Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application The shelter called us to take Bubby. He is a great little dog but has mobility issues in his back legs.  It doesnt stop him from getting around though.  he goes down steps but then barks to get up the steps cause he just cant do it with his back legs.  He uses them, but then they give out. We had another little one like this so not sure if it was due to an injury or a disc problem.  He is sweet as can be and just a good boy.  He is probably a senior at 9 or so.  Happy, loves to eat, barks to go outside or get off of things he cant jump down from.  Smart Smart boy. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 16, 2025, 1:55 pm

Story
Mia is a 9-month-old scruffy terrier shih tzu mix with a big personality and endless energy. Always ready for adventure and a romp, Mia spends her time playing with other dogs and loving on her humans. Outside and in day care, she is the star of the show, always ready for the next photo op and to hear the latest gossip. While her personality might be larger than life, her petite 20 lb size makes her ideal for almost any living situation. Mia asks her future family to be active and ready to have the time of their lives. She thrives with structure and pleasing her person. When she has an outlet for her energy- call her a little energizer bunny. In her foster home, she is in daycare while foster mom is at work. This works wonders for Mias socialization and play needs. Other outlets can include runs, jogging, nonstop fetch, agility training, or a lure course. She is ideal for agility!   She gets along with all dogs. Her personality is a bit overwhelming for the timid or scared cats. However, if you have a cat that is confident, cool, and Garfield like, then they just might be a match!   Mia is spayed, vaccinated, and chipped. If you’re looking for a fun, spirited young dog with tons of potential, Mia might be your girl. If interested in adopting or fostering Mia, please complete an application, which can be found on our website at www.twentypawsrescue.com/forms-applications.

Story
Meet Billy, the irresistibly adorable Shih Tzu mix who bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain lovable Wookiee from Star Wars, yes, we’re talking about Chewy! This sweet senior boy was found alone on the streets, dirty, severely matted, and unwell. After some detective work, we located his former owner who, through heartbreaking circumstances beyond their control, had to surrender him. With love and compassion, Billy was placed in a safe foster home where he’s been thriving ever since. Billy is a gentle, goofy soul with so much charm that wins everyone over. Even though his past owner mentioned he is 16 years old, we believe he may be younger and an agile senior. He gets adorably excited when he sees his leash and loves meeting new dogs and people on his walks, he insists on saying hello to every pup he passes! At home, he’s a total shadow dog, following his foster human everywhere and always eager for a snuggle. If you're the type who loves lazy mornings in bed, Billy will be your perfect companion, snuggled up right beside you. He’s smart, eager to please, and picks up on training quickly. Billy has so much love left to give. Apply to adopt this sweet senior today and make his golden years truly special.
