Story
My name is Banff and I am a Shih Tzu/Blue Heeler mix boy. That was determined with DNA. My mom is a Shih Tzu and my dad a Blue Heeler. I am active, smart, friendly and happy! I am good with other dogs and people. My foster mom does not know about cats though! I do need another young dog to play with. I would not be good with an older dog as I play a lot and would pester them. I am current on shots, neutered, microchipped and working on potty training. My adoption fee is $550. To apply, please complete an application form and send to sdrapplications@gmail.com https://www.bijouxelegance.com/shereesdogrescue/SDR_Application_03-17-2016.pdfYou can send an APPLICATION FORM  by email at: shereesdogrescue@gmail.com, or by fax at:  469-453-3331.  For more information, please call Linda at 972-658-2487.March 7, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
Lucy and Bailey are a bonded pair of senior Shih Tzus looking for a home together. Lucy (female) is 12 years old and 15 pounds, and Bailey (male) is 9 years old and 14 pounds. They're both very friendly and get along well with other dogs. Bailey is a bit more outgoing and sociable, while Lucy is more reserved. They are not overly attached and can enjoy time apart, snuggling with other dogs or playing with people. Bailey recently had a dental where they removed 24 teeth. His blood work looks good, but the vets noted a grade 1 to 2 heart murmur. Lucy is scheduled to have dental surgery on March 18th. She had an ultrasound for elevated liver values when she first arrived, but the doctors didn't find anything, and her values are normal now. Both dogs are fixed, have recently had full blood work, and are up-to-date on vaccinations. If you're interested in adopting this bonded pair, please submit an application at: https://www.vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Molly enjoys playtime, gets the zoomies and particularly enjoys playing with her toys. Molly loves people and other animals. She is very social/playful. She enjoys sleeping with you and never forgets to give lots of kisses. Molly does well on car rides and enjoys going outside. Molly would do best in a home with another dog to spend her time with..

File your application and do not delay, ask questions later not to miss out on this gem. MEETS AND GREETS ARE IMMEDIATE for the right home. Molly is fully vetted and spayed.
