Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Gertrude or Gerti for short is an adorable, sassy and sweet senior gal. She was surrendered by her owner after personal medical expenses became too much. Gertrude has a lifetime eye drop and allergy care. She is a dream on a walk, with dogs, with people, you name it she's perfect for it. She adores attention but will make her self known before interacting. She is not the best at first meetings and leans towards a more defensive nature if pushed to interact. She needs regular grooming with her allergies and breed coat. She adores all attention so she loves all the grooming. She was a little wiggly for nails but with the work we have put in she is doing wonderfully for dremeling. Her coat has completely grown back and you wouldn't know all the issues she had previously just looking at her. She is realizing that the medications are not actually hurting her and feeling better so she has been doing well with medications she has understand that only good things are coming from people giving her these weird things. She will have a lifelong eye and skin medication. She has a weekly medicated bath. She will need someone knowledgeable in administering medications for dogs.  You can apply to adopt our dogs at: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoption   Cute videos of some Gerti antics   https://www.facebook.com/reel/752144840288745   https://www.facebook.com/reel/705576118401783Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 19, 2024, 10:48 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application ›   Chloe and Lilly are a heartwarming mother-daughter duo looking for a loving home together. Chloe, at 2 years old, is a playful, affectionate pup who will happily follow you everywhere you go. She’s a big fan of snuggles and is especially good with kids, making her a wonderful little companion. Chloe is partially house-trained, but there’s still some room for learning – she’d thrive with a bit more guidance and patience! Lilly, Chloe’s 8-year-old mom, is equally friendly and very gentle. She’s an easy-going girl who gets along with everyone she meets and loves to stay close by your side. Both dogs aren’t used to harnesses or leashes, so walks aren’t their thing just yet. However, they would likely be ideal for a home with a fenced yard where they can enjoy safe outdoor time without needing to be leashed. These two Shih Tzus are inseparable, so they need a home that’s ready to welcome both of them. If you’re looking for double the love, Chloe and Lilly could be the perfect pair for you! You can apply to adopt our dogs at: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 19, 2024, 10:48 am

Story
Meet Mila and Mason – A Special Bonded Pair Looking for Their Perfect Home! Mila and Mason are two of the sweetest pups you’ll ever meet. Despite coming from a challenging start, they are full of love, snuggles, and hope for a bright future together. This bonded pair shares an incredible connection and needs to be adopted as a duo. About Mila and Mason:Mila has a bit more mobility than Mason and is quite the determined little lady—she pulls herself along like a champion in an adorable army crawl and even makes her way to the pee pads when she needs to potty. Mason, on the other hand, finds movement a bit tougher, but he gives it his best effort with a little help and wears a belly band for added support. What Makes Them Special: Built-In Best Friends: Mila and Mason keep each other entertained and are a source of comfort and joy to one another. Amazing Snugglers: They love to cuddle up, whether it’s with each other or with their favorite humans. Easy Daily Care: Their care routine is straightforward. Each morning involves a quick clean-up, putting on Mason’s belly band, some snuggles, and feeding. During the day, a few minutes of stretching for Mason helps keep him comfortable. No Major Medical Needs: While they have limited mobility, Mila and Mason are not on any expensive medications and don’t require major medical procedures in the foreseeable future. Daily Life with Mila and Mason:These two love spending time with their people and enjoy fresh air outside. Their personalities are shining brighter every day as they grow more comfortable and confident. They adore other dogs and find joy in snuggling whenever they can. While their bodies may not allow them to move like typical pups, Mila and Mason are mentally sharp, curious, and full of life. They deserve a loving home that sees them for who they are—wonderful, resilient, and endlessly lovable. If you’re ready to open your heart to this special pair and give them the long, happy life they deserve, they will reward you with endless love and devotion. We are only charging one adoption fee for both pups to ensure they go and stay together. Being 7 months old and only 7 and 8 pounds these guys are going to stay small. They are very easy to care for!  Please apply at pipsrescue.org/adopt and it you have questions please email nicole.k@pipsrescue.org ##2217837##
