Meet Scooby!Gender: MaleWeight: 10 lbsAge: 10 (estimate)Breed: Shih Tzu MixEnergy level: Low-MediumMaster skill: Cuddly, sweet and well-balanced dog!Here are some things we learned about Scooby in his foster home:Scooby…- loves to snuggle (or sleep in his dog bed when you are busy)- loves car rides (back seat is his fav)- is house trained, he does best with a routine- loves toys- loves people and is an easy-going guy- does well with other dogs, but he could also be an only dogScooby will do well in many different types of homes. He is a very sweet boy whose age was estimated higher due to his poor oral health. But after his dental, the vet aged him down and we think he could easily be 8-10 yrs old.Interested in meeting Scooby?

Mustard is a sweet older gentleman who believes life is best enjoyed at a slower pace. This calm little guy is pretty much a professional couch potato—give him a comfy spot to curl up and he’s perfectly content! Mustard is visually impaired and needs daily eye drops for dry eye, but he gets around and enjoys life just fine. He does best with a calm routine and gentle handling, as fast movements can make him nervous. He is good with other dogs, especially when they respect his slower pace and personal space. Mustard is pee-pad trained and will also potty outside when taken out on a leash. He hasn’t quite learned how to let you know when he needs to go outside yet, so his new family will need to keep him on a consistent routine. Mustard isn’t looking for a busy, action-packed life. He’s looking for a soft couch, a peaceful home, and someone who will love and spoil him through his golden years. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Meet Cookie Monster 💙🍪 Cookie Monster was found rocking a very unique blue makeover, and while his colorful coat may fade with time, his spunky personality is definitely here to stay! https://youtu.be/bbgb8qDGFnA This young pup is a total social butterfly who believes every person he meets has the potential to become his new best friend. He happily makes his rounds for pets and isn’t afraid to hop right into your lap when he’s ready for some cuddles. When he’s not soaking up attention, Cookie Monster loves to play! He enjoys running, playing chase, and hanging out with canine friends of all sizes. He has wonderful social skills, shares toys nicely, and even patiently waits his turn for treats. Cookie Monster has also shown how sweet he can be with feline friends. During his cat introduction, he calmly said hello, explored the room, and later came back to give the kitty a little face lick! He’s already showing off some great puppy skills, including walking nicely on leash, responding well to guidance, and happily going into his kennel. With his outgoing nature, he could make an awesome adventure buddy for walks, dog-friendly patios, brewery trips, and plenty of outings with his future family. The blue may fade, but Cookie Monster’s charm is permanent. 💙 This goofy, affectionate little guy is ready to bring a whole lot of personality and love to his forever home. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6aa6ffd8c35306f2340b6824 Questions?

Meet Stevie Ray, the Well-Traveled Bluesman Looking for His Last Stop! There's a whole lot of heart packed into this little guy. Stevie is a 5-year-old shih tzu with the spirit of a pup and the devotion of an old soul: spunky, sweet, and utterly himself. He's also a bluesman who has seen some things. This little legend just wrapped up a cross-country tour, rolling out of a New Mexico shelter on a long bus ride that would make any road-weary musician grumpy. Give him a yard and watch the magic happen. Stevie turns it into his own little kingdom, nose to the ground, tail wagging, patrolling every inch like he's got very important business to attend to. Start a game of fetch and you'll fall in love with how much joy he can pack into his bouncy sprints. That said, he'd do just as well in an apartment, as long as he gets his outdoor time, whether that's a car ride, a backyard to patrol, or daily walks and trips to the park for sniffing and running. Stevie is good with other dogs, though according to his foster mom, he likes to call the shots. Every band needs a frontman, and he's happy to volunteer. His experience with children and cats is unknown, so we strongly recommend intentional, proper introductions and precautions if you have either at home. True to his shih tzu roots, Stevie carries himself with a confident, opinionated flair all a part of of his charm. Stevie appreciates a little time to get to know new people and does best when they let him come to them. He needs an experienced, patient adopter who will go slow, let him set the tempo, and respect his boundaries, especially around handling, new people, and high-stress situations. But earn his trust, and you'll find the softest heart this side of the Mississippi. With his foster mom, Stevie is pure velvet. He lets her dress him in his finest stage attire, picks up easily in her arms, follows her from room to room, and leans into every pet like it's the best thing that's ever happened to him. He wants to be wherever you are, and once he's yours, he's all yours. He does best with a family who's home often, so he never has to be far from the person he loves. After all those miles, this traveling troubadour is ready to hang up the tour bus keys. A calm home with a warm lap is his dream venue. Ready to make some sweet music together? https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a90793035935cc6ef0d278c If you have any questions about Stevie Ray, please email stephanie@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions nationwide using our rescue run USDA certified transport system, ensuring every pet travels safely and comfortably with 24/7 care.

