Story
Hi! My name is Presley and I'm a 1 y/o, female Shih Zu weighing in at almost 6 pounds. I was released from a commercial breeder and I am so happy to be learning how to live this new, wonderful life as a pet! Living in my foster home is really nice but now I'm on a mission to find my forever home. A little bit about me: I tend to be really shy around new people and in new situations so I'm looking for a family that will be patient with me at first while I get used to them and my new surroundings. Once I start to feel at home, watch out cause that's when my happy, fun loving personality really shines though! My foster mom says I'm the happiest pup she's ever had and my tail just never stops wagging. I'm especially happy when I'm around other dogs. I LOVE playing and snuggling with the resident pups in my foster home and I really hope my forever home has a pup or pups that will enjoy me as much as I enjoy them. I get along with all humans too but my ideal home would be one with no children or older, dog savvy kids that will be mindful of my tiny size. It would be awesome if my forever home had a fenced in yard for me to run around in but thats not a deal breaker for me because my foster mom has taught me how to go out to potty in the yard on a leash too. I'm fully potty trained by the way, but keep in mind that regression is normal in new environments until my routine is established. I am spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and treated with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative. I'm being fostered in Blandon, PA. If you're interested in adopting me, your family and your resident dogs must be willing to travel to my foster home to meet me. Are you ready to be part of my forever? If so, please apply online at zoeshouserescue.com Zoes House, Inc Kennel license # 9117 Po box 2372 Reading pa 19608

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bino is a 1 year old, 12 pound Shichon looking for his happily ever after! He is a happy, healthy guy who loves his people after a few minutes settling into his new home. He also loves playing with other dogs, but prefers female dogs, or males that aren't dominate in personality. Bino is leash trained, but loves to run so he would like a fenced yard. He is crate trained and does need to eat his meals in a crate so he doesn't have to fear anyone will steal his food. He craves affectation and is learning he has to share the humans love in his foster home and is doing well with this. Bino just turned 1 and would benefit from training classes as well as continuing his socialization skills now that he is fully vetted. Bino does well in the car, does well with grooming, and is housetrained after the initial settle in period of a few days. All he needs is a committed family, guidance, and love to best the best boy ever! To adopt Bino, please complete an adoption application at peacelovepoms.rescuegroups.org. The $350 adoption donation ($250 for senior citizens 65+) includes core vaccines (Rabies, Parvo/Distemper, and Bordatella), Accuplex (Heart worm and Lyme test), fecal, microchip, bloodwork, neuter, and all the love you can handle!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 16, 2024, 10:51 am

Story
Romeo and Juliet were both street dogs, traveling everywhere together, looking for food and love. They were finally picked up by animal control in Georgia where they remained on a stray hold until they could be released. Animal control soon realized that Juliet was pregnant by Romeo so they called us to see if we could get them out of there before she gave birth. We had them immediately transported here to Tennessee and two weeks later she gave birth to 7 puppies. Sadly one was stillborn but the remaining 6 are all healthy happy babies who have all been adopted. Now it's Juliet's turn. She is crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and heart worm negative. Juliet is very high energy but extremely lovable. She is excellent with my 3 year old granddaughter and as you can see in the photo, fine with cats. Wouldn't you love to give her a loving and forever home! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION ADOPTION FEE $700

Story
Figgy aka Figs is a calm, laid back boy who is content with sitting in your lap, laying in bed with you, laying beside you...in other words, being your best friend! He prefers to have you in his sight at all times. Figs is on a strict diet of prescription food (he's a little too fluffy) and his snacks are green beans and English peas. His ideal home would include a fenced in yard where he can meander around the yard at his leisure. The only time he gets in a hurry is when it's mealtime. He loves to bark at squirrels, leaves falling off the trees, bugs, just anything that catches his attention. An apartment would not be ideal for him since he can be quite vocal If you would like to add Figgy to your family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and fill out an application.

Story
Meet the V dogs! These pups were rescued from horrible conditions and most of them had to be totally shaved. They are shy, but enjoy the company of other dogs and would do best with a fenced in yard. We believe they are some kind of poodle or shih tzus mixes.
