You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. THERE IS NO TIME LIKE SPRING WHEN THE BLOSSOMS ARE IN FULL BLOOM!     Spring brings a sense of freshness and a renewal of all things living and that is what I am hoping for too, a fresh new start in life.  Hi, my name is Spring Blossom and I am looking for a family of my very own.  I am an 18 month old shih tzu mix (best guess, I am after all a rescue dog).  I love everyone I meet, people, dogs, even the cat!  I bond quickly to my human and love snuggles.  I am full of energy and love to run and play in the yard with the other dogs that I currently live with so a home with a fenced yard would be a big bonus!.     I have learned how to play with all the dog toys and so far my favorite thing is chewing on a bone.  I am learning my leash manners and would really enjoy taking a daily walk so I can explore my surroundings.  I sleep all night in my kennel like a good girl but during the day I don't want to spend any more time in the crate than is necessary, I am after all super curious about life so someone who works from home would be ideal for me.  I am working on house training and Foster Mom says I am 90% there and do really well if kept on a regular schedule. I can be a little mouthy when I play so kids over 8 years old would be best for me.   Now for the cutest thing about me...MY underbite!  Having an underbite gives me a chance to show off my pearly white teeth and my cute little smile.  Are you the family I am looking for?   Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 3:15 pm
