Story
Meet Toby! Toby is estimated to be about 3 years old and a shih tzu/ terrier mix weighing about 15lbs.  Toby is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He is pretty calm and chill and wants to be around his people. He is potty trained and walks well on a leash.  He doesn’t like storms or really any loud noise and jumps into your lap for protection.  Does not do well in crate but doesn’t need to be crated at night or when you’re gone.  He is good with other dogs but does need a slow introduction as barking/ excited dogs are a bit overwhelming.  As most little dogs who have a bit of a rough start, he can be a bit nippy so we don’t recommend him in house with small children. He is okay with children visiting and will let you know when he needs space before reacting.  He’s learning to play and is getting more playful everyday but he’s also thrilled just to sit and chill near his people!  May 6, 2024, 4:33 pm

Story
Feb 2024: Summer is approx 4 and 20 lbs. She has to have a fenced yard with an active playmate. If she has both of those she is a fantastic fun loving pup. She is also mostly house trained if she has fence and playmate. Summer loves playing with the foster's Great Dane and Dachshund. She is crate trained. She is not fond of grooming, so you will need an experienced fear free groomer. Summer was found as stray with a male. She was completely matted. At approximately 2-3 years old and 15 lbs. she was obviously used for breeding and has no socialization. She is trying hard to trust. She has tons of personality but is still very tentative to touch. She does submissive pee if you pick her up. Foster is working on getting her to go into her crate, once she does, she is fine. She has very few accidents in the house if gotten out often enough. She is very playful but can be pushy (not a mean pushy) Does great with all sizes of dogs. In her foster home she plays with a Doxie and runs the backyard with a Great Dane. Freds Mission Rescue has an adoption radius of 100 miles from Cincinnati. All dogs are fully vetted, altered, current on flea/tick/heartworm/wormer, and microchipped. The rescue does not adopt out to properties with invisible fences or tie outs. Application: https://form.jotform.com/FredsMission/app

Story
Charlie came into us from a breeder. He is very sweet and mild mannered.  We had to remove one of his eyes due to extreme neglect.  The other eye has minimal to no vision.  Charlie is doing great with crate training and is great with people,  dogs and cats.  ##2045506##

Story
Hi, my name is Bishop, I am a 12yr (DOB 11/01/11) Shih Tzu. I'm on the fluffy side at 23lbs. My Mom just passed away recently and all of my aunts/uncles all have too many pets for me to live with them so they sent me to the best rescue ever. My Foster Mom is helping me to adjust to all the immediate changes in my life right now. I might nip you if I feel scared of you at first. I love to meet other dogs and people. The smells outside are so fun to explore. I love walking, the fact that my front feet curve outward a tad doesn't affect my gait in any way so, it's all good. Another dog (Pom) and a cat live here too. I chase the cat (I've never been around one before) every chance I get. I know a few commands but I will probably ignore you while I enjoy exploring. I would love to find a family that wants to snuggle with me and let me be by your side at all times. Please let me see if we are a match so I can shower you with my charm. If you're interested in adopting Bishop, please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.allpawsmatterrescue.org/?page_id=5230
