ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13940Hi! My name is Waverly and I’m a Shih Tzu mixed breed dog, a 7 year young gal weighing a healthy 15 lbs. I'm retired from my past life as a breeder mama and ready to learn how to be a dog and get to know human love. Things to know about me:> I've got one blue and one brown eye (heterochromia) which is common in Shih Tzu dogs> Yes, I must have my tongue out in ever picture 😜😛👅> I am more of a lounger than an adventurer. Give me a comfy bed, couch, or lap and I am there! > But when my human gets home or returns from an extended period of time, I get very excited and love doing zoomies> I am crate trained (It's my safe space) and sleep like a rock during the night> I was weary of going outside but now enjoy short walks around the block. There is so much to sniff!> I working on potty training and doing really well considering where I came from. Sidewalks and driveways are good targets of opportunity. I'm a little skeptical of grass though. Maybe it's because grass tickles my bum?> I am excellent on leash, walking by your side, and once in a while make eye contact to make sure my walker and I are in sync. I can't wait to get to my forever home! Is that with you? Apply to adopt me today! This cuteness won’t be available for long!

Story
Cutie pie Coco is just a darling mini miss who is seeking love and stability. This innocent gal was found tied to a fence. She was so sad! We saved her and gave her the safety and love she so wanted. She is a very good little pup who appreciates a mellow lifestyle, soft beds, gentle pettings, and yummy treats. Coco has the type of hair that keeps growing so she needs to see the doggie groomer every few months to keep her hair free from painful mattings. She's a high maintenance pooch but she is worth it! Can you give Coco the loving home she so wants? Meet this pup today!

Story
About Charlie   Age 2.5years old Weight 16 pounds Energy level Medium Healthy status Healthy  Ideal home Fenced yard with someone home part of the day   Charlie came to us from a local shelter. Charlie is an affectionate Shih Tzu mix who loves toys almost as much as he loves his people. He can entertain himself for quite a while, burying his toys under blankets and pillows, walking around with a toy in his mouth, or lying on his back holding a toy with his paws. He also loves cuddle, lap, and play time with his people and will gaze adoringly into their eyes. He enjoys meeting new people (especially if a treat is involved!), but he will stay at a respectful distance and approach them on his own time.    Charlie is a sturdy boy who weighs around 16 pounds. He enjoys being the center of his guardian's world, so we are asking that he go to a home without to many dogs because we want him to be spoiled!  Charlie does great with no accidents if he is let outside in the backyard every few hours like most dogs. He will go on indoor pee pads if necessary. Charlie prefers not to be left alone for too long, so we are asking for a home with someone home part of the day.

PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you!  Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion. ##2213440##

Newton is a mixed breed we presume to be Shih-Tzu / Poodle mix.  He is around 20 pounds (underweight) neutered and just recently vetted.  Newton ended up in a local shelter completely matted and in pain.  He was shaved down, neutered and had imbecile hernia repair.  He was too stressed out in the shelter so they reached out for a rescue group to help him.  We got there as soon as we can.  Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brother.  He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Look back here for more information as we get to know him better. Newton is a very affectionate companion.  He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you.  He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body.   Newton's personal webpage: https://hals.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20407942 Newton's videos on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6X5lkFtFSjMp6_fnKd7UOKB2JI797ftG&si=Kb-7CqQ6f_gyoNLE Newton's Facebook photos: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.7420757568005560&type=3 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
