Story
PLEASE READ FULLY TO SEE REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION Help us find a forever home for Michelle a beautiful 3-year-old female Shih Tzu who was rescued from a puppy mill with her sister Romy. She been through a lot and is now seeking a loving family who can provide her with the care and attention she deserves. Michelle, with her lovely cream-colored coat, is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She is ready to embark on her new journey with her forever family. While Michelle is almost housebroken, she may still require a little patience and guidance in her new home. She is slowly coming out of her shell and has shown remarkable progress since her rescue. Although she may initially be cautious around new people, she quickly warms up and will become affectionate companion. Michelle will need a home with another dog to continue to learn how to be the best dog she can be as well as a completely secure fenced yard. Due to Michelle’s small size, it is essential that she finds a home with older children who can understand and respect their delicate nature. Michelle is eagerly searching for a family who can provide her with a calm and patient environment, allowing her to continue building trust and feeling safe. She deserves a loving home that understands her past and is committed to giving her the love, care, and attention she needs. To meet Michelle go to petresqinc.org and fill out an adoption application.  Michelle DOES NOT walk on a leash. She enjoys running around in a fenced in yard. July 15, 2025, 7:31 am

Story
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY FOR ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS Meet Suzie – A Special Shih Tzu with a Heart Full of Love Suzie is a 3 year old, 15lb Shih Tzu who has overcome so much and is now ready to live the life she deserves. Rescued from a puppy mill, Suzie spent her early years being used for breeding—but no more babies for this girl! She’s now spayed, vaccinated, and soaking up love in her foster home. Suzie is a gentle soul who lives peacefully with two foster dog brothers (80 lbs and 40 lbs) and three cats. She’s a sweet, quiet companion who loves to be right by her foster mom’s side, she’s truly a little shadow who just wants to feel safe and close to her person. When Suzie was first rescued, she was severely matted and had to be groomed immediately. During that first grooming, it was discovered that all four of her paws are deformed, a birth defect confirmed by a vet, meaning she has no bone structure in her feet. But don't worry, Suzie doesn’t let it stop her! She gets around with a precious little waddle, and while she can’t take long walks, she enjoys romping in the grass or padding around on carpet. Suzie may have unique needs, but has endless love! She also receives two daily eye medications (one drop, one cream) due to past neglect. She’s a trooper with her meds and always stays calm during her care routine. Suzie is wee-wee pad trained and will also potty outside when given the chance. Suzie doesn’t drink water from a bowl or bottle, but she stays hydrated through her wet or freeze-dried food mixed with extra water. She LOVES her meals and gets visibly excited when it’s time to eat! No Squeaky Toys, Please. Suzie does not like squeaky toys, the sound makes her panic, so a quiet and calm environment is best for her.  Suzie's ideal home would be a calm,  quiet environment where someone is home often to keep her company. She will need someone committed to continue her simple eye care and food routine. She would love a soft surface or grassy area to explore safely. Suzie is a beautiful example of resilience and trust. After everything she’s been through, she’s ready for a loving forever home where she can spend the rest of her days safe, adored, and pampered like she deserves. If you are ready to give Suzie the life she has always dreamed of and deserved, please go to petresqinc.org to fill out an adoption application. Questions will be answered once we have an application.  July 2, 2025, 9:17 am

Flurry is a spunky and energetic little boy. He is nervous at first, but then full of love and licks. He was born in rescue after both parents were surrendered. All of his siblings and dad have found their homes. Mom is skye terrier and dad is shih tzu. He loves to run and play with the other small breed dogs but is a little afraid of the larger dogs. He likes to play with the cats. He will snuggle up beside you at night or sleep in his playpen area. He has only been in a crate with the door opened to play area. Flurry knows how to use a doggy door to go outside. He has been completely vetted and is ready for his forever home.

Story
Layla is a playful, affectionate family dog who loves people and other dogs. She’s very active and does best in a home where someone is around most of the time. She doesn’t do well crated or confined to one area of the house—she wants to be part of the family. Layla barks a lot, mostly just for fun, so she’ll need a home that’s okay with a noisy dog. She’s not house trained yet and will need a patient family willing to work with her on that. She also has severe allergies that will likely need lifelong management. When she came in, her skin was badly infected, but with treatment and a new diet, she’s doing much better. She may need ongoing care, including monthly allergy shots. Layla is a great dog with a lot of love to give. She’ll thrive with a committed family who understands her needs and is ready to make her part of their everyday life. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.
