Story
LOOKING TO REHOME DOGS & ALL BELONGINGS TOGETHER!!! Here are Naiomi (Black, Age: 5) and Anyla (Blonde, Age: 1) They are both Shih Tzu/Yorkie mixes and we have had them both since they were young puppies. Both are female and have not been spayed. We initially got Anyla as a means to quell Naiomi's anxiety that she was experiencing when my partner and I were at work. Anyla has helped immensely with Naiomi's anxiety and in turn, Naiomi has become such a protective and caring older sister to Anyla. They love playing together, sleeping together, and climbing on top of pillows together! We are moving, and unfortunately don't have the capacity to take care of them they way they need and deserve. Since they have gotten so close and are truly sisters, we don't want to split them up and would love for them to be adopted together. We are looking for a great person/family who has a love for dogs and could use the extra loving and cuteness that these two beautiful dogs radiate on a daily basis.

Story
Toby is looking for a low to medium-energy home. Toby found himself in rescue because his human mommy passed away, and his human daddy was not a dog person, nor was he in good health, so he surrendered Toby and his canine friend Snuggles to rescue (Snuggles is also available on our site)He acts like a much younger dog and likes to still play and romp around with his foster's other dogs. He is crate-trained and house-trained. He is very dog-friendly and mostly cat-friendly, but occasionally, he barks at the cat. Toby is now happy and feeling great. He had a dental cleaning and had some teeth extracted. He is getting a daily dose of drops for his dry eyes.He is affectionate and loving. Very treat motivated. No anxieties at all. He sleeps all night in his crate. He will bark when first put in his crate until you give him a treat! Once he gets his treat, he is happy and quiet. This intelligent boy knows he deserves a treat for going into his crate.If you have treats, Toby would love to move to your house. He promises to give you lots of love in exchange for the treats. .Name: Toby BoyBreed: Shih Tzu/CrossbreedSex: MaleAge: 8 years  (estimated)Weight: 14lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: SelectiveAdoption Fee: $350.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:   Texarkana Tx    IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.

Story
Snuggles is looking for a home to live out his senior years. He is 11 years young. If it were not for his teeth, you would have guessed he was a much younger boy. He recently had a dental cleaning, some teeth extracted.Snuggles found himself in rescue because his mommy died and his daddy was not a dog person, nor was he in good health, so he surrendered Snuggles and his friend Toby to rescue (who is also available on our site) He is just the perfect little old man dog. He is quiet, housebroken, crate-trained, and cat- and dog-friendly, too. He hardly ever barks and greets everyone with a wagging tail. This sweet boy has no anxieties. He sleeps all night long in his crate without a peep. Snuggles would do well with a home that is less active and has a soft lap to lay in. He is low energy and loves his treats. He is curious, playful, and still has lots of love to give!Name: SnugglesBreed: Shih TzuSex: MaleAge: 11 years old (estimated)Weight: 15lbsSpayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS: Good with Children: Over 12Good with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $350.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:   Texarkana Tx     IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.

Story
Looking for a fun-loving, playful, toy-squeaking bundle of joy? Look no further than Wonky, our little baby hippo! He’s very dog-friendly, cat-friendly, kid-friendly—just a great all-around dog.Sweet Wonky came to us after his owner's passing, severely matted and had to be shaved down to the skin, so he was butt naked and looked like a baby hippo. Now, he has his hair back and looks more like the adorable Shih Tzu he is.Wonky LOVES any toy that squeaks and will play fetch, though he’s not too keen on bringing the toy back to you.He is crate trained and working on house training. Despite his small size, when Wonky barks, you’d swear you had a hound dog. It’s hilarious to see people’s reactions when they hear that big bark from such a little dog. Luckily, he doesn’t bark in the house or when crated—only outside when he hears other dogs.Wonky is looking for a low to medium energy household but definitely enjoys his outside playtime. If you’re looking for a quirky, lovable companion, Wonky is your guy!Name: WonkyBreed: Shih Tzu/CrossbreedSex: MaleAge: 4 years  (estimated)Weight: 19.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $500.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:   Texarkana Tx  IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.
