Story
Gizmo's got it all-all those gorgeous looks (button nose much?), excellent house manners ,and big ambitions to boot. Gizmo is working on championship fetch status while he is looking for his new home. He heard people like dogs who fetch, so he's all in with the tennis ball. At home, Gizmo is cuddly, smart and quiet. When he is out walking, that ambition kicks in and he works a bit too hard to achieve "tough guy on the block" status. His strategy is to bark and yell at passings dogs to prove himself. He needs to learn a new strategy and his new family can help. Your reward will be cuteness and kisses. Gizmo lives successfully with a dog in his foster home and has lived with others in the past. Gizmo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. Gizmo is part of our Silver Paws program for senior dogs and his adoption fee is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.

Newton is looking for a family that has had dog experience. If you do not have dogs now or have not owned a dog in  the last five years, and or if you have children, Newton may not be the right dog for your family. Newton would like to have a home with a yard where he can spend some time running around.    He is an amazingly affectionate dog. Newton is a mixed breed we presume to be Shih-Tzu / Poodle mix.  He is around 23 pounds neutered and up to date with all vaccinations.  Newton ended up in a local shelter completely matted and in pain.  He was shaved down, neutered and had imbecile hernia repair.  He was too stressed out in the shelter so they reached out for a rescue group to help him.  We got there as soon as we can. Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brothers.  He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Look back here for more information as we get to know him better. Newton is a very affectionate companion.  He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you.  He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body. WHEN AN APPLICATION TO ADOPT IS APPROVED WE BRING NEWTON TO THE HOME VISIT AND MEET AND GREET, AND IF ANOTHER ANIMAL A SNIFF TEST.  WE DO NOT PLACE DOGS ON THIS VISIT.

Story
Hello! I’m Sparky, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix weighing in at 12 lbs. I was born on January 29, 2019, and I’m here to bring joy, love, and tons of cuddles into your life. I have a fluffy, medium-length coat that’s perfect for petting, and floppy ears that make me even cuter! I’m a very affectionate dog – I love snuggling up with people and showing them how much I care. I’ve been in homes with young kids, and I was great with them! I’m obedient, playful, and always ready for a good time. I love squeaky toys, and I’m also protective of my people... I think I'm a guard dog! I was surrendered by my previous owner because their apartment wouldn’t allow dogs, but now I’m looking for a new home where I can be loved and spoiled. I’m friendly, playful, and always ready to be your best friend. Let’s hang out, have fun, and be inseparable! ##2258288##

Story
About Charlie   Age 2.5years old Weight 16 pounds Energy level Medium Healthy status Healthy  Ideal home Fenced yard with someone home part of the day   Charlie came to us from a local shelter. Charlie is an affectionate Shih Tzu mix who loves toys almost as much as he loves his people. He can entertain himself for quite a while, burying his toys under blankets and pillows, walking around with a toy in his mouth, or lying on his back holding a toy with his paws. He also loves cuddle, lap, and play time with his people and will gaze adoringly into their eyes. He enjoys meeting new people (especially if a treat is involved!), but he will stay at a respectful distance and approach them on his own time.    Charlie is a sturdy boy who weighs around 16 pounds. He enjoys being the center of his guardian's world, so we are asking that he go to a home without to many dogs because we want him to be spoiled!  Charlie does great with no accidents if he is let outside in the backyard every few hours like most dogs. He will go on indoor pee pads if necessary. Charlie prefers not to be left alone for too long, so we are asking for a home with someone home part of the day.

Story
Meet Rocco, a 4 1/2-year-old Parson Terrier and Shih Tzu mix! He has reached his mature weight of 10 pounds, and due his petite size, children in the home should be older than ten years or have experience handling small dogs. He wears a long coat of brown and white. His playful nature is infectious, lighting up any room with his energy. Despite his zest for play, Rocco also has a mellow side, enjoying quiet cuddles and showing his affectionate, loyal nature. He's smart and independent, often amusing himself with toys. Rocco can be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he's your best friend for life. Rocco was surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him. His blend of playfulness, intelligence, and loyalty makes Rocco an ideal companion. His unique mix of breeds contributes to his friendly and cuddly demeanor. Adopt Rocco and let his light shine in your life!

Story
Where to begin? I'll tell you about this dog named Bandit. He's around 3 years old. A Shih tzu mix, he wears a long, soft coat of black and tan, and weighs only 16 pounds. It's because of his small size that any children in your home should be at least10 years old. Small children don't always realize their own strength and might unintentionally hurt such a small dog. But there are many ways to hurt another, aren't there? Bandit is a wonderful dog who gets along with other dogs, kids and his foster's cat. Still, his previous owner took him to the vet to be euthanized because she &#194&#147no longer wanted him.&#194&#148 It hurts to even think about that, doesn't it? We're doing all we can in rescue to make him forget that, and we know you will, too.
