Story
Pearl’s Journey—From the Shelter to Surgery and Now Healing Pearl is approx 12-14 year old shih tzu mix weighing in at 6 lbs. She was rescued from a kill shelter and released to us early due to her condition. It truly feels like divine timing—just in time for us to rush her in for emergency surgery. She was suffering from pyometra, a severe and often fatal uterine infection caused by not being spayed. Her chances of survival were slim, but our girl is a fighter. She made it through surgery and is now home recovering. If you listen closely to her video, you’ll hear her whimpering—she’s still in a lot of pain, but we’re keeping her pain meds on schedule to keep her as comfortable as possible. While under, she also had a much-needed dental. A couple of teeth had to be pulled, but she still has plenty left to flash a little smile. 😁 Pearl will need daily eye medication for the rest of her life, but that’s a small price to pay for the life she still has ahead of her. We’re so incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and helped us save her. She is now looking for a full time lap to spend the rest of her years. Please no small children in the household Her adoption fee is $250

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.

Story
Tanner is about 8 years old, and was rescued after having lost most of his fur due to neglect and fleas.  He has been cleaned up, neutered and is a happy little dog. His fur is growing back rapidly.  He loves to cuddle and be wherever his human is most of the time. He loves the outdoors and should be in a home with a back hard.  He is good with other small dogs and adults. He is very playful and eager to please; loves playing fetch with his toys. Tanner has a voracious appetite and loves the occasional treat.  Whoever adopts Tanner will have a friend and cuddle buddy for life. He does well in the car too, and would love to accompany you wherever you wish to take him! He is a very dapper gentleman. He will need some potty training, but that should not take too long once he is in a home with a yard (*he is currently in an apartment with a loving foster).  Tanner would do best in a home without young children.  ##2400348##
