Story
Meet Whisky! Whisky is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu, weighing approximately 12 lbs, and he’s as sweet and lovable as they come. This little guy is all about living his best life, filled with toys, walks, and, most importantly, cuddles. Whisky has earned the title of “World’s Best Snuggler” with his adorable knack for curling into the cutest positions to be close to you. When his foster parents step out, Whisky is a perfect gentleman, peacefully napping on his dog bed until they return. He’s also a social butterfly, adoring the company of other dogs and happily playing with his furry friends. While Whisky may bark when meeting new people, once he warms up, he’ll be your loyal companion and best buddy. Whisky thrives on attention and would love a family who’ll spoil him with affection and let him share their bed at night. While he can be a little nervous in the car, he’s improving every day. On walks, he’s a pro—his playful antics will bring endless entertainment! Whisky would be happiest in a home with a yard where he can explore, play, and enjoy the fresh air. Whisky is house-trained, full of charm, and ready to bring joy and snuggles to his forever family.

Story
Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? If you're searching for a handsome little guy to steal your heart, look no further! Romeo is a neutered male Shih Tzu with a sweet disposition to match his charming name. Romeo has a few health needs that require special care. He has allergies, which are managed with daily medication and a vegetarian diet. Since starting this routine, his skin has greatly improved, and we've even been able to reduce the frequency of his medicated baths. Romeo also has dry eye and will need daily eye drops long-term to keep him comfortable. Recently, he underwent surgery to remove a mast cell tumor from his leg, and we are awaiting the results to determine if the surgery was fully successful. Romeo is looking for a dedicated and peaceful home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. Could that be with you?

Story
Meet Holly a sweet 7 year-old Shih Tzu who is learning how to be a dog for the very first time. Used as a breeding mama in a puppy mill, Holly’s life was confined and limited. Now, she’s on a journey to discover what love, trust, and freedom feel like. Holly is understandably nervous and unsure of the world, but she’s making huge strides every day. She’s looking for a calm and patient family who can offer her the time and space she needs to decompress and feel safe. While a home with another dog to show her the ropes would be ideal, it’s not a must. Holly is starting to play with toys and gives her foster mom a tail wag every time she sees her. Though still shy, Holly is very curious and a longing to connect, which shines through in her softer moments and her tail wags. Holly is ready to find her forever home where she can finally experience the love she’s always deserved. If you feel you could be a good match for Holly, please fill out an application for our review.  January 18, 2025, 7:45 am

Story
Ashe aka Ashley   Initially came to us from a GTA shelter when she was found as a stray.  She needed an immediate cystotomy for bladder stones.  Post surgery she's doing great and her foster mom update is below.  She will need to be on a special urinary diet for life so stones don't form again   5 year old spayed female Shih tzu She's very playful and loves to chew and shake her stuffies while cuddling on your lap or running around with them in her mouth. She sleeps through the night on the bed. She goes for a pee in the backyard as soon as we wake up and before going for a walk because sometimes she just can't wait.  She goes out into the backyard between walks to pee just in case. She's a good eater and is fed her specialty Urinary kibble with some canned food.  She walks well on leash and enjoys her walks. She does get overexcited, barks and pulls to see other people on the sidewalk so I try to give her and people more space to help calm her. Sometimes, it seems like she's warning them away but if they stop to say hi, she's so happy. She is also super excited to see other dogs and will become quite vocal and start pulling to approach them. When she says hello to other dogs she's fine, it's just her initial approach that could use some calming down and may not be appreciated by some dogs She can be vocal when she hears sounds and will bark when people come to the door but she's very friendly and greets anyone who comes to visit. She's great in the car and settles quickly. The groomers said she behaved excellently and she is fine with handling. She is respectful with her foster brother, and will take the hint when he won't play with her, although she tries her best to convince him she's a fun gal. She has to go out to pee more often than most dogs due to the urinary food, so would be best for someone who works from home or is retired  January 4, 2025, 9:48 am
