Story
Video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sfMj2cmL84E Mimi is the sweetest little thing. She is about 5 years old and hasn't had the best life so far but that hasn't made her bitter. She was a bit shy with me at first but never fearful or aggressive and now 2 weeks in she gives me kisses and wags her tail when I direct my attention at her. Her previous owner made her live outside and then dumped her at a small rural outside only shelter. She loves cuddling up in blankets. She doesn't have any health issues. She has some tartar on her teeth but that's to be expected at 5 years old. Small dogs live longer than big dogs so she likely still has a decade of love to give. She is good around large and small dogs and around cats. Currently in Oklahoma but can be adopted to approved out-of-state homes via transport. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Fully vetted (neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested). Adoption fee: $550 (includes the cost of the $250 transport and cost of all vetting). Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 Transport available to: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, NY, NJ (all pets are available in all location, regardless of the location of the adoption posting) Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95.

Yogi is pending adoption We have a transport leaving on March 25th 2026 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add our sweet pups to our trip for the right families 😊 Yogi, Bodhi & Kenji Shih Tzu Brothers | Born 11/19/2025 Every once in a while a group of puppies comes along that reminds you just how joyful and full of personality Shih Tzus truly are. Yogi, Bodhi, and Kenji are three wonderful little brothers who entered our care through a situation that was never intended but worked out exactly the way it needed to. Their previous family owned both parents and had already scheduled spay surgeries for their girls. Unfortunately, before those appointments could take place, both females went into heat and their male Shih Tzu managed to do his job before anyone realized what had happened. What followed was a surprise double litter. The family loved these puppies dearly and cared for them beautifully during their earliest weeks, but they also recognized that raising and placing six puppies responsibly was more than they were equipped to do. When the puppies were old enough to be weaned, they reached out to us so we could step in to continue their care, training, socialization, veterinary work, and eventually help find each of them the kind of forever home they deserve. The boys’ mother is a traditional Shih Tzu, and their father is also a traditional Shih Tzu. These three brothers may share the same start in life, but their personalities are wonderfully unique. Yogi – 7.49 lbs Yogi is the confident little explorer of the group. He approaches life with curiosity and excitement and is often the first one to check out something new. He’s playful, outgoing, and full of personality but equally enjoys being scooped up for snuggles. Yogi has a great balance of playful energy and affectionate companionship. Bodhi – 8.08 lbs Bodhi is the thoughtful sweetheart of the trio. He tends to observe the world for a moment before diving into the fun, but once he does, he’s right there with his brothers enjoying every minute. Bodhi has an incredibly gentle personality and a calm, loving presence that makes people fall for him quickly. Kenji – 6.47 lbs Kenji is the tiny charmer. He’s playful, social, and incredibly affectionate with everyone he meets. He has that classic Shih Tzu sweetness and seems happiest when he’s interacting with people. Kenji is full of love and personality and thrives on connection. All three boys are extremely social and enjoy meeting new people. They love playing together but are also content entertaining themselves with a favorite toy. They have already begun learning basic structure and are showing how intelligent and eager to learn they are. They currently know “stay” and are working on “sit,” especially when treats are involved. They sleep through the night and are pad trained. Like most puppies, a few of them have discovered that occasionally carrying the pad to their bed is more entertaining than using it, but a quick correction usually reminds them it belongs on the floor. They travel well and enjoy going along for rides around town. Because they have been held and loved since birth, they are extremely comfortable being handled and cuddled. Leash training will begin in their adoptive homes as we waited until all vaccines were completed before allowing them outside in shared dog areas. Health & Veterinary Care All puppies have received: • Four rounds of DA2PP vaccinations • First Bordetella vaccine • One-year Rabies vaccine • Microchips They have been thoroughly examined by our veterinarian and will go home with individual health certificates confirming healthy exams. A fecal test has also been submitted to the lab and the results came back with one type of parasite (worm) so the puppies are all currently being dewormed through our vet to clear that up. Spay & Neuter Contract Because of their young age, these puppies will be placed on spay and neuter contracts. While some rescues sterilize puppies very early, we believe in allowing their bodies the opportunity to grow and mature before undergoing those procedures whenever possible. Allowing dogs to reach full physical development can support healthier joint development, hormone balance, and overall growth. Adopters will agree to have their puppy spayed or neutered at an appropriate age recommended by their veterinarian. A portion of each puppy’s adoption fee has already gone toward ensuring the spay and neuter procedures for both parents were completed, so their previous family will never experience another accidental litter again. Adoption Fee Each puppy’s adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of their adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/yogi-bodhi-kenji This covers: • All veterinary care listed above including their deworming though our vet. • Six plus weeks of rescue care, training, and socialization • Microchipping and health certificates Life With These Boys Shih Tzus are known for their affectionate and companion-oriented personalities, and these boys truly embody that spirit. They will thrive in homes where they can be part of daily life — whether that means relaxing beside you while you read, riding along for errands, or playing with toys at your feet while you work. Their playful nature brings joy, but their loving hearts make them incredible companions. Each of these boys is ready to bring laughter, affection, and warmth into the life of the person meant for them. Don’t miss the chance to welcome one of these special little souls into your world.

