Story
Figgy aka Figs is a calm, laid back boy who is content with sitting in your lap, laying in bed with you, laying beside you...in other words, being your best friend! He prefers to have you in his sight at all times. Figs is on a strict diet of prescription food (he's a little too fluffy) and his snacks are green beans and English peas. His ideal home would include a fenced in yard where he can meander around the yard at his leisure. The only time he gets in a hurry is when it's mealtime. He loves to bark at squirrels, leaves falling off the trees, bugs, just anything that catches his attention. An apartment would not be ideal for him since he can be quite vocal If you would like to add Figgy to your family, please go to goofyfootrescue.org and fill out an application.

Story
Meet DeDe, our charming 7-8 year old Shih Tzu lady! She's just joined our family and is currently adjusting to her new environment. While she's still in the decompression phase, DeDe is incredibly sweet and adores affection. This lovely girl hasn't had much training in the past, so the crate and leash are still unfamiliar to her. However, with plenty of positive reinforcement and a little patience from her human, she's making great progress! Despite being a bit fearful of new situations, DeDe is eager to please and has a gentle nature. DeDe tends to have a low energy level, making her the ideal couch potato companion once she feels safe and settled in her new home. Although she may need to shed a few pounds to get back to her best shape, she's motivated and ready to start her wellness journey! Coming from a household with lots of little dogs, DeDe should do well with another balanced canine companion. Alternatively, she'll thrive as an only dog, as long as she receives her daily walks for some light exercise. ‍ She doesn't require a ton of activity, so DeDe would make the perfect companion for a quiet home environment or a retired owner seeking a furry friend. Ready to welcome DeDe into your heart and home? Don't miss out on the chance to make her a part of your family! Apply to adopt DeDe today at greendogsunleashed.org/adopt. #AdoptionSavesLives #ShihTzuLove #ForeverHome At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2040843##

Story
Introducing Happy, our sweet six-year-old Shih Tzu girl! Happy may be shy and reserved, but she's slowly but surely finding her footing in her foster home. Coming from a household with numerous small dogs, Happy is well-suited to be the center of attention as the only pet or to share her home with another well-balanced pup. Though she's only been with us for a short time, Happy is already getting the hang of her new routine and showing her gentle and affectionate nature. While she may be a little nervous about the whole leash-walking process, with a little time and patience, we know she will pick it right up! As a laid-back gal, Happy is expected to maintain a low-energy lifestyle, making her the perfect companion for a quiet and loving home environment. She thrives on love and affection and is eagerly awaiting the chance to bond with her forever family. While she may need a bit of encouragement to embark on daily walks and achieve her ideal weight, Happy is more than willing to put in the effort with the support of her dedicated human. ‍ With patience and understanding, she'll blossom into the confident and happy pup she's meant to be. Ready to open your heart and home to Happy? Don't miss the chance to make her a part of your family!
