Story
Meet Kelci! Hi friends! My name is Kelci and I hope to be your next lovable furball. I am a 2 years young Shih Tzu and I am looking for my forever home. I may be a tiny little thing, but I am a brave pup who just wants to explore my world and meet new friends. I love other little doggies and get on well in a multi dog home. People are the best and I have yet to meet a stranger! My foster parents say I am puppy pad trained and I am working on making my business outside a permanent thing! I have been through a lot but that hasn't put even the smallest damper on my joy and personality. One last thing! Don't worry about my eye, though I can't see with it, I don't let it slow me down one bit. Plus, everyone I meet says my good eye is the prettiest ice blue you have ever seen.Please come visit me and I think you'll warm right up!Kelci is unable to see from her right eye due to congenital malformation, called microphthalmos. We cannot rule out an atrophic change ('phthisis bulbi') due to previous trauma or severe inflammatory damage to the eye, but in either case the outcome is the same, with a non-functional small eye. It causes her no pain and the 2 vets and eye specialist she has seen all agreed to leave it in place.Her left eye has perfect vision but will need to be monitored every 6 months for Vitreal degeneration which is a common finding in the Shih Tzu breed.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt It doesn't obligate you, but it is the first step.

Story
Meet Kassie! The delightful 8 year old sweetheart who has captured the hearts of everyone she meets. Kassie was surrendered by a breeder, but she has proven to be an absolute gem in her foster home. Her loving nature shines through as she craves cuddles and affection from her human companions.Kassie has adapted well to her new environment and has mastered the art of walking on a leash. She enjoys leisurely strolls, taking in the sights and sounds of the world around her. When it's time to relax, Kassie's favorite place is nestled on a lap, where she can bask in the warmth of a gentle touch while being petted.While Kassie is crate trained, she may require some additional house training to adjust fully to her forever home. She has been known to get along famously with both small and large dogs in her foster family. However, Kassie tends to playfully bark at cats who are uninterested in joining her playful escapades.One of Kassie's most remarkable qualities is her ability to be incredibly gentle and patient with children of all ages. She has formed a special bond with her foster family's newborn granddaughter, 5-year-old niece, 8-year-old nephew, and 15-year-old daughter. Kassie understands the importance of being calm and caring around young ones, making her an ideal companion for a family with children.Although Kassie may be shy with strangers, once she feels comfortable and secure, her loving nature shines through. She has never displayed any aggression towards humans or other animals, making her a trusted and dependable companion.If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly, and playful addition to your family, Kassie is the perfect fit. Her ability to spread love and joy is unparalleled, and she is eagerly waiting to find her forever home where she can shower her new family with affection and companionship.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt It doesn't obligate you, but it is the first step.

Story
I met Leo when I was 13 years old, he was born on December 11th. I had no idea how to raise a puppy but I dove headfirst anyway. We managed to make a routine, one that was less traditional. I am now 18 years old and Leo is 5. Because of my slight carelessness, Leo is unlike most. He is kind and shy and a little anxious. He never learned how to pee/poo because we never had time, and I never had patience. My parents are busy 24/7 and I am off to college, so Leo needs a new home. I am looking for someone who is devoted to helping Leo come to his fullest potential. Someone who will give him time and commitment every day. I have no doubt he'll love whoever he ends up with and I hope he learns to be everything he was missing out on with me.

Story
He needs about an eight to ten yr old boy to run and play with. He’s half Shih tzu and 1/4 chihuahua and 1/4 mini dapple dachshund. He’s used to being with two other dogs his size and is not used to any cats or kittens. I do not think he would get along with them either. His birthday is Jan 17, 2021 and weighs 14 lbs. He’s so sweet and fun, has favorite toys he loves to get from you. Doesn’t bring back or want you to have it again. I’m a grandma, he loves to be cuddled, but not overly. I rescued him from a friend. He needs to be regularly brushed and he doesn’t like to be, I shave his hair in the summer. He does shed. He is housebroken as long as you take him out regular, a fenced yard with doggy door would be idea for him. We do not have. He will go on pee pads also.
