Story
Andy is a 22 pound Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix. He`s estimated to be around 3 years old. This cutie came to the El Dorado Shelter as a stray, covered in ticks and matted fur. We are grateful to Lori at Cut-n-Strut for getting him in for a groom ASAP - check out that glow-up! Andy has already seen the vet for vaccinations and is heartworm free. He will be neutered soon, and ready to adopt after that! Though he`s brand new to us, he is starting to settle in at his foster home, where he gets along fine with the kids and other dogs in the house! So far, he`s shown himself to be a very sweet, very chill dog. He enjoys going out in the yard and exploring! Andy seems to be pretty low-maintenance and will make a wonderful pet for someone looking for a little guy who will be happy wherever he goes! He is working on potty training and crate training.

Story
Larry is an 11 pound Shih Tzu that will be 2 years old on May 26th. He and his littermate, Cooper, were relinquished by their owner that was moving and chose not to take these boys with them. Their coats were overgrown and very matted when they came to us so they had to he detangled and cut short. They are undeniably darling now, and will be off the charts adorable when their coats grows out. Larry (and his foster mom) would like to thank Lori Wangsgard at Cut-N-Strut for grooming him. The boys had not been vaccinated when we took them in but they have since been fully vetted, neutered and we were thrilled to learn that both are heartworm negative. Larry gets along great with other dogs his size, and is an overall sweet and loving little guy. He is crate trained and he has not had any accidents in the house. He is a little skittish when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly. He likes to perch on a rock in the backyard and watch for squirrels and passersby. He likes to play with his foster brother & sister and he likes to cuddle with his foster mom. He does not walk well on a leash so he is working on that, and he also is working on boundaries as he tends to get underfoot so is a bit of a tripping hazard. He needs an owner that will continue working with him. He tries very hard to be a good boy, and he will make one lucky family very happy.

Story
Ruby is a precious senior girl who has been through too much in her 12 years. She was found as a stray and had severe dry eye disease that had not been treated, resulting in pain and blindness. She has been groomed and pampered, had an extensive dental, and had eye surgery to remove her very damaged and non-functional eyes. She feels SO much better and we are so happy for sweet Ruby. Ruby would do best in a more quite home where she will not be expected to navigate stairs. She is mostly deaf as well so we recommend older children only. No young children. She does well with other respectful dogs that are not high energy. She basically ignores them. She loves her food and loves to eat. She is very attached to her kennel and bed as you can imagine with her blindness. She can leave them and walk around a small distance away. She does not bark and foster Mom takes her potty outside during the times she leaves her kennel. She is a sweet sweet girl who deserves a pampering retirement home for her to live out the rest of her days. If you are interested in meeting Ruby, please fill out an application via our website at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TRP/Dog and we will get back to you via email once your application has been reviewed. If you have further questions please feel free to reach out to us at adoptionstrp@gmail.com. Ruby's adoption fee is $100 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, deworm, and HW testing. Due her age and medical complexity, we received approval from department of agriculture to not spay Ruby as it would have been too hard on her little body.
