Story
Hercules lives up to his name — strong, loyal, and fiercely devoted to the one he loves most. This handsome pup forms deep bonds with his person and thrives in a calm, one-on-one environment where he can truly shine.Due to his protective nature, Hercules needs a home with a single adult owner who understands dog behavior and can provide firm, consistent guidance. He becomes very attached to his person and may act defensively around strangers or other animals. But once he trusts you, you’ll have a loving, loyal companion who’s always by your side.Hercules would do best in a quiet home without a lot of visitors or chaos. He’s smart, trainable, and eager to please — he just needs the right environment to feel safe and thrive. No apartments or condos

Milo can be a little nervous when meeting new people, and he has a clear preference for the company of men. Once he feels safe and secure, Milo's affectionate personality shines through. He loves a cozy bed, a nice gentle walk, and is happiest when he's with his person. Could you be the Pawfect match for sweet Milo?

Kobe **Currently Available for Adoption!** Good with Kids & Dogs! Meet Kobe! 4 yr./31 lb./Male/Shih Tzu Mix Are you looking for a fun-loving little scruff ball to join your family? Well… look no further — Kobe might be your guy! He’s got big dog energy in a small package and a personality that fills the whole room! Kobe absolutely loves to play — tug, fetch, chasing treats for sport — he’s always ready for fun. Once he’s had his playtime, he easily downshifts, settles in, and looks up at you with some of the most soulful eyes you’ll ever see. Kobe would thrive in just about any home that understands his need for play, enrichment, and engagement. He’s a true favorite at our rescue and has already stolen countless hearts. In fact, we love him so much that we’re offering free follow-up training sessions to his future family (local adopters only) so we can share everything he’s learned and help set everyone up for success. We think this boy is truly one in a million — all he’s missing now is a family to call his own.

Shih Tzu

Foster, RI

Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cody is an adorable 13 year old Shih Tzu mix who came to us after his owner passed away. Cody is a little guy only weighing 9 pounds. He spends his days snoozing, getting cuddled, and eating. Cody has been great with every dog he has met but he probably should not be with bigger active dogs because of his size. We have not heard Cody bark yet but once he is comfortable in his environment he may start being more vocal. This little man just wants a comfortable place to live out his remaining years. Cody is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, recently had full blood work and a dental. He requires eye drops twice a day for dry eye and is also eating a prescription hydrolyzed diet for his skin. He will need medicated baths and may also need Cytopoint injections for his skin in the future. To apply to adopt Cody, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt
