Story
Yoshi is a true gem - a gentle, lovable senior who has lifelong unconditional love to give. Yoshi is a small Shih Tzu and is approximately 11 years old. He is slowing down a bit... some would say that he is as slow as a snail! Yoshi is blind so he needs to be carried because he cannot see where he is going...he must be transported around the house and to his food, outside and to bed. His world is a little dark, and he needs his human to guide him to where he needs to go. He has had surgery on his teeth, leaving only a few good teeth in his mouth, so soft food is a must for him. He will also need eye drops daily, morning and night for dry eye. His eyes also will need to be wiped daily. Although Yoshi will require some special care, he will definitely show you his appreciation with his constant companionship. Yoshi is the ultimate lapdog that is very loving, loyal, sweet and trustworthy. He loves other dogs and cats, and he is great with kids too! Even though he does love other dogs, he does not like them around his food while he is eating, so his human will need to be aware of his food protection. Yoshi will melt your heart with his slow movements, gentle nature, and love for cuddling and affection. He is incredibly sweet and loves nothing more than being around his people. Yoshi absolutely loves to cuddle in bed with you and will stay there all day waiting for you to come get him! Yoshi's heart belongs to his humans, and he must sleep in bed with you, so if you are not willing to share your bed, Yoshi may not be the dog for you. There is no playing with toys or going on walks for Yoshi, those days are behind him! Now he just longs for getting carried around and loved on. He doesn't need much outside of his daily eye drops, soft food, and some extra care. Yoshi is house trained and has been very reliable while in foster care, so you can count on him to do his potty business outside. He is a true easygoing old man who just wants love and attention. Yoshi is a special boy who will thrive in a loving home where he can be pampered and cared for in his golden years. He's gentle and loving and deserves just the same in return. He may be an ancient baby, but he has a heart full of love and a soul that just wants to be close to his family. If you are the perfect human to give Yoshi the care and love he needs, go to www.pawpatroldayton.com/ adopt to apply! His adoption fee is $160 and he is UTD on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.

Story
My foster mom says I have elegance about me. I am sweet and charming but a little shy at first. I like to play and I like to nap and I need my family to find me so I can shine! I really am a good boy and you would be happy you chose me!

Story
What a charming gentleman you will find in Leon. This 2 yr. old male shih tzu / terrier mix has a heart of gold. He bonds nicely with people and most dogs. A cuteness in that Wirey hair and his tuxedo face just makes you want to smile back at him. Leons short little legs love to go out exploring on walks about the neighborhood. He enjoys car rides where he can see out the window so he may need a car seat! He would be a great travel companion. Crate trained, working on some potty training but improving a great deal. He responds so well to correction, he just needs to be given a structure and kind instruction. Short in stature long in body makes it easy for him to curl up next to you on the couch if you let him. It might be too simple to say he is adorable.

Story
Interested in two small fluffy senior dogs? Meet Bessie Boo and her 'sister' Daisy Mae, our maltese/shih tzu mixes. They lost the only home they've ever known when their owner passed away and are looking for a new retirement home where they can stay together. We dont know if they are actually sisters but they are both 11 years old. These seniors are quite joyful and fun to watch! Bessie is a black and white ball of fluff and is the larger of the two at 11 lbs. She will not sleep or eat without her motherly Daisy Mae. They will curl up together with a bed and blanket or sleep in your bed if allowed. Bessie is quiet but will talk to you if you talk to her. She does snore softly. So cute!Bessie loves being a lap baby and enjoys stretching out on the back of the couch. Larger dogs scare her but she is fine with small dogs and pays no mind to the vets cat. If you tell her go potty she will go outside with you. Both are used to living with a woman, but have no problems with getting attention from men. They have been around older children but not toddlers.These two have a very special bond and have touched our hearts. We really want to keep them together, so if you have room for two tiny quiet girls, apply at www.caninecollective.org.
