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  December 15, 2024, 10:51 am

Story
**This is a courtesy listing for Frosted Faces, Vintage Paws Animal Rescue** He's looking, smelling, feeling like a million bucks... say hello to Matt-A-Millon! Matt-A-Million is aptly named, because when he was first rescued, he was covered in about a million matts. Check out the "before" picture of Matt; can you BELIEVE the condition this little guy was in?! He was found wandering as a stray, filthy and matted. He was fortunately taken in by a kind samaritan who immediately took him to their groomers and vet, then brought him to rescue. We can't imagine how long Matt was neglected to be in this condition. But we do know that he does not hold on to his past, however bad it must have been. Matt is full of love and friendliness. He is SO happy to be looking and feeling like a million bucks now! Matt is social and always up for meeting a new person, or another dog. He is leash-trained and already knows "sit" for a treat. This happy little boy is energetic and social and ready to move forward with his forever life. Coud YOU be the happy ending to Matt-A-Million's story?! Matt is estimated at one-and-a-half-years-old and weighs around 20 pounds. For more information or to schedule a meet and greet, please call or text Linda at: 602-586-6591. Matt's adoption fee includes neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchip.December 28, 2024, 11:22 pm
