Story
Lizzy is a 1-year-old, 13 lb, female Shih tzu 🐾 Lizzy is a beautiful girl with the most unique coloring—reminiscent of a calico cat, making her truly one-of-a-kind both outside & inside. This sweet girl loves the simple joys in life, especially running & playing in a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and feel safe. Lizzy finds comfort in other dogs and will need a confident canine companion in her forever home to help guide her and show her the ropes. Lizzy is still learning to trust humans, and she’ll need a patient & understanding family willing to give her the time and space she needs to come out of her shell. She may not show her love right away—but when she does it will be incredibly special and deeply earned. She sleeps in her crate, and is making great progress with potty training. Leash training will need to be done with gentle care. Lizzy does have a grade 5/6 heart murmur, and her future family will need to be prepared to support her medical needs. This may include veterinary care, medication, or a specialized diet to help her live as comfortably and happily as possible. While per prognosis is uncertain, Lizzy deserves a home filled with compassion, commitment, and love. In return, Lizzy promises to give you her whole heart if you are willing to be patient enough to receive it. If you have a gentle touch, a loving dog to guide her, and the willingness to give Lizzy the care she deserves, she just might be your perfect match 💕 Lizzy is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $450.00.

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, he’ll need basic training including housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, and learning manners as he grows up. His 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.June 8, 2026, 10:42 am

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.June 8, 2026, 10:42 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hey, I’m Danielle! I’m a Havanese/Poodle mix born around 3/11/2026, and I’m officially looking for my own people. A nice couple found me and my little family near a busy highway after we’d clearly been struggling for a while. We were covered in fleas and ticks, skinny, hungry, and sadly one of my siblings didn’t make it. Luckily, rescue stepped in and now things are looking a whole lot better for me. These days I’m doing what puppies do best — playing with toys, zooming around, and acting like everything is exciting because honestly… it is. I’ll need basic puppy training and regular grooming to keep my fluffy coat looking good, but I promise I’m worth it. I’m fixed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. My adoption fee is $500. To apply, visit www.adoggie4you.org I'm in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and locations along the East Coast. If transport is needed, an additional fee of $225 will apply. Please note that we are unable to transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 8, 2026, 10:42 am
