Socrates is a great little dog. He is fun and funny. He turns four on November 16. He loves to play with his favorite stuffed animal, a chicken that’s bigger than him. He’s sweet, really sweet.

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🌌🐾 Ewok: The Cutest Little Thing in the Galaxy! 🐾🌌 “Yub nub!” (That's Ewok for “Please adopt me!” 😉) Calling all Star Wars fans! A very special creature has arrived from a galaxy far, far away… okay, fine, she's from Texas, but with a face like that, we're pretty sure she's intergalactic royalty! Meet Ewok, a 1-year-old, 12-pound Shih Tzu with the fluffiest little face this side of Endor! With her black-and-white coat, soulful eyes, and adorable teddy bear appearance, she's basically a real-life Ewok. The only thing missing is her own tiny hood and a spot on the Millennium Falcon! 🚀 Ewok can be a little shy when meeting new people, but don't worry—she doesn't need a Jedi mind trick to come around! Give her a little patience, kindness, and a few minutes to assess the situation, and she'll soon be ready to join your fan club. Once you're officially part of her inner circle, prepare for maximum snuggle mode. This little girl is a professional cuddlebug who believes the best place in the universe is right next to her favorite human. Forget saving the galaxy—she'd rather save you a spot on the couch! She's also good with other dogs, so she's open to having a furry copilot for her adventures. Ewok is looking for a loving family who will help her feel safe, give her time to warm up, and remind her every day that she's loved. In return, she'll offer endless cuteness, loyal companionship, and enough snuggles to power the Death Star. ❤️ The Force is strong with this one… especially when treats and cuddles are involved! Ready to welcome your very own little Ewok into your family? Don't let this tiny Wookiee fly off to another galaxy without you! 🐾 Apply to adopt Ewok at haydudeequine.org!

Meet Snoopy & Ollie — Two Sweet Senior Shih Tzus Looking for Their Forever Home Together! 🐾 Location: Fort Thomas, Kentucky (Greater Cincinnati area) Breed: Shih Tzu Ages: Snoopy, 13 | Ollie, 12 Adoption: Bonded pair — must be adopted together Ideal home: Quiet, adult-only household Meet Snoopy and Ollie, two adorable senior Shih Tzus looking for a loving forever home where they can enjoy their golden years together!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet London! London is a fun, hyper, loving, and playful Shih Tzu who is looking for a fresh start and a family to call her own. After her owner sadly ended up in the hospital, London and her four siblings found themselves loose on a large property. It took a dedicated two-day trapping session by our team to bring them all safely into our rescue. She arrived heavily matted and flea-infested, but she has been cleaned up, vetted, and is now ready to let her true personality shine! London is a total blast and has that classic, big Shih Tzu personality. She is a bundle of joy who loves to play, though she does give affectionate play bites when she gets excited, so a home with older children who understand puppy-like play would be best. She is also quite a vocal girl and will let you know when she has something to say! London is still working on her potty training and will need a patient family willing to help her learn the ropes. As a Shih Tzu, she will also require consistent brushing and regular professional grooming to keep her coat looking and feeling its best. Health & Medical Status: Spayed Microchipped & fully vaccinated Heartworm/Tick-borne disease negative (4DX Negative) Current on ProHeart 12 (heartworm prevention) and Bravecto (flea/tick prevention) Adoption Details: Adoption Fee: $450 Location: Currently in Texas Out-of-State Transport: Can be transported for an additional $250 fee to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (Kentucky), and various locations along the East Coast. (Please note: Due to strict state regulations, we cannot transport dogs to Rhode Island or Massachusetts). Ready to bring this fun-loving girl home? Apply today at www.adoggie4you.org!
