Story

Meet Widget — a 5-year-old, 13 lb Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix with the sweetest underbite and a heart full of love! Quick Facts: Name: Widget Breed: Shih Tzu/Yorkie Mix Age: 5 years old Weight: 13 lbs. House-Trained: Almost there! Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Not tested – but would prefer a calm adult household Energy Level: Medium Fence Required: No About Widget’s Breed: Our best guess is that Widget is Shih Tzu and Yorkie mix. The Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix, often called a Shorkie, is a small but spirited companion that blends the affectionate, gentle nature of the Shih Tzu with the bold, lively personality of the Yorkshire Terrier. These dogs are typically loyal, playful, and thrive on being close to their people. Shorkies can be a bit stubborn, but their intelligence and eagerness to please make them trainable with patience and consistency. With their compact size, loving temperament, and adaptable energy levels, they make wonderful pets for families, singles, or seniors looking for a devoted lap dog with a touch of spunk. Widget is a gentle, easygoing little guy who has almost mastered potty training and is already crate trained. He can even be trusted outside of his crate since he’s not destructive. Widget is a bit of a ladies’ man, preferring the company of female energy, though he’s friendly with everyone once he warms up! He hasn’t lived with kids yet, but would likely do well with older, respectful children. Widget’s Wonderful Traits: • Crate trained and nearly potty trained (likely pad-trained in the past) • Non-destructive, can be left alone without worry • Cat-friendly, currently lives peacefully with three feline roommates • Loves leashed walks, and proudly displays his adorable underbite for all to see! • Gentle & timid, takes time to warm up to men but bonds deeply once he does • Great appetite, working on gaining a little weight • Ideal home: with women or female energy, couples, or families who are home often and want a loyal lap companion Widget is a sweet, loving pup who thrives on companionship and will happily follow his people around the house or curl up for cuddles. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate little man who will adore you endlessly, Widget is ready to be your devoted best friend!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 10/30/2020(RR/KC*) Hi, I'm Pepsi, I am a 5 year old Shuh Tzu mix. By nature, I am a sweet, loving and affectionate little boy. I do have some trust issues, so it takes me a few minutes to come around. When I do, we will become best friends. I like toys and am very playful. I am good with other dogs. I am good with children, but again it takes me a minute to warm up. I enjoy going for walks or sitting on the couch. I love to sleep right next to you. I am not loud, nor do I bark a lot. I like women, men take me a bit longer to warm up to. I am wishing for a forever home for Christmas. (RR/KC*)Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, neutered and micro-chipped.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Minnie has special needs, please click on her photo to read her bio prior to applying.Minnie isn't perfect, but she's pretty close. When she entered foster care, we had a long list of health concerns to address- issues that had been ignored for some time. Thanks to the generous donors of CARE, and to her foster family and veterinary team, she now has the ability to find her forever home. We have done the ground work to provide info to Minnie's future humans so that she can live a (mostly) normal life. Minnie is such a wonderful dog, one of the best we've had the pleasure to meet- she is almost perfect. Minnie has epilepsy. Her condition is being managed with daily medicine, but she will need experienced humans who are willing to continue to manage her medical needs for life. We have no doubt that she will be the very best addition to a home, our only challenge is finding an angel to continue her care and ensure it is never an afterthought again. She requires humans who are ok with affording her regular vet visits, medications, and grooming. Someone willing to manage her condition, and keep her safe. She would do best with a fenced in yard (physical fencing appropriate for a toy breed), and a home where her humans are not gone for long hours. All children in her forever home must be 10 or older. She would prefer a home that is on the quiet side, and routine is a plus. She is wonderful with both dogs and cats, and would love another small breed dog (she adores small breed males) to spend her days with. An experienced dog family is a must, one that has experience with special needs dogs- is preferred. If you think you may be a great match based on her requirements, please apply. We will provide more detailed info to those families that may be a match.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2025, 2:28 pm
