Story
Texas story… We are Wonton, Chopstick, and Dumpling, and we were rescued from a Shih Tzu & Poodle mix hoarding situation in Sugarland, Texas. Several rescues were called for help, and 4 Little Paws made the 6-hour round trip from San Antonio to save us. We were all terrified, badly matted, some already shaved down, many covered with ticks, and all of us stunk to high heaven! We were brought to San Antonio to live in a foster home while adjusting to normal life and getting ready for adoption. We are now spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, no longer stinky, and ready to find forever homes! I’m Wonton, a handsome Shih Tzu mix about 6 years old, weighing 10.8 lbs, and everyone at the groomers was impressed by how good I was! I warmed up to my foster mom on day 1, and have been having fun, making friends with everyone, dogs, cats, and humans, young and old, ever since. I love toys and playtime, going for walks, and being carried in your arms like a baby is alright with me. I’m affectionate but not the slober-all-over-you kissy type, but I do love being kissed and cuddled. I enjoy following you around the house and snuggling next to you under a blanket. I’m well behaved, housebroken, and will bark when I need to alert you. PUPDATE... last week, a pretty little Pug/Chihuahua mix named Flower came in as a foster dog, and right away I was smitten- love at first sight! If you are looking for 2 incredibly sweet and well-behaved pups who are awesome together, snuggle together, and play together, then look no further. Inquire about me or the 2 of us today! (Pictures of Flower and her Petfinder listing are coming soon) LOOKING FOR AN APPLICATION? Click on the "More About 4 Little Paws" link. * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Coco is a 6-year-old, 22-pound Shih Tzu with the most loyal little heart. He’s a total velcro dog—where you go, he wants to go. Coco falls asleep gazing lovingly at his person and somehow wakes up doing the exact same thing. His devotion is adorable and undeniable. He’s gentle, affectionate, and happiest when he’s close. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch, working from home, or settling in for the night, Coco will be right there, soaking up every moment. If you’ve been hoping for a constant companion who loves deeply and quietly, Coco is the sweetest little shadow you could ever ask for. Coco will arrive in Albion, NY on December 14 and we would love to have a family waiting for him! Our adoption fee is $400 and unless otherwise stated all dogs and puppies have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, 4DX tested(if age appropriate), Put on heartworm/flea/tick prevention, age appropriately vaccinated, dewormed, vet checked and flown from Puerto Rico.

Story
Shih Tzu puppy fully vetted and ready for adoption.Backstory for Jasper Animal Saints Rescue Society was asked to help with a hoarding situation where several litters of puppies were born in quick succession. Dozens of Shih Tzu were living in a very small apartment when hobby breeding quickly became untenable. It is an honor to help get all of the adults neutered so the breeding stops, as well as ensure that the babies are placed with lifetime families.     Get to Know Jasper Age: 9 months Breed: Shih Tzu birthdate: 2.20.2025 Weight: approximately 10 pounds. He is 85% of his full size. He could stay this size or gain another pound. Vaccines and treatments:  Rabies  Bordetella  DHPP, part one and two   Other tests and procedures for the litter:  Heart worm test - negative  Erlichia, Anaplasma, and Lyme test - negative Fecal test - negative  Additional procedures:  Microchipped Bloodwork -- in normal and healthy ranges Neuter surgery in October, 2025 Requested adoption donation fee is only $900. This is to partly cover his veterinary bills and care expenses that our 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue incurred to help him. Breed and Hair Notes  Jasper has hair and not fur. He is a stunning white Shih Tzu with the sweetest smile and tongue. He is incredibly handsome and distinguished, even as a baby! PLEASE NOTE: Jasper's hair will grow as it is not fur. He will need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care. Jasper has been amazing for his baths, haircuts, and nail trims. He will even just lay down on the grooming table, thankful for the attention, love, and care given to him. Personality Jasper is incredibly loving and playful. He loves to wrestle and nap with his littermate named Ivy, as well as the other puppies we are helping at present. He's also become friends with some of the older Saints like Stanley here in the sanctuary. His favourite thing in the world is to be hugged and carried around.  Ideal Home It is ideal for Jasper to be in a home with other small dogs and/or very dog friendly cats around. He would not do well in a home as the only dog, especially if his people are gone all day at work. Families with children are case-by-case. Jasper will especially thrive in a home that can give him companionship day and night. Jasper would be okay for a few hours on his own with his siblings if you provided him with puzzles and things to do while you’re away.  Plan on sharing your sofa and bedroom with Jasper. He will want to be by your side, no matter where you are and what you are doing.  If you have a very secure fenced-in backyard for running and playing, this is ideal for Jasper. He is going to be a little boy, even full grown. He will need exercise but not miles and miles of daily hiking like a working dog. Jasper is a companion animal in the truest sense of the word. His goal is to love and be loved.  Love and Commitment  At Animal Saints Rescue Society, our goal is to keep dogs out of overcapacity animal control facilities and out of a re-homing cycle. We place the dogs we save into lifetime families. With this in mind, we seek families who understand that an adoption is a lifetime commitment. The families who adopt from us believe that love is not a feeling, it is a decision. Some humans still believe it’s okay to try out a dog for a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years — then discard when they get bored or don’t want to deal with emotional or physical ailments. We are looking for the empathetic, kind, and patient humans in this world who view these Animal Saints as family, and they will do whatever it takes to give them what they need.  Will that family be you? We look forward to finding out and receiving your application!     December 2, 2025, 6:38 pm
