Story
Gertie Shihtzu mix Female Black, White, and Grey 8/10 years old 9 lbs Meet Gertie! Gertie is a gentle, loving senior pup who’s looking for a peaceful home to enjoy her golden years. Though her eyesight and hearing are limited, she gets around well and enjoys naps, sunshine, and sniffing around the yard. She’s as quiet as can be, no barking, just the occasional sneeze, and loves spending time near her person, especially when it’s mealtime! Gertie needs soft food since she has only a few teeth left, she has full dental with extractions, as well as daily eye drops and supplements to keep her comfortable. She isn’t fully house-trained but does well with regular outdoor breaks or a diaper indoors. She’s made wonderful progress in foster care and has so much love to give. If you have a calm home and a soft spot for senior dogs, she will be your sweetest little companion. ​ Please Note: **No children under 10!** ​ If you are interested in adopting GERTIE, please go to our website www.somersetcottagepoodlerescue.org to see our adoption process and download the adoption application ​ GERTIE's adoption donation is $495

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.

Story
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

Story
Sweet Charlie is a special furbaby who is shy. Charlie loves people. He will carefully approach his human, give them a kiss on the hand, and welcome a pet on his head. But he prefers to be the one to initiate the contact. If approached or picked up when he’s not expecting it, he may hurry away. Charlie is also playful and really enjoys burying toys under a blanket or pillow. He can entertain himself for quite a while with this activity! Another behavior that can be managed by a patient adopter is Charlie’s habit of getting into cabinets or trash cans or onto tables/countertops in search of food. Charlie  LOVES to eat and is super smart when it comes to finding food so keeping food stored out of his reach or blocking access to the kitchen with dog/baby gates helps reduce that behavior.  Charlie is housetrained and used to taking regular outside breaks in a fenced backyard. Having access to a fenced yard is important for Charlie because he can be nervous on walks and easily spooked by sounds like a car engine. For this reason, CHR is requiring that his adopter have a secure fenced yard. If there are other dogs in the home, you’ll be happy to know that Charlie gets along with most dogs but he will bark at any dog who tries to climb into bed next to him when he is resting.     Charlie has made amazing progress while he’s been with his foster mom and is learning to be more relaxed, but we know from experience that it will take more time to address his fearfulness. A patient adopter who doesn’t force Charlie into situations that make him uncomfortable will help Charlie continue to improve and gain more confidence.  application:  https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index    March 28, 2025, 7:58 pm
