Story
Meet Eclair She is a Shih Tzu/Terrier/Spaniel mix pup who was born on 5/2/25. She is expected to be around 20-25 pounds when she is full-grown, but we can not guarantee that. Eclair was rescued from a humane case where there were over 50 dogs in the house. Most of the adult dogs were around 25 pounds. She is crate-trained, almost fully house-trained, and ready for a home of her own. Some of the dogs from the home require regular grooming, and some do not. There is a chance Eclair might need to visit a groomer every few months, as we don't know exactly who her parents are. Please place an application to be considered to adopt https://www.safeharboranimalrescue.org/application

Story
Teeg is a sweet 2 yr old Shih Tzu - Terrier mix little dog searching for a patient loving home. He is very shy when meeting new people and needs some time to build trust, but once he feels safe his affectionate personality shines through. He’s happiest when he’s close to his person, following them from room to room curling up in bed and simply being a loyal companion.  He is neutered, utd on shots and heartworm negative. He is potty trained with some nightly potty breaks, loves his treats likes to go outside and he would make the perfect little sidekick for someone who enjoys having a constant companion. While Teeg is nervous around men he is much more comfortable with women and would do best in a female lead home where he can feel secure. Teeg would prefer a home with no children and low foot traffic due to overstimulation. Teeg is looking for a common understanding adopter who will give him the time he needs to settle in and accept him for his past and take him for his present. In return he will be a devoted best friend offering love and loyalty. Could Teeg be  your best friend?
