Story
Zara is a 5-6-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart that longs for love. Though her journey hasn’t been easy, she’s ready to find her forever home. This little lady is shy at first but warms up with a little patience and kindness. Once she knows you, she adores going on walks and will cherish being part of a cozy home instead of a kennel. Zara would thrive as the only dog in her new home. She’s unsure about cats, so a feline-free environment is best, and due to her reserved nature, she’d do well in an adult-only household. Zara dreams of having someone special to call her own—someone who will give her the love and security she deserves. If Zara sounds like the perfect companion for you, please fill out an application at rescueridge.com. To respect her journey and ensure the best fit, no phone calls or questions will be answered without an application. If you’re not contacted, it means another family is a better match for her unique needs. After submitting your application, you can text 732-546-8805 to follow up.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Holly is a pretty pooch who is looking for a special home. Holly came to us when her owner moved into assisted living and his health declined to the point where he could no longer care for her properly. Holly is a friendly, social girl who even briefly lived at the assisted living facility and made lots of friends. Holly has been around grandkids, other dogs and cats and has done well. She is affectionate and sweet, loves her walks and toys, is great in the car, likes her baths and especially the blow dryer!   Holly is fixed  and up to date on rabies, bordetella and DHPP vaccines. Sadly, Holly has numerous health concerns that were not communicated to us by her family. She is blind and has a severe heart murmur. We are treating both an ear infection and eye infection and she has a a limp on her front leg which will require x-rays and further evaluation. She also has some arthritis in her back legs and is currently taking carprofen for pain and inflammation. We are working to schedule a cardio consult for her but unfortunately, it appears the murmur is severe. Poor Holly has been dealt an awful blow with all of these health concerns. We are hoping to make her final months as happy and comfortable as possible. How to Adopt Me! If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to  wagoninn.rescuegroups.org .

Story
Don't know where they came up with the saying 'cute as a button' but if the saying it's wear it. And Presley certainly does! This boy was found in the most deplorable of conditions, but despite all he's been through, he's a happy, playful little guy who just seems so grateful for his new lease on life. Presley requires a fenced yard. Presley is estimated to be about 4 years old. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.   Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 28, 2025, 10:21 am

Story
Meet Baby Valentine! This adorable Shih Tzu mix was named because he was surrendered on Valentine’s Day. Despite inheriting seizures from his dad, Baby Valentine is too busy being the happiest pup to notice! Baby Valentine needs to take his meds every day (one of them every eight hours—yes, he has a schedule!), but don’t worry—they're very inexpensive. He’s used to taking them without fuss and goes right back to playing with every toy he can find and running around with his foster sister, trying to show her that he’s just as big and brave as she is! He needs a special human who can keep up with his meds routine. Baby Valentine is a ball of energy who loves everyone and everything! Now, he’s looking for his forever home. Baby Valentine gets along great with other dogs, though he hasn't been tested with cats yet. He’s doing really well with leash training and is already pee pad trained. Plus, he’s getting the hang of using the bathroom outside. At only about 10 lbs, he’s a small pup who won’t grow much bigger. Baby Valentine loves car rides and enjoys going everywhere with his foster mom. If you’re looking for a buddy who will shower you with love every time he sees you, whether it’s been a minute or 5 hours, Baby Valentine is the one! Interested in adopting Valentine? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.   January 7, 2025, 9:35 pm

Story
Meet Mila Mila is a 10 week old female Hava-Tzu. Which is a cross breed between a Shih-Tzu and a Havanese, two really great breeds and make wonderful family dogs. Mila and her brother (Murray) were recently pulled from an Ohio puppy mill after being rejected by a NY pet store. We were contacted to take these in and we couldn’t leave them there. Mila is extremely adorable with her brown eyes. Mila is a happy go lucky puppy that is just looking to find a family of her own to be spoiled with love and toys. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She is considered fully hypoallergenic. We estimate her full growth weight to be around 10 - 14 pounds. Mila is currently being fostered with Murray, Mini and Mason. She loves the company of another canine and even likes to play with the cats in her foster home. Mila is UTD on vaccinations based on her age, dewormed and Microchipped.
