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
FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Anise! Anise is a 1-year-old, 11 lb Shih Tzu mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. This little guy is super sweet, goofy, and full of charm! Anise loves being held, carried, and enjoys sticking close to his people. He’s treat-motivated, eager to please, and always up for a walk or an adventure by your side. Whether it’s daily strolls, outings, or just tagging along with his humans, Anise is happiest when he’s included. He does great with other dogs and would love a home with another friendly pup as a full-time playmate. He could also thrive as an only dog as long as he continues to get regular socialization and doggy playdates. Anise will need adopters who are committed to keeping up with his grooming needs. He has not been tested with cats. If you’re looking for a small, affectionate companion who’s equal parts cuddly and adventurous, Anise could be your perfect match! Anise is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and will be neutered prior to adoption. His adoption fee is $500.

Story
Beacon is a six year old Shih Tzu. He’s a sweet, calm little man who is looking for a loving home. He has done really well since coming into foster care and has relaxed and is enjoying life. He is great about going potty outside on leash or roaming free in fenced yard. He is pretty quick about doing his business and isn’t bothered by a little rain. At night, he enjoys white noise (if there’s a lot of traffic sounds) but he sleeps really well all night in his space in the bathroom. During the day he comes out and hangs out with his foster mom and takes naps on the couch. He enjoys belly rubs and sitting by the fireplace. He has been very comfortable around our indoor cats. He shows no aggression towards them or any other animals he’s encountered. He has found some cat toys he likes and picks them up and carries them around. He’s slowly learning to play. He likes car rides and sits in his doggy car seat like a gentleman. He has been so good with baths and his eye meds. A calm reassuring voice is all he needs to understand that you are helping him. He is fairly comfortable around adults and teens and has shown no aggression at all. He’s getting more confident every day. He is a wonderful companion who enjoys sitting on the couch watching tv or walking around the block sniffing bushes and wagging his tail. Beacon is a good boy!
