Story
Ames is a 15-lb, 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix, is ready to find his forever home! Ames is a happy, joyful little guy who truly loves life. He enjoys playing with his toys and is always up for a game of fetch. Watching him race around the backyard doing zoomies is pure happiness. Ames would thrive in a home with another small to medium-sized dog who enjoys playtime and a good game of chase. He does bark when his foster parents first leave the house, but this behavior continues to improve, with the barking time getting shorter as he settles. When it’s time to relax, Ames is all about the snuggles. He’ll curl up beside you on the couch and before you know it, he’s climbed into your lap, happily snoring away. Ames is potty-trained and kennel-trained. He has been non-destructive in his foster home and does not require kenneling when his foster parents are away. At night, he prefers sleeping in his kennel, where he settles in comfortably.

We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs. ##2631905##

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
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.

Story
Meet Dylan! Dylan is an adorable bundle of BIG dog energy in a munchkin frame. Don’t let his size fool you, Dylan will bring puppy energy all day long! He loves dog toys, being outside, and playing with his foster dog siblings. However Dylan can be a bully, so meet and greet with other dogs at the home is a must. Because of his energy and play style, Dylan needs an experienced dog owner. He will need a home with a backyard (no apartments) that he has regular access to, either a doggy door or some one home to let him out often. Dylan will thrive with another dog, especially a big one, that matches his energy! He is currently finishing heartworm treatment and will be available for adoption on February 10th.

Story
Edie is a 3 year old Shih Tzu who was found as a stray in South Texas. She weighs 9 lbs and is very sweet but a little skittish. Life has been rough and she just recently joined the Dallas Dog - Rescue.Rehab.Reform family. She has a milky eye but it doesn't appear to cause her any impairment, and she gets along great with other little dogs. All Dallas Dog adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon finalizing adoption. Puppies adopted under the age of five months require a spay/neuter contract, and all dogs are required to be spayed by six months unless otherwise medically noted. Our dogs are currently on heartworm preventative. Puppies receive 3 to 4 rounds of vaccinations depending on their age, and adults receive two rounds unless they've been with us longer than a year, in which case they receive the booster update. You can complete an application or view all the adoptable pets on our website at www.dallasdog.org/adopt. Upon receiving your application, please allow us 2-3 business days to review and process.
