Story
💔 Looking for a Loving Home for Bear 💔 This is very hard to share, but I need to rehome my beloved Shih Tzu, Bear. Due to my schedule and family obligations, I can’t give him the time and attention he deserves. Bear is a 5-year-old black and white, purebred Shih Tzu (no papers), neutered and fully house trained. We brought him home at 6 weeks old. My son is allergic to dogs so we needed a hypoallergenic breed. He’s been deeply loved his whole life. Bear is a total lap dog who loves to be held, is very sweet, and enjoys playing fetch. He’s protective of his mama but gentle and loyal. He will come with his toys, food and water bowls, two beds, and an end-table style kennel to make his transition easier. I’m looking for a patient, loving home that will treat him like family. If you’re interested in meeting Bear or want more info, please message me. 🐾

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Ben – A Brave Little Survivor Breed: Shih Tzu Age: ~10 years Location: Fuquay-Varina / Middlesex, NC Adoption Fee: $300.  The rescue will pay for his heartworm treatment and neutering.   Ben’s story is heartbreaking, but his resilience is inspiring. This 10-year-old Shih Tzu was found as a stray, completely blind, severely underweight, and heartworm positive. Despite everything he has endured, Ben is gentle, loving, and so grateful for every bit of kindness he receives. Ben has begun the first phase of his heartworm treatment and will need a local adopter or foster who can take him to his veterinary appointments in Fuquay-Varina, NC. When cleared, he will also need to be neutered and receive a dental. He is currently working on his potty manners, which should continue to improve after he is neutered and settled into a routine. Ben is the sweetest boy—calm, affectionate, and eager for a safe home where he can finally rest. After years of neglect, he deserves comfort, patience, and love. If you can provide a soft place for Ben to heal and thrive, please submit an application today.

Story
Meet Yeshi! 🐾🖤 Yeshi is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a big personality.. He’s housebroken, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative—ready for a fresh start. Yeshi has been through a lot and needs time to trust people. He’s looking for a very understanding and patient adopter, preferably someone with experience owning the breed. Once he feels safe, he can be a loyal and loving companion—but he needs to go at his own pace. Because of his sensitive nature, a no-children household is a must. If you think you can give Yeshi the calm, consistent love he needs, please call the shelter at 910-259-7022, Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 12 PM. Sometimes the ones who need love the most are the ones who’ve never really had it. Let’s help Yeshi find his person. 💛🐶
