Shih Pom Shermie came to us from a breeder where he was relinquished by no fault of his own. This is a nice boy who is good with other dogs & with people. He is very sweet but would benefit from some basic obedience and confidence building. His birth date is 07/03/24 and he currently weighs 6.64#.He has been vet. checked, neutered, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol. His adoption donation is $600 and needs to be cash, certified check, money order or a debit/credit card. There is a 3% processing fee when using a debit/credit card. Please note that any additional funding collected for this pet goes back into our medical acct. to provide for other dogs in need. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with his forever home. ##2279714##

Story
Meet Junior! He is a full bred Shih Szu who is 6 years old and will be 7 on April 20th. I have had junior for the last 6 years and he has brought so much happiness to my life. It is extremely difficult for me to give him up but with my busy schedule it's been hard for me to care for him the way he should be. Ideally, whoever adopts him should spend most their time at home as June has separation anxiety. He has a big personality that is very apparent from the time you meet him. He truly is the best. Very cuddly and is used to sleeping in bed with me.

Story
Benji is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of potential. He can be incredibly friendly, sweet, and loving, but sometimes his excitement gets the better of him, and he needs help learning when to settle down. Benji thrives in calm, adult-only environments where he can feel safe and supported. With patience, love, and structure, Benji’s true personality will shine, making him the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a dog with a little spunk and a lot of heart. Benji might do okay with other dogs or cats -- we will have a meet & greet to be sure.

He’s great with other small dogs and thrives on human companionship, always ready to curl up beside you or follow you wherever you go. Boomer deserves someone who will cherish him forever and never let him feel unwanted again.

Story
Alumni Super Sweet Senior, Mickey Seeking A Forever Home! Poor Mickey! Through no fault of his own he has had at least 4 homes! We found him in 2016 at a community free access shelter at the height of the canine flu! Not only was that a strike against bim but he had broken toes and was next in line to the euth room. We got him our in the nick of time. We covered his medical care. He improved, and healed and landed a lovely new Mom. Sadly Coved him and his mom passed. The family sent Mickey to live with a family friend that adored him. Sadly, his new Mom fell ill and needed to relinquish him to us. No Micky is on the hunt for a forever family that won't let him down. Mickey is a very gentle boy that loves everyone. He is pretty quiet, happy to take long naps in between wandering around the yard, sitting on a deck or taking a walk. He is also happy to nap with you and the family cat! He is quiet and always hoping yummy food might drop his way. He gets along with everyone. He was pee pad trained which might be helpful. We estimate he is 14ish.. He is a healthy fella although has had some allergy issues in the past and recovered IVDD. Mickey is fully vetted, He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is heartworm negative, His adoption donation is $450.00. He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family, Little Dogs can live to be 25 years old so he wants to be sure al for better or for worse! We adopt in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits, If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate to adopt Mickey please fill out an application for his adoption on our website at: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/adoption We are all volunteers with full time jobs.
