Story

Cricket the Pug/shih tzu mix. I guess that Sandy already asked you about the car dealership quiz so I won’t repeat that but it was hot in that box. I will say that. Would you believe that 3 of us cute pups were dropped off there in a box? I am not sure what kind of person would do that in this weather and there isn’t much food on the outside of the car dealership either. But we lucked out as that person was a great guy and he contacted God’s Dogs rescue and here we are! Safe and healthy in a home with our foster mom. So, about me. I am approximately 10 months old and have the typical little underbite that pugs have. One of the guys in the box with me was my presumed Dad, Pappy, the shih tzu mix. We don’t have that in DNA but he does kind of look like us, or us like him, except Sandy has the Pug coloring, and I take after Dad in his coloring. I am doing well with house training and will get some leash training this week too. I am smart so am sure it will go well. I have a sweet personality too but am a little more shy at first, but I do warm up quickly with attention. I get along with the other pups in the household and am just happy to be out of the box and running in a yard! I have already been vaccinated, gotten rabies, a microchip, and been fixed and tested for tick diseases and I am good to go to my forever home anytime you want to come and get me. My adoption fee locally is $250 in Texas. Out-of-state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Sandy the Pug/shih tzu mix. Hello there! I have a pop quiz for you! What do you want to get when you go to a place like Cavender Toyota? A car, right? Or a truck? Would you believe that 3 of us cute pups were dropped off there in a box? I am not sure what kind of person would do that in this weather and there isn’t much food on the outside of the car dealership either. But we lucked out as that person was a great guy and he contacted God’s Dogs rescue and here we are! Safe and healthy in a home with our foster mom. So, about me. I am approximately 10 months old and have the typical little underbite that pugs have. One of the guys in the box with me was my presumed Dad, Pappy, the shih tzu mix. We don’t have that in DNA but he does kind of look like us, or us like him, except I have the Pug coloring, and my brother, Cricket, has Dad’s coloring. I am doing well with house training and will get some leash training this week too. I am smart so am sure it will go well. I have a sweet personality and get along with the other pups in the household and am just happy to be out of the box and running in a yard!

Story

Pappy the Shih Tzu mix. I am not sure why I got the name of Pappy, because that sounds like I am about a hundred years old. Which I am certainly not! I am only about 2 and have lots of years left in me. I suppose foster mom did that because I was in the box with my probable kids. I don’t have DNA or anything but they kind of look like me so I will claim them. They are pretty good guys and I like them. We hang around like the 3 amigos, and then we got squished together in that darn cardboard box and let at Cavenders dealership. That was just plain rude! Fortunately, we were found before we melted, and brought to rescue. There we received food, and beds, and medical care. I am in pretty good shape now, got all the shots up to date, no heartworms, have a microchip if I lose my new owner on a walk, and boy is it nice to have a yard to run in instead of a box. I wasn’t impressed with getting the snip snip but it was worth the trade off! I am looking for a forever home, so if it is with you, please apply for me soon! My adoption fee locally is $200 in Texas. Out-of-state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area)

Story

My name is Sam the Shitzu. My foster mom says I am a bundle of energy, so she was more than surprised to hear I am about 5 years old. I live with 4 fur-fosters about my size. During the day we love running around outside chasing squirrels or racing for toys my foster mom throws for us. We each sleep in our own crates for naps (while humans are away) and bedtime. I am relatively quiet in my crate throughout the night unless I hear a noise or know my humans are around. Sometimes I do get lonely and I will let the world know, lol. Yes, I am a barker, and I might be mistaken for a larger dude, unlike a yippy pomeranian. I travel well in a crate in the car, it did take a couple rides to get used to it, I will admit. I walk best on a leash with a harness; I am a bit stubborn and insist on leading the way, yes “it’s my way or the highway”! I do love being the center of attention. I will jump onto the chair to sit next to you. I love being pet, and although I do not growl I do get nippy when I play and get excited to play! But you cannot blame me! I have been sick and hurting for a long time and NOW that I have my horrible hernia repaired, am neutered and had big bladder stones removed, AND my cherry eye repaired! I am HAPPY AND PLAYFUL!! I feel like I am reliving my puppyhood and am looking for someone who can keep up with me! My diet consists of Honest Kitchen (great for hiding liquid medicine) and some treats like bell and sweet peppers (so-so), cooked smashed carrots, cucumber (so-so), papaya, pineapple, cheeses, hard boiled egg… most of which are great for hiding pills of any sort. I cannot wait to meet my furever family 💕 I have so much love to give. My furever family will be a happy and loving family, older kids are better than the young ones, active and do not live in an apartment because i do bark. I would love to have someone who works from home so I can cuddle and play ALL DAY LONG!! But I am good in a crate if you need to leave me :D ADOPT ME SOON!! Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story

Are you ready for some cuteness? How about a little 12 lb bundle of love and attitude? Coco may just be the girl for you. Miss Coco is a six-year old Shih Tzu mix (we think) who finds herself in need of a new home. She would love nothing more than to be your forever friend and lap buddy. If you'll agree to be her whole world, she will do the same for you 🙂 We do know she would prefer not to be left alone in a big, scary apartment for any length of time (she will let your neighbors know that she is unhappy with such a situation.) If your lifestyle allows you to take her with you most places (she is quite portable) or if you work from home, that would make her a very happy girl indeed. She does fine with other dogs and is fine alone too. She is mostly housebroken, but may have occasional accidents if not taken out regularly, so her new person needs to be prepared to work with her to get her to 100%. But who could resist that winning smile? 😁 If you'd like to meet Coco, please message and we'll send you an application. Her adoption fee is $250 and includes spay, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives.
