So, you're probably wondering how a smart guy like me ended up in a shelter. Well, it involves a tennis ball, a squirrel, and a very confused mailman. Let's just say the mailman is still looking for his hat. I'm a sweet, friendly, and independent chap, but I must confess, I'm not a fan of being picked up. It's just not my style. I prefer all four paws on the ground, thank you very much. Now, why should you adopt me? Besides my charming personality and comedic history, I'm also a great listener. Plus, I promise not to chase your mailman... much.April 22, 2025, 10:01 am

Story
Mayzie is a female Shih-Tzu/Yorki mix and is 13 years old. MacGregor is a male Shih-Tzu and 11 years old. Both have been with us their entire lives and have been a wonderful part of our family. It breaks our heart to re-home them, but with two young g children and busy lives, these aging pups are not getting the attention the need and deserve. They need to be let out a lot more during the day and we would love for them to be with someone who could give them that. We really don't want to split these two wonderful pups up. They have been great with out 3 year old and 9 month old, as well with other relatives dogs. They are super sweet and cuddly, love attention, and have been wonderful to us. With their age and frequent need for potty breaks, we just feel it's not fair to them to keep them in our current situation.

Story
Ziggy was rescued into RHS on 2/22/25.  He is approximately 8 years old and weighed 15 lbs.  He was severly matted and was in need of help.  He received medical care and was shaved down at the same time.  He lost almost a pound of matted hair and dirt.  You can tell he came from an extended neglectful situations.  He has come so far in the last few weeks and he is a different little man.  He is working on going potty outside and is doing an exceptionally good job.  He walks on leash with some hesitation but improves gradually.  Car rides are good for him.  He likes his crate where he takes his afternoon naps often.  He has no issues with the 2 female dogs at the foster home.  He didn't hesitate to get a scratch from a young boy.   Overall, Ziggy is a quiet boy but gets excited whenever he was given a treat.  He is a great lap dog.  He needs someone who is patient because he is missing an eye and is partially blind in the other.  It won't slow him down at all once he learns your home and routines.  He is a wonderful dog with lots of love to give.   Here's how to meet Ziggy: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria.
