✨🐾 Meet Little Bit — Proof That the Best Things Come in Tiny, Fluffy Packages 🐾✨ (4 Years Old • Shih Tzu • 9 lbs • Male • Professional Shadow) If you’ve ever thought, “I’d really like a dog who quietly follows me around like a very cute cloud,” then Little Bit is about to be your dream come true. At just 9 pounds and 4 years old, Little Bit is sweet, gentle, and delightfully low-key. He’s the kind of pup who prefers soft beds, kind humans, and being exactly wherever you are — no chaos, no drama, no unnecessary barking commentary. Despite being surrendered for being “too energetic” (allegedly 🙃), Little Bit has shown us nothing but calm, quiet manners. Here, he’s more low to very medium energy — playful when invited, content to lounge when not, and always happy just to be included. His only “crime” was lightly chasing porch cats, which he would like the court to note was non-threatening...just a little, I wanta say 'hello'. 🐶 Little Bit’s Best Features: • Very sweet & submissive — gentle soul alert • Great with other dogs and respectful of everyone’s space • Not much of a barker — strong “peace and quiet” energy • Playful but not demanding — he reads the room like a pro • Small, delicate, and affectionate (handle with love & cuddles) Because he’s petite and submissive, Little Bit would do best in a home without small children — not because he’s grumpy, but because he’s more “porcelain teacup” than “rough-and-tumble toy.” He’d be perfect for someone looking for a loyal companion, a quiet buddy, or a furry little shadow who wants to be part of your daily routine. If you’re looking for a dog who will follow you from room to room, sit politely nearby, and occasionally remind you how adorable life can be… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Little Bit is ready to be your tiny bestest furry friend. 🐾💖

Story
ZOE! - Saved from neglect, this little angel is deserving of a loving furever home! Zoe's been through a lot in her 8 yrs - She hadn't been groomed for years (her makeover transformed her!), and lost an ear due to a rubber band that was used instead of grooming. And she is Blind! Despite being terrified and in pain during her recovery she has shown her resilience while with her foster. She eats and drinks well and has been using pee pads she goes over to in her pen (she still is nervous outside in a leash). Due to being Blind a calmer household is best for her. She should be in a single family home because she is a barker due to the lack of eyesight, it is her defense mechanism. Zoe is spayed, vaccinated, had flea prevention and dewormer. Other than being blind and her ear still on the mend (though she is finished with medicine), this 7.4 pound lady was determined to be healthy by a vet, so is now ready to settle in a safe loving furever home. If interested in Zoe put in an application to The Furry Paws Inn today!Zoe must go to a home in the state of Maryland. about 1.5 hrs from Joppa or less.

Story
Bella is a very sweet 9-year-old Shih Tzu who is full of love and affection. She’s a true companion and will happily follow you from room to room. Bella absolutely loves to cuddle and enjoys being close to her people. She gets along wonderfully with kids, and is used to living in a home where children are always around to play with her. She loves the dog park Bella is house trained. She has never bitten anyone and is not aggressive at all she’s playful and friendly. Bella is in good health with no known medical issues her recent grooming was on 1/27/26. She will come with her toys, large bed & crate, food & bowls, clothes, and all her basic essentials. Unfortunately, due to a change in my landlord’s policy (they no longer allow pets unless they are emotional support animals), I can no longer keep Bella. I’m hoping to find Bella a loving home where she can continue to be part of a family

Story
Bobo is the best cuddler you will ever meet. Just sit with him for one day and you’ll have a companion for life. He is extremely sweet and just wants any type of physical connection. He can be clingy sometimes by following you around and he’ll even put his paw on you to signify you’re not done petting him. He’s goofy and very good driven. He’s not at all picky and will probably eat whatever you give him excluding fruits and vegetables. He takes medicine and pills extremely well - we just mix it in with his food and he eats it no problem. He stands and balances on his hind legs quite a lot and it’s so funny. Als if you end up sitting on the floor or even the couch he will immediately try to plop down wherever he can fit. Bobo does bark sometimes - usually when he wants attention or the bathroom. But overall Bobo is the best and sweetest dog ever especially if you’re looking for a dog that’s low key and chill.

Story
I’ve had Giselle since December of 2019. She was born in November of 2019. She is a very loveable dog. She loves attention, cuddles and being rubbed. She is small; about 10 pounds. Giselle would do best with a single person or couple who can devote a lot of attention to her. My life has changed a lot and I can’t give Giselle the attention she is used to. She is house trained for the most part but she does have an accident inside when she wants attention. She would do best with older kids like 5 and up.
