Story

Hi! My name is Aimee and I am looking for a forever home. I was turned into a really scary place called a shelter and my owners told them that I had disappeared for a week and showed back up with half of one of my back legs missing and they couldn't afford to care for me. Fortunately, an employee w/ the shelter contacted a small local rescue who immediately got in touch w/ BCAA to see if they could help her and they said yes! Well, when I got to my foster's home it was quickly determined that what might have happened to me didn't occur in just a week (it was also learned I was kept outside all of the time). It is speculated that due to the extreme matting I had that the circulation had been cut off to that leg which might have caused me to chew it trying to relieve the pain. The vet who saw me agreed and I was placed on antibiotics for a couple of days and then had the leg removed. Lucky for me, by this time I was already used to getting around on 3 legs so I was back to running around in no time and boy, do I feel so much better! The vet feels I am about 4 years old and at my last weigh-in I was 5.69lbs. I do love my food and treats so I might gain a little bit but I should probably stay under 6.5lbs. I am a happy girl who, while I will be a little scared when I first meet new people & going into new situations, it doesn't take me no time to decide if you're safe and then I love getting attention. I have met lots of different size dogs in my foster home and I was a little skeptical of them at first and would do a little growl at them, now I'm doing my best to get one of the ones about my size to play with me. I am pretty good on a leash once I knew I can trust you. I am ok in a crate in that I will cry a little if I see you to see if I can get you to come let me out but otherwise I'm pretty quiet.

PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Story

Valentine’s a 5yo 15lb Shih Tzu. He’s dog and kid friendly. He’s housebroken for popping when kept on a schedule, poop pad and crate trained. He’s used to a secure fenced in yard and likes stroller walks. His back legs do not work but it doesn’t slow him down, he’s really fast and loves to run around his fosters back yard. He’s a big sun bather and loves tons of attention from his people. . He would love another dog to play with but is not a requirement. He can not pee on his own and will need his bladder expressed which can be taught. Valentine’s foster requires a home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, a secure fenced in yard, along with his people giving him tons of love and attention. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Valentine as all dogs should have at least 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Valentine came to Tiny Paws with his back legs not working and needs to have his bladder expressed to pee. He’s neutered, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Bristol, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org
