Story

🐾 Kernel 🐾 Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | Adult (Approx. 2–3 Years Old) Kernel is a resilient little Shih Tzu who came to us from the same backyard breeding situation as the others. Despite his rough start, Kernel has shown us just how adaptable and sweet he can be. Kernel has one eye, as his other eye unfortunately ruptured while he was still in the care of the breeder. He has adjusted very well and gets around just fine—his missing eye does not slow him down or affect his quality of life. 🩺 Medical & Vetting: • Neutered • Microchipped • Heartworm tested negative • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated ✂️ Grooming Notes: We were told by the breeder that Kernel may become aggressive during grooming. However, when groomed by our groomer, Kernel did very well overall. The only area he showed discomfort with was having his face groomed, which is not uncommon. With patience, consistency, and a groomer experienced with sensitive dogs, this should continue to improve over time. 🐶 Other Pets: Kernel has done well with other dogs while in our care. He has not been tested with cats or children. 🏡 Ideal Home: Kernel would do best in a patient, understanding home that is willing to continue building trust and confidence. His one-eyed status does not require special care beyond normal awareness, and he would make a loving companion for the right family. 📍 Ready to apply? 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog

Story

🐾 Georgie 🐾 Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | Adult (Approx. 2–3 Years Old) Georgie is a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from the same backyard breeding situation as Lester and Big Red. Because of his past, Georgie is more on the nervous side and takes a little longer to warm up—but once he does, his loving personality truly shines. Since coming into our care, Georgie has made great progress. While he may be shy at first, he has really come out of his shell and now enjoys affection and happily gives kisses right on your face once he feels comfortable and safe. 🩺 Medical & Vetting: • Neutered • Microchipped • Heartworm tested negative • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated ✂️ Grooming Notes: Georgie showed some sensitivity around having his face groomed. With time, patience, and positive experiences, this is something he can continue to improve on. Any potential adopter should ensure their groomer is aware that Georgie may be uncomfortable with face handling and could react defensively. A big thank you to Jessica at Hair of the Dog Grooming (Louisa County, VA), who groomed Georgie and is generously offering one free groom after adoption. 🐶 Dog-to-Dog Notes: We were told by the breeder that Georgie may guard humans from other dogs and could potentially be reactive. However, we have not observed any aggressive behavior at the rescue, and Georgie has done well around other dogs in our care. As with any dog, slow and proper introductions are always recommended. 🏡 Ideal Home: Georgie would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands he needs time to build trust. Once he feels safe, he is incredibly affectionate and eager to bond with his people. 📍 Ready to apply? 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog
