HAPPY PLAY IS HER GAME  DOB 1/1/24, weight 8 lb. Hey there, everyone! Eva is my name, and “happy play” is my game. I'm an outgoing, affectionate, and friendly white Shih Tzu mix gal who loves to snuggle. Some dogs live to dig holes and chase cats, but Shih Tzus’ idea of fun is sitting in your lap and acting adorable as you watch TV. Imagine yourself with me, looking up to you with my innocent eyes, adorable under-bite, and sweet expression. Wherever we Shih Tzus go, giggles and mischief follow. Playful and energetic, I'm a lively charmer, and being cute is a way of life for me. I love everyone – kids, cats, and other small dogs -- and just want to be loved back. I'd probably get along great with well-behaved children who know enough to handle small dogs carefully. I’d make a great pet if you live in an apartment or lack a big backyard because we Shih Tzus require minimal exercise. I was abandoned in my kennel, which was full of my toys, on my Foster Mom’s driveway. Who would do that to a sweet, innocent girl like me unless they couldn’t afford to care for me in the current inflationary financial conditions? Although it hurt me that I wasn’t treated like a member of the family, Foster Mom promises to pick out the perfect home for me from the many applicants who will want me. Since I’m house-trained and kennel-trained, I hope you'll arrange to meet me today. I make friends easily and promise to be a devoted family member if you choose to take me home! HOPE ID D25-0102-001 If you are interested in Eva and would like to fill out a Dog Adoption Application, please go to: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php .

BOOSTS YOUR MOOD, MAKES YOU SMILE  Est. DOB 1/7/15, WEIGHT 12.7 lbs. Arf! Arf, everyone! I’m Sammy, a sweet, friendly, quiet, and affectionate white Maltipoo (Maltese/ Mini Poodle mix) fella who is, in my humble opinion, the world’s greatest little dog. I think my foster mom agrees because she loves it that I curl up and settle in her lap whenever I can. There are two resident dogs and a cat in my foster home, but I’m much rather interact with beloved Foster Mom than play with them. I have a comical idiosyncrasy: I like to burrow under anything I can move and get under. You name it – bedcovers, blankets, pillows, throws. Foster Mom thinks it’s adorable that a cute little thing such as I am likes to excavate my own little lair like a mole. Let me tell you a little about Maltipoos. We’re gentle, social dogs who love people. Our happy, cheerful dispositions are guaranteed to boost your mood and make you smile. We can even be good therapy dogs because of the comfort we provide. And I’m no exception to this profile! I really looked like a mess when my foster mom first rescued me! Oh my goodness – I weighed only 10 pounds! You could see every bone on my vertebrae, plus I had no hair on my back. My eyes were practically glued shut with “goop” from an infection; I also had an ear infection; and my mouth was a mess from neglected preventative dentistry. Thank heavens Foster Mom and the vet have transformed me into a new man! With a steady diet of nutritious food, I’ve gained 2.5 pounds, I’m filling out nicely, and my fur is growing back! I’m eating a soft diet that’s appropriate after all of the diseased teeth (that hadn’t already fallen out) have been pulled. I look and feel so much better! And the silver lining about having no teeth is that I don't need any future dental cleanings! Medications have cleared up my original eye and ear infections. The vet also diagnosed that I have a condition called “dry eye,” which means that I don’t produce tears like I should. So Foster Mom puts drops in my eyes twice a day and cleans out any “goop” once to twice a day Thanks to the hair around my eyes being clipped, Foster Mom can clean out my eyes easier. I have cataracts in both eyes so I have very limited visibility and bump into things, but get around once I've learned my way! I generally move slow so I don’t hurt myself ! Even though I sleep a good portion of the day, I am quite aware of sounds and scents. I will sound the alarm at unfamiliar noises. I will track Foster Mom down if she has moved from where I left her using my superior olfactory senses. My ideal home would be one that has a doggie door to a small fenced back yard and someone to keep me company.  I’m so grateful for all the love and attention that I’m getting! In return, I snuggle and cuddle like you wouldn’t believe! I’ve learned how to use the doggie door, and I’m now crate-trained. If you’re looking for a cozy lap dog and can look past my limitations, I’d really like to be your dog! Half of my life is still ahead of me, so let’s spend it together! My heart has so much love to give, all that’s missing is YOU!

Story
***COURTESY POST*** Meet Harold! Harold is a 3-year-old Chow/Shih Tzu mix and weighs about 25 pounds. He's a little shy at first, but once he comes around, WATCH OUT... he's a total love bug! Harold loves playing with his other 4-legged foster friends and playing "Chase me around the house while I carry your laundry in my mouth," with his foster mom. He is crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands. Because of his uncertainty around humans, Harold would not be suitable for a home with children under the age of 12. He absolutely loves toys and totes them about so everyone can admire his good fortune. Harold's hobbies include plowing through sticker bushes, giving hugs, car trips, and cheese tastings. He dislikes all green foods and Taylor Swift. If you are interested in adopting Harold, please contact the Westie & Scottie Rescue Houston via email: westiehouston@gmail.com
