Story
Special Adopter Needed – Gentle, Sweet Soul with a Hard Past Fozzie is a 1 y/o, 18 lb. ShihTzu-Maltese mix who was abandoned in a rural area. He was rescued and sent to a foster home where we learned that he may have endured some abuse in his short life. This beautiful boy desperately wants to be near his human companions and will follow you around, eager to snuggle up next to you on the couch. Very affectionate and playful, he greets everyone he meets with joy (even the vet and groomer!), and loves his belly rubs and chew toys. He is fully house-trained and walks well on a leash. As a result of his prior likely mistreatment, his nervous system is a bit overwhelmed. This shows up in the way he protects himself and his things (toys/treats), and he has the ability to snap/bite if pushed past his comfort zone. *** He needs an experienced adopter who will give him time to settle in, read his body language, and teach him not to fear, but for that right person, he will be the sweetest, most loving little fellow. *** Fozzie will be best set up to succeed in a • A calm, adult-only home  • An experienced, patient adopter who understands fearful dogs • Someone who is home most of the time as he has separation anxiety when left alone • A house, not an apartment (ideally with a fenced-in yard for him to run!) because he howls when left alone With structure, boundaries, and respect, he will be a loyal, loving companion. For the right person, he will be incredibly rewarding. For the wrong situation, he will be overwhelmed and we do not want to set him - or you - up for failure. If you think you may be the right home for Fozzie, please text/call Aly at 732-604-0625. We also have additional photos/videos to share. Thank you for caring about a pet in need! Please NOTE: Fozzie is currently located in the Boston, MA area. The adoption fee listed is in order for the rescue to recoup actual expenses from his vetting, transport, and care.

Story
Meet Nod, affectionately known in her foster home as Tiny Tina, a 9‑week‑old Shih Tzu mix weighing in at just 2 lbs. About Nod: Nod is a spunky little spitfire who loves to play with toys and wrestle with the other small dogs in her foster home. She is curious, social, and happiest when she’s in the middle of the action with her doggie friends. Pee Pad trained Ideal Home: Because of her tiny size, Nod must go to a home with children 10 years or older who can be gentle and respectful of such a small pup. She is a tripping hazard since she is always underfoot, so her family should be steady on their feet and aware of where she is. Other Pets: Nod would do great in a home with other small dogs who enjoy playing and can match her playful energy. She will thrive in a home where she can be included in daily activities and given plenty of love, supervision, and safe playtime. If you’re looking for a tiny bundle of joy with a big personality, Nod (Tiny Tina) might be the perfect addition to your family! Nod is fostered in Brunswick. Adoption fee is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com

💥 Meet Nod — aka Tiny Tina! 💥 9 weeks old | Shih Tzu mix | 2 lbs of BIG PERSONALITY ❤️🐾 Don’t let the size fool you — Nod (lovingly called Tiny Tina in her foster home) is a full-on spitfire packed into a 2-pound body. She’s playful, bold, and always ready to pounce a toy or wrestle with her small-dog friends like she’s ten times her size. Nod is curious, social, and needs to be where the action is. If there’s fun happening, she’s in it. If there isn’t? She’ll start it. 😅 She’s already pee pad trained and picking up puppy life like a pro. 🏡 Her Perfect Match Because she’s teeny-tiny, Nod is looking for a home with kids 10+ who understand that tiny dogs need gentle handling. She’s also a professional “underfoot assistant,” so her humans need to be steady on their feet and always know where this little shadow is. 🐾 Other Pets Nod would LOVE another small dog who enjoys playtime and can keep up with her fearless, fun energy. She thrives with supervision, safe play, and being included in everyday life. Nod is the kind of puppy who will keep you laughing, on your toes, and completely in love. Small body. Big personality. Zero regrets. If you’re ready for a tiny tornado of joy, Nod (Tiny Tina) is ready for you 🌪️🐾❤️ Apply to adopt and bring home this pocket-sized legend home!
