Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Bubbles, a little Shih Tzu puppy with a fluffy coat, a playful personality, and absolutely no understanding of personal space yet. Bubbles’ mom came to us as a stray in terrible condition — severely matted, neglected, and very pregnant. Shortly after arriving in rescue, she gave birth to four puppies. Sadly, one puppy didn’t survive, but Bubbles and the remaining siblings have grown into healthy, happy puppies now looking for forever homes. Born on February 28, 2026, Bubbles is curious, playful, and into all the normal puppy things like toys, exploring, and getting distracted every five seconds. Like any puppy, she’ll need basic training including housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, and learning manners as she grows up. Her future family also needs to be prepared for grooming. Shih Tzus require frequent brushing and regular grooming appointments to prevent painful matting, especially around the behind area. Puppy coats are often even more work while the adult coat comes in, so staying on top of grooming is really important for dogs like Bubbles. Bubbles is neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped—he’s all set for his next chapter. His adoption fee is $600. Apply to adopt Bubbles at: www.adoggie4you.org Bubbles is currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast. There is an additional $250 transport fee. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2026, 2:11 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there… I’m Butterscotch I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve been told I’m pretty much the definition of a good dog. I’m house trained, quiet, calm, and happiest when I’m curled up in a warm lap. I have a gentle, submissive nature and an easygoing personality—I just want to love and be loved. I came into rescue as a stray, very pregnant and needing help. Not long after, I welcomed three beautiful puppies into the world and devoted myself to being the best mama I could be. Now that they’re growing up and finding their own paths, it’s finally my turn to find a family to call my own. I’m a Shih Tzu with a soft heart and a sweet soul. I settle in easily, enjoy being around people, and love feeling like part of whatever you’re doing. Whether it’s a quiet evening at home or a little ride alongside you, I’m just happy to be near my person. I do need regular grooming to keep my coat healthy and tangle-free—but I promise I’ll sit sweetly for it. I’m spayed, fully vaccinated, current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto, and 4DX negative. I’m also microchipped. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will be your loyal little shadow, I’m right here waiting. Adoption fee: $500 Apply at: www.adoggie4you.org I’m currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Kentucky, and along the East Coast for an additional $225 transport fee (please note: transport is not available to Rhode Island or Massachusetts).Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2026, 2:11 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Benson, a Shih Tzu puppy with a cute face and the typical puppy belief that everything in life is either a toy or should be investigated immediately. His mom came to us as a stray in pretty rough shape — severely matted, neglected, and very pregnant. Not long after arriving in rescue, she gave birth to four puppies. Sadly, one puppy didn’t survive, but Benson and his siblings have grown into healthy, happy little pups ready to find homes of their own. Born on February 28, 2026, Benson is playful, curious, and full of puppy energy. He’ll need all the normal puppy training — housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, and learning basic manners. He’s still a baby, so patience and consistency will go a long way. It’s also important that his future family understands grooming needs. Shih Tzu coats mat very easily if not kept brushed out, especially around the behind area, and puppy coats can actually be harder to maintain while the adult coat comes in. Regular brushing and routine grooming appointments are not optional for a dog like Benson — they’re part of keeping him healthy and comfortable. Benson is neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped—he’s all set for his next chapter. He is currently too young for 4dx testing, but is current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $600. Apply to adopt at: www.adoggie4you.org Benson is currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast. There is an additional $250 transport fee. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2026, 2:11 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Dixie!  I’m a sweet, gentle girl who came to rescue with my little family after we were found along the highway. I spent my days raising my two puppies and making sure they were safe, and now that they’re growing up, it’s finally my turn to find a forever home of my own. The people here say I have a way of winning hearts the moment you meet me. I’m calm, quiet, and easy to love. I’m not much of a barker, and I get along wonderfully with all the other dogs I’ve met. I still have some things to learn about living inside a home, but I do seem to understand how to use a doggie door already. No one is quite sure yet how I do with kids or cats, but everyone agrees that I have a very gentle, loving demeanor. I’m already spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, 4DX negative, and current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto, so I’m all ready for my next adventure. My adoption fee is $500 please apply at www.adoggie4you.org. Due to my breed, I will need regular brushing and grooming.  Right now I’m in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. Unfortunately, I can’t travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts because of state regulations. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2026, 2:11 pm

Story

If something is happening nearby, she fully believes she should be involved. Buttercup’s mom came to us as a stray in rough condition — severely matted, neglected, and pregnant. Not long after coming into rescue, she gave birth to four puppies. Sadly, one puppy didn’t survive, but Buttercup and her siblings have grown into healthy, happy puppies ready to find families of their own. Born on February 28, 2026, Buttercup is your typical puppy. She loves toys, exploring, playing, and then crashing for a nap like she’s worked a full-time job.

Her future family also needs to understand grooming upkeep. Shih Tzu coats mat very easily if they aren’t brushed regularly, especially around the behind area, and puppy coats can actually be harder to maintain while their adult coat comes in.
