Story
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

Story
Shy but Loving Lap DogSnowball is a 5 year old shih tzu mix boy who is looking for a patient home. He is very shy when he first meets you, but after about 3 days he will be your loyal best friend. He is about 25 pounds and is very well housebroken. He is good with other dogs and with cats. He is extremely playful with toys and loves to squeak and chase them. He can entertain himself with toys for hours. He is very affectionate and will hop into your lap. Kids make him nervous, but older kids who would be patient for him to come around would be fine. His breed is unknown, but we believe he is a shih tzu mix. He does shed but he does not need regular grooms like a typical shih tzu. All pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and on a flea/tick preventative.  Cats are tested for FIV/FeLV and dogs are tested for heartworms. Adoption fee is $110 for cats and $150 for dogs. To meet this pet, please fill out a dog application or cat application.  Not able to adopt?  Inquire about fostering or sponsoring this pet.  For more information visit www.allpawsrescue.info.  May 15, 2024, 11:48 am

Story
Templeton. Kinda makes you think of an English movie with some guy in a smoking jacket with leather patches on the elbows, standing in a library in front of a fire, doesn't it? But don't worry, I am not at all like that! When I was at the animal control, I guess they ran out of "normal dog names, and they gave me this one to try to make me feel better or special or something. I was found as a stray in a neighboring town and my hair was so long and so matted together, they would have to carry me around. I could hardly move and when I did, it hurt and pulled. After foster mom got me, it took her and the groomer 4 hours to get all the matts and tangles off me so that I could actually walk again. Boy, did that feel better! Over the next few days, I went to the vet and had some x-rays done and was found to have some degenerative disc disease in my upper back and the medications they gave me really helped a Lot! I feel like a new puppy!! I am an 8-year-old shih tzu mix and get along with everyone at my foster mom's house. Big dogs, little dogs, puppies, kitties or cats...they are all ok with me. I walk like a dream on a leash and am potty trained. I will bark to go outside here. And I sleep in my own little doggie bed at night. I will be happy in a house that has friendly pets and nice people but I am not sure how I am with small children so that is probably not the best for me. Older, dog-friendly children would be ok. But I have a couple of must haves. I feel good on my medicines so I would like to go to a house that will keep me on them. Cosequin, fish oil and meloxicam or whatever your vet will order for me to keep me pain free. AND I need to have regular grooming. I don't want to be a matted mess ever again!! If you can give me those two things, please apply to adopt me! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Clara Bow is a senior sweetheart with a heart of gold and a story that speaks volumes. While her past may be a mystery, her future is filled with hope and the promise of a loving forever home. At around 12 years young, Clara Bow is a wise old soul who has seen the world through her own unique lens. Despite having limited vision and being an old girl, she doesn't let anything hold her back from enjoying life's simple pleasures. She may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings due to her limited vision, but once she feels comfortable, her spirit shines bright. One of Clara Bow's favorite pastimes is exploring a fenced-in yard, where she can navigate at her own pace and soak in the scents of the world around her. But her true joy comes from snuggling up on a lap and feeling the gentle scratch of loving hands along her sides. She thrives on affection and human connection. Whether she's lounging around the house or riding shotgun in the car, Clara Bow is content as long as she's by your side. She gets along famously with people and dogs alike, spreading joy wherever she goes with her sweet disposition and little tail wags that she has just added. Clara Bow's ideal home is one filled with warmth, patience, and plenty of love. She may have her senior moments, but her heart is as young and vibrant as ever. With a soft place to land and a family who will cherish her for the precious soul she is, Clara Bow is ready to embark on the next chapter of her journey. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this special girl, don't wait another moment. There is nothing more fulfilling than experiencing the unconditional love and gratitude that only a senior dog can offer. Clara Bow's adoption fee is $100.

Story
If you are looking for a high octane, energizer bunny who takes naps nestled up close to their person, then I'm your guy. Nelly's the name, being cute is the game. It's not vain to say I am the handsomest 2 year old, 7 lb, Shih Tzu you'll ever see -- Those are just the facts. While I am new to such things as "toys," I will say that I have mastered those things you call bully sticks, and I do love playing and carousing with my fellow foster pups. I love to run wild outside with my friends so a fenced yard is a MUST -- catch me if you can! Sure, I play hard, but what I want more than anything is a good lap snuggle, so if you need a lap dog, I'm your man. I'm a good boy and will make my nest in a crate at bedtime, but I would be more than happy to cozy up with my human if that's an option at bedtime. I'm a quick learner and doing quite well with potty training (I sleep through the night without incident, no problem). I'm still working on harnessing all my energy when it comes to leash walking, but I am an earnest student and as long as I have a stylish vest/harness to prance about in, I'll be good to go in no time. I'm just one rambunctious cuddler looking for my forever family. Due to my tiny stature I will not be placed in a home with young children. I’m up to date on all my shots, have had a dental, had a negative heartworm test and am on monthly preventative. I’m also neutered, dewormed and microchipped. Ready and waiting, folks. My adoption fee is $425.00. If you are interested after reading my bio, please fill out an application on AAP’s website
