Story
Clyde is a sweet 10 year old Shih Tzu.boy who lost his home because after having him 10 years, his owners decided he is not good around their kids. He did not deserve to be given up on just because he is aging. Additionally they allowed him to become very overweight which could definitely contribute to his sometimes grumpy mood. We have not observed any bad behavior here at the rescue. He is really a nice dog, easy to have around and not at all demanding. He is in good health, fully vetted and ready for a new home and a Weight Watchers membership. It is imperative that his new Adopter keeps him on a diet to help him reduce his weight. He's clearly not comfortable how he is. He would love the yard to run around in as well as to bask in the sun. He may need some forced walking to help with retrieving the waistline he once enjoyed. according to his former owners, Clyde is housetrained. Clyde is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will require brushing and professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Clydes's Adoption fee is $275 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee. All dogs also leave with a new collar and or harness and leash as well as a gift bag which includes among other things, a starter bag of the quality kibble that is being fed at the rescue. Adoption fees also allow us the ability to put funds towards the next homeless or unwanted dog in need of rescue!

Story
Wrigley is an adorable five-year-old male Shih Tzu. He is very loyal and devoted to his person. He is generally well behaved, but would do best with either no other dogs or possibly a female dog. He gets a little bit possessive sometimes as he is very devoted to his master. He is very obedient and knows basic command commands. He does need an owner with some dog experience and a fairly firm hand. He will try to take advantage in some situations. Mainly with being protective of his owner, when other people come into the house. He is fairly well house trained, but will need a little tuning up. He is a personal favorite of mine, the rescue owner. Wrigley is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Wrigley’s adoption fee is $400 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.

Story
Lincoln is a super friendly Gold and white Shih Tzu boy and is about 2 years old. He walks well on a leash and is eager to please but he still needs to learn most of the basic commands. He’s excellent to groom and rides well in a car. He gets along with all of the other dogs and has the typical easygoing temperament a Shih Tzu is best known for. He loves everyone he meets and loves to lounge around between meals and playtime. He gives great kisses and seeks attention and affection. Lincoln weighs 19 lbs but could stand to lose a little weight. I’m Like many of our rescue dogs, we are not sure how well housetrained Lincoln is. But with gentle persuasion, some consistency, structure and praise he should be easy to train. Lincoln is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Lincoln’s adoption fee is $400 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.

Story
Drake is a sweet, 6 year old Shih Tzu mix boy who came from some pretty rough conditions. He lost some of his eyesight before he came to us but once he gets acclimated with his new environment he does amazingly well. He’s quiet, not a barker, and very laid back. He is potty trained and gets along with other dogs but is timid with assertive dogs so would be best off alone or with a similar personality. He is a bit overweight but is on a diet and currently weighs 18 lbs with a few more to go. Drake is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Drake’s adoption fee is $250 This fee includes at least one health exam at our veterinarian while in our care, altering, all vaccinations including rabies (as permitted by age), a pre-adoption professional grooming and a microchip with lifetime membership that never will cost you a fee.
