Story
Bubbles and her sister Buttercup were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. We believe the mom was a yorkie their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd last year so they are now a year old. Bubbles has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs about 10 pounds and is full grown now. Bubbles is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Bubbles is a very friendly and a super snuggler! She and Buttercup are very bonded and we would very much like to get them a home together. They are so funny together! They play and run zoomies around the house. They would do well with older children and we have not had them around cats but we feel like she would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. we have been trying to get them adopted together for a long time so we will consider splitting them up to the right homes If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

OLLIE: 6 POUNDS OF FLUFF, CHAOS & POTENTIAL! Hi, I’m Ollie! I’m 4 months old, weigh about 6 pounds, and I’m currently accepting applications for my future personal assistant. By personal assistant, I mean someone who feeds me, cuddles me, cleans up after me, and tells me I’m adorable approximately 847 times a day. I’m still a baby, which means I’m a blank canvas just waiting to become your very best friend! I’m young enough to learn how to live happily with children, and with proper introductions and gentle handling, I could grow up to be an amazing family companion. Am I potty trained? I’m working on it! Crate trained? We’re practicing! Walking nicely on a leash? Let’s just say the leash and I are still negotiating our relationship. I’m a puppy, so I’ll need patience, consistency, training, and lots of positive reinforcement. In return, I promise to fill your home with laughter, puppy kisses, and enough cuteness to make you forget why you walked into a room in the first place. At 6 pounds, I don’t take up much space unless you count the enormous space I plan to occupy in your heart! Ready to make Ollie part of your family? Apply today! If you feel that she is a good fit for you/your family, please complete an application from our site, miraclesforsatosrescue.org FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION, PLEASE COMPLETE AN APPLICATION! https://www.miraclesforsatosrescue.org/adopt Please then email the application back to us at miraclesforsatosrescue@gmail.com ------------------------------------- PLEASE READ: She is currently located in Puerto Rico.
