Story
Sweet little Princess is a 2-year-old Shih Tzu. She is also heartworm positive. She has already begun her treatment and received her final injection on 10/28. She will still have 30-60 days, post injection, before she is medically cleared for adoption. We would like for Princess to be placed into a "foster to adopt" home. This means we will provide her treatment, while she is living with her future adopters. Then once she is medically cleared, the adoption can be finalized. If you are interested in making this WONDERFUL dog a part of your family, please complete a foster application today ❤ We promise, SHE IS WORTH IT! Just meet her and you will absolutely LOVE her! https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/ITAV/Dog For more pictures and information on this pup, please visit our website at https://www.ittakesavillage.dog/adopt

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Looking for double the love and double the companionship? Sophie and Ashlynn are a bonded pair of adorable, senior Shih Tzus who are ready to fill your home with quiet loyalty, gentle affection, and plenty of snuggle time.  Sophie is a quiet little lady who prefers to stay close by your side. She isn't a big cuddler, but she will loyally follow you from room to room and nap nearby on a pillow while you relax or watch tv. She is very inquisitive and has a little anxiety which keeps her moving around, especially when her foster mom is out of sight. Due to her anxiety, Sophie does take a daily medication to manage it. Additionally, she does have some allergies and takes benadryl for that. Ashlynn (or Ashie for short) is the cuddlebug of the pair. She loves being held like a baby or snuggled up in your lap - maybe even on your pillow at night! She's a deep sleeper and loves a good nap, especially if it's near her favorite person. Like Sophie, Ashlynn would like to be wherever you are and wants to be the center of your world. Ashie is a bit more of a diva; while she gets along with other dogs, she doesn't like when they get in her face or between her and her cuddle time with their foster mom.  Both girls currently live with other dogs, but their hearts truly belong to their human. They will require a home with a fenced in yard and have not yet been cat tested. They're content lounging around together, following you throughout the house, or enjoying a quiet evening by your side. They are both potty pad trained and are used to having free roam of the house.If you have a calm, loving home and are ready for two devoted little shadows, Sophie and Ashie are the perfect pair!  Sophie and Ashlynn's adoption fee is $350 and includes their spay, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives. They are seeking an indoor only home with adopters who have a history of keeping their pets as indoor animals, altered, and current on annual vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes a background check, home visit, and vet history check. If you would like to meet Sophie and Ashie, please fill out an adoption application on our website, adopthope.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2025, 1:07 pm
