Story
Introducing Charlie! He is a 10 year old, 20 lb ShihTzu mix. He was living his good life in his previous home until his person became too ill to care for him. Humane Tomorrow promised we would find a great home for him. 10 is the new 7 in ShihTzu years, so no worries about his age. You can see that he has a little snaggle tooth if you look real close. This only adds to his cuteness and charm! Charlie has a sweet temperament. He enjoys going on walks and has great leash manners. He also likes car rides. He may be a little cautious when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly. Charlie gets along with the other small dog in his foster home. He is housetrained, crate trained, and he doesn't bark much. What a great little dog! Please submit your application, and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.

Story
Rico is a 3.5 year old, 7 lb Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix. Breed mix is just our best guess since he was found as a stray. People are shocked at the cute little dogs that are found as strays, but it happens all the time! Rico is friendly with the small dog in his foster home, but he is untested with large dogs. He loves squeaky toys, interactive play time, and burrowing under the covers. One of his fav things is taking long walks. When foster mom says "Outside" or "Walk" he does a little dance of excitement! Foster mom nicknamed him Billy because he is such a climber. He will climb up and perch on her shoulders or on the back of the couch. Rico needs a home where his people are with him most of the time, and he will reward them with loyalty and affection. Please submit your application, and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.

Story
Farley is a very happy boy who loves his people. He is estimated to be about 6 years old, and 13 lbs. He is an easy lap size, and does like to sit on your lap, but he is also content to be hanging out in the same room with you on a doggie bed. He is very treat/food motivated, possibly because he was quite underweight when he came into rescue. He likes to play with toys, especially stuffies, but hasn’t shown much interest in fetch. He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home, although he is at a disadvantage because he is deaf, but that doesn’t seem to slow him down. Farley is so cute! Especially when he does a funny little dance when he gets excited (his Chris Farley dance – think SNL) – sometimes spinning in circles, especially at feeding time or when you first get home. He walks on a leash. When he tries to get into something he shouldn’t, all it takes is a touch on him to catch his attention, make eye contact and direct him to something else more appropriate. He can be crated, although that is not his favorite, and at night, he typically sleeps on the bed (his foster parents caved because he is just too cute!) But because he likes to get into things, he does need to be crated when you are not home (he has gotten onto tables when he thinks there is food there). He may not be good in an apartment because when he first realizes he is alone, or when he is crated, he can panic and bark. He loves to be outside – if his people are there. If people are not outside with him in the yard, he will go out to do his business, and then wants to come back inside right after. If you are interested in Farley, please submit an application and one of our adoption counselors will contact you.