We have a transport leaving the end of March 2026 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Allie to our trip for the right family 😊 Meet Allie 💗 Soft. Sweet. Quietly overflowing with love. Allie is the gentle heartbeat in a tiny 4.6-lb body. She looks just like a miniature Shih Tzu,... soft eyes, delicate features, and a calm presence that feels like home. She is beautifully tempered, just like her sister, but carries herself with a quieter sweetness. Meeting new people, she may be a little shy at first. But once her heart opens to you, the love waiting inside comes pouring out in the most beautiful way. She bonds deeply. She snuggles fully. She gives kisses like they are precious gifts. Allie loves playtime, loves to run around and be her happy self, and equally loves curling up close for snuggles. She is pad trained and crate trained, and happily sleeps in her crate or beside you if invited. Because of her tiny size, she is always accompanied outside for potty time. Leash training will be newer to her as well, but she will adjust beautifully with gentle guidance. She sheds lightly (even less than Penny), and with regular grooming her coat remains very manageable. She is wonderful at the groomer and enjoys being pampered. She is great with other dogs and cats alike and truly loves everyone, even if she takes a moment to warm up. Her previous owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her girls due to leaving for service training out of state and wanted them to know the same depth of love she always gave them. Allie deserves that continuation of devotion. She does not need to be adopted with her sister, though they complement each other beautifully if someone desires a pair. Allie is ready to become someone’s soft little shadow, lap baby, and devoted princess. Adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/allie-2 This covers her spay, vaccines, microchip and registration, dental cleaning and baby tooth extractions (retained baby teeth removed), full veterinary exam, grooming, and training while in our care. Birthday: 2/20/25

Story
Meet Benji Bear — estimated 1 year old, 15.5 pounds, part Shih Tzu, part Havanese, part… gremlin? Honestly, we’re still running the DNA test for “chaotic little man with main-character energy.” Benji is special — and he knows it. He likes what Benji likes… until he doesn’t. His moods shift faster than the wind and he makes no apologies. Looking for a cuddle bug? Yeah, that’s not Benji. Looking for a tiny coworker who will sit next to you, accept respectful head pats, and roll his eyes dramatically while you rant about Carol from accounting? That’s your guy. Benji loads up in the car all by himself and rides like a champ, is great on leash, and absolutely loves to strut his stuff on walks — tiny body, big confidence. We’re pretty sure that once Benji realizes he’s safe and doesn’t have to act like a tough dude, his softer side might peek out. Probably. Maybe. No promises. Benji’s ideal home? -Adults only, or teens who can respect his “don’t kill my vibe” vibe -A family stocked with patience and cheese -A single-dog home, where Benji gets to be the main character, the supporting cast, and the entire emotional storyline — because his feelings (like a teenager’s) are big, dramatic, and subject to change without notice -Benji is cool with cats, not surprising really given how cats can be -Seems to prefer men If you’re ready for a quirky, hilarious, independent little fellow who marches to the beat of his own tiny drum, Benji Bear is taking applications. Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/690913d68e9aa22a2d0a57c5 If you have any questions or interested in Benji, email his coordinator at Kathleen@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!   You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!    The adoption fee is $1,600 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!    We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.    Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:   Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!   Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!   Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.   https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https:// www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue   Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life? APPLY TODAY and become a hero for pets in need!   *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $87 surcharge for transport.   DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.   Texas local adoption! All adoptions within Texas must be picked up from Friendswood, Tx.

Story
Oreo is 4 years old and weighs about 14lbs. He is so playful and loves his human immensely. He likes to hug with his arms! It is so cute. He crates well and rides well in the car. He is housetrained with a doggy door. Oreo is just a dear little guy who wants a quiet home, not too busy. No kiddos for Oreo. He gets scared too easily and little children would make him scared. He would love to be your little lap dog. Oreo has resource guarding issues so only an experienced pet owner or a home as an only pet would be appropriate. Oreo needs a home with a fully fenced yard and someone active enough to play with him and keep him exercised. Please email stmartinsanimalrescue@hotmail.com for an application.
