Story

✨ Meet Sassafras – Tiny, Saucy, and Absolutely Certain She Runs This Household ✨Age: 7 yearsBreed: Shih TzuSpecial Skills: Toy hoarding, feline diplomacy, selective listening, supervising humansIf you’ve dreamed of a low-energy companion with the spirit of a retired librarian and the comedic timing of a seasoned sitcom character, Sassafras is ready to step into that role. She’s survived a rough past, polished her crown, and now reigns proudly from the couch.🌼 The Good (And There’s Even More of It Now!)Sassafras is basically a houseplant with opinions and better hair. One short daily walk and she’s content. She strolls politely on leash, tolerates spa-day foot fussing, and submits to wardrobe changes with the quiet resignation of a dog who has accepted she is, in fact, a fashion icon.Her biggest brag? She is good with cats. She’s gentle, respectful, and blissfully drama-free around feline friends. She would happily be the tiny dog in a cat household.She’s also doing much better with her house training and no longer requires constant diapers. Gold-star effort, Sassafras. ⭐She enjoys dogs in small, polite doses but would prefer they keep the noise level down. (She considers herself the HOA president of “Indoor Voices.”)She finds toys, hoards toys, plays with toys—basically entertains herself like a tiny gremlin living her best life.🌥 The Quirky (Aka: Her Charm)Sassafras is very smart.But she uses her intelligence like Wi-Fi in a basement—sparingly and only when it suits her.She still occasionally “mothers” dogs who, in her opinion, are behaving incorrectly. It’s funny. It’s bossy. It’s very on-brand for her.🌦️ The Challenges (Or: Sassafras Features 2.0)Great news: Her separation anxiety has improved significantly. She still prefers her people close by, but she no longer reenacts The Shining at closed doors and is learning to be calm when left alone for reasonable periods.Her house training has also made real progress. She may still need a diaper at night or during longer stretches without supervision, but the constant potty chaos is behind her.She does drink and pee more than your average dog—likely a quirk of her system rather than a medical issue—but she’s manageable, predictable, and much tidier than before.💛 Who Should Adopt Sassafras?Someone who wants:A quiet, low-energy, hilarious companionA dog who is 100% cat-friendlyA tiny sweetheart wrapped in a layer of stubbornnessA home supervisor with strong opinions about your timing, tone, and snack distributionShe would thrive in a calm home—with cats, with polite dogs, or as the lone queen bee.🌸 Ready to Adopt a Spicy, Improved, Cat-Approved Companion?Sassafras is not perfect—but she is sweet, silly, loyal, and absolutely unforgettable.If you want a dog who will make you laugh daily, warm your feet, and expertly judge your snack choices… she’s your girl.Apply for Sassafras at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt.Her adoption fee is $285. She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨🐾 Meet Little Bit — Proof That the Best Things Come in Tiny, Fluffy Packages 🐾✨ (4 Years Old • Shih Tzu • 9 lbs • Male • Professional Shadow) If you’ve ever thought, “I’d really like a dog who quietly follows me around like a very cute cloud,” then Little Bit is about to be your dream come true. At just 9 pounds and 4 years old, Little Bit is sweet, gentle, and delightfully low-key. He’s the kind of pup who prefers soft beds, kind humans, and being exactly wherever you are — no chaos, no drama, no unnecessary barking commentary. Despite being surrendered for being “too energetic” (allegedly 🙃), Little Bit has shown us nothing but calm, quiet manners. Here, he’s more low to very medium energy — playful when invited, content to lounge when not, and always happy just to be included. His only “crime” was lightly chasing porch cats, which he would like the court to note was non-threatening...just a little, I wanta say 'hello'. 🐶 Little Bit’s Best Features: • Very sweet & submissive — gentle soul alert • Great with other dogs and respectful of everyone’s space • Not much of a barker — strong “peace and quiet” energy • Playful but not demanding — he reads the room like a pro • Small, delicate, and affectionate (handle with love & cuddles) Because he’s petite and submissive, Little Bit would do best in a home without small children — not because he’s grumpy, but because he’s more “porcelain teacup” than “rough-and-tumble toy.” He’d be perfect for someone looking for a loyal companion, a quiet buddy, or a furry little shadow who wants to be part of your daily routine. If you’re looking for a dog who will follow you from room to room, sit politely nearby, and occasionally remind you how adorable life can be… 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — Little Bit is ready to be your tiny bestest furry friend. 🐾💖

Oreo Pie KV

Shih Tzu Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 6 yrs 7 mos

Cincinnati, OH

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Oreo Pie got his name because he’s truly sweet as pie. Before being rescued, this little guy was abandoned in a backyard, tied to a tree, and survived thanks to kind neighbors who fed him for a month. When his foster mama saved him, he was severely matted and had to be shaved down to the skin. Since then, he’s learned what it feels like to be safe, loved, and comfortable—and now he happily snores the day away in his doggie bed. Oreo Pie hasn’t met a person he doesn’t adore and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He’s potty trained, crate trained, and an easy-going, laid-back little man who LOVES food. If he’s hungry (or thinks you’re moving too slow), he’ll let you know—and may even bring you his food bowl as a reminder! Oreo Pie will require regular, lifelong grooming to keep him comfortable and mat-free, but he’s absolutely worth it. This sweet boy is ready for a forever family to spoil him the way he deserves. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area)

Story

Blade & Dexter are bonded shihtzu brothers that came to SAAP as owner surrenders. Their dad was being deployed. There wasn’t any available housing pet friendly. Blade had a “benign mass that seems completely removed. You will want to have it monitored for reoccurrence or any growth as "emerging low-grade malignant (cancerous) mesenchymal neoplasm can not be excluded" so basically- all removed but close monitoring is recommended especially if it comes back.”- from our vet. Blade weighs 12 lbs and we are working on losing a few. lol! Aren’t we all?! :-) He and his brother are both potty trained. They get along with dogs in their foster home & stick close to each other. Sweetest, softest little guys you’ll ever cuddle!December 7, 2025, 8:40 pm