A SPECIAL LITTLE GUY Figaro aka “Figgy” 4 years, neutered male, 16 lbs Shih Tzu mix LIKES: Figgy loves people, kids, cuddling, stroller rides, going places, sniffing around outside, car rides, and being included in whatever his people are doing. He absolutely LOVES his stroller and gets very excited when he sees it! He enjoys meeting new people and is a social little guy who is happiest when he gets to be part of the action. He especially loves lounging in the grass, soaking up the sunshine, and getting all the pets. DISLIKES: Figgy can be protective of high-value resources and occasionally wants to be left alone when he is tired or settling down for the night. He does best when people and dogs respect his space around things he considers especially valuable. PERSONALITY TRAITS: Figgy is a mellow, affectionate little guy with a surprisingly big zest for life. He has a history of significant orthopedic trauma, including spinal and pelvic fractures, which are now healed but have left him with some permanent mobility and neurologic deficits. None of that has stopped him from enjoying life! He loves his people and is happiest cuddled up in a lap or tagging along on an adventure. He genuinely enjoys getting out and experiencing the world, and he has a particularly joyful personality when he’s in his stroller. He seems to love seeing what his people are up to. He currently lives with four other dogs and generally coexists very well with them, though he would likely be happiest in a home with a calm, compatible dog or as the only dog, where he can soak up all the attention. He is a social, easygoing little guy who loves being part of family life. POTTY TRAINING STATUS: Due to neurologic deficits from his previous injuries, Figgy is fully incontinent for his bladder and bowels. He does not have control over when he urinates or passes stool. His care is very manageable with routine and consistency. He wears a belly band for urine when appropriate, and his foster home has established a predictable bathroom routine. A short walk after meals will often prompt him to pass his formed stool outside, although occasional accidents in the house do happen. X-PEN / CRATE TRAINING STATUS: Figgy is crate trained and generally settles easily without a fuss. He actually loves sleeping in his crate at night. When someone is home and able to keep an eye on him, Figgy has free range of the house. For his safety, he uses an x-pen when the house is especially busy or there is a lot of commotion, and when he is home alone. He is comfortable and content in his x-pen and does well with this routine. EXTRAS/MISC: Figgy can walk and enjoys short walks, but he tires more easily than a typical dog and uses a stroller for longer outings. And honestly, he thinks the stroller is pretty fantastic. He takes a daily anti-inflammatory medication. His veterinary evaluation found no significant pain beyond what would be expected from his previous injuries, and any discomfort appears to be well controlled with his daily medication. His veterinarian believes he can have many happy years ahead with appropriate care. His adoption fee is fully sponsored. To further inquire about FIGARO, submit an application - https://www.wigglytails.org/adoption-application Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how FIGARO will mesh with your lifestyle, especially if you have experience caring for special needs dogs. Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our his foster to answer questions and set up a meet and greet. Submitting an application does not guarantee a call or response from our rescue. Our volunteers will screen the applications and reach out if it is determined to be a good fit. *Fostered in Eugene/Springfield, OR ADOPTION APP: https://www.wigglytails.org/adoption-application ##2816564##

Meet Gizmo A Sweet Little Shih Tzu Mix Ready to Find His Forever Family Breed: Shih Tzu Mix Gender: Male | Age: 09/18/2024 Weight: 11lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: ❤️ Sweet | Affectionate | Friendly | Companion-Sized Medical: ✔️ Neutered | ✔️ Vaccinations Up to Date Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Ozzie and Friends Rescue coordinates safe transportation for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Gizmo is an adorable 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing approximately 11 pounds. He's a young, little companion ready for the opportunity to become a loved member of a forever family. Gizmo is good with other dogs and children, while his compatibility with cats is currently unknown. At two years old, Gizmo is at a wonderful stage of life. He's past the tiny puppy phase but still a young adult with many years of companionship ahead of him. He can enjoy walks, outings, playtime, and exploring with his family while also settling into the everyday routines of home life. As a Shih Tzu mix, Gizmo may share some of the characteristics associated with the breed. Shih Tzus are often affectionate, friendly, playful, social, and strongly oriented toward their human companions. They were developed primarily as companion dogs, and many enjoy simply being close to their people. Depending on the coat Gizmo has inherited, he may require regular brushing, bathing, and professional grooming to prevent tangles and matting and keep his skin and coat healthy. Gizmo would benefit from: Daily walks and appropriate exercise Playtime and mental enrichment Positive-reinforcement training Consistent household routines Continued positive socialization Regular grooming Plenty of companionship and affection His smaller size may make him convenient to bring along, but Gizmo still deserves opportunities to walk, explore, play, learn, and experience life as a dog. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Even though Gizmo is already an adult, entering a new home means learning a completely new routine and set of expectations. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so his adopter should be prepared to continue working on house training as needed, leash manners, basic commands, recall, household boundaries, and calm greetings. Positive-reinforcement training can help Gizmo learn what is expected while also building trust and strengthening his relationship with his new family. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand his new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home These are guidelines rather than deadlines. Gizmo should be given the patience and consistency he needs to adjust at his own pace. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Gizmo is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. His future family should continue providing routine veterinary wellness examinations, recommended vaccine boosters, flea/tick/heartworm and parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, grooming and nail care, regular exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever necessary. Dental care is particularly important for smaller dogs, and Gizmo's teeth and gums should be routinely monitored. Depending on his individual coat, regular professional grooming may also be an ongoing part of his care. If Gizmo has inherited the shorter facial structure sometimes seen in Shih Tzus, his family should also be mindful of heat and strenuous exercise, particularly during warm weather. Adoption Information If you are interested in adopting Gizmo, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions Ozzie and Friends Rescue is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing dogs in need and helping them find safe, loving forever homes. We expand our adoption efforts throughout the Western United States, Midwest, and Canada, and safe transportation can be coordinated for approved adopters. Adoption and transportation fees vary depending on the individual dog and destination. Our goal is to give every dog the best possible chance of finding the right family, no matter where that family may live. Adopting Gizmo means committing to his veterinary care, training, grooming, safety, companionship, and happiness throughout his life. Gizmo is only two years old, with so many years of companionship still ahead of him. At just 13 pounds, he may be a little guy, but he's ready for a very big role—becoming someone's beloved companion. All Gizmo needs now is the family who will give him a place beside them and make sure that place is his forever.October 7, 2026, 10:25 am
