Story
My human mom loved me my entire life...all 8 years, but recently things weren`t going well for her, and we were living in a car. She wanted a stable life for me and brought me to the shelter so I could find another family to love. I will admit I`m nervous here, but if you go slow and give me time...I might come sit in your lap. I`m not destructive, am smart and was allowed to get on the furniture. I enjoy the beach and playing. Sometimes I`ll bark at noises, so apartment or condo living might not be the best. Will you please give me a forever home?

Romulus

Shih Tzu Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)

Male, Adult
Tamarac, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Romulus is an energetic level 5 clinger. He is is a deeply emotional dog that loves attention and affection. He loves to play ball and there are few things he loves more than a long walk, being petted and chicken. He's 7 years old, and has the spunky attitude of dogs half his age. He's good with kids and doesn't mind interacting with them. He is fully house broken, and responds to basic commands ("sit", "bedtime", "walk", "eat", "outside") and is still teachable. His main takeaways are, he is highly territorial and protective of his primary caregiver, he will nip or bite if aggressively handled or yelled at (he strongly dislikes shouting), he is a bit of a picky eater and will refuse food not accompanied by his meat or vegetables.

Story
The dog was given to me through an acquaintance. Very active puppy, but he digs holes in my backyard not an aggressive dog. He jumps all over anyone that comes over not aggressively more playfully. I have a busy work schedule and just want him to be in a home where he gets more attention. I had him since he was a puppy. I was bottle feeding him.

Story
6 year old 13 pound male  Hubbard came to us from a local shelter 6 months ago.  He had been hit by a car at some point and has some old and healed fractures. He sometimes skips a bit on a back leg, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. The most significant injury was a spinal fracture that has healed. The surgeon didn’t want to rebreak and repair any of his old fractures because she feared destabilizing the spinal fracture and paralyzing him. He can walk fine, but the damage has left him unable to potty on his own. He needs his little bladder squeezed and poo just poos. He doesn’t mind a belly band and loves to walk around the yard and look like he’s marking his territory with nothing coming out We are sure there is a family out there who would love this amazing fluffy boy.  Some of these pictures are before he got shaved and then after his grooming we got to see his beautiful brindle stripes. H e was heartworm positive when we got him and he’s been fully treated. This is what is foster mom says about him: “He is quiet and inquisitive, loves pets, he doesn’t hang with the other dogs but seems to enjoy their company, feels like he had a hard life and is trying to get used to things being better loves to snuggle. He is such a sweet gentle soul. He has these eyes that look at you like he can’t believe it while he is getting pets &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143‍”If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the DRSF Online Adoption form.My adoption fee covers all my (prior) vet care (adopter receives vet records).  For more information refer to the DRSF Adoption Fee page.If you have any questions about adoption or want more info, you can email: info@dachshundrescuesouthflorida.comMarch 10, 2026, 1:24 pm
