Story
Joy is a 11 year old Shihtzu/Pomeranian. She loves to be around people, but will tolerate other dogs. She is potty trained and is okay alone at home for up to 8 hours. Joy has playful bursts of energy, but tires out fairly quick. She is capable of keeping herself occupied for extended periods of time. She doesn't require long walks, she mainly only goes outside to use the bathroom. We got her from a pet store in 2013 but have to let her go due to my mom’s recent diagnosis. We’re looking for a loving home for Joy so she can continue to be treated with the love and care she deserves!

We got the call about an abanded family of little dogs here in Mexico. We went to the abandoned property and found a Mom and Dad in terrible shape and dead babies. Fred was a real trooper. He had to have all his fur cut off due to the matted insect infested hair and skin infections. He is now a loving funny little guy looking for love.  ##2050257##

Story
GiGi is a female 1 year old purebred Shih Tzu who was surrendered to us completely matted by a backyard breeder. They said she had one litter and she let her puppies pass so they didn't want her anymore. First of all, too young and second why? GiGi loves to snuggle and will hug you if in your arms next to your heart and neck. She gets along well with other dogs. She has been groomed due to the horrible matting that she had. She is a happy go lucky girl that just needs a home where you will dote on her and she only weighs about 10 lbs. GiGi will be spayed, is current on shots, deworming and Advantix.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Friends after I heard this story my heart fell for this precious 4 yr old Papillion/Pomeranian mix.  His owner lives in TJ Mexico. Unfortunately, when she got married they put the dog out on their patio. He lived there alone for over a year until he became desperate and stressed.  Eventually the owner reached out to a friendo of mine who reached out to me. My friend said, he is so sweet and playful. He needs to gain confidence, so he needs a patient family that can give him time to decompress and trust. If the family has another playful dog his size that wouldbe a plus. Of course I couldn't say no to this precious boy. I named him Boe and took him under TLC K9 Rescue's wings.  Friends meet our newly dubbed Boe. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 I have to tell you ever since he has been with his loving foster family Boe, has truly come out of his shell!!! He loves children, he's fantastic with other dogs and loves going on his walks. Boe is potty trained, crate trained and is doing great with leash training. Oh and he even likes cats. Boe is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.   If you would like to adopt  Boe, that would be a blessing for him. 's d.  If you live in California, Escondido, San Diego or surrounding areas have a home with a yard and a minimum of a 6-foot fence and would love to adopt Boe, please complete our adoption application at tlck9rescue.org  He's a good boy, oh so happy since he's been with his foster family and so very playful. Please give Boe a 2nd chance at life.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 6, 2024, 1:34 pm
