Story
Mari is a 12 pound, 13 year old Shih tzu. .  She is extremely chill and easygoing.  Mari is ready to settle into a quiet, cozy home where she can relax and enjoy the simple things in life. Whether it’s lounging on the couch or joining you for a peaceful short stroll, she is happiest when life moves at a relaxed pace.  This sweet girl is adaptable and can live peacefully with other calm dogs or be perfectly content as your one and only.  Whether it’s with a calm family or a single adult, Mari will bring wagging tails, happy smiles, and endless love to your home. Mari will bark when left on her own so she will not do well in an apartment or condo.  She has a great appetite and is mostly housetrained but will use a pee pad and might have the odd accident if you don’t pick up on her cue that she wants out.  If you think Mari is the one for you, please submit an application first our review. May 25, 2025, 7:43 am

Story
Senior bonded Shih Tzu cross pair, Arlo and Kimbo, are looking for their forever home to live out their golden years. They were surrendered by their owner who could no longer care for them. They are 10 and 11 years old, neutered males, friendly with visitors, dogs, and cats. This loving duo would enjoy nothing more than snuggling up with you and yours on the couch and going on a short walk or two daily. They love walks, car rides, getting belly rubs, and all the pets. They can be vocal at times so a home without shared walls would likely be the best fit for them. Kimbo is a little on the fluffy side and is on a weight management diet. Arlo has been diagnosed with bladder stones and is receiving treatment. We suspect that they did not have a regular housetraining/walk routine in their prior home and they are brushing up on their housetraining. They can go through the night without having accidents now with pee accidents in the daytime decreasing the longer they are in our foster care. Is this the dynamic duo you've been waiting for? Name: Kimbo (darker colours) and Arlo (lighter colours) Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight:  Kimbo approx 25 pounds and Arlo approx 13 pounds Gender: both male Spayed/neutered: both neutered Age: Kimbo 10 years and Arlo 11 years Good with dogs: Yes.  They have lived together for 10 years.  They are currently also living with a 1.5 year old Potcake and are good with her too.  Arlo is playful with other dogs at the dog park and Kimbo is more laid back. Good with cats: Yes.  They are currently living with a cat. Good with kids: They have not lived with kids.  They have been fine meeting the neighbour's 8 and 10 year old kids and meeting kids at the dog park. Good with strangers: Yes.  They have had a number of visitors this past 2 weeks.  They will bark when they come to the door and then run up and greet them and be friendly. Resource guarding issues: They are not guarding items from people/dogs/cats in their foster home. Ever bitten a human: No Ever bitten a dog: No Fears:  They howl and bark when they hear sirens. Housetrained: They do not think they had a regular routine in their last home.  Initially they were having pee accidents multiple times/day.  They are now able to go 8 hours overnight with no accidents and are going pee/poop in the yard and on walks.  They are having fewer accidents. Crate trained: No Good in the car: Yes Bark when left alone: They howl/bark when they hear sirens.  They are leaving them alone 2-4 hours at a time right now. Destructive: No Energy Level: Low Leash skills: They walk well on leash and appropriately meet other dogs on walks.  Kimbo is a bit overweight and has lower exercise tolerance than Arlo. Okay with physical handling/manipulations: They enjoy being brushed.  They were professionally groomed and did not need to be muzzled and were good for the groom. Medical issues: Kimbo is overweight and on a weight management diet.  Arlo has been diagnosed with bladder stones and is receiving treatment for the condition.   June 19, 2025, 1:33 pm

Story
Nicole is a tail wagging, good natured, 3 year old, 8 lb, Shih Tzu/Maltese little lady with an affectionate, sweet, stable personality. She likes to snuggle & just hang out with you. She is friendly with adults, respectful 12+ aged kids, dogs, & cats. She loves to play & romp enthusiastically in the backyard with other small dogs. She is obedient & follows commands. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, de-wormed, de-flead, & her full set of teeth are pristine! Nicole would love to become a treasured member of a family who will include her in their activities. She lost her previous loving family through no fault of her own. An adult home with a fenced backyard & another small pooch to play would suit her. She is allergic to poultry & fish, & requires a diet including beef, lamb, kangaroo, or other meat. If interested please email: sgaskell63@gmail.com for an application. Adoption fee: $800.

Story
YODA is currently being fostered in TEXAS. ***Please note that we would prefer to have YODA and SPARKLES adopted together*** Yoda is apx 8 -9 years old and 12 pounds, a shitzu/chihuahua mix. She was an owner surrender with her “sister” Sparkles. We are hoping they can be adopted together but we do want what is best for them and to find the girls an amazing home. Yoda gets a dental on the 23rd. She is a tripod. Yoda does have some cataracts starting in her eyes, some cloudiness and her teeth are awful so she will most likely lose quite a few toofers. Yoda is a bit more nervous than her sister Sparkles. She is good with cats and dogs but no small children please. Yoda is more shy and needs some time to warm up. She is not an aggressive dog just a bit scared and nervous. This is A LOT of change for her. Yoda is a sweet gentle older girl and she needs her forever home to be a place to rest her head, feel love and security.

Story
Bentley is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. At 15 years young, he was surrendered due to medical needs, but despite his challenges, he remains a joyful and resilient companion. Bentley has a heart murmur, but after a visit to a cardiologist, he was diagnosed with degenerative valvular disease, which requires no treatment — a relief for Bentley and his future family! In addition to his heart, Bentley’s eyes are in need of some care. He is blind in both eyes and struggles with dry eye and cherry eye, but he’s not letting that slow him down. He recently saw an ophthalmologist, and with the right medication, he’s living life to the fullest. Bentley is incredibly patient when it comes to his daily eye treatments, and his future family will need to be comfortable administering them. Bentley is on the lookout for a warm, loving home where he can enjoy slow, peaceful walks and snuggle up in a cozy bed. If you're ready to offer Bentley the care and love he deserves, he’s ready to bring endless affection into your life.
