Available to foster or adopt!Breed: Shih Tzu / Pomeranian X DOB: 12/2016 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): tawny Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online foster application. Hi, I'm Bentley, a feisty and opinionated Shih Tzu / Pomeranian X in need of a new home. While I can be a bit bite-y, territorial and possessive of my resources, I'm also a sweet and affectionate pup who enjoys spending time with my people. I'm best-suited for an adult-only dog experienced home where I will be the center of attention. I enjoy treats and going for walks. I'm house and crate trained and will go to the door to be let out. I have a lot of love left to give and will make a great companion to the right person. If you think you can meet my needs, please fill out an online application to meet me.November 10, 2024, 5:59 pm

Story
Ben and Jerry came into the shelter together. We rescued them together.They are fostered together and doing well. Jerry is.a bit more dependent on Ben. These are fantastic pups. Housebroke, rarely bark, good listeners and great on walks. They are curious and playful and love toys. We would love to try to keep them together if possible. They are such a great team. They are only 1.3 years old and have proven to be pretty bombproof. Life will be amazing with both... All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION FRANNIE HAS FALLEN FOR PIRATE AND WANTS TO BE HIS FOREVER SISTER… THEY ARE A BONDED PAIR MEET MS. FRANNIE….and this petite, sweet little b/w, 9.7 lbs, 5 yr old, Shih Tzu munchkin is perfection! She is pint size but she has enough love to give an army! She was dumped in the North Central Shelter with four puppies! They were adorable but they looked nothing like her! Other rescues opted for the puppies, we took Mama. So glad we did! Frannie is super affectionate and loving and wants to be right with you. When you pick her up, she clings to you like she is hanging on for dear life. She has hidden energy and lets you see it once she is out and playing! When she plays, believe it or not she plays hard!! Yet, she will climb up to kiss a baby and is gentle as she can be. She is wonderful on a walk, usually does her business after a little while of exploring and is happy to greet strangers on the street! She is friendly with everyone…AND she has fallen for her foster roommate, Pirate!! Frannie and Pirate love for you to throw toys and Frannie will dance around but doesn’t know what to do with them! She’s also great eater and is very playful — but can also be shy at first and hide under the couch! When she hears “let’s go for a walk….” she is ready! Now that she has Pirate as her buddy, she doesn’t hide anymore! Frannie could go into almost any home but we have learned she would prefer a home where she can cuddle with another small dog AND she wants that dog to be PIRATE. She would be good with kids over 8 yrs old — maybe a little girl wants to dress her up! They are really so special and they are looking for a family and hopefully a yard to play with Pirate! Do Frannie and Pirate sound like they could be your next children? Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria.

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION PIRATE HAS FALLEN FOR HIS FOSTER ROOMIE, FRANNIE AND WANTS TO GO HOME WITH HER!!! MEET PIRATE…a one-eyed,tri color, 2 yr old, 12.20 lb absolutely adorable Shih Tzu X. Not sure if he is purebred or not, but it makes no difference to us. What we can tell you about this little guy is he was brought to the San Bernardino Shelter with his eye dangling and their best estimation was he was hit by a car and left on the side of the road. They got him to the vet and had his eye removed! AND…the vet did a really good job! We don’t know what his previous home was like, but they opted not to pick him up at the shelter when they heard about the fees they would have to pay. OMG their loss, our/your gain. Pirate is a precious soul! He’s young, soooooo affectionate, attentive, happy. He will sit on his hind legs and watch while you prepare his dinner…and he is a great eater! He LOVES his walks, belly rubs AND his foster roommate Frannie — not necessarily in that order!! The two of them played in the yard and she wasn’t quite as much of a player as he was but she caught up and didn’t want to stop! See the video and pics. Just cannot separate them!! Pirate waits for Frannie to get her food before he eats!!! Pirate likes to chase toys but doesn’t bring them back yet — she helps! They love to cuddle and kiss (with each other and you) and be right with you! They would love a yard to fun around in, each other and you! Would you bring an “arrrgh” Pirate and a sweet Frannie to live and love in your home? They are waiting!! Our website is updated daily.

Story
Hi there! I’m Lenny, a sweet 7-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart full of love. I may be totally blind, but my spirit shines bright! Weighing 14 lbs, I love my leash walks and enjoy exploring the world through my other senses. I need a home where I can feel safe, as I can get anxious when alone. I’m still learning to be housebroken and need to wear a diaper, but with your patience, I know I can thrive! I don’t wear a halo and can’t do stairs, but I promise to fill your life with cuddles and joy. If you’re looking for a furry friend to share your heart with, don't look further! Let’s make my wish for a forever home come true! 🐾❤️

Story
PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET DANDELION….”Dandi” to his friends. This precious baby, who was born on 5/27/2024, is a white, presently 5 months old and 7-8 lbs, purebred Shih Tzu. His human mom is beside herself because she doesn’t feel her home is the right fit for Dandi. She has two cats, and even though Dandi wants to play with them, they are not having it. Since Dandi is only a puppy…she feels he needs the right environment and lifestyle to set him up for success and one that he will thrive in, and so she is counting on us to find that home for him. That being said….. Dandi is very, very friendly; loves other dogs, people, kids, cats, even leaves flying in the wind! As all puppies are, he is curious and ready to experience the world! People have often complimented him on his confidence and bravery as he loves BIG dogs! Zero aggression, just assumes everyone is his friend and doesn’t pick up on a hiss or a growl! Gives kisses, loves to play with toys, steals socks (will make you a better housekeeper!). His lack of focus is difficult for his first time pet owner family. The ideal home for Dandi would be one with another active, confident dog — big or little — who can show him the ropes as he learns how to be a good playmate. Gentle kids and a backyard to give him a place to exercise and blow off some of his puppy energy would be perfect! Regardless, he definitely needs attentive owners ready to commit to basic training to help him become the wonderful puppy we know he is. AND believe it or not…Dandi knows commands like sit, lay down, come, wait, leave it, cross (the street) and “be free” released to exit his crate! My dogs don’t even know all those commands! He’s working on potty training and doing really well. He is crate trained. At the end of the day, Dandi needs a home that will nurture and bring out the best in him. Training is essential, as few puppies come with a manual — that manual is YOU! If you have the right tools and temperament and you are looking for a wonderful puppy…look no more. Dandi is waiting.

Story
Meet Khaleesi, a gentle soul with a heart of gold! Initially shy and reserved, this sweet pup warms up beautifully once she feels comfortable. Khaleesi walks like a dream on a leash, making her the perfect companion for leisurely strolls. Khaleesi is currently be cared for in a foster home so it would be best to set up a meet and great if you would like to see if you hit it off. While she thrives in a calm environment, she would be happiest in a home with only adults, where she can truly shine without the hustle and bustle of kids. If there are other dogs in the household, Khaleesi would appreciate a few meet-and-greets to ensure a smooth transition. With a little patience and love, she’ll prove to be a loyal and affectionate friend. Give Khaleesi the chance to be part of your family, and she’ll fill your life with sweetness and joy!
