Story
I have had Sasha since she was 4 months old. She was bought at a pet store in Webster, Massachusetts in 2012. She is a great loving dog but is pretty independent. She gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Her eyesight and hearing has started to diminish but it doesn't seem to slow her down. Her "brother" Cooper is a year younger than her and she follows his lead.

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.

Story
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION WITHOUT READING ENTIRELY! SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! Gia is an 8-year-old spayed Shih Tzu with the gentlest soul and a heart full of love. She’s incredibly well-mannered, enjoys greeting people and other dogs on walks, and still has plenty of energy for her age. Her favorite things are cuddles, belly rubs, and simply being close to her people. At this time, Gia is currently experiencing some incontinence and wearing diapers due to a bacterial infection and possible bladder stones that are currently being treated through a prescription diet and medications. Outside of this medical issue, She is house-trained. Gia deserves a loving home with someone who can continue to keep up with her medical care as X-rays and further testing may be needed in the near future. In return, she will offer unwavering companionship, affection, and endless love. She’s a truly special girl who just needs a chance and a compassionate heart willing to care for her. 🐶💕
