Story
Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? If you're searching for a handsome little guy to steal your heart, look no further! Romeo is a neutered male Shih Tzu with a sweet disposition to match his charming name. Romeo has a few health needs that require special care. He has allergies, which are managed with daily medication and a vegetarian diet. Since starting this routine, his skin has greatly improved, and we've even been able to reduce the frequency of his medicated baths. Romeo also has dry eye and will need daily eye drops long-term to keep him comfortable. This sweet boy enjoys walks, making friends with calm dogs, and sharing quality cuddle time. Once he's had his exercise, Romeo's ideal afternoon involves lounging on the couch next to his favorite human. Romeo needs a patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time. He requires a muzzle for applying topical medications until a bond of trust is established. With consistent, gentle care, Romeo will flourish into the loving companion he's meant to be. Romeo is looking for a dedicated and peaceful home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. Could that be with you? Romeo has a few health needs that require special care.

Story
April is a 7-9 year old Shih Tzu weighing 12 pounds.  She came to us as a puppy mill survivor and is ready for the next and final journey in her quest for a forever home. April came into the rescue with a huge bladder stone causing her an immense amount of pain and discomfort.  The rescue got her into see a vet immediately and surgery was performed to remove the stone and spayed her at the same time.  She got better and has transformed into a very energetic and affectionate companion. Although she is still skittish and runs away from her foster mom, you can tell that she wants to trust.  Her tail is always wagging.  April will need leash training as she has not had any experience walking with one. Her housetraining needs on going support. She would do best in a home with a yard. She has been introduced to a few dogs and is quite friendly towards them.  She is extremely interested in the resident cat, a lot more interested than the cat is in her.  She may be a bit too intense for a cat. She likes to chew on her toys and doesn’t know the difference between her toys and a pair of reading glasses, so it would be advised to keep these things out of her reach. April is on a special diet to prevent stones from re-occurring and has to have drops in her eyes daily. She is pretty good at getting her eye drops put in.

Story
Violet came into our rescue as a puppy mill survivor in early April of this year. She is a Shih tzu,  approximately 7-9 years old and is about 14 pounds.  Her life in the mill has left her under socialized and non-trusting of people.  She is very skittish and will run away from you if she thinks you want to pick her up. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.  She follows her foster mom everywhere and you can tell she’s trying her hardest to be your friend.  With time, patience and positive reinforcement Violet has the potential to become a beloved pet if given the chance.  She has not yet barked in her foster home but hopefully one day she will find her voice.  She follows her foster mom in and out of the house for yard time and potty breaks. She is good at the vets and the groomers.  Life is very different for Violet in her foster home and you can tell she’s gives every challenge her best effort.  Violet gets along with every dog she has met and seems indifferent towards the cat. Violet will need leash training and on going house training support. Violet would do best in a home with a yard.

Story
This sweet dog sees with their heart and has so much love to give! Benji may not see with his eyes, but his other senses are on overdrive! He'll recognize you instantly by the sound of your voice and the unique scent of your hugs. This loving 2 year old Shhtzu mix is the most resilient, heart-filled pup you'll ever meet. He lost his eyes due to an untreated disease. But those days are behind him and now he has had vet treatment and is healthy, neutered and microchipped. From his wagging tail that never stops to his impressive "mapping" skills around the house, Benji is loving his foster siblings and home. His joy is unmatched, and he’ll bring you endless laughter and snuggles. He navigates his world with trust and confidence, reminding everyone around him to live in the moment. Blind dogs adapt quickly to a consistent and loving home. In return, the bond you build is an unbreakable connection built on pure trust. We have placed many blind dogs and are happy to connect you with other families for tips and support. If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will love you unconditionally, Benji is the one for you. Our preference is for a home with a fenced yard and another dog to help Benji learn the ropes. Please email us at c4ptoronto@gmail.com for an application and information.
