Story
Meet Mimzy, a brave 9-year-old Shih Tzu looking for her forever home. Mimzy’s journey hasn’t been easy—she was rescued from a puppy mill and was even sent to the vet for euthanasia before she was given a second chance at life. Despite everything, Mimzy is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. Due to a few teeth being removed, her adorable little tongue often sticks out, adding to her charm. She’s excited to meet new people but can be a bit shy, as she’s still adjusting to the warmth and security of a real home. Mimzy will need some patience and training as she learns to trust and thrive in her new life. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a resilient spirit, Mimzy would be the perfect addition to your family. With time and care, she’ll blossom into the loyal, affectionate friend you’ve been waiting for.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Thor may be named after a god of thunder, but he’s as gentle as a summer breeze. At 7 years old, this handsome German Shepherd was heartbreakingly dropped off at a vet clinic to be euthanized when his family decided they didn’t want him anymore. But Thor’s story didn’t end there — it’s just beginning. Despite everything he’s been through, Thor is incredibly sweet, calm, and trusting. He walks like a dream on a leash, loves quiet time, and has the kind of mellow, easygoing personality that makes him the perfect companion. He’s currently undergoing treatment for heartworms, and what he needs most right now is a peaceful place to rest, recover, and rediscover what love truly feels like. Thor is searching for a foster or forever home where he can heal — not just physically, but emotionally too. He deserves a family that sees him for the treasure he is, and one that will never give up on him again. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a gentle soul who's ready to love you back tenfold, Thor is waiting for you.
