Story
Meet Pete! 6-year-old Shih Tzu | Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted with Penny Pete is a true cuddle bug and lap dog through and through. Within seconds of meeting someone, he’s ready to climb into a lap and stay there — affection is his love language. Sweet, gentle, and devoted, Pete thrives on closeness and connection. Though he’s the natural leader of the duo, Pete’s heart is all about Penny. Wherever he goes, she follows — and if she lags behind, Pete will patiently wait for her or even turn back to walk alongside her. Their bond is lifelong, having been together since birth, and they must be adopted together. Pete gets along with everyone and brings an easygoing, loving presence wherever he goes. He would be happiest in a home that enjoys constant companionship, shared couch time, and welcoming two hearts instead of one. Crate trained Potty trained Pete is ready to give endless love — especially when Penny is right by his side.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you. ##2604076##

Story
Meet Penny! 6-year-old Shih Tzu | Bonded Pair – Must Be Adopted with Pete Penny has big black-cat type energy — super sweet, a little sassy, and fully confident in her own charm. She enjoys her alone time and will happily do her own thing… until she decides it’s time for attention, at which point you are officially her person. Her signature sassy waddle only adds to her diva appeal. Penny is very bonded to her brother, Pete. They’ve been together since birth and find comfort in being side by side — whether walking together or snuggled up for naps. Because of this deep bond, Penny must be adopted with Pete. She is mostly indifferent to other dogs and cats and truly doesn’t mind people, but she prefers to warm up at her own pace before becoming your loyal little bestie. Crate trained Potty trained Penny would thrive in a calm, loving home that appreciates her independent streak, her sweet moments, and the special bond she shares with Pete.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you. ##2604083##

Story
Prince is a 13-15 year old shih tzu mix.  Found as a stray, this sweet boy faced numerous health hurdles, including severe eye and skin issues, which ultimately led to the loss of one of his eyes. But don't let that fool you-he is thriving now, healthy, happy, and ready to snuggle up with his person under the fluffiest blanket. Though he's blind and deaf, Prince is incredibly loving and affectionate. His perfect day is spent in the company of his favorite humans and animals (he's great with both cats and dogs). His ideal world is all about comfort, cuddles, and a cozy spot to nap. Prince may be a senior pup, but he's still got plenty of love to give. Because of his age, he needs a little extra care throughout the day, with frequent potty breaks to avoid accidents-though he's perfectly content to sleep through the night without any issues. If you're looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion who just wants to curl up beside you and share his warm, gentle energy, Prince could be the perfect addition to your home!  Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you. The first step to adopting is to fill out an application for adoption. Once approved we will arrange a time for you to meet the animal you are interested in. If it is a match the adoption can then be completed and you can take home your new furry family member. If it is not a match we will file your approved application and you can wait till you find the perfect match. ##2572487##
