite toy around the house like a prized treasure. He proudly shows it off to his foster mom as if to say, “Look what I have!” True to his Shih Tzu nature, Chevron’s favorite place to be is right near his person. He loves to stretch out in a perfect little sploot with his back legs behind him, snores sweetly while he sleeps, and flashes the most adorable underbite that makes everyone smile. He enjoys playing with other dogs and often curls up with a buddy in a dog bed for a nap. Chevron does have a couple small medical quirks that don’t slow him down. One of his eyes sits slightly more prominent due to a shallow orbital socket diagnosed by the vet. He also has mild dry eye and currently receives an over-the-counter eye moisturizer a few times a day. The drops are inexpensive, and he is very cooperative about taking them. As he ages, he may eventually require prescription eye drops, but for now he seems to understand that his medications help him feel better. At bedtime, Chevron prefers to sleep near his person. If he can’t share the bed, he does best sleeping in a crate in the same room. When crated alone, he will bark most of the night—and no one gets any rest! Being close to his people helps him feel secure. Chevron will require routine grooming every six weeks with brushing in between appointments. He is very good for brushing and grooming. His eyes should also be gently wiped daily to keep them clean and comfortable. Chevron’s adoption fee is $400. He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, recently received a dental, and takes monthly heartworm prevention. We are a volunteer-run rescue and all of our dogs are cared for in foster homes. Please allow 7–10 business days for application processing. Meet and greets are scheduled only after an application is approved and take place at the dog’s location. All family members, including resident dogs, must attend. We do not provide transport, and adopters must travel to the dog’s location for adoption. If flying, the dog must ride in the cabin. Adopters should be prepared to love and care for Chevron for the remainder of his life—8+ wonderful years ahead. Applications at leiashope.org. Located in Decatur, IL.
