Story
One of these ears is not like the other...Vincent Van Go-Go is a gorgeous male Shih Tzu. He is 8-years old, and overweight at 16-pounds. When he was picked up as a stray, he was very matted. Once trimmed, it became evident that he has one beautiful blue eye. He also had a "fake ear. His left ear canal is normal, but he has no ear flap on that side. It makes him unique and special, and it doesn't affect his hearing. When his hair grows back, you can even let him grow a new "fake ear if you prefer. No one will even notice. :) Vince likes other dogs and calm people. He is a food hound, and will need to be fed separately from any other pets. Maybe we should have named him Hoover?? Vince also cries for attention in the cutest of ways. He sounds like a mix of a baby and a small cat. It is very endearing. Vince likes cars, walks, and is okay in a crate. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $275. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives. We are located in Bloomington, IL We do not ship, you would need to travel to pick up your babies if you live out of state.

This little rascal is full of life and energy, she loves to get the zoomies! Blanche gets along great with other dogs and cannot wait to find a home of her own.

Story
Rudi Tooty fresh and fruity! She js an 8-year-old, 10-pound Shihpoo (Shih Tzu/poodle mix). Just look at this beauty! That gaze, that golden curly hair, those toofers. Are you swooning yet?? Rudi was found running in a field. She was so matted that her legs were stuck together. But, my goodness is she proof of a dog's resilience. Rudi loves everyone: big people, little people, barky people (er dogs). She enjoys car rides and walks, cuddles, and late nights under the stars...pretty much whatever. Rudi may bark to alert you to an intruder, but isn't a loud mouth. Bonus, she doesn't shed, so regular grooming will keep her beautiful, and your house fur free. Woot! Apply for her today! Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog Her minimum adoption donation amount is $275. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.
