Story
Hi, I'm Katie Shih Tzu | Senior | Female | Small About Me Katie is a 14 yr old shih tzu mix that was rescued from the PG County animal shelter on 09/08/25. Sadly, her previous owner had taken her there for euthanasia but thankfully the shelter sent out a rescue plea instead. She is very low-maintenance – pretty much the only time you hear her is when it’s time for breakfast or dinner and even then, it’s just a low grumbling sound to let you know you aren’t moving fast enough! She’s like Mikey – she eats everything!! (If you know, you know..lol) Due to her limited vision, she will do best in a home with not many or no steps (unless they can be blocked off) and no young children as she is easily startled. She currently lives in a home with four small dogs and gets along with all of them but she will be fine as an only dog. As an older lady, she will probably do best with a family that is home most of the time to let her out for potty breaks. She will also require regular grooming. Katie will lay in your lap while you work or curl up next to you while you watch TV. She is such a sweet girl that will make you smile just from looking at her adorable little face and watching her tail wag when you say her name. Her appreciation for being given this second chance is coming through in her personality more and more each day. Come meet her, you will love her immediately!

Story
This is Tyson, he was given to us by a close friend who moved to California, Tyson is 9 months , at the time we lived in a house so he was much more manageable and free, we recently moved to a condominium and we don't have as much space anymore as well as our whole family is extremely busy and we hardly have time for Tyson:( .we have had him for about 6-7 months and they have been great but have just gotten difficult, he’s also a very playful dog but he is a big dog.he’s also very kind and can be destructive but He is not aggressive at all. unfortunately we can no longer care for him and as the cold approaches we’re afraid we wont be able to take care of Tyson anymore. We are hoping to find a caring and very loving adoptive owner as soon as possible!

Story
Meet Koby, our lovable 8-year-old pup looking for a new forever home! Koby is a sweet but spirited little guy who brings joy and energy to every moment. He is fully house trained and has a charming personality that shines through in his cuddly demeanor. While Koby is already a great companion, he could benefit from some formal dog training to help him thrive even more. His ideal home would be with seniors or adults who can appreciate his unique quirks and give him the attention he deserves. Unfortunately, Koby is not suited for a home with children, which is why we are seeking a new loving family for him as we prepare for the arrival of a baby. Koby enjoys the pampering of a professional groomer once a month, ensuring he always looks his best. If you are looking for a sweet and spirited companion to share your life with, Koby may be the perfect match! If you are interested in giving Koby a loving home, please reach out for more info.

Story
*SENIOR* Barry is a snuggle bug who will make you smile every day.  He is a super sweet guy who loves nothing more than to be with his humans.  Barry also loves toys.  His foster tells us that every day he picks a different toy to take on his walk.  Barry is about 32 pounds, 8 years old, and we think a Shih Tzu mix.  Barry is happy, funny and very easy going!  He is inquisitive, eager to be with people, and comfortable in many different environments and situations (he doesn't even mind baths). He loves other dogs (we aren't sure about cats yet...) and loves to play. He also loves his walks, and his foster tells us that when they get back from a walk, if he’s seen one of his doggie friends, he’s so happy he does zoomies in the back yard.  He is easy to walk on leash, good in the car, and an all-around happy guy! Barry is fully vetted, housetrained, and ready to move to his forever home to be the best buddy you've ever had!   If you are looking for a sweet buddy to add to your family, Barry is your guy!

Story
We added Snickers to our family when he was 3 months old in 2010. He has lived with a cat for 13 years with no issues. He has lived with men and women of all ages including infants and children. As he gets older (he is now 15 years old) he requires a little more attention than we are able to provide lately. He has slight vision impairment and hearing loss. He is still able to climb up and down steps and eats all of his dry food with no problem! He does not like being picked up due to an injury sustained when he was a puppy. He loves running around and exploring a fenced in space and also lounging around and napping during the day.
