Story
Snapshot of Bingo: Size? Small! Activity Level? Medium - I like to snuggle the most but I'm also okay with playing outside or occasionally get the zoomies. Noise Level? Medium - I bark to let you know something is happening or when the other dogs are barking but I quiet down quickly. Good with Dogs? Yep! Although I would love to be an only dog or in a home with another calm, easy going adult dog. Good with Cats? Yes, they're SO boring. Good with Kids? I'm great with respectful kids! Good with Strangers? Yep! Potty Trained? Yep! Crate Trained? Nope, but I don't need a crate because I behave well when left alone Shedding? Minimal Bingo is a sweet adult Shih Tzu mix with a heart full of love and a soft spot for human attention—whether you're a grown-up or a kiddo, she’s all in! This little lady is the definition of a loyal companion and would love nothing more than to be your shadow throughout the day (especially if your couch is involved). She’s potty trained and trustworthy in the home, even when left alone—no crate needed! Bingo enjoys lazy afternoons relaxing next to her people, sniffing around the yard, and, of course, indulging in tasty treats. Bingo gets along well with cats (she simply ignores them), and she’s friendly with other dogs. That said, she’d thrive best as an only dog or with a mellow canine companion who respects her space. She prefers peace and quiet over puppy chaos. She does have some resource guarding tendencies with other dogs, but she’s a fantastic communicator—giving plenty of clear, respectful warnings that make it easy to manage in the right home. Bingo is looking for a calm, loving home where she can be someone’s favorite couch buddy and treat taste-tester. If you’re searching for a well-mannered, affectionate companion with just the right amount of sass and sweetness—Bingo might just be your perfect match. Bingo is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations appropriate for her age.

Story
History: Ashley is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: ✨ Meet Ashley ✨ This sweet girl is equal parts playful and gentle, with the happiest tail that never seems to stop wagging. She likes exploring the toy bin and has even joined her foster sibling in a bark or two when she’s feeling extra spirited. She’s been such a good girl in her crate, sleeping through the night with only a few minutes of whimpers at the start. Every night she’s kept her crate clean and dry, which makes her foster mom very proud! Potty training is off to a great start, she goes outside regularly and should catch on quickly with a little patience. She’s still learning that pets and cuddles are safe and wonderful, but she already likes to follow her foster mom around, walk in happy little circles when spoken to, and will even sneak in gentle hand kisses. She wants to be close without being too clingy, which makes her the perfect balance of independent and affectionate. Outside, she’s catching on to leash walking (though she likes to trail behind for now). She has an energetic side when she’s playing but also knows how to relax and curl up, she even snoozed for hours wrapped in a cozy blanket, finally letting herself feel comfortable and safe. She gets along great with the resident small dog, coexisting peacefully without any issues. This sweetheart is still coming out of her shell and will continue to grow into her personality with time. If you’re looking for a gentle, playful companion who’s ready to blossom into her best self, she just might be the perfect match for you!

History: Zoey FKA Starr was recently returned to rescue when she was not bonding well with her adopter :( She thrives with another dog around and will need that in a future home. She is overall not the most cuddly dog BUT if you are okay with her in your presence, enjoying a good nap, and appreciating you in that way, she would LOVE to join your home!

Story
History: Emmitt is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon! A Note from the Foster: Meet Emmitt! Emmitt is a fun-loving little guy with a heart full of love to give. He’s happiest playing with any kind of ball and romping around with his two larger foster siblings. Emmitt gets along wonderfully with both small and large dogs and would truly thrive in a home with another canine companion. He’s also a total people pup — you’ll often find him right at your heels, eager to snuggle and shower you with kisses. Emmitt is working hard on his potty training and does best when kept on a consistent schedule. He’s doing great overnight and has very few accidents. Because he’s still young, he’ll also benefit from a basic obedience class (which is required for all dogs under two years old). As a Shih Tzu, Emmitt will need regular grooming every 4–6 weeks to keep his coat fluffy, clean, and soft. Like many young dogs, Emmitt is still learning the ropes of being a house pup. He’ll need a patient family willing to help him continue his potty training and manners — and to keep an eye on their belongings! He has been known to proudly parade off with a bathroom rug or two. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick and a sweet, snuggly companion to come home to, Emmitt is your guy!

History: Eliza is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: Meet Eliza! 💜🐾 Eliza is a sweet little Shih Tzu nugget who’s sure to steal your heart. She’s extra special — she doesn’t have a tail, which somehow makes her even cuter! Eliza loves everyone she meets — dogs, people, and anyone willing to give her a cuddle. She’s full of joy and has the happiest little bark-and-spin routine when it’s mealtime! We suspect this excitement comes from her tough start in a commercial breeding environment, but her spirit was never broken. Now she’s ready to enjoy her best years surrounded by love. 💕 She’s making great progress on her potty training and still has a little more to learn. She currently enjoys a fenced yard in her foster home and will need some practice walking on a leash. Eliza would be happiest with a family who loves close companionship — she’s the perfect little shadow who will follow you everywhere: the kitchen, the couch, even the bathroom! If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate sidekick to brighten your days, Eliza might just be your girl. 🌸
