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 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 older kids who are patient as he adjusts to new surroundings. When first introduced to new people he prefers to be the one to go to them and can get nervous with fast movements. He is housetrained and leash trained!He is up to date on shots, de-wormed, micro-chipped and will be neutered soon. His adoption fee is $450. Let’s find Buddy the forever home he deserves — a place full of love, patience, and cozy cuddles!Apply here: https://tinyurl.com/4u3tuy5c-Due to the high volume of applications, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet.

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.

Story
Meet Cheeto! If you’re looking for the master of side-eye, Cheeto is your guy. This handsome dude will keep you laughing daily with his expressions and personality alone. Cheeto is great with dogs, cats, and kids, and yes — he knows he’s good-looking. He’s hoping for a forever home with someone who’s home more often than not, because he truly thrives with companionship. Cheeto hasn’t had the easiest start in life. He survived being shot and hit by a car, and later required FHO (a surgical procedure that removes the head and neck of the femur of the dog with hip issues that limit their mobility, ultimately restoring mobility) surgery. The good news? He’s fully recovered and doing well Due to his past injuries, Cheeto may occasionally knuckle (knuckling, occurs when a paw curls under, forcing the dog to walk on the top of its paw rather than the pads) on one leg, usually when he’s trying to move too fast or run. He instantly corrects it. It doesn’t stop him from enjoying life — it’s just part of what makes him him. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard and not many stairs. Cheeto is resilient, loving, and ready to trade his rough past for a future full of comfort, laughs, and love. Cheeto * 4-5 years old * 32lbs * neutered * microchipped * up to date on shots * crate trained * housetrained 💥Apply at: HAH Adoption Application 💥Follow us on Facebook: HAH Facebook
