Story
Sweet Seniors - who have been through the mill - they make wonderful friends and Beebop is no exception.This guy landed at the Memphis Animal Shelter so overgrown and matted he could hardly walk, never mind do anything else. Fast forward after getting cleaned up and some loving care from his foster mom, he's ready to strike out on his own with a new family. From his foster mom:Bebop found himself in a high kill shelter, clearly neglected and lost. After a grooming session, some good groceries, and a dental, this happy little guy is as happy as he can be.Bebop is house trained and loves to hang out in his open crate. When he wants to out, he will go to the door or whimper if the crate is closed.Bebop’s eyesight is not as good as it once was (whose is?), so he will take a minute to map his space, but he is intrepid in getting it done. If he is anxious, such as in a new large area, he will circle a little bit, until he figures it out.Bebop needs a quiet spot to be spoiled and loved. He will give more in return than you can imagine.Name: BeebopBreed: Shih Tzu ?

Story
Lucky was rescued from cruel owners October of 2020 after he was left outside for weeks. He has had trust issues ever since, yet always curious of people, pets, and different things around him. I’ve realized he struggles more with males and connects closer to females. Over time he does grow close and trust the males in the household. He loves to play and run around especially with children who have as much energy as him, as long as children are not antagonizing him or causing him any harm. He will bark and stand his guard to defend himself. The same for dogs. He bonds more with older dogs and gets very happy around females. Lucky has a very strong personality and he is very smart and knows when he does right from wrong but will test you here and there. Lucky is house and crate trained but my current problem is not being home as often to let him out as soon as he needs to go. He does sit/scratch the door if he needs to go outside. He loves the outdoors and chicken as well.

Story
A more perfect dog may not exist. Thorin is simply put - well, perfect. He is quiet, lovable, playful, loyal, house trained, good with other dogs and though not kid tested, would likely be great with respectful ones.Thorin loves rides in the car, taking walks where he can display his lovely leash manners, and just being together with his favorite people. And can we talk about that adorable face? Cuteness overload! So if your life needs a little perfect, then Thorin is meant for you! Thorin is a 4 year old Shih-Tzu. He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, house trained, and heartworm negative. Thorin is fostered in Smithfield, VA.
