Story
Buttercup and her sister, Bubbles were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd last year so they are now a year old. Buttercup has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs about 6 pounds and is full grown now. She is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Buttercup is a little shy at first, and she definitely tries to boss her sister around, but they really love each other! She and Buttercup are very bonded and we would very much like to get them a home together. They are so funny together! They play and run zoomies around the house. They would do well with older children and we have not had them around cats but we feel like they would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug along with her sister, their forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Sophie and Lizzie, two beautiful senior Shih Tzus who will instantly capture your heart. These inseparable sisters have spent most of their lives together and are now searching for a loving forever home as a bonded pair. At 10 and 12 years old, Sophie is a striking black-and-white girl weighing about 12 lbs, while Lizzie is a petite gray lady at just 8 lbs. Both are gentle souls with so much love to give.   Sophie and Lizzie came into rescue only because their previous owners faced overwhelming health challenges and could no longer provide the care these girls deserve.   Sophie is a classic independent Shih Tzu who enjoys having things her way. She loves being spoiled and is currently using all her charm to convince her foster mom that she deserves extra special treatment. Despite her independent streak, Sophie is very attached to her older sister, Lizzie, formerly known as Princess Lizzie, truly lives up to her royal title. One look into her soft, soulful eyes, and you can’t help but melt. While Lizzie isn’t as dependent on Sophie, both girls are closely bonded and always like to know where the other is.   Now on a regular schedule, both girls are housebroken and crate trained. They sleep soundly through the night and know exactly when it’s bedtime, rising around the same time each morning. They’ve easily adapted to their foster mom’s work routine and can be left loose in the house without any accidents.   Both girls are healthy for their age, though they do experience occasional Shih Tzu skin issues and ear infections. They thrive on a limited-ingredient dry and canned diet with no chicken, which has made a noticeable difference. However, they may require periodic medication to keep them comfortable.   Sophie and Lizzie are two affectionate little love bugs who would make a wonderful addition to the right home. They walk well on a leash, are comfortable around older children, and prefer a calm, quiet environment. Both girls ride nicely in the car and enjoy stroller outings. Regular grooming is essential, so please keep that in mind. To learn more about these lovely ladies, please email or text Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or 615-943-7311. An approved application and adoption are required.  April 5, 2026, 9:29 pm

Story
Meet Buzzette! Buzzette is a gentle senior girl who takes in the world at her own pace. With her limited eyesight, she can be a bit cautious at first, preferring to quietly observe and carefully sniff things out before fully settling in. With time and patience, you can see her begin to relax and grow more comfortable. Once she starts to feel comfortable, her body softens and her confidence slowly builds. She’s looking for a peaceful home with a patient adopter who will help guide her and respect her pace as she navigates the world. Buzzette is the kind of dog who forms a meaningful bond, and for the right person, that connection will be incredibly special. Our senior adoption fee is $200 (not including tax) which includes each animal fixed, up to date on core vaccines, microchipped, kept on monthly preventions, and dewormed. If you are interested in adopting any of our animals please fill out an application on our website lastchanceranch.org. 🏠Last Chance Ranch 📍9 Beck Road, Quakertown, PA ⭐️PA Kennel License #4518
