Story
This charming little Shih Tzu is far more sweetheart than his name would suggest! At a petite 9.5 pounds, Oscar has spent his life as a breeder but is now ready to swap his past for a future filled with love, cozy laps, and gentle adventures. He gets along well with other dogs, though he can sometimes put on a bit of a tough-guy act -- don’t be fooled, though; he’s a big softie at heart and backs down quickly when he realizes there’s nothing to fuss about. True to his breeder days, Oscar used to be quite the ladies’ man, but now that he’s neutered, he’s far more interested in cuddles than romance. He absolutely loves to be picked up, held, and fussed over, soaking up all the affection he’s missed out on for so long. Oscar hasn’t met any cats yet, but his gentle demeanor suggests he’d adapt with proper introductions. This little guy is looking for a patient, loving family who will let him blossom into the devoted companion he’s always wanted to be -- someone who will scoop him into their arms and show him just how sweet life can be outside a kennel. If you’re searching for a tiny friend with a big heart and an adorable dash of sass, Oscar is ready to be your new shadow and cuddle buddy! Oscar is a male ShihTzu who was was born approximately 6-11-19 and weighs 9 lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. He also had a dental procedure to polish up his teeth.

Story
Duchess is a gentle, sweet-natured girl with a soft heart and a quiet charm that blooms once she feels safe and loved. Rescued from a difficult past, she's still a bit shy at first -- but once she warms up, she’s deeply affectionate and eager to be near her people. Duchess is crate trained, fully potty trained, and does well with other dogs. She’s comfortable around respectful kids over 10 and would make a wonderful companion for a calm, loving family. While she's not quite sure what to make of toys just yet, she’s beginning to explore her playful side and would thrive in a home where she can continue to gain confidence at her own pace. A fenced yard or regular walks would help her settle in, but once bonded, Duchess will be your shadow. With her soulful eyes and gentle spirit, it’s easy to imagine Duchess becoming a loyal human's best friend -- and a beloved member of the family. Duchess was rescued from a life of breeding litter after litter. She has put "mom life" behind her and is ready to be a spoiled princess. Duchess is a female ShihTzu who was was born approximately 6-12-21 and weighs 13 lbs, but appears much more petite; she's just solid. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. She also had a dental procedure to polish up her teeth. Adoption fee is $600 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs.

Story
Cupcake is as sweet as her name, with a spunky spirit and a heart full of love just waiting to share. Though she is mostly blind (seeing figures but limited), she doesn’t let that slow her down one bit. True to her Shih Tzu nature, she is a big dog in a little body, full of bravery and a strong desire to explore her world. Cupcake does well with calm, respectful dogs and is happy to meet visiting children, though a home without full-time kids would be the best fit for her. A securely fenced yard is a must to help her safely satisfy her adventurous side. With her fearless attitude and endless affection, Cupcake is ready to find a family who will cheer her on every step of the way. Cupcake is a female ShihTzu who was was born approximately 4-17-21 and weighs 13 lbs. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. She was seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist where it was determined that she has a premature cataract on the left but is not a candidate for surgical repair due to the structure of her eye. She previously had her right eye removed due to an injury. Adoption fee is $450 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs.
