Story
Marshmallow arrived at TJO in need of lots of TLC. It looked like he had been growing dreadlocks for years. The TJO vet team helped him with a sedated groom and our staff and volunteers have helped this spicy little boy to settle in to the shelter. What he would really like is to find a home that understands the difficulties he has been through and is prepared to help him live his best life going forward. Interested in meeting a complicated guy? Call 413-781-1484 x2. OTHER PETS:Case by Case. Marshmallow should meet any dogs he would be living with. We do not know how he would be with cats. OWNER EXPERIENCE:Experienced. Marshmallow has exhibited issues with resource guarding and has alot let us know that if he is not comfortable with how he is being handled, he will show his displeasure by biting. He is for ADULTS only and needs humans who understand doggie body language and communication. KIDS:ADULTS only. No exceptions. ACTIVITY LEVEL:Low. Marshmallow enjoys short walks daily. VETERINARY CARE:Please have a good relationship with a veterinarian. Marshmallow may need sedated grooms for life. LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:Low/Medium. Marshmallow seems to have lived by his own rules for much of his life. Some positive reinforcement training may help your bond with him and may make for an easier relationship. GROOMING:Professional grooming every six to eight weeks- potentially sedated grooming for life.June 2, 2023, 6:07 pm

Story
A more perfect dog may not exist. Thorin is simply put - well, perfect. He is quiet, lovable, playful, loyal, house trained, good with other dogs and though not kid tested, would likely be great with respectful ones.Thorin loves rides in the car, taking walks where he can display his lovely leash manners, and just being together with his favorite people. And can we talk about that adorable face? Cuteness overload! So if your life needs a little perfect, then Thorin is meant for you! Thorin is a 4 year old Shih-Tzu. He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, house trained, and heartworm negative. Thorin is fostered in Smithfield, VA.

Story
Hi, my name's Gizmo. I know, I'm adorable right?!! Although There is a catch, I can be a little fresh at times. Here's a little about me. ~ I've been bounced around quite a few times, and I'm ready to find somewhere to settle down. Sometimes new people try to touch me too fast, but I'm a gentleman and go slow when first meeting new people. I may have needed to give a little nip in the past because people didn't respect my needs. There is more to me than a cute face. I would like to live with adults only who have experience with behavior in a quiet home. ~ Also really not into apartment living, i'm looking for a quiet home with a yard for me and my squeaky toys. ~ My best friends in the world are my stuffy toys, I love to run around with them. I even have one lamb that squeaks when we cuddle, it's my favorite! ~ I've been looking to get more structure to my day, and need a routine to follow. Now that I'm an adult I am ready to focus on me, and hoping there's a family out there who wants to help me with that. Maybe you are my next best friend who will love me and all my quirks! Apply today, and bring yummy treats when you come to meet me!
