Story
She is a very cute little girl who loves to play. She adores chasing balls and playing with children. I got her in NJ, but I can no longer take care of her. She is very well-behaved; when she doesn't go outside, she relieves herself in a single spot wherever she finds a potty pad.

Story
Hi! I got my dog from my grandma’s neighbor, who is a breeder. He is 5 years old and is a Shih Tzu mixed with Lhasa Apso. He is very loyal and protective of his owner and forms a strong bond with his person. He loves to relax, cuddle, and stay close to someone he trusts. He can be cautious and reactive toward new people and is not good around other animals, so he would do best as the only pet in the home. He will be starting training classes to work on his reactivity toward people and other dogs. He would thrive in a calm environment with an experienced, patient owner who can continue his training and provide a consistent routine. I’m looking for a loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and be part of the family.

Story
Gizmo and Toby: a perfectly mismatched, completely inseparable duo of “brothers from other mothers” who are ready to write their next chapter—together.At 9 years young (with Gizmo proudly adding an extra 9 months of wisdom), these two Shih Tzu gentlemen are the definition of gentle, easygoing companions. After the passing of their beloved owner, they found themselves starting over, and while that kind of change isn’t easy, they’ve handled it with nothing but sweetness, resilience, and an unwavering bond with each other.Gizmo may be the smaller of the two, but he’s got just as much love packed into him. He came to us with a bit of a skin infection, and while he’s already on the mend with medication and regular spa days (yes, baths every couple days—he’s basically living at a wellness retreat), he may continue to have some ongoing skin sensitivities, likely related to allergies. Toby, his slightly bigger partner-in-crime, is right by his side through it all—equal parts cuddle buddy and moral support.When they arrived, both boys were underweight, but it didn’t take long for them to remind us how much they enjoy the simple pleasures in life—good meals, soft beds, and a game of chase-the-tennis-ball. They love going for walks together, exploring side by side like the little old men they are (but don’t tell them that—they still think they’re puppies).These boys are truly the full package: affectionate, friendly, and adaptable. They could do well in just about any home—with respectful kids, teens, other dogs, and even dog-savvy cats—so long as they get to stay together. That part isn’t negotiable. They’ve been through a lot, and their bond is their constant.If you’ve ever thought about opening your home to a pair of sweet seniors, Gizmo and Toby are here to show you just how special that kind of love can be. Twice the dogs, twice the love, and double the reason to come home smiling every day.
