Story
The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, you MUST contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com directly. There is an application process and adoption fee. ----------- Oliver is a 20-pound Shih Tzu with a little extra fluff and a whole lot of personality! This bright, happy 1-year-old boy is full of fun and energy.  Oliver loves his toys, lives for his zoomies, and has a playful spark that will make you smile every single day. Don’t let his good looks fool you. Oliver is more than just a pretty face. He’s smart, attentive, and doing great with housetraining. He is eager to listen and learn from his people. Like his namesake from Oliver Twist, this sweet pup started life with humble beginnings after being orphaned at a rural SPCA, but his story is turning into something wonderful. He has young puppy-like energy and is ready for a forever home filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few squeaky toys along the way.  Oliver has been cooperative for baths and grooming, which is such a plus!  Oliver could be an only dog or have another dog in the home who weighs under 25lbs. Oliver has not started leash walking just yet. Oliver is very strong and tends to get underfoot, so he would not be a good fit for someone with balance issues or a senior citizen. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD.  The secure fence must be attached to the home, 4 feet or higher with gaps with no larger than 3 inches.  An invisible fence, enclosed patio or terrace without grass, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions. We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee: $500January 27, 2026, 3:33 pm

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##
