Story

This little 10-year-old sweetheart weighs just about 10 pounds and is the definition of a cozy companion. He loves nothing more than curling up in a warm lap and soaking in all the cuddles he can get. If you’re looking for a calm, loving presence by your side, he’s your guy. He does best in a quieter home and is good with older animals and respectful children, especially those who understand giving him space when he needs it. He can be a bit grumpy with high-energy pets or overly hands-on kids, so a mellow household is ideal. As a senior, he is hard of hearing and has cataracts in both eyes, but he navigates familiar spaces well and is still full of love. He may not hear you call his name, but he’ll feel your touch and gladly snuggle right in. This precious boy is looking for a patient, gentle home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort, love, and lots of lap time. 💙🐾

Story

3/20/25 Roberta is a very sweet girl that prefers to snooze in her crate. Roberta gets along with all the other dogs here, whether they are small or large. Roberta needs a fenced yard as she does not know how to walk on a leash. She is due for a dental next month, and we will also have the vet do a good physical on her at that time. 10/23/24 We can't believe Roberta is still here. Someone, PLEASE give her a home of her own! Roberta is a 9 year old gold and white Shih Tzu weighing about 11 pounds. She came to us a year ago, and she likes to think she's in charge. This girlie loves to be out in the back fenced yard, monitoring the other dogs and the neighborhood. She likes to find a sunny spot to catch some sun, then moves to a cool spot to enjoy the breeze. She's still working on her house training and relaxing around people. Roberta gets along with the other dogs here and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She needs her own family that can help her learn all the secrets of being a family member in a home. To inquire about Roberta, please complete an application FIRST, at www.bongosbuddiesrescue.com. UPDATE - 10/14/25 /Roberta recently had her vaccinations updated and at her visit the vet told us to continue waiting on doing a dental. She had lost a couple of her bad teeth, and the vet said at this age, she'd prefer to not do a dental on her as her tarter is not a concern at this time. Her sight is dimming, but there is nothing our vet thinks is a concern with her aging. She's a sweet girl that really wants little from her humans other than trips out to potty, 2 meals a day, and a treat at bedtime. She prefers to spend her time in her bed with little attention from her humans as many former breeder dogs do.
