My story

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

Holly is a 7 year old, 14 pound Shih tzu puppy mill survivor that likely spent most of her life living in a barn and having puppies.

She came into our rescue early December and is very slow warming up to her foster mom and her surroundings. She is not able to do stairs or walk on leash. She is still nervous, but is very slowly making progress.

She will need support with her house training.

She has a very sweet demeanor and would do well with another dog in the home. She came into the rescue with another shih tzu and they seem to lean on each other for support

Holly was recently spayed and had 7 teeth removed. This will not be a problem with her eating but should have a bit of soft food added to her kibble.

Holly will definitely need a secured back yard as she does not walk on a leash just yet.

It may take Holly a while to feel safe and secure. If you feel that you can provide Holly with kind, loving stable home please fill out an application for our review.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
