Story
 Cupid is here to steal your heart. This sweet, purebred Shih Tzu girl is just 2.5 years old and weighs about 15 pounds. Cupid is a bundle of furry fun who is always ready for PLAY. She is obsessed with squeaky toys and absolutely adores her ball. When she is not entertaining herself or begging her person to throw the ball (or retrieve it from under the couch), she loves wrestling with one of her foster brothers or sisters. When it is time to relax, she switches gears easily and becomes a champion snuggler, always happy to share a sweet kiss or two. Cupid, or 'Cewpie', came from a very loving home. Sadly, her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her due to health concerns so that Cupid could have the life she deserves. Out of respect for her former owner’s wishes, Cupid will only be placed with a younger, active family that has another similarly sized, playful dog for her to bond with. No exceptions. She loves exploring the yard and is ALWAYS up for a walk. Rain, snow, or sunshine - Cupid is an outdoorsy girl! While she may not walk in a perfectly straight line yet, she does quite well on a leash and will be a rockstar in no time. This smart girl has great house manners. She is housebroken, though she previously relied on pee pads due to her owner’s health, and she is quickly getting the hang of doing all her business outside.  Cupid does not chew or get into things she should not, which has earned her some freedom to roam a limited area of the house when her foster parents step out. At night, she sleeps soundly in her foster mom’s big bed. She is also cat friendly. Cupid will need regular professional grooming to keep her coat healthy and comfortable. If you have a groomer reference, please include it with your application.If you have further questions about Cupid, please email 4leggedlayover@gmail.comAdoption Fee: $450 which INCLUDES spay or neuter surgery, microchip, vaccinations, and current flea/tick/heartworm prevention.  Apply today at  https://pawsandprayers.org/adoption-application/ Applications on other sites will not work. IMPORTANT!! Your vet MUST HAVE PERMISSION to speak with us. Please do this ASAP after applying. If the vet can't speak with us, your application will not be considered.December 26, 2025, 6:44 pm

Story
This 10-year-old, 10-pound Shipoo may have limited vision and hearing, but he makes up for it with endless love and sweetness. He’s a gentle soul who just wants to be near his person and feel safe. Because he can’t see or hear well, walks on a leash aren’t really his thing — he prefers to just stand close or explore at his own pace. He would do best with someone who is home most of the time. Leo becomes anxious if he can’t find you and may bark until you return, so he wouldn’t do well in an apartment or with long periods alone. He recently had a dental cleaning and full bloodwork, which looked great, and he’s all ready for his forever home. If you’re looking for a devoted little companion to share your days with, Leo will repay you with unconditional love and loyalty. All he needs is a safe space, a kind heart, and someone to remind him he’s finally home Adoption is $150 which includes his dental, neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.All animals are up to date on age appropriate shots, microchipped and fixed. To meet one of our animals we require an approved application. You can fill one out at https://tobyscrittercoverescue.org/adoptionapp/ November 6, 2025, 5:22 pm
