Story
Bella is a senior Shih Tzu–Maltese mix who has been part of our family since 2013. She's a small dog with a distinct personality and plenty of opinions! Much of the day, she's content to curl up in a cozy spot and sleep peacefully. She's capable of settling in and enjoying a quiet environment. Bella can also be vocal and persistent when she wants something, and she's never been particularly shy about communicating her preferences. She would be best suited to someone who understands that she's an older dog with established habits and is comfortable with a companion who can be a little demanding at times. We're hoping to find Bella a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy her senior years with someone whose lifestyle is a good match for hers.

Story
Mustard is a sweet older gentleman who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This calm little guy is pretty much a professional couch potato—give him a comfy spot to curl up and he’s perfectly content! Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, but he gets around and enjoys life just fine. He does best with a calm routine and gentle handling, as fast movements can make him nervous. He is good with other dogs, especially when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will also potty outside when taken out on a leash. He hasn’t quite learned how to let you know when he needs to go outside yet, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent routine. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy, action-packed life. He’s looking for a soft couch, a peaceful home, and someone who will love and spoil him through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Chico is a sweet Shih Tzu boy, less than a year old, with a whole lot of heart. He's super loyal and always eager to please. Wherever you are, that's where Chico wants to be. He came from a family breeder in California and has been with us since he was little. Between life, work, and ministry, our schedule keeps us busy, and Chico deserves someone who can give him more time and attention than we can right now. To be upfront: Chico was vaccinated, but we lost the paperwork. His potty training is a work in progress, and he still uses doggy diapers. He's got the idea and just needs a little more consistency to get there. The ideal home for Chico is someone who's around often, can be patient with training, and wants a loyal little companion who'll stick by their side. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!
