Story
I'm taking over care for my 101 yr old mother, Dog is playful and active, but play level is high and dog is very passionate aboyt playing tug of war5 and fetching, but he's aggressive sometimes his claws and teeth contact the skin, not biting, just playing. My mother is frail and I fear Burly could hurt her. He's great with kids, loves going for walks, house trained. Dog obtained from homeless person who needed help, was supposed to be a temporary arrangement, but the person still can't take the dog. Kennel, food, toys and treats will be included.

Story
Everyone say hi to Arfie, a 5 year old 30 lb shih tzu boy. Arfie's foster mom says he's the best dog she's ever fostered - he's that sweet and lovable! 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 has yet to meet a person he doesn't wag his little tail at. Arfie is in need of a home that will take him on walks and give him the opportunity to shed some much need pounds. Arfie has a history of seizures when he was with his previous owner but since we have had him on medication (about $40/month), he has not had a single one. If interested in adopting this darling boy please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $300.00

Story
Hola Amigos! It's me Rosa---I am an 8 year old / 8 lb little shih tzu girl in search of my forever home. I came from a not so great place called the " shelter" where some kind folks realized I was scared to death of the noise and smells and.....oh well --you get the picture. Thankfully the girls at FCCR came to my rescue and now I am in a loving foster home until my forever home is identified. Foster mommy says I am a super sweet little girl and my "funny walk" ( due to a long ago unattended injury ) makes me all the more cuter- it certainly doesn't stop me from anything ..except maybe jumping on furniture or the front seat of her car---I need assistance with that! I get along great with other dogs and cats , but I am happiest when my human is around and I can give and receive lots of snuggles. If interested in making me part of your family please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $350.00

Hello everyone- my name is Molly and I am a 10 year young 9 lb shih tzu girl in search of a new home. Sadly my owner passed away and no family member stepped up to take me in... so I was whisked away to the shelter. Because I have some vision impairment ( I can see enough to make my way to the treats stash and my comfy beds etc) I was overlooked at the shelter and then FCCR came to my rescue....yayyyyy!!!!!!! Now I am with a foster mommy that loves me and takes really good care of me and has promised to find me just the right home. I am a very sweet and velcro little girl so I'd prefer to be YOUR center of attention LOL. I enjoy the company of other pups and I am very curious about their toys since every so often I will take one for my own playtime----but it's all ok----sharing is caring after all. If you'd like to make me part of your forever family please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $295.00

Hi everybody! It's me Little Debbie the shih tzu ...not to be mistaken with Little Debbie the dessert cupcake...although foster mommy says I am just as sweet! I'm 8 years young and weigh 9 lbs so I am as my name says ...little. I love being around people and I am fine with other dogs too...since foster mommy doesn't have cats we are not sure whether I like them, am afraid of them, or plain don't care either way LOL. I am a totally relaxed little lady who is happiest when I am being doted on and spoiled....and yes foster mommy has indulged me a bit but ...shhhh... that's our little secret - after all who can resist my soulful eyes, good house manners and cute smile? If interested in adopting me and making me part of your forever family please fill out an application at www.floridacockerrescue.org ADOPTION FEE: $335.00
