Story
Ellie May is a 4-year-old, 15 lb ShihTzu/Maltese mix. She is available for adoption because her family had an emergency situation and could no longer care for her. Humane Tomorrow promised we would find a great home for her. Ellie May is just as sweet as she can be. She may be a little shy at first, which is understandable since she has been through so many recent changes. She will warm up quickly, once she feels safe and settles in to her new home. Ellie May loves playing with the other little dog in her foster home. She would probably do well in a home with another small dog companion. She will also do fine as a only dog, as long as she gets enough attention and exercise. Ellie May does not like being left alone, but again, that is probably due to her recent life changes. She will improve as she feels more safe and secure in her new home. She will do better in a home where her people are not gone for long hours. Interested in meeting cute Ellie May? Please submit your application, and an adoption counselor will contact you.

Story
Boots is about 10lbs of total cuteness! He is a little Shih Tzu, about 2 years old. He still has plenty of puppy play in him! He likes toys – stuffies, small balls (still learning to bring back for fetch, but will chase), and he likes treats! He has confidence and doesn’t yet understand boundaries – so if you are seated, be prepared for this little nugget to launch into your lap! Boots gets along with other dogs, and has warmed up to the dogs in his foster home, all which weigh between 10-30 lbs. He may be a little wary of dogs that are a lot bigger than he is. Boots came to Humane Tomorrow because his previous owner had 38 (yes, 38!) dogs and could no longer care for them. Humane Tomorrow took 16 and other rescue groups took the remainng. All the dogs came in extremely dirty, matted, and in need of medical care. Boots is now groomed and vetted and ready for adoption. Boots is a very good boy, especially considering his background situation. Boots loves attention – back scratches, behind the ears, and on your lap are all favorites of Boots! It took him a little while to understand a collar, and we are currently working with a harness and leash, but he is eager to learn and loves to be with his people. His house training is coming along, although he doesn’t really like the crate, especially at night, but he will snuggle into his doggie bed (or if you allow, on your bed) and sleep well at night. These Boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do,…….with his loving smile and his “I’m so sweet” look, Boots will be walking all over you to get attention! If interested in Boots, please complete an application and one of our adoption counselors will be in touch.

Story
Rhiannon is a playful and sweet little shih tzu mix. She gets along fine with other dogs and cats, but would really love to be someone's constant and favorite companion. She loves squeaky toys and will play fetch if you throw them for her. She will pirouette like a ballerina for treats. She doesn't know many commands yet, but she is very treat and praise motivated. She should be easy to teach. She loves to snuggle up on the couch with her people. She would prefer a low-stress home.

Story
Boomer's Story ALL PETS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ONLY TO RESIDENTS OF THE DALLAS/FT WORTH METROPLEX MEET AND GREET APPOINTMENTS SET UP WITH PRE-APPROVED APPLICATION ONLY! Boomer was fostered and adopted by a wonderful family about a year and a half ago thru RT4P. They love him but it has become very evident that a home without kids would be best for him. He is super sweet the majority of the time but he gets spooked by the kids in the home and he tries to bite because it’s his only way to defend himself he thinks. Boomer likes to sniff any new folks he meets before being petted. He loves attention but he needs to make sure you are ok first. Nothing wrong with that! We would love to see Boomer in a home where he can relax and not be on edge. He is such a cute fella we know he is going to find a home that is suited for him! Please share him with any of your Shih Tzu loving friends and let’s find him a home! Applicants must live in DFW - the first step in the process is to complete an application. Please go to roadtrip4paws.com and click on the Adopt tab to find a link to our online application. We reserve the right to refuse placement of an animal for any reason

Story
Bella's a playful and loving 4 year old pup. She loves cats and attention. She does not like other dogs though. She was raised with cats and think she is one. She is house trained. But we have always kept her out of rooms that have carpet because when she was a puppy she did pee on the carpet but never on our tile or hardwood floors. Our last son that was born is highly allergic to dogs. We hate to rehome her but she is a great dog. She would do well with somebody that is home all the time because she would not do well being crate trained.
