Story
Meet Honey Bun and Piper -- a matched set of fluff, love, and reassurance.Honey Bun (female, Shih Tzu, 3 years old) is the confident ringleader. Piper (male, Shih Tzu, 9 months old) is her even tinier, fuzzier shadow, watching closely as she interprets the world for him. NO, that blowing leaf is not a threat; you may pounce on it. YES, human laps are warm and cozy; you may sit on them. If Piper hesitates, Honey Bun is already there, trotting ahead like a very small, very fluffy tour guide.Both were owner-surrendered for the usual reasons and through no fault of their own. They are healthy, affectionate, playful, and truly terrific together. Honey Bun brings the boldness. Piper brings the wide-eyed wonder. Together, they are a perfectly balanced blend of courage and cuddles.The beauty of adopting two pups is built-in companionship. When you leave for work, run errands, or enjoy a guilt-free dinner with friends, they have each other -- playing, napping, and keeping watch over the house like two fuzzy little sentinels.Honey Bun and Piper are available for adoption at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, including weekends and holidays. If your home has room for twice the love and half the worry, these two are ready to move in.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Story
Meet Pumpkin & Ginger – Bonded Shih Tzu Sisters Seeking Their Forever Home Pumpkin (black, 9 years old) and Ginger (pewter, 8 years old) are tiny but mighty senior Shih Tzu's, each weighing around 10 lbs. These inseparable sisters are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. We welcomed Pumpkin and Ginger a few months ago after their previous owners made the difficult decision to surrender them. Both girls have chronic skin and ear issues, which are common in Shih Tzu's. Thanks to the great care from our vet and foster family, they’re doing much better—but they’ll need ongoing support to stay comfortable and healthy. Their care routine includes: • Weekly medicated baths (can be done at home). Sometimes 2x a week if there is a flare-up • Regular use of topical medicated sprays/wipes • Occasional ear cleanings • Consistent grooming and haircuts • Special diet/supplements Ginger is fairly cooperative with her care, while Pumpkin has a bit more sass—but both are sweet and affectionate. They both had recent dental work, are spayed, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. They’re great eaters but require a special, chicken-free diet to help manage their skin from the inside out. Their meals include variations of fish-based kibble, peas, carrots, green beans, ground beef, Greek yogurt, omega oil, and probiotics—easy to prepare and not prescription-based. These ladies love (and sometimes demand) the royal treatment: lap time, naps, gentle brushing, sunbathing, short strolls, and lounging on soft beds. They’re mostly housebroken, crate-trained, travel well in the car, show no interest in the resident kitty, get along with other calm dogs, sleep well, and can be trusted alone at home. They will do best in a patient, quiet home with limited stairs, a small fenced yard (both prefer to potty off the leash), and a regular routine. Because of their size and special needs, small children and energetic dogs may not be the best fit in their new home. The cutest thing about them is that they both have an underbite and stick their tongues out. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to two loving, low-key companions who thrive on affection and routine, Pumpkin and Ginger would love to meet you.
