Looking to rehome my 8-year-old male Shih Tzu, Pogo. He is neutered, healthy, and up to date on all vaccinations. He is a quiet guy, not too friendly with people but does really well around other small dogs (under 10 lbs.) and cats. I am offering $200 to someone who already has small pets and can give him a calm, loving home. Just want to make sure he is well taken care of. Located in McKinney, TX - 75070

Story
Ziggy was rescued into RHS on 2/22/25.  He is approximately 8 years old and weighed 15 lbs.  He was severly matted and was in need of help.  He received medical care and was shaved down at the same time.  He lost almost a pound of matted hair and dirt.  You can tell he came from an extended neglectful situations.  He has come so far in the last few weeks and he is a different little man.  He is working on going potty outside and is doing an exceptionally good job.  He walks on leash with some hesitation but improves gradually.  Car rides are good for him.  He likes his crate where he takes his afternoon naps often.  He has no issues with the 2 female dogs at the foster home.  He didn't hesitate to get a scratch from a young boy.   Overall, Ziggy is a quiet boy but gets excited whenever he was given a treat.  He is a great lap dog.  He needs someone who is patient because he is missing an eye and is partially blind in the other.  It won't slow him down at all once he learns your home and routines.  He is a wonderful dog with lots of love to give.   Here's how to meet Ziggy: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.

Stephen is very energetic and loves to play with toys. He needs to be let outside often and he is crate trained. He attaches himself to one person, but gets along with everyone. His human mom (our daughter) relocated and we are in the process of relocating ourselves so he must be rehomed. We will miss him.

Story
Hey there! Since you're here, I’m guessing you’re on the hunt for a loyal companion—and guess what? So am I! My name’s Walt, and I’m an 11-month-old Shih Tzu mix with the fluffiest coat and a heart full of love. I’m basically the total package: sweet as can be, great with other dogs, cool with cats, and absolutely adore kids. If your ideal day includes couch snuggles, backyard zoomies, and maybe a few (dozen) treats, then we’re already off to a great start. People say I’ve got a heart like Ted Lasso—kind, gentle, and loyal to the core. I don’t need much to be happy—just a family to love, some toys to toss around, and maybe a few baby carrots (yes, I’m a fan). So, what do you think? Ready to let me be your new best friend? Questions? Please email placement@thestreetdogproject.org Keep up with Walt and the rest of The Street Dog Project: Website: thestreetdogproject.org FB: facebook.com/thestreetdogproject IG: instagram.com/thestreetdogproject
