Story
Everyone say hi to Arfie, a 8 year old 28 lb shih tzu boy. Yes you read that right, Arfie weighs 28 lbs and is in need of a home that will take him on walks and give him the opportunity to shed some much needed pounds---with that said this little boy is an " absolute gentleman" according to his foster mom. Arfie came to us after his elderly owner was unable to care for him longer due to her own personal issues----Arfie has come a long way from intake when he was all of 39lbs!!! He just wants to please everyone, has excellent house manners and deserves a chance at a great life in a loving home. He gets along with EVERYONE and is a soft and kind hearted soul....he has yet to meet a person he doesn't wag his little tail at and asks to say hello to. Arfie has a history of seizures and is on medication where it controlled now that he has been seen and treated for it by our veterinary team. He also is allergic to chicken and chicken by-products but is doing great on a diet of salmon and sweet potato kibble which is sold over the counter. If interested in adopting this darling boy please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $300.00

Meet Iris – A Gentle 12-Year-Old Shih Tzu Looking for a Quiet, Loving Home Iris has been through a lot in the past year. She first lost her mom, and now her dad can no longer care for her. At 12 years old and only 10.5 lbs, this sweet senior girl deserves stability, peace, and a forever home where she can finally feel safe again. Although she has a sister, Iris does best as the only dog. She’s quiet, calm, and a bit reserved at first—but once she trusts you, she becomes a gentle, loyal little companion who simply enjoys being near her person. About Iris Breed: Shih Tzu Age: 12 Weight: 10.5 lbs Personality: Quiet, sweet, gentle, and sensitive Ideal Home: Retired couple or a single adult seeking a calm companion Health: Up to date on all vetting & recently had a dental cleaning — she’s healthy and ready for her next chapter! What She Loves Cozy dog beds Peaceful routines Safe hiding spots like under furniture Calm environments with gentle, patient humans Iris doesn’t ask for much—just love, kindness, and a soft place to land. She will thrive in a quiet home where she can feel secure and cherished. Her adoption fee is $300.
