Story
Hi! My name is FrouFrouFreddie. I am a really good boy and I am just looking for my furever home! I was abandoned at a vet emergency clinic when I was a stray. I was sick and sad but now I am all better! I am about 6 months old (born around October 1, 2023), weigh about 6 pounds, and I love dogs, cats and kids. I am doing so well with all of them in my foster home in South Carolina! I am neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, dewormed, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for my age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. I am all ready to be adopted :) My adoption fee is $650, and covers all of my vetting, and includes transport within the next two weeks, if my new family lives in the northeast USA. ***PLEASE DO NOT FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ADOPT WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS**** Please visit https://www.apply.daybeforetherainbow.com/ to fill out an adoption application form or email my rescue at taryn@daybeforetherainbow.com! Thanks for checking me out!

Story
About Charlie   Age 2.5years old Weight 16 pounds Energy level Medium Healthy status Healthy  Ideal home Fenced yard with someone home part of the day   Charlie came to us from a local shelter. Charlie is an affectionate Shih Tzu mix who loves toys almost as much as he loves his people. He can entertain himself for quite a while, burying his toys under blankets and pillows, walking around with a toy in his mouth, or lying on his back holding a toy with his paws. He also loves cuddle, lap, and play time with his people and will gaze adoringly into their eyes. He enjoys meeting new people (especially if a treat is involved!), but he will stay at a respectful distance and approach them on his own time.    Charlie is a sturdy boy who weighs around 16 pounds. He enjoys being the center of his guardian's world, so we are asking that he go to a home without to many dogs because we want him to be spoiled!  Charlie does great with no accidents if he is let outside in the backyard every few hours like most dogs. He will go on indoor pee pads if necessary. Charlie prefers not to be left alone for too long, so we are asking for a home with someone home part of the day.

Story
About Ethel &#226&#128&#139Age: 11 years old Energy level: Low  Medical history: Recent dental and removal of mammary masses.  Weight:11 Breed: Shih Tzu &#226&#128&#139Ethel is a recent rescue and is doing great in her foster home. This little angel is a cuddlebug. She loves to nuzzle her head in her foster mom’s shoulder and nap snuggled up against her mom.  You might mistake her for a little baby! This cutie is housetrained but requires a potty break every few hours to avoid accidents.  Ethel does great around other dogs. She enjoys car rides to the pet store to receive her doggie treats! Her foster mom can’t say enough good things to describe Ethel’s sweet nature. She even has a Instagram page about her here: https://www.instagram.com/ethel_caring_hearts_rescue/ Ethel recently had a full dental and several mammary masses removed. To be extra safe, her new adopters will need to be vigilant and watch the areas where the masses were removed in case there is any new growth. Ethel had a full blood chemistry and urinalysis and is in good shape. She now needs a home where she will be cherished forever—she deserves it!   Adoption Link: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/indexApril 23, 2024, 12:13 am

BJ is a year old shih-tzu - maltese mix looking for a new home due to some health issues of mine. BJ LOVES to cuddle with his people and is very calm tempered. He would make a great companion for any adult, older adult, or family. He loves children, and loves playing with other dogs. He has not met any cats really. Please help me rehome my sweet senior so he can live out his golden years by your side.
