Story
Meet Oreo!!! This sweet little girl was found in a cage on the sidewalk in downtown Philadelphia. She was taken to ACCT Philly and we were able to pull her out of the shelter and into our rescue where she would be fostered in a loving environment and not a cage. Oreo is it a Shih Tzu estimated to be around four years old. She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines and on preventatives. Oreo loves to snuggle with her people, with other dogs, or just relax by herself. She gets along with dogs both big and small as well as cats. She loves running around the fully fenced in yard at her foster home. She also likes going for walks and walks very nice on a leash. She does well when crated if you have to go out but also does fine if confined to a room if you need to go away. She does have an occasional accident in the home but has come a long way and has been doing so much better with going potty outside (regression is common when changing environments). If you think this adorable little princess would make the perfect addition to your family, apply today!!! www.zoeshouserescue.com Zoe’s House Rescue Kennel License 9117 Sinking Spring, PA 19608

Story
Meet Your New Pocket‑Sized Sidekick: Birdie Mae!! (Aka: Bird Dog, Bird, Birdie Girl) This little 10‑pound Shih Tzu may be tiny, but her personality is huge. She’s the perfect mix of calm companion and spirited sidekick—equally happy curled up in a blanket on the couch as she is trotting around the yard with the big dogs. She enjoys watching the neighborhood from her bird nest on the back of the couch! About Birdie: • Great personality — affectionate, social, and full of charm • Small but mighty — currently living with a large golden, a 90‑lb Rottie, and a 45‑lb mix, and she keeps up with all of them • Dog‑savvy kids only — best suited for respectful, experienced kids ages 8+ • Potty trained — uses a fenced yard reliably and also walks beautifully on leash, pottying on walks too. Regression is possible and expected when transitioning to a new environment. • Professional napper — loves to sleep anywhere…be it right next to you or burrowed into every blanket she can find. • Spayed and ready for her forever home 🩺 Special Care She does have allergies that require ongoing care and medical visits. • Daily medication • Special food • Medicated baths • Regular grooming to help keep her skin healthy and her hair neatly done. She’s doing wonderfully with her routine and will thrive with a family committed to maintaining her care plan. She’d love a home where she can be included, adored, and kept on track with her allergy care. And maybe even some friendly canine siblings to snuggle with!!!

Story
hi Darla, this pretty lady is a 8-year-old, 20 lbs. Shih Tzu / Bichon mix. She was surrendered to our care with another dog from commercial breeder when they was no longer needed. Darla spent many years being used for nothing more than profit. It's remarkable how far she has come since arriving. Darla was initially very timid and now, she greets every volunteer with a wagging tail and loves curling up on each lap she meets. She does well in play groups and is such a happy little lady now. She would need to meet any resident dogs. She will come spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested. She is also scheduled for a dental evaluation and will receive it as the vet deems is necessary. If you are serious about adoption, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.phoenixanimalrescue.com Her adoption fee is $475.

Story
So this is Walter. Named after that cranky old man puppet who looks like he’s been mad since the Carter administration. Accurate? Painfully. Let me be clear: Walter did not wake up one day and choose violence. Walter woke up one day and chose survival. This little dude came out of a hoarding situation with 51 other dogs, which means: • zero personal space • zero dignity • and about zero reason to trust humans who keep saying “it’s fine” while everything is, in fact, not fine And yet look at him. Standing there like: “I’ve seen things. I’ve smelled things. And if you touch my snacks wrong, I will file a complaint.” Same, Walter. Same. He’s not aggressive. He’s not mean. He’s just done with nonsense—and honestly? Respect. Walter doesn’t need chaos. He’s lived it. He needs a quiet home, soft beds, regular meals, and people who understand that old souls don’t do well with foolishness or loud noises or whatever you call children. So if you want a dog who: • judges silently • bonds deeply • and will absolutely side-eye bad decisions from across the room Congratulations. Walter is your guy. And before anyone asks—yes, he will warm up. But like me, he requires snacks, patience, and proof you’re not an idiot. —Gumbo 🐾 Chief Spokesdog, Protector of the Tired, Union Rep for Dogs Who Are Over It Adoption Fee: $250 Currently located in Fosters, AL and can be transported North (VT, PA, or CT) to an adopter!
