Butter is back! (No one’s fault). He is a highly energetic 2 yr, 13 lb shih tzu mix. Butter is very loving and affectionate. He loves being outside and playing with his toys. He is crate trained and working on his house training. He’s good on the leash, he pulls a little cause he’s so excited but that can be easily be addressed. He needs a family that can meet the needs of his activity level. He’s good with kids and other dogs and is cat friendly (no cats in his foster home). If you missed out on Butter now’s your chance to make him a part of your family! He is fostered in Westminster, MD. New Oxford, PA, 17350; LIC #9736 We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers. Most of our dogs are rescued from high kill shelters in the South. If the dog is posted, they are still available! Once arriving, these dogs enter foster homes, as we do not have a shelter. We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at www.pack9rescue.org. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs.  Our adoption fee for unaltered puppies will be $400 which includes a refundable $50 deposit upon receipt of spay/neuter certificate.

Story
Charlie is a spunky young dog who loves to go for walks, chase his ball, or take a ride in the car. His favorite words are “Charlie, do want to go bye-bye?” He is great with other dogs and even cats! Charlie would enjoy a playful doggy companion, and a fenced yard to chase his ball in (but neither is required). He is great on leash, and he is friendly and outgoing when he is out and about. He happily greets humans of allsizes! At home he is affectionate and sweet, and he seeks out attention and petting, and he likes to give doggy kisses. He's a young dog, so he likes to go go go! An active family would suit Charlie just fine! Charlie has one hard rule, though. He does not want to be touched when he is lying down to rest or sleeping. This behavior is known as resting place resource guarding in dogs. When this boundary that Charlie has is not respected, he may become defensive. He came into our care after his original owner misunderstood and mismanaged this issue, and we promised Charlie that it would never happen again. This is a behavior that is very manageable and can be improved with time, patience and training, but it may always be a part of who Charlie is. His foster mom reports that there are no issues as long as Charlie’s rule is followed by all humans. A professional dog trainer has worked with him and will be a part of choosing Charlie's adoptive family. Charlie is crate trained, and enjoys having his own "room" to go to when he wants to chill out. He often chooses to take a nap there during the day, and he sleeps in his crate at night. We recommend that Charlie's adoptive family provide a crate for his comfort and security, and Charlie says it must also include a cozy blanket to snuggle into.   Homes with children or that have frequent young visitors will NOT be considered for Charlie, out of an abundance of caution.  Charlie has a soft curly coat that will need professional grooming every 6-8 weeks to keep him looking his best. Please consider this lifelong expense. He handles grooming like a champ!   Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2197376##

Story
Are you looking for the perfect friend? Meet Bucky, a charming 8-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart full of love. His sweet and friendly nature will win you over in no time. Bucky's mellow temperament makes him a perfect companion for those peaceful afternoons spent reading a book or watching your favorite show. He enjoys a good cuddle and is always up for some affection. Bucky is easy-going and adapts well to new environments. His calm demeanor and loving personality make him an ideal pet for any household. Bucky found himself at the shelter because his owner could no longer care for him. Sadly, Bucky had two owners and neither bothered to ever take him to see a vet. But we changed all of that! He was neutered at the shelter and our vet treated his corneal ulcer. Bucky has a condition that is fairly common to Shih Tzu's, dry eye. But it's easily treated with daily eye drops. If you're looking for a loyal friend who will bring warmth and joy to your life, Bucky is the one for you. FLFO requires a home visit therefore adopters must be within 40 miles of Baldwin MD.
