Story
This is a real gem of a pet, do not miss out on this gentle gentleman named PHILLIP. He is 2 years old and a very small 13 pounds. We all thought he barely weighed 10 pounds. How in the world could someone put this adorable little guy out in the streets? He was so matted and dirty and no microchip and after posting him on social media looking for his owner, no one came forward. I am honored to have him in my home, no faults for him, a total and complete package. He is routine, he knows where his house is and when you let him out he goes straight to the backdoor to go outside to potty. He ventures around a little outside, exploring new stuff and then comes back so he can spread all of his love. Okay, sorry for the hack job I did on grooming him but my main concern was just to get the matting off. I cannot tell you how giddy this guy makes me, he is such a good little sport, PHILLIP is non-reactive to dogs, he does not care if they are barking their heads off, he just goes trotting along about his business. There is no aggression in him anywhere. I love holding and kissing on him and you can just feel that he is so grateful. He walks great on a leash, no pulling and rides in the car without getting sick looking out the window to see what the world has to offer. Do not take time to think about this guy, he is a great catch and a wonderful family pet. To get the ball rolling, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org

Shih Tzu

Male, Adult
Yelm, WA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Yoshi is a small dog that loves his toys, loves to play fetch and tug on a toy. He can be a little shy and standoffish when he first meets new people. But he'll warm up to you if you play fetch or give him a special treat. He likes to play but also will snuggle up with you when playtime is over. He will sleep in his crate or on the bed if you prefer. He does require grooming but doesn't shed. We're moving to Europe with the military and can't take him with us. He is a sweet playful dog. He is good in the car, lives with two cats. It may be best if Yoshi is the only dog as he hasn't been in a live in situation with another dog. He has been around children 7 and up.

Story
Hi, we're Misty and Lulu, real sisters (in the Seattle area) with hearts full of love. We've spent our lives together, sharing every moment. We're sweet, friendly, and mellow, always sticking by each other's side. At 9 and 20 lbs, we're a perfectly bonded pair, fully vetted and ready to find a forever home where we can share our loyalty and love. We promise to fill your home with warmth and companionship. Consider making us a part of your family; we're just waiting to love and be loved in return. Note:  when proof of dental is sent, the adoption fee will be returned to the adopter.   We are DESPERATE for a home of our own.  We are about 8 years old, and a bonded pair. Despite our different looks, we are true sisters from the same purebred shih tzu mommy dog.  By NO fault of our own, we have been in multiple situations/ houses and have been relocated SO many times we really want someone to love who will love us too.  We have been back in the care of our rescue for a number of months, and keep seeing our friends/ roommates get placed, but not us.  We are 2 of the best pups there too (we don't just say that, our fosters tell  us so as well).  They say we are absolutely too sweet and wonderful to be stuck without a home of our own.  We do great with kids, cats, and other dogs... as long as the other dogs are not bossy or mean to us.  We do pretty good not pottying in the house as long as we are kept on a regular schedule going outside.  We are super sweet natured.  We love to see what you are doing and just be near you whatever that is.  We are not super high energy, so no need to do any dramatic things with us activity wise.  We just love attention and cuddles!  We need to be monitored when fed so Lulu doesn't eat all of the food... she tends to like it the most and steals mine when she can. I know we aren't young puppies anymore, but please give us a chance .  Our rescue has a trial designed for you... so that you can be sure we are a good fit with your situation. Our vetting up to date (spay, heartworm free and on preventative, rabies, microchip, other vaccines up to date), with the exception of our dentals that need updated.  We had our last dental about 3 years ago.  I (Misty) have an old eye injury that I have had since a puppy.  It does not bother me I am so used to not seeing too well out of that eye.
