Story
Big personality. Small package. Legendary hair. Meet Rocker—a 10-month-old Shih Tzu/Fox Terrier mix with a signature look you won’t forget… that mohawk is doing all the talking. Rocker came from a loving home where both of his parents are family pets. He was the surprise encore—an accidental litter of one. The plan was to keep him, but as he grew, it became clear that three dogs just wasn’t the right fit for the household. So now, Rocker is looking for a home where he can truly take center stage. At first, he might give you a little stage fright energy—hanging back, reading the room—but once he warms up, the transformation is instant. Lights on, music up, and suddenly you’ve got a full-blown rockstar on your hands. His personality is big, playful, and full of character, with just enough attitude to keep things interesting. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t just join your life—he headlines it. If you’re ready for a one-of-a-kind companion with style, personality, and a little bit of edge… Rocker is ready for his forever tour. Breed & Size Disclaimer: We do our best to provide accurate breed and adult size estimates based on physical traits such as coat type, size, and structure.

Story
Krypto, the best sidekick you never knew you needed… could you be his Superman? Krypto is a 1 year, 9 month old Shih Tzu mix who’s ready to trade uncertainty for a forever home. This sweet boy was raised as a beloved family pet, but due to unexpected financial hardship after a job loss, his family made the difficult and selfless decision to surrender him so he could have the stability he deserves. True to his name—borrowed from Superman’s loyal companion—Krypto is full of happiness, friendliness, and that unwavering “man’s best friend” energy. He greets life (and everyone he meets) with a wagging tail and a bright spirit that hasn’t been dimmed by his recent changes. He’s now searching for a hero of his own—someone who can give him consistency, love, and the forever home every good boy deserves. In return, Krypto promises loyalty, joy, and a lifetime of companionship. Breed & Size Disclaimer: Our best guess is that Krypto is a Shih Tzu mix based on appearance and information provided. Please note that breed and adult size are estimates and not guaranteed.

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.

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
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. Dog meets welcome Kids welcome Cats unknown Located in Plainfield IL Ready to let a special girl steal your heart? I’m Ivy… and I’m ready to be yours Apply to foster or adopt: www.w2wrescue.com
