Story
Teddy was born on 11/30/23. I got him about six months ago. My friend had passed away and I then received him. He is considered a Lavender Shih Tuz. He is also imperial. That means he will stay small. He weights 11 pounds. He is a wonderful dog. Very handsome and friendly. He follows me every where I go. The problem is I have two senior dogs and he gets to rough with them. He is leash trained. He uses a doggy door. He should be adopted as an only dog or with larger dogs. It would be nice if you stayed home with him. A senior citizen would be nice to have him. Please ask any questions you have.

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

Lily is a sweet girl who is 16 years old. She loves to be petted and snuggled. She does sleep a lot. We took her in 15 months ago because a friend needed to go back to work full time after her husband had past away. She is House broken but does need assistance getting outside. I work full time and my wife will no longer be able to take care of her.

Story
Peanut, a thirteen-year-old, 11-pound Shih Tzu mix, is a mellow senior with a heart full of calm companionship. This laid-back little fellow enjoys being near people but isn’t one to demand constant attention. Peanut is perfectly content exploring a yard at his own pace, pausing to “water” his surroundings, and showing little concern for who might be nearby. He’s not particularly interested in toys or treats but delights in quiet moments and gentle affection. Peanut is easygoing around other dogs, neither reactive nor eager to engage. He allows polite greetings but prefers to do his own thing, making him a peaceful addition to a home with other pets. He’s also completely comfortable with being touched and handled, including sensitive spots like his paws and tail, making him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a relaxed and low-maintenance furry friend. Peanut is a Guardian Angel dog with an adoption fee of $225. Guardian Angel dogs are highly desirable and command an increased adoption fee. This higher fee is used to defray the costs of caring for rescues with special needs, either medical or behavioral, or for those who are with us for unusually long periods of time. In this way our Guardian Angels directly help our other rescues! Adoption fees include spaying/neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, and a free wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Adoption hours are Thursday-Saturday from 11:00 am-4:00 pm by appointment by calling 602-971-1334.

Story
Abu is 18 years old but still vibrant for his age. He is so adorable and has so much love to give. He is potty-trained; however, he is now blind and deaf as he is an older dog. But he still roams independently around the house and is adventurous. Our mom has dementia now, and I feel that Abu is being neglected and needs a good, loving home to get more playtime.
