Story
Meet Trixy! Trixy is looking for a warm lap to cuddle up on to get through the winter. Her previous home reported that she is a great lap dog once she warms up to you and that she loves to play with toys. She has been a little worried meeting other dogs, but could do well with a calm, neutral dog friend. Trixy has a history of living with a cat and loving to play and cuddle with the cat. She could also live with children who can respect her boundries and participate in her care.

Story
We got Sparky at a pet store when he was a puppy, and he is currently 11 years old. He is a good dog, a bit grumpy like all Shih Tzus. Right now, he is very bored at home since I work long hours, and that’s why I want to find him a new home with someone who can dedicate more time to him. He is a bit picky with his food; over the years, he no longer likes kibble, and I have to make him homemade meals.Sparky also loves being with people or his owners, but he likes his personal space, so I don't recommend hugging and kissing him too much since he doesn't really like it. I call him my grumpy old man; he has never bitten anyone because we all know when to give him love and when to give him space, but he is an adorable dog.

DOB 4-30-2025 DeChen is looking for his new home and Mom! He's a beautiful Shih Tzu with a good personality, loves to play and gets along with others. DeChen is complete on all medical, up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative and has received a ProHeart6 preventative injection.

You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
🐾 Meet Maizey 🐾 Maizey is a small, gentle girl who is just beginning to learn how wonderful life can be. She came from a difficult situation where she lived with many animals and had limited positive interaction with people, so the world is still a big and sometimes overwhelming place for her. 💛 Personality & Progress Maizey is very shy, but incredibly sweet. She prefers to move at her own pace and does best with calm, patient people who understand that trust takes time. She is food motivated, which is a great tool for helping her build confidence through positive experiences. 🐶 Dog Friends Maizey is comfortable with dogs her size and truly blossoms when she has a confident, friendly small dog to help show her the ropes. A confident canine companion is required in her new home to help her feel safe. She is unsure about larger dogs and we have not seen her with cats yet. 🏡 Home Environment Maizey is looking for a quiet, adult home in a low-traffic neighborhood. She is not suited for city living or busy environments and will thrive in a calm, predictable routine. ✨ Maizey has so much potential and will reward a patient adopter with a deeply special bond. Watching her gain confidence and discover joy will be incredibly meaningful for the right home. Start the process to meet sweet Maizey today!
