Ariel

Shih Tzu Poodle (Miniature)

Female, 7 yrs 7 mos

Chicago, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ariel is an estimated 7 year old, tiny girl. Ariel came to us from one of our partner rescues after being released from a commercial breeder. She was extremely matted and unsocialized however she didn't let that stop her. All she wanted was to be by you, held, or laying on a comfortable bed. Ariel had a dental recently where we discovered just how bad her diet and lack of medical was. She has 14 teeth extracted (yikes, I know it sounds like a lot but dogs have a lot of teeth and she is eating GOOD) and had a bit of a recovery after this was done. Again, she did not let that stop her and she continued to prove that she is the sweetest and forgiving girl. She is crate trained, but when she is out she just finds her bed. She is not fully potty trained so she will need a home with patience and routine, this is to be expected when before coming to the rescue she had never lived in a home. She is looking to be someones companion and best friend. Ariel is adoptable within 3 years old Chicago. Her adoption fee includes her spay, dental, up to date vaccines and preventatives, and microchip. If you have any questions prior to applying please email adopt@chicagorescueauthority.org

Story

Benji is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of potential. He can be incredibly friendly, sweet, and loving, but sometimes his excitement gets the better of him, and he needs help learning when to settle down. Benji thrives in calm, adult-only environments where he can feel safe and supported. With patience, love, and structure, Benji’s true personality will shine, making him the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a dog with a little spunk and a lot of heart. Benji might do okay with other dogs or cats -- we will have a meet & greet to be sure.

Ari (PA) SWEET girl!

Shih Tzu Poodle (Miniature)

Female, Senior

Chicago, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ari is being fostered in PA. 5-12-2025 Ari did very well with her dental and lumpectomy. She had 12 teeth removed and her mass was benign. An update on her personality and potty skills: Ari is very predictable with her potty habits and only goes about 3 times a day. She sleeps completely through the night, eats her breakfast and then does her business so she can easily be taken outside to eliminate before her breakfast at lunch and then around her dinner time. If she does get up in the middle of her naps or at night, she will eliminate on a potty pad if it’s placed right by her bed. She adores lying beside her foster mom on the sofa and will nudge her hand for pets. She has yet to make a peep in her foster home. Ari is also has the softest fur ever! Little Ari is guessed to be about 12 years old and appears to be a shih tzu mix. She is a quiet, gentle, passive, loveable girl who loves her meals and can sleep like no other! She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages. She simply ignores other dogs and cats in her foster home and needs to be in a home with gentle pets and children because it does not appear like she will defend or stick up for herself. She is just as happy to snuggle up on the sofa as she is to find her bed for the day on the floor. She seems to enjoy sniffing all she can when she’s outside but may not make the best walk buddy, as she’d rather meander and smell things. She rides well in the car and tolerates her foster mom’s kisses very well. Ari is completely blind since she has no eyes and her hearing is poor. Her foster mom keeps a potty pad close to her bed so when she gets up from her nap, she has it to potty on when her mom is working. She will not indicate a need to go out to potty. She will need to be carried outside but does fine exploring once she’s out. She cannot go up or down stairs by herself. She will have a dental and a lumpectomy of a non-cancerous mass on her cheek on May 9th and will be ready to find her forever home shortly after. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
