Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Teddy & Bear Sugar and Spice and everything nice. These adorable 8-month-old Shih Tzu mixes are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together. Teddy and Bear share a special connection and truly thrive when they’re side by side — playing, cuddling, and exploring the world together.   Bear is sugar, sweet as can be. Teddy is spice, playful and inquisitive. Bear does have a cherry eye, and surgery to correct it will be included as part of his adoption package. ❤️ Once healed, he’ll be feeling his very best!   Both boys love running around the yard, chasing each other, and playing fetch with their toys. They’re big fans of chew bones and will happily entertain themselves — but their absolute favorite place to be is in your arms soaking up cuddles.   They can be shy and a bit skittish at first, but they’re improving every single day. Teddy seems to be just a little more outgoing, while Bear follows his lead. With patience and love, they continue to blossom into the sweetest little companions.   They’re house and pee pad trained. They’re very gentle, love giving kisses, and they would do well with kind, respectful children.   If you’re ready to open your heart and home to double the love, Teddy and Bear are ready to meet you.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 23, 2026, 8:55 am

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi… I’m Rudy 🐾🤍 I’m a 14-year-old Shih Tzu mix and a proud little old lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I’ve been through a lot in my life, but you’d never know it by how much love I still have to give 💕 I absolutely love being close to my people—whether that’s hanging out while you work, resting near your bed, or snuggling up for some quiet time. I’m a laid-back girl who enjoys the simple things: cozy blankets, comfy beds, gentle walks, and lots of love 🥹 Now, I’ll be honest… I do have a little bit of sass. I’ll let you know (with a tiny grumpy growl) when I’ve had enough pets or don’t want to be picked up. I’ve never nipped—I just like my boundaries respected like the classy lady I am 😌 I’m potty trained, leash trained, and very well-behaved in the house. I get along with other dogs but mostly prefer to do my own thing—no rough play for me, please! Calm companions are best. My dream home 🏡: * A quiet, calm home * Someone who is home often (I love being near my people 💛) * Older kids (10+) who understand my boundaries * A cozy space filled with soft beds and blankets * A relaxed environment where I can enjoy my golden years I’ve come a long way since my rough start, and I’m finally getting the love and care I deserve. Now I’m just looking for a forever home to spend my days feeling safe, comfortable, and cherished 💖 Love, Rudy 🐾 Adoption FEE: $150 which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines.

Story
I am looking for help to re-home my 11 year old Shih Tzu. I have been her only owner since she was about 18 months old when I got her from a pound. When I got her, I had a job where she could come to the office with me which she did for approximately four years. We then moved to a different state and luckily, I could still work remotely for the next 5 years. We have moved again and I now have had to go back to work in person with pretty long hours most days of the week. Gloria is potty trained but without me home is having accidents i believe is due to anxiety from me not being home with her. She needs to be with someone who will either be at home with her, or be able to take her with them. She does well at home outside of a crate for several hours but not all day and has severe anxiety with crates. She has had all teeth removed and eats wet food. She does not have any health problems other than a couple of benign small cysts on her leg. She is very sweet. And loves to snuggle.

Drammie arrived yesterday after vetting 4/16. She is doing great! Good with other dogs, likes to play with toys. Loves people, wants to be a lap dog. Crates ok, pad and house trained, leash work just a bit more! She is calm in the house, doesnt like when I leave and fusses a bit then calms down. She would be great for a retired person. Loves to stick close to you outdoors too!! Currently fostered in Bradenton. Apps can be found at ewenityfarmsbch.com.
