Story
NAME: Zep BREED: Shih Tzu BIRTHDAY: 2014 WEIGHT: 13lbs ADOPTION FEE: $350   This sweet and happy little fellow was found as a stray in Philly. He was in rough shape- matted all over with a mouth full of mushy teeth, and was understandably nervous in the shelter. However, it didn't take him long to settle in here at GOT, exploring the yard and soliciting head scratches from his foster mom. We got his teeth fixed up and his face trimmed nicely, and now Zep is ready for a family of his own! &#226&#128&#139 Zep gets along well with other animals, and is happy to meet new people. He does well with house training as long as he's given consistent breaks and the weather is nice. He is happy to go for walks or rides in the car, and is quiet and polite in the house. Zep does have some pain in his legs and will need to be on medications for life, but his "swimmy" little gait just gives him more character, and he loves taking his pills. Overall he's just a good boy! Because of his age and size, we are looking for a home for Zep without young children, but young visitors should be just fine as long as they are gentle and polite. Please consider giving Zep the forever home he deserves! April 26, 2024, 12:04 am

We will post more about Bonnie as her foster gets to know her! She will be available for adoption in early May if not adopted by her foster. Bonnie will need to go through heartworm treatment, paid for by the rescue, and will need to be with someone that can keep her calm during that process.

Story
Summer is a like shih tzu on a budget! Look at her cute squishy face and none of that needing to be groomed for 60 bucks a month hair! She has the total wiggle butt personality of a shih tzu too. She is so sweet. She's abpit one year old and fully vetted now. She had cherry eye surgery abt two weeks ago. 14 lbs grown, kennels like a dream every night. Working on potty skills. Walks on a leash like a dream and... even not on leash does not run off. She recalls so well and loves kids, even small ones because she's very gentle, loves dogs, cats, and is just the happiest little thing ever. Zero aggression with food , toys , even high value treats. Takes cues from other dogs very well and is just a joy. She is like a warm summer breeze! Just all the best stuff. Summer is available for adoption for 200.00 fully vetted, fixed, chipped, all vaccinations and boosters for DHlpp, rabies, bordetella, wormed twice. Heartworm negative and on all prevents. She is available for adoption through God's Dogs Rescue and would make anyone a wonderful little companion. We do have transport out of state which I'm fine with since she's such a well mannered and well adjusted kiddo. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)
