Story
Meet Gunner! Gunner is an 8 month old shih tzu mix who is about 10-11 lbs. he is all puppy. He runs, jumps & chases anything & everything. However he is Very cuddly when he's tired. He is generally Potty trained with a few mishaps as he learns your routine. He is also crate trained although he will voice his displeasure for a few minutes as he would rather stay out and snuggle next to his human. He definitely needs a playmate to keep him company & burn some puppy energy. So he would do best in a home with at least one other dog. To meet Gunner, please fill out an application!

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.
