Story

Harvey is a gentle, affectionate 1.5 year old Shih-Tzu who’s looking for his forever home after being rehomed through no fault of his own. He came from a loving environment, but there were just too many large foster dogs for this little guy to truly thrive. Once with me, I learned myshih-tzu must be an only dog in my home. He is sweet-natured, easygoing, and happiest when he’s cuddling up next to you or following you around the house like a fluffy shadow. He gets along with other small, calm dogs and would do best in a home where he’s not overwhelmed by big or overly energetic pups. He’d also be perfectly content as your only. This little gentleman does not seem to be fully house-trained or leash trained, but he has a polite, mellow temperament. His previous owner worked at a rescue and handled his vetting but did not provide paperwork. Harvey would be a wonderful companion for someone who works from home, a retired adopter, or a calm household looking for a loyal lap dog.

Story

Ari is being fostered in PA. 5-12-2025 Ari did very well with her dental and lumpectomy. She had 12 teeth removed and her mass was benign. An update on her personality and potty skills: Ari is very predictable with her potty habits and only goes about 3 times a day. She sleeps completely through the night, eats her breakfast and then does her business so she can easily be taken outside to eliminate before her breakfast at lunch and then around her dinner time. If she does get up in the middle of her naps or at night, she will eliminate on a potty pad if it’s placed right by her bed. She adores lying beside her foster mom on the sofa and will nudge her hand for pets. She has yet to make a peep in her foster home. Ari is also has the softest fur ever! Little Ari is guessed to be about 12 years old and appears to be a shih tzu mix. She is a quiet, gentle, passive, loveable girl who loves her meals and can sleep like no other! She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages. She simply ignores other dogs and cats in her foster home and needs to be in a home with gentle pets and children because it does not appear like she will defend or stick up for herself. She is just as happy to snuggle up on the sofa as she is to find her bed for the day on the floor. She seems to enjoy sniffing all she can when she’s outside but may not make the best walk buddy, as she’d rather meander and smell things. She rides well in the car and tolerates her foster mom’s kisses very well. Ari is completely blind since she has no eyes and her hearing is poor. Her foster mom keeps a potty pad close to her bed so when she gets up from her nap, she has it to potty on when her mom is working. She will not indicate a need to go out to potty. She will need to be carried outside but does fine exploring once she’s out. She cannot go up or down stairs by herself. She will have a dental and a lumpectomy of a non-cancerous mass on her cheek on May 9th and will be ready to find her forever home shortly after. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
