Story
(01/04/26) FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Haunter! Haunter is a 4-year-old, 15 lb Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix with the cutest little underbite and a soft, fluffy coat. He’ll need a home committed to regular grooming to keep him comfortable and looking his best. Haunter came to us from a difficult past where he missed out on early socialization, and because of that, the outside world can feel overwhelming for him. He is very fearful in unfamiliar environments, especially with loud noises and busy surroundings, and he will need continued support learning the basics—including leash walking—at his own pace. For this reason, Haunter will do best in a standalone home with a fully fenced yard. Apartments or high-traffic living situations would not be a good fit for him. At heart, Haunter is a gentle, loving boy who just wants to feel safe. He loves being close to his person, enjoys being held, and prefers a calm, predictable lifestyle. He has not shown to be a high-energy or playful dog and would thrive in a quiet home where he can move at his own pace while slowly building confidence with the world. Haunter would do well as an only dog with an adopter committed to patient, positive socialization, or in a home with a laid-back, calm dog companion who can peacefully coexist and help him feel more secure. He will need a patient, understanding adopter—ideally someone experienced with shy or fearful dogs—who can help him learn that the world doesn’t have to be scary. This sweet boy has so much love to give and is looking for a soft place to land with someone who will give him the time, structure, and compassion he deserves. Haunter is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

Story
Meet Bentley Bentley is an 8-year-old pup with a sweet, loyal personality once he warms up to you. He’s house-trained, protective of his home, and happiest in a calm, child-free environment—perfect for a single owner, couple, or retiree who can give him patience and attention. He’s low-maintenance, content being home alone during the day, and doesn’t need much exercise. Bentley can be nervous around men and other dogs but becomes incredibly affectionate once he feels safe. He’ll need a little extra leash training, as he tends to bark on walks. Grooming is needed about 3–4 times a year—he does best with a mobile groomer he’s comfortable with. It breaks our hearts to rehome him, but we know he’ll thrive in the right home. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion, Bentley might be the one.

Story
I bought Brutus for my disabled wife who has passed on. Brutus loves to play with toys, take walks and sit in your lap when it's time to chill. Brutus will be 2 in July. I have a second dog Suzie-Que, 5, a terrier of some sort. Brutus and Suzie-Que had puppies 1/25/26 and are a couple. The puppies have new homes. I lost my home and these pets deserve a great home. Having to rehome my pets is very saddening but must be done. If these two could be together it would be great. I'd be willing to waive fees for a good home.

Story
Bouffant is a 2 year old Shih Tzu. She’s a bit shy around other animals (cats and dogs) but not aggressive. She is still opening up a bit, but only time will tell. She has experience around other small dogs, but not around big dogs or high energy dogs. She likes to be carried around and snuggle on laps. She is not timid or aggressive. She sleeps in the bed. She has a play pen but she escaped by climbing the side so that does not work. “ So far pretty good with potty time as long as she goes outside a lot. She does not like the rain much. She is nervous around the cats and dogs a bit but may warm up with time. She does not like it when other dogs are barking. She is sweet and gentle and not all that playful yet. She probably just needs some time to come out of her shell as time goes on. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Beef Jerky is a Shih Tzu puppy with a curious spirit, a playful side, and just the right amount of cuddle. He’s the perfect little sidekick who loves being near his people—following you from room to room—but doesn’t need to be glued to you 24/7. BeefJerky is a confident little explorer who enjoys checking out his surroundings, playing with toys, and having the occasional playful wrestle with other small dogs. That said, he’s also grown comfortable being a solo pup and would do just fine as your one-and-only or with a canine companion. He’s not possessive of his humans and has shown no signs of aggression—just a happy, curious puppy figuring out the world. He’s great with kids, though like many puppies, he appreciates his space when he’s tired and may give a gentle “hands off” warning. He’s perfectly comfortable being handled by his trusted humans and absolutely loves greeting you with sweet little kisses. Beef Jerky is already picking up on some basics—he knows how to sit and is working on “lay down.” He’s very food motivated (which helps a lot with training!) and has no issues around food. He’s doing well with puppy pads most of the time, though he’s still learning, and hasn’t quite figured out going potty outside yet—but he does love exploring the yard. At night, he sleeps in a crate or playpen and does well. He may wake up briefly for a little nighttime wiggle or play, but settles back down easily. He’s comfortable in his crate and has even made it his little treasure den—don’t be surprised if your socks or shoes mysteriously disappear and end up tucked away with him! 😆 He also has a soft spot for cozy spaces like baskets, where he keeps his favorite blankets and toys. BeefJerky rides well in the car after a short adjustment period and has even done great in a backpack carrier while out and about. He’s a quiet, adaptable pup who just wants to be part of the action—whether that’s playtime, adventure time, or winding down at home. BeefJerky is truly a sweet, silly, and lovable little guy who’s ready to find his forever home. Whoever adopts him is getting a loyal companion with a playful heart and lots of love to give. -----
