Story
Meet Miles, a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a sprinkle of Maltese magic, and enough personality to keep you entertained for years. This little man is looking for his chill kingdom—a low-key home where fewer furry roommates roam, and his occasional "grumpy pants" moments are respected. If he gives a little growl, don’t worry—that’s just his way of saying, “Not right now, thanks.” Miles doesn’t do pickups unless he requests it; everything’s on his terms, and that’s part of his charm.The ideal sidekick? A sweet, playful female dog who understands and respects boundaries. Miles thrives on routine and is house-trained as long as you keep him on a schedule. He's fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and even had a dental—so his pearly whites are just as charming as his personality.Once a severely matted stray, Miles was scooped up by Peyton's Place Animal Rescue, and he’s since revealed his total softie side. He's the king of cuddles—when he’s ready. His favorite snooze spot? Curled up at the foot of your bed, where he can keep watch. Oh, and did we mention his diva streak? Miles demands to be carried up and down stairs, and trust us—he'll unleash his inner rockstar if you don’t oblige.Despite his quirks, Miles is an absolute sweetheart who just wants a cozy home where he can rule in comfort. Can you offer this spunky senior the royal treatment he deserves? Apply now and meet the most lovable diva around!   ##2207857##

Story
Shadow’s a 2yo 6lb Shih Tzu mix. He’s dog, cat and kid 6+ friendly. He’s house trained when kept on a schedule and is crate trained. He’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. He is a known escape artist so will really need to watch him in a yard and needs work on leash walking. He likes playing with toy, especially toys that he can chew on or play tug of war with. He loves to be with his people to cuddle and play/wrestle with other small dogs. He still has a lot of puppy energy. He’s very good with being bathed/groomed/getting nails clipped. Shadow’s foster requires he have another young playful small dog in the home, get daily exercise to help with all his energy and help stimulate him mentally, be allowed to be with his people as much as possible including sleeping in bed with them along with people who are on board to show leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirements, please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Shadow’s neutered, vaccinated, hw negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
Meet Angel! Fostered in East TN out of state welcome. Transport to the Great Lakes or north east is available and included in her adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders for all of our pet transport needs because they have been the best with our pets for years. This little sweetie is owner surrender along with her two sisters (chiweenies) their owner could not longer properly care for them. She’s a sweet girl who would be content to go for a walk and play a bit and then chill with you on the couch. She is not a high energy girl. She’s very laid back. She seems to want to match your energy but hiking would probably not be her thing. Now camping and relaxing heck yeah she would love that. Great with most other dogs and ok with cats. We would suggest older children that can respect her space. Her Favorite thing to do is sit on your lap or next to you on a chair and she stands up in her back legs for belly rubs she is absolutely adorable. She will use a potty pad if available but we have been allowing her ample time outside to do her potty business and she has done well. Apply at Petpath.org

Story
Meet Oreo, a charming male Shih Tzu born in December 2020, who is eagerly searching for his forever home. Weighing around 15 pounds, he is scheduled to be neutered soon and is fully updated on his vaccinations. Oreo thrives in the company of other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats or small children. He has a special bond with female caregivers, as they make him feel most secure. Oreo is smart and responds to his name, showcasing his affectionate personality. He is crate-trained, viewing his crate as a cozy sanctuary. This sweet boy would thrive in a calm and peaceful environment, as he can become overwhelmed in high-energy settings. If you’re ready to offer Oreo the love and understanding he truly deserves, apply today! https://www.hart2heartanimalrescue.com/forms/form?formid=6527 We would really like Oreo to be fostered by someone with dog experience that can read dog language and behavior. Frequently, when smaller, “hypoallergenic” dogs become available, people jump on the opportunity, thinking about how this cute, little dog can fit into their lives. This can sometimes lead to people not respecting a dog’s boundaries.
