Story
Hello, my name is: Bailey... but that`s Mrs. Bailey to you!DOB: 10/12/2013Sex/Breed: Spayed female Shih TzuWeight: 8.1 lbsRescued From: Owner surrenderBailey is the old lady that lives down the street and thinks she can do whatever she wants because she has lived longer than you. She’s always dressed to the nines, accessorized, and wearing bright pink lipstick. The kids on the street think she’s mean because she yells at them for riding their bikes in front of her house. If you take the time to get to know her at her pace, you’ll learn she is a real sweetie... but don’t cross her or she’ll give you the business. Bailey is looking for an experienced family with a quiet home to give her the princess treatment through her golden years and put up with her spiciness. She prefers to do things on her own terms and doesn’t hesitate to show you when she doesn’t like something. Bailey hasn’t gotten into anything she shouldn’t in her foster home, likes to go for walks and does well on leash, and is an expert snuggler. She seems house trained and doesn’t ask for very much. All this old broad needs is a soft place to land and live out her life. Being crated is beneath her, but she is pretty house-trained if she’s let out often. She sleeps soundly through the night, most happy in a bed or on the couch. Treats can be used as bribes. Oh, and she’s not a huge fan of other pets – sharing attention is also beneath her.Anyone looking for a crotchety old lady dog to fill your lap? All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Miles, a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a sprinkle of Maltese magic, and enough personality to keep you entertained for years. This little man is looking for his chill kingdom—a low-key home where fewer furry roommates roam, and his occasional "grumpy pants" moments are respected. If he gives a little growl, don’t worry—that’s just his way of saying, “Not right now, thanks.” Miles doesn’t do pickups unless he requests it; everything’s on his terms, and that’s part of his charm.The ideal sidekick? A sweet, playful female dog who understands and respects boundaries. Miles thrives on routine and is house-trained as long as you keep him on a schedule. He's fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and even had a dental—so his pearly whites are just as charming as his personality.Once a severely matted stray, Miles was scooped up by Peyton's Place Animal Rescue, and he’s since revealed his total softie side. He's the king of cuddles—when he’s ready. His favorite snooze spot? Curled up at the foot of your bed, where he can keep watch. Oh, and did we mention his diva streak? Miles demands to be carried up and down stairs, and trust us—he'll unleash his inner rockstar if you don’t oblige.Despite his quirks, Miles is an absolute sweetheart who just wants a cozy home where he can rule in comfort. Can you offer this spunky senior the royal treatment he deserves? Apply now and meet the most lovable diva around!   ##2207857##

Story
Shadow’s a 2yo 6lb Shih Tzu mix. He’s dog, cat and kid 6+ friendly. He’s house trained when kept on a schedule and is crate trained. He’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. He is a known escape artist so will really need to watch him in a yard and needs work on leash walking. He likes playing with toy, especially toys that he can chew on or play tug of war with. He loves to be with his people to cuddle and play/wrestle with other small dogs. He still has a lot of puppy energy. He’s very good with being bathed/groomed/getting nails clipped. Shadow’s foster requires he have another young playful small dog in the home, get daily exercise to help with all his energy and help stimulate him mentally, be allowed to be with his people as much as possible including sleeping in bed with them along with people who are on board to show leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirements, please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Shadow’s neutered, vaccinated, hw negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org
