He was rescued from an illegal breeding facility in South Korea, where dogs are treated as commodities instead of companions — but Pickle is finally safe and ready for a new beginning. At six years old, Pickle is in a wonderful, settled stage of life. He enjoys gentle walks, cozy naps, and staying close to his people. He’s calm, affectionate, and content simply being part of a loving home. With patience and consistency, Pickle is ready to build a deep bond with a family who will show him what true comfort and care feel like. &#226&#156&#168 Pickle is looking for a foster or forever home where he can continue to grow in confidence and finally experience what it means to belong.

Story
Meet Pretty! Pretty is an almost 1 year old Shih Tzu / Havanese mix. She was bottle-fed and it shows in the best (and wildest) ways. Pretty is extremely social and absolutely convinced that every person and every dog on earth is her best friend. She loves people of all ages and thrives on being right in the middle of whatever is happening. Privacy? Never heard of her. ,She adores other dogs and must have a confident, playful companion dog in the home, ideally one who enjoys being parkour equipment. She is way too energetic for a senior person or senior dog and will happily bounce off furniture, walls, and occasionally your dignity. Her zoomies are legendary: not quick one-minute bursts, but full half-hour cardio sessions. True to her breed, Pretty does bark at people she sees but it is less of a "get off my lawn" and more of a "GET OVER HERE AND PLAY WITH ME". Cats, however, are a different story. After being slapped by one, she decided to hold a lifelong grudge and is now a committed cat chaser.  She is athletic, nosey, and always where the action is. She also loves mud like it's a lifestyle choice, so her future family should expect regular grooming to keep her mat-free and clean. Party girl energy, spa-day maintenance. Pretty has an oversized tongue, a tiny jaw, and malformed or missing teeth, which means her tongue is always out and somehow always adorable. Annual dental and oral checkups will be important, as dental disease could be a concern down the road. Her biggest flaw? A complete lack of survival instincts. Pretty fully expects you to catch her when she launches herself into a trust fall or trust leap. She operates under the unshakable belief that the world is safe, everyone loves her, and gravity is optional. She's never met a stranger in her life. If you are looking for a fearless, chaotic, affectionate little rock star who lives life at full volume, Pretty is ready to steal the spotlight (and your heart).  Pretty is vaccinated, spayed and chipped. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Beacon is a six year old Shih Tzu. Beacon is a sweet boy. He is slowly learning to trust people and understand that he can relax and enjoy being a dog. He is not at all aggressive, just a little jumpy if you move too quickly around him. He will let you hold him and he has been so good and patient with meds and baths. He does not understand ‘outside’ or what dogs do outside but he is slowly working on that. He enjoys listening to white noise and nature sounds to help him relax and has even enjoyed watching some football on TV! Beacon would be a great companion for a calm household with lots of love to give. He currently sleeps on a blanket in a large bathroom. He sleeps through most nights with white noise playing. He also naps during the day. He is afraid of the the great outdoors, but is working on it. He’s really good about using potty pads inside and seems to like to wait to do it when you are there if possible. He is a bit nervous if you move too quickly around him but he is getting more comfortable by the day. He demonstrates no aggression at all. He hasn’t barked at cats or teenagers. He rides well in a car. Beacon is a cute, sweet little guy who is being so brave in this new chapter in his life. -----

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
Sweetie Pie is a Shih Tzu puppy. She is very sweet and completely calm. She has playful energy but is also very calm and cuddly. She will follow you around the house and loves to be with her people. She is absolutely amazing with small kids. She sleeps in a soft crate with access to water and a pee pad inside a playpen. She is great at sleeping mostly through the night but will bark in the morning to let you know she wants to go outside. She is really good at going potty outside as long as she is taken out frequently. She is having almost no accidents and getting better each day. She is a quick learner and is sometimes even walking to the door when she wants out. She is absolutely amazing with small kids even letting them carry her around and invaded her space constantly and she seems to love it, she is so calm and patient with their kid energy. She is good with other dogs, at least small ones, and with children. She is fine riding in a car. She is definitely food motivated. She will be an absolute dream for anyone looking for a sweet cuddly pup. -----
