Story

🐾 Big Red 🐾 Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | DOB: April 5, 2024 Big Red is a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from a backyard breeding situation and is now looking for a patient, loving forever home. Because of his background, Big Red was not well socialized early on and can be nervous at first. He is also not fully potty trained yet and will need a home willing to continue working with him using consistency and positive reinforcement. Since arriving at the rescue on December 17, 2025, Big Red has made wonderful progress and has really started to come out of his shell. When Big Red arrived, he had fleas and was heavily matted. He has since been fully treated, groomed, and is now feeling much more comfortable. He is a very sweet boy who enjoys affection once he feels safe and settled. 🩺 Medical & Vetting: • Neutered • Microchipped • Heartworm tested negative • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated 🐶 Other Pets: Big Red has done well with other dogs. He has not been tested with cats or children. 🏡 Ideal Home: Big Red would do best in a calm, patient home that understands he is still learning what life in a home is like. With time, routine, and love, he will continue to build confidence and make a wonderful companion. 📍 Ready to apply? 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog

Story

Beanie is a 2 year old neutered male shih-tzu he was born on 07/15/2023 he is house trained, likes to stay to himself, he loves to cuddle but the majority of the time will just do his own thing and be just as content. He will take any attention he can find he always has food and water down at all times to eat and drink as he wants too. He is one of the best dogs I have ever had, he is what I would consider a very low maintenance animal, he doesn’t stay on top of you begging for attention all the time but loves to have company would make a great pet for an older person! I have a new job now that keeps me entirely too occupied to give him more of the life that he truly needs and deserves. So I am looking for the right person who is looking for a calm, loving yet relatively low maintenance companion to bring into their life.

Story

Bubbles and her sister and brother, Buttercup and Brodie were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd this year so they are 8 months old. Bubbles has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs just under 9 pounds and is probably full grown now. Bubbles is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Although and three pups are extremely sweet, Bubbles is a most friendly and a super snuggler! She plays great with her brother and sister and we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them. She would do well with older children and we have not had her around cats but we feel like she would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

Buttercup is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Buttercup is a little bossy but plays great with her brother and sister. we feel like she would be fine with other dogs after getting to know them but would always want to be the boss. She would be fine with older children, and we are not sure about cats but the bossy part would be the same at first.

Story

Peace was born on October 12, 2023. I purchased him from a nice couple that bred and raised pup litters when he was 3 months old. He loves being around people & attention. He follows you everywhere & loyal. He's loves to eat and is food motivated. He is used to higher-quality foods. Dogs his breed and size have sensitive stomachs. He eats either Stella & Chewy or Vital Proteins brand. My family's schedule has become busier. He knows to go potty outside but is not fully trained & does have accidents. He doesn't like the rain too much, especially to potty. He can be mischievous and stubborn at times & will hold it and go inside if he's not watched. Overall, he is very sweet. Although we love Peace very much, my family would like to find another loving home for him to grow in. He is very playful and energetic. A home life with a consistent schedule, preferably with smaller children, would be best, or someone often home that can match his energy.
