Story
Weight: 13Lbs Meet Azalea, a gentle little Shih Tzu mix with a heart as soft as her fluffy coat 💗 Azalea may be a bit fearful at first, but beneath that cautious exterior is an incredibly sweet, loving soul just waiting to feel safe. She’s the kind of dog who blossoms with patience and kindness—once she trusts you, her affection shines through in the most beautiful ways. Her quiet nature makes her a wonderful listener, and her tender eyes tell a story of resilience and hope. This precious girl has so much potential. With a calm home, gentle encouragement, and lots of reassurance, Azalea will continue to grow in confidence every day. She’s not demanding or wild—she’s thoughtful, gentle, and deeply appreciative of love. The small moments with her—soft tail wags, cozy cuddles, and shy kisses—feel extra special because they’re earned. Azalea is looking for someone who will see her not just for who she is now, but for who she’s becoming. If you’re ready to open your heart to a dog who will love you with quiet devotion and pure sweetness, Azalea just might be your perfect match. Dogs: Unknown, we highly recommend bringing all pups in! Cats: Unknown Kids: The whole family must meet this shy gal!!

Story
Weight: 15Lbs Meet Marigold, a delicate little soul with the softest heart 💛 Marigold is an extra-shy girl who experiences the world gently and cautiously, but that’s part of what makes her so special. She doesn’t rush into anything—she watches, listens, and slowly learns that she’s safe. Beneath her timid exterior is a beautifully sweet, tender dog who wants nothing more than peace, comfort, and a loving presence by her side. This quiet gal has so much hidden potential. With patience, consistency, and a calm environment, Marigold will continue to gain confidence at her own pace. Every tiny step forward is a victory, and being the person who earns her trust is incredibly rewarding. Her love is soft and sincere—once she connects, it’s deep and meaningful. Marigold would thrive with someone who understands that shy dogs don’t need fixing—they need time, kindness, and gentle reassurance. In return, she offers a pure, heartfelt bond that feels truly special. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will slowly bloom into your most loyal little shadow, Marigold is ready to begin that journey with you 🌼 Dogs: Unknown, we highly recommend bringing all pups in!

Lucy

Shih Tzu

Female, Adult
Fort Wayne, IN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lucy is an 8 year old Shih Tzu. She is a lovely, family-friendly dog with a sweet disposition. Lucy has had recurrent urinary tract infections for 5-6 years now. All imaging (X-rays, ultrasounds) has shown no abnormality. Being on a specialty diet was initially helping, but being around small children whose food she has access to hasn’t been helpful in keeping her strictly on her dog food. We just do not have the time/energy to invest to make sure she is only eating her food, taking daily walks, and receiving the attention she deserves. She is house trained but does have accidents inside when her infections resurface. We will get her shots updated (she is just missing most recent vaccines).
