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 kids who are patient as he adjusts to new surroundings. He is also housetrained and leash trained! He is up to date on shots, de-wormed, micro-chipped and will be neutered soon. Let’s find Buddy the forever home he deserves — a place full of love, patience, and cozy cuddles!

Story
Bear is an adorable male Shih Tzu/Lhasa Terrier mix with a DOB of approximately 12/17/25. This sweet boy had a rough start — he, his parents and his brother were sadly left behind when their owner moved away. Unfortunately, his brother passed away before being transported to our rescue. Thankfully, Bear's wonderful mama, Lola, has taken amazing care of him every step of the way. Now Bear is ready to find his very own forever family! He is a playful, curious little guy who loves exploring the world around him. Whether he’s investigating new toys or bouncing around during playtime, Bear brings joy wherever he goes. He’s the perfect mix of fun and sweetness. Bear should be just the right small size when fully grown — his mama weighs around 8 lbs and his dad, Bobby, is 13.5 lbs. (And yes, his dad, Bobby, is also available for adoption! His mom Lola will be available for adoption in the near future.) If you’re looking for a small, loving, and playful companion to grow with your family, Bear might be your perfect match. Bear is up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. His spay/neuter procedure will be covered by the rescue at 6 months of age when completed through one of our approved veterinary clinics.

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 Chilli 🌶️ 9-year-old | Female | Shih-Tzu Mix If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Chilli might be your perfect match. This lovable little lady is a true shadow dog — always following her favorite person around and making it very clear when she’s ready for hugs, cuddles, or to be picked up (her signature move is gently scratching at your legs to ask!). Chilli is currently thriving in a foster home with young children and a cat, and she’s been wonderful with both. She’s friendly and relaxed when meeting strangers, whether inside the home or out and about, and she loves when people stop to pet her. She’s got great house manners too! Chilli is housebroken, crate trained, and great on leash — no pulling here, although she will bark at other dogs when she sees them. At night, she happily walks into her crate on her own when told “go to sleep.” She knows stay, drop it, come, and is working on sit (she understands it… she just doesn’t always feel like holding it — fair enough!). Chilli’s favorite things include: Sleeping (expert-level napper) Being held or sitting on laps Cuddle time (lots of it!) Walks and playing chase Meeting people and soaking up attention She’s very relaxed overall and would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, as she loves being out with her people rather than crated frequently. One thing to note: Chilli is not into dog toys at all — but towels, beds, paper, boxes, or anything left on the floor? Those are her true treasures. Because of this, she’d do best in a home without very young kids who tend to leave toys around. Chilli hasn’t been tested with other dogs yet, but she’s open to meeting one during a proper meet-and-greet. Her foster will miss her deeply — especially her cuddles, her tenderness, and the quiet way she fills a home with love. Chilli is the kind of dog who doesn’t demand much, just a warm lap, a gentle hand, and a human to adore. Could that be you? 💗

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.
