Story
This sweet shih tzu was found as a stray in nightmarish condition. Emaciated, hairless, infested with parasites, and nearly blind, we took her into our care to make her more comfortable. After months of love and dozens of medications, this sweet pup is finally ready for her forever home. While she may always have limitations with her vision, and will require long term eye drops, she quickly learns a new environment and knows where her people are. This pup would benefit from a quiet home where people are around all the time. If this sweet baby sounds like your match, apply today!

Story
Meet Selena! This teeny tiny little 9lb girl has completely stolen our hearts. She is the ultimate snuggler, but also very playful. She gets along great with both big and small dogs and even cats. She's active and loves to run but is also happy to be in a lap. She's got a good routine for going potty outside and had only had a couple accidents inside. She does try to let you know when she has to go out. She would like someone who is home most of the time, as she doesn't love being crated or without her people but is still working on it. She came to us not knowing how to walk on a leash and is also learning that, so a fenced yard would be a great bonus for her. Selena looks like a shih tzu/maltese mix and is just 9lbs of pure joy. She's spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. She is in Tampa and ready for her forever home. Her adoption fee is $400 and she is estimated at 2 years old. www.love4pawsfl.org/adoption-process

Hiiiiiiii!!!! My name is Nicholas and I am an 8 year old 8 lb shih tzu boy looking for my forever family and home. As you can see from one of my pictures I am a total fuzz ball ...but I had to be shaved because I was sooooo severely matted. But no worries...my beautiful locks will grow back and foster mommy says I will be the talk of the town once they do. Right now she's working of fattening me up since I'm a bit emaciated ---and let me tell you...Iam enjoying the fatteninng up process- I LOVE FOOD! I also love people and dogs and am quite a laid back type of dude with lots of love to give. If you think I'd be happy with you and you with me please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $325.00

Story
Howdy folks...my name is Abby and I am a 13 year old 11 lb shih tzu girl looking for a quiet place to spend my golden years. Sadly my human passed away and her kids had no interest in opening their home to me. Instead they took me to the local animal shelter and requested me to be euthanized. The vets at the facility refused to do so since my only issue is that I am a SENIOR---and SENIORS NEED LOVE TOO...and a second chance at life...and that''s what the girls at FCCR have promised me! Once Karena got me on the grooming table and cleaned me all up I was all smiles and happy tails again. I actually love to be around people and other pups...I won't be joining in the lizard chase running around the backyard but you can be sure I will be walking around to make sure my pals don't cause too much raucous. If you're interested in openig your heart and home to me please fill out an application at www.floridacockerescue.org . I promise to be a good girl and love you forever. ADOPTION FEE: $225.00
