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.

NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS! Meet Sully! This adorable little fluffball was found running as a stray in an area where we’ve rescued two other Shih Tzu mixes who look just like him! His finder reached out for help, and thankfully, we had a foster ready to bring him safely into rescue. Sully is currently living with Johanna, her four dogs, and two cats. He may be the smallest in the pack, but he’s not shy about speaking up when another dog gets too far into his personal space. He’s playful, social, and just figuring out his boundaries. He’s also cat-friendly and kid-tested (8 years old). Sully has no issues being handled or picked up. He’s crate-trained, housetrained, has solid leash skills, and even knows “sit,” so he was clearly someone’s pet at some point. He LOVES his humans and is a total lap dog—his favorite place is curled up getting pets from his foster mom. Johanna describes Sully as a fun, upbeat pup who gets excited for any adventure. He rides great in the car and is ready to be your little sidekick. Sully is getting groomed today and will be heading to the DC metro area on 12/6. Apply today to welcome him home! BREED ESTIMATE: Shih Tzu Mix GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  11.5 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 2 years old COAT TYPE: fluffy, long coat needs regular grooming ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION: York, SC - COMING TO DC METRO on 12/6   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. December 4, 2025, 11:16 pm
