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.

***COURTESY POST ONLY - PLEASE CONTACT ZACH FOR MORE INFO.*** Meet Gidget – A Sweet, Calm 15-Year-Old Mini Shih Tzu Gidget is a gentle, well-mannered miniature Shih Tzu looking for a loving home for her golden years. She’s in excellent health for her age, fully vaccinated, and has been cherished and well cared for her whole life. Gidget is wonderfully easygoing:     •    Great with other pets – she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats.     •    Usually quiet: she only barks when hungry.      •    House-trained – she reliably goes outside, and she also knows to use pee pads if you’re away for longer stretches.     •    Low-maintenance lifestyle – she enjoys short, leisurely walks, but she’s happiest curled up and snoozing for most of the day.     •    Temperament – extremely cuddly and loving. Can be timid around young children, so she’s best suited for a calmer home.     •    LOVES car rides and just being with her person.      •    Spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations.     •    Grooming – not her favorite activity, but she tolerates baths, brushing, and trims without any trouble. Gidget is the perfect companion for someone who wants a quiet, cuddly, loving dog who’s easy to have around and brings a warm, peaceful energy to the home. She will be timid initially but extremely loving and sweet once she gets settled in.  She and her sister, Jackie, are looking for a new home because circustances in their current living situation have changed. Their dad is trying to find a home for both of them with a person/people that will unconditionally love them just as they deserve! Please note that both Gidget and Jackie must be adopted together as they are bonded. If you would like to find out more information about Gidget and Jackie, please contact Zach at 703-969-2433. ##2592452##

Oreo Pie KV

Shih Tzu Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 6 yrs 7 mos
Baltimore, MD
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Oreo Pie got his name because he’s truly sweet as pie. Before being rescued, this little guy was abandoned in a backyard, tied to a tree, and survived thanks to kind neighbors who fed him for a month. When his foster mama saved him, he was severely matted and had to be shaved down to the skin. Since then, he’s learned what it feels like to be safe, loved, and comfortable—and now he happily snores the day away in his doggie bed. Oreo Pie hasn’t met a person he doesn’t adore and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and an easy-going, laid-back little man who LOVES food. If he’s hungry (or thinks you’re moving too slow), he’ll let you know—and may even bring you his food bowl as a reminder! Oreo Pie will require regular, lifelong grooming to keep him comfortable and mat-free, but he’s absolutely worth it. This sweet boy is ready for a forever family to spoil him the way he deserves. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Jim, aka Jimothy - the Shih Tzu sensation! Jim’s story didn’t start with sunshine and rainbows. He came from a home so bad he had to be seized by animal control, but this brave little guy hasn’t looked back since. Despite all the chaos and trauma he’s endured, Jim is pure hope wrapped in fluff. You can just feel that he wants to love and be loved. And love, he does! Jim arrived full of joy, ready to party and start his new life. From transport to volunteers to his foster family, everyone fell for him immediately (the rumors are true ~ Jim’s an absolute babe). He loves: - Taking walks (he has stamina and is ready to help you get your steps in!) - Exploring the yard - Making new friends - Playing with toys - Snuggling on the couch - Keeping the world safe from squirrels - Being told he's the overall best boy (because he is) Jim's got moves, he’s got heart, and he’s working on building an epic toy collection. A social butterfly who makes friends with every dog and human he meets, he would love a home with another canine sibling to pal around with. Whoever is lucky enough to land this charmer is truly winning the dog lottery! Here’s to a future of new beginnings, soft beds, and endless belly rubs for our Jimothy. Jim is approximately 8 years old. Fostered in Severn, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org
