Please contact Constance (connibouchard@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Rescued dogBiographyImportant InformationPlease read!If you are interested in me after reading about me, please visit my site, http://www.breederadoptions.org and follow the instructions. The majority of the dogs we rescue, mostly breeder dogs, have lived their entire lives in less-than-ideal conditions so will need to be socialized, house and leash trained. Most have never lived in a house, walked on a leash, had a treat or sat in a lap. For many of them, their feet have never touched the ground after living for years on wire until they arrive at our main facility where they are evaluated, groomed and given vet care.Most of these dogs are not socialized and need to be cornered to be picked up, so are not suitable for people with physical disabilities or suffer from PTSD. They need folks who will make them the center of their world and help them learn to trust before even attempting to train. Please do not apply if you do not meet the requirements of the dogs we rescue. However, they will learn with time, love, patience and most of all, commitment. You must have an ample supply of all of these to reap the rewards of watching these very special dogs become your wonderful companion. We state any known health issues, all are altered unless there is a medical reason not to, which we will advise, any known medical issues addressed, are microchipped, are UTD on all vaccines and have been checked out by at least one veterinarian, usually two. We do not guarantee the health of any of our rescued dogs.The dogs we rescue have lived with other dogs all of their lives and most get along with other dogs. We state if they are dog aggressive. We require a permanent, full-time parent. That means you must be able to spend the majority of your time with your new companion to socialize and train. We do not, under any circumstances, place them in homes with young children as they have not been exposed to children and we do not know how they will react.Please do not waste your time or ours if you are not prepared to adopt within 2 weeks and you are not willing to pick the dog up at its location.Hi! My name is Portia, and I am a beautiful Shih Tzu girl who was born 3/18/22, and I weigh 9 pounds. A sibling to learn from and play with would be ideal.If you have been waiting for a gorgeous Shih Tzu, please ask for me on your application to http://www.breederadoptions.org.Love, Portia 072024-43  March 9, 2025, 12:29 am

Story
SNUGGLER. LOVER. YOUNG-AT-HEART. Coach found himself at the county shelter as a senior in rough shape. He had a terrible upper respiratory infection that turned into severe pneumonia. When we saw he was listed for euthanasia, we stepped in to save him and brought him to the emergency room. After receiving intensive care, including oxygen, he spent weeks recuperating under the watchful eye of our medical team and staff. Now fully recovered, Coach walks politely on leash as he gets his neighborhood strolls in. He can also be left alone in his crate while you run errands but will snuggle up with you as soon as you come home. Coach shows his playful side once he’s given a chance to warm up. Once he trusts you, he’ll love you forever. He even loves playing with dogs of his size or smaller. This young-at-heart senior enjoys going to new places, though he is more cautious with new people. Coach’s adoption fee includes his completed veterinary exams, vaccines, neuter and microchip. Apply now to meet your new favorite Velcro-dog that just loves to be loved and to love YOU!

Story
Oreo is a handsome black and white purebred Shih Tzu. He is a sweet and loving as he can be. He absolutely LOVES balls (playing fetch) and water! He is very fun to play with and be around. He really needs a home with a yard. He does not love being around a lot of other dogs particularly dominant male dogs. He is good on walks and good in the car. We do not recommend that Oreo is in a home with small children as he does not like to be cuddled and schmoozed. He is an independent kind of guy. Oreo loves water and playing in the pool. He is loving and playful and loves toys and long walks. He is very well-behaved inside or out. Oreo is approximately four years old and weighs about 14 pounds. Oreo is a coated dog (hair grows continuously) and will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. Oreo's adoption fee is $350 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! If you would like to be considered to for this adoption or any of our amazing rescues, please fill out the application with the help of this link. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AZST/Dog. We review each application carefully. Please understand that sometimes we get numerous applications for specific dogs and as a volunteer-based rescue, we do not always have the time to respond to each one. We do our best to choose the most suitable home for each dog based on their specific personality and needs.
