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 Lady!Lady is an 11-year-old Shih Tzu who is ready to spend her golden years surrounded by love. She is 13 lbs.This sweet girl was found as a stray along a country road in Indiana. We can only imagine what she may have been through, but despite her past, Lady is incredibly sweet, gentle, and loving.Lady has been such a good girl since coming into our care. She has barely made a peep and has not barked at all! She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is happiest simply being near her people. Her favorite way of saying hello is with her many, many happy tail wags.Lady is spayed and recently had a dental. She only has a couple of teeth remaining, so she will need to stay on soft food. But don’t let that stop you from considering this wonderful senior girl—she has plenty of love left to give.Lady isn’t looking for anything complicated. She just needs someone who will give her a safe, comfortable home where she can relax, be loved, and enjoy her golden years.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. If selected, we require a phone interview, virtual house check, and meet and greet with your entire family.
