Story
Shih Tzu DOB 12/18/19 14lbs Neutered/Microchipped UTD on vaccinations Current on flea/heartworm prevention Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY, it will answer most of your questions. If you are a perfect match, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Only complete & qualified applications will be considered/contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive for a meet and greet. We are a 100% foster-based rescue. Applications can be found here on our website. Hershey was a pretty shy boy when he first arrived. He was scared & not sure what the future was going to be. Well, he arrived at his foster home & was greeted by some furry friends who assured him it was going to be fabulous from here on out. He spent the first few weeks just watching. Watching the humans, watching the other dogs, & watching the household activities. Hershey has come a long way and now follows his foster mom everywhere. He will jump up on the recliner so his foster mom will hold him. He lays in the kitchen next to her feet. He loves his foster mom. He is still unsure of his foster dad but is getting better. In his new home, everyone will need to understand Hershey will need time to adjust so you will need patience. Hershey is still not accepting of the harness and leash so he will need a secure physically fenced yard. In time, his family can work on leash training, but it isn’t going to happen any time soon. He is a very good boy that doesn’t need to be crated & is always on his best behavior when his foster family is gone. He is not completely potty trained but taken out often, he doesn't have accidents. Hershey needs a low-key family that will allow him to bloom. He really needs another dog of similar size in the home already. He will lay and snuggle with his foster siblings around the home during the day and he cuddles with his 4 legged siblings on a comfy bed in his human fosters bedroom. Please apply if you have a nice slow-paced home for Hershey to join.

Story
Hi! My name is Gidget. I am a 9 year, lovable Shih Tzu looking for my forever home. I am spryand keep my foster mommy laughing. I will let her know when she is out of my sight, and I can't find her by barking and asking where she is. She is spoiling me by picking me up and down to get on the sofa, but I can do it myself. She is trying to teach me how to do steps up to the bed, but why should I when she is there to pick me up. I am blind in my right eye, but that does not stop me. I am good about scanning my environment to see where I need to go. I am working on potty training. I have went through some home changes recently so sometimes I forget to bark when I need to go out, but my foster mommy said I am doing good with my training. I walk well on a leash, and I love to go for car rides. I am a perfect companion dog. I don't pay any attention to the cats in my foster home, and I am good with my pack. I do let them know when they are too close to me and bothering me. They just back off and life is great again. My foster mommy says I would be good as an only dog too if that is what you are looking for. What am I looking for? A loving home that will let me be their shadow and cuddle with them. That is all I want.Gidget is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, had a heart worm test, on heartworm preventative, de-wormed, and microchipped. Gidget’s adoption fee is $325.00. Please go to our website aaprescue.org to learn about our adoption process.
