Story
Wicked: For Good fans, look no further! While the first four years of “Elphie” Elphaba’s life were Something Bad, she is looking forward to Defying Gravity with her forever family. It only took One Short Day to change this 4-year-old beauty’s life. Now, she is Dancing Through Life and thriving! She is sure to be Popular with her soulful brown eyes and cuddly, snuggly personality. She loves relaxing by her people and laying on the floor where the sun can hit her belly. Elphaba will ALWAYS be the first one to greet you at the door with tail wags and kisses! She has LOVED belly rubs from the moment she entered foster care! There is not a Wicked bone in her body; she’s Not That Girl. Elphie is great in her crate. Aside from being crate trained, she is also housebroken and has never had an accident. She enjoys her walks, does well on a leash, and was a quick learner! She is extremely smart and caught on quickly. Like most dogs, Elphaba does great with structure and a consistent routine. Some regression is normal in a new home, though. Elphaba gets along very well with other dogs, but she would also do well as an only dog. She has not been fostered in a home with children, but she is kind to children who want to pet her while on walks. Elphaba is up-to-date on vaccines, monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative, and is spayed and microchipped. Elphie says, “As Long As You’re Mine, everything will be Wonderful!” Are you ready to be changed For Good? Apply to adopt Elphaba today at www.zoeshouserescue.com!

Story
Meet Raya! Cute, quirky, and just a little goofy - Raya is a sweet 4 YO 13lb Shih-chon whose gentle personality slowly shines brighter as she feels safe. That said, if you’re looking for a cuddle bug who instantly wants to be your shadow and very best friend from day one, Raya is not that dog. Raya came from a commercial breeding situation and is still learning what it means to be a pet. She needs patience, consistency, and love - and in return, Raya will continue to make meaningful progress, just as she has in her foster home. During the workday, Raya tends to keep to herself and is content doing her own thing. In the evenings, she enjoys being on the couch with her foster family. She may need a little coaxing to get there, but once she’s settled, Raya is happy to relax, lay with you and be pet. Raya loves interacting with playful dogs and truly thrives around them. An ideal home would have another confident, friendly dog who can help build Raya’s confidence and show her the ropes of the good life. A canine companion is strongly preferred. Raya sleeps in a crate at night and does well with a predictable, structured routine. Housebreaking is still a work in progress, and Raya is continuing to gain confidence on leash. Because Raya has lingering fears from her past life, a secure, fenced-in yard is non-negotiable for her safety. Due to her sensitivity, Raya requires a home with no children under 12. With time, attention, love, and patience, Raya will continue her journey into becoming a well-loved family member. She’s not an instant love bug but she is deeply rewarding for the right home and deserves to be in an environment where she will thrive. Raya is up to date on vaccines, Spayed, Microchipped, Dental completed (bad teeth removed) Raya is sweet, endearing, and learning every day what it means to feel safe. If you believe in patience, kindness, and letting a dog move at her own pace, Raya may be the perfect fit for you. Please apply only on our website, zoeshouserescue.com.

Story
Meet Your New Pocket‑Sized Sidekick: Birdie Mae!! (Aka: Bird Dog, Bird, Birdie Girl) This little 10‑pound Shih Tzu may be tiny, but her personality is huge. She’s the perfect mix of calm companion and spirited sidekick—equally happy curled up in a blanket on the couch as she is trotting around the yard with the big dogs. She enjoys watching the neighborhood from her bird nest on the back of the couch! About Birdie: • Great personality — affectionate, social, and full of charm • Small but mighty — currently living with a large golden, a 90‑lb Rottie, and a 45‑lb mix, and she keeps up with all of them • Dog‑savvy kids only — best suited for respectful, experienced kids ages 8+ • Potty trained — uses a fenced yard reliably and also walks beautifully on leash, pottying on walks too. Regression is possible and expected when transitioning to a new environment. • Professional napper — loves to sleep anywhere…be it right next to you or burrowed into every blanket she can find. • Spayed and ready for her forever home 🩺 Special Care She does have allergies that require ongoing care and medical visits. • Daily medication • Special food • Medicated baths • Regular grooming to help keep her skin healthy and her hair neatly done. She’s doing wonderfully with her routine and will thrive with a family committed to maintaining her care plan. She’d love a home where she can be included, adored, and kept on track with her allergy care. And maybe even some friendly canine siblings to snuggle with!!!

Story
Bubbles and her sister and brother, Buttercup and Brodie 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 this year so they are 8 months old. Bubbles has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs just under 9 pounds and is probably full grown now. Bubbles 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. Although and three pups are extremely sweet, Bubbles is a most friendly and a super snuggler! She plays great with her brother and sister and we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them. She would do well with older children and we have not had her around cats but we feel like she would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.
