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.

Story
Rosie (formerly Star) is Sponsored by Mary MartinMeet Rosie!Rosie is a darling little Shih Tzu mix with a big personality packed into a tiny, fluffy body. True to her Shih Tzu roots, she adores being close to her people, thrives on companionship, and will happily follow you from room to room like your very own pint-sized shadow.Rosie is a sweet little girl who loves gentle affection, cozy beds, and being told how beautiful she is (which is often!). She bonds closely with her humans and will reward you with loyalty, snuggles, and those irresistible soulful eyes — plus the most adorable little underbite that gives her face extra character and charm. It’s impossible not to smile when she does. Rosie was recently returned to the shelter because she became fearful of unfamiliar people visiting her home. When frightened, she may nip in an effort to make scary situations go away. Because of this, Rosie is looking for a calm, predictable home with people who understand that building trust takes time and that not every dog wants to greet strangers.Now, let’s talk about her “spicy” side 🌶️ — because every Rosie shines a little differently! While she is loving and devoted to her people, she is not comfortable being physically handled or picked up by strangers. Rosie does not appreciate new people manipulating her body, especially at the vet, and she can be quite dramatic about it (think: full opera performance). For her comfort and safety, she will likely require medication or sedation for veterinary visits and possibly grooming appointments.Because of this, Rosie would do best with:• An experienced dog owner• A calm, predictable home• A home with minimal visitors or one where visitors can respect her space• No young children who may try to pick her up or handle her roughly• A veterinarian willing to work patiently and compassionately with her needsOutside of those situations, Rosie is a typical Shih Tzu — alert, charming, and happiest when she’s near her person. She isn’t looking for chaos or a busy social calendar; she’s looking for her safe place and her safe people.If you understand that even the brightest stars need a little patience and respect, Rosie — and her precious underbite smile — just might be your perfect match.Due to COVID-19, we are currently only open by appointment. Please follow the instructions on each pet profile.

Story
Princess & Precious are an adorable pair of mother/daughter tiny Shih Tzu mixes. Precious the Mom is 10 and scruffy, and Princess the daughter is 9 and smooth-coated. They both have brown heart-shaped patches of fur on their sides. Both are quite friendly, snuggly and cuddly, and make excellent alarm clocks/burglar alarms. Both love to eat anything you give them. Both are friendly to other dogs, and people of all ages. No idea about their opinion of cats. They both sleep on my bed, either under the covers or wrapped up in a blanket on top. Both are potty trained. They came from an older person home that was moving to an assisted living facility and not able to take the dogs. Vet care was sadly lacking at their former home, and both dogs had to have several teeth removed. Princess (the smooth-coated daughter) has a dry left eye and will need drops for that for life. These are delightful cuties who want nothing more than to love and be loved forevermore. And of course well-fed. They are fully vetted, microchipped, spayed and dental done. Their adoption fee is $420 total for both dogs. To meet this little girls please go to our website - OFOSA.ORG and fill out the Dog Adoption Application and the foster mom will get back to you to meet them.
