Story
Breed: Shih Tzu/Maltese Mix Age: 4 Years Old Adoption Fee: $400 Snoopy loves quiet companionship, curling up beside you or on your lap while you work, sleeping in the bed, giving sweet kisses, and showing you his favorite toy. Snoopy has been through a lot and is still building confidence, but in the right home he truly shines. He enjoys walks, knows basic commands, is potty pad and outdoor trained (with potty bells). He does well free-roaming with access to his kennel and potty pad when alone, but may scratch at doors. He’s crate trained (with a little protest at first), and while he has some separation anxiety, he settles quickly and is doing very well on daily Prozac, which is affordable and he loves taking it. Snoopy at a glance: • 4 years old, 10 lbs, Shih Tzu/Maltese mix • Requires frequent brushing and eye cleaning; he’s sensitive with grooming and needs a slow, experienced approach (does great with a muzzle) • Sensitive tummy (no current issues) • Separation anxiety + mild car anxiety, but is improving a lot with medication • Needs overnight potty pad access or a middle-of-the-night potty break IDEAL HOME: • Adult-only, calm, patient household • No cats or large dogs (small dogs okay, he mostly coexists) • Someone home often who understands trust is built gently and allows him time to decompress Snoopy isn’t for everyone, but for the right person, he will be everything. He is loyal, affectionate, and deeply devoted once he feels safe. If you’re looking for a sweet companion, a snuggle buddy, and a little soul who will choose you every single day, Snoopy may be your perfect match. Apply: Acesplacerescue.org/adopt

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ginge is being fostered in AL. Ginge is a little girl with a bubbly personality. She loves to play with her toys and wants to play with other dogs, but is a little unsure. Ginge has a lot of energy and will play as long as you play with her. Then she’ll cuddle. Ginge is a social butterfly who loves hanging out with new people, but is still learning that people aren’t chew toys. She also will put anything in her mouth as she’s exploring so you have to watch her closely. Ginge has juvenile glaucoma and is totally blind. The good news is that her glaucoma is well controlled by eye drops given twice daily. Ginge eats well and comes running if she hears a bag rattle in the kitchen. She sleeps through the night in her crate. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
