Story
We don’t know Lucy's exact birthday or age since her original owner never gave us or the foster - she had placed an ad about her on Facebook - Lucy’s (previously named Sassy) records. However, when we took her to the vet, they estimated that she was about a year old at the time - she's around nine now but certainly does look/act like it. She has no health issues, is spayed, and is a perfectly energetic dog. She's very affectionate, playful, alert, and a little bratty. She loves going on walks and toys, isn’t too fond of going on drives or baths, & a major “People Poochie.” She CAN be aggressive/jealous towards other dogs, so no roommates for her! We’re looking for a new forever home for her because, unfortunately, between work (we all work), we don’t have the time to give her the proper attention and physical activity she needs. We want to make sure she gets the best quality of life, and being stuck in the house all day isn’t fair for her.

Story
  There is a very good reason why this adorable, beautiful Shih Tzu has been at the rescue for over 5 years. Geoffrey David is a special boy, who needs a special person to welcome him into their life. His behavior suggests he was abused from a very early age. When he arrived, this young boy was very untrusting and a defensive biter. After many years of receiving consistent love, care, and compassion, and watching the other dogs enjoy human attention and affection, Geoffrey David has made absolutely remarkable improvements.             Geoffrey David is now happy, relaxed, and seeks out attention and petting.  He has become much more animated and loves to play with toys. He also enjoys the company of other nice dogs and gets along very well in a group. Geoffrey David still does not want to be picked up, held, or go on a leash, but this will probably also change with more time. When he has reached his limits of petting, he usually lets you know with a little growl, or just walks away.             Geoffrey David is about 9 years old and about 15 pounds. His new home should have a fenced yard.  Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Geoffrey David’s wonderful self continue to emerge. Are you the patient, experienced, and compassionate person he has been waiting for?  If so, please put in an application today.December 13, 2024, 6:12 pm

Story
Life is one big party for Lexi and Missy, and they can’t wait for a new family to join in. Lexi and Missy are extremely friendly, sweet, and happy, young girls, full of energy and love. They get along incredibly well and love to romp in the yard together and, especially, play fetch. Lexi and Missy adore human attention and affection, love to cuddle, play silly hand games, and give the sweetest, little kisses. Their exuberant spirits are contagious, and it’s almost impossible not to smile and have fun when with them.     Lexi is a Shih Tzu mix, about 4  years old and 13 pounds. Missy is a Shih Tzu, about 3 years old and 14 pounds. They have learned to walk on leashes, but, since they love to run and play, it would be preferable for their new home to have a fenced yard. If you believe you are a great match for Lexi and Missy, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Lexi and Missy enjoying life. They are truly a terrific twosome!December 17, 2024, 10:46 am

Story
  It’s just not right that these absolutely wonderful ladies have been at the rescue for many, many years, most of their lives. Sasha and Scarlett are certainly a unique pair, with their awesome, one of a kind looks, matched by their big, fun, personalities. They are very friendly, sweet, happy girls, with lots of energy, who love to be with people. They enjoy cuddly lap time, lots of affection, leash walks, romping on the yard, belly rubs for Scarlett, and a little toy playing for Sasha.  They are easy to walk together on leashes, and they get along with other dogs.             Sasha (brown and grey, about 11 years old) is the mother of Scarlett (black and white, about 10 years old), both Shih Tzu/Terrier mixes. They are currently somewhat overweight, but should be at proper weight about 14 pounds for Sasha, and 17 pounds for Scarlett. They have been bypassed year after year for our more classic Shih Tzus. It’s hard enough to adopt pairs, especially mixes, but Sasha and Scarlett have a special bond, and we will keep them together for their senior years ahead. If you believe you are the special person they have been waiting for, please put in an application today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Sasha and Scarlett showing off all their fantastic qualities. You will not find a more beautiful pair that will fill your home with lots of love and joy. December 9, 2024, 6:29 pm
