My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Breed: Shih tzu
DOB: 2007
Sex: Spayed female
Weight: 12 pounds

Poor little Claudia had a lot of problems when she showed up at the shelter. While it was noted that she was sweet and friendly, she was missing many teeth and many of the remaining ones needed to be removed. In addition, she had a very bad bladder infection that needed to be treated before she could have surgery to remove the many stones in her bladder .

Claudia is all “fixed up” now but she does have sometimes have trouble with her rear legs while walking. X-rays of her spine were normal so it may be a nerve problem. There is only one step in her current foster home and she handles that with no problem but she may not be able to go up or down a flight of stairs.

Claudia does act like an older dog as she does not seem to have any interest in playing with doggie toys or other dogs but has a pretty good appetite and likes to take strolls outside in the fenced yard when the weather is nice.

Our application can be found online at here.

Our adoption fee for dogs that are not seniors is $220. All dogs are spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccines and heartworm.
Our adoption process includes an application, personal and vet reference checks, and a home visit. We do not ship dogs under any circumstances.
We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check our front page for the dates of our next Pet Parade. Appointments outside of Pet Parade to visit our dogs are only available after an application has been filled out, and processing has begun.
Please be kind to our volunteers. E-mail inquiries will be answered much faster than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
