Story
Fozzie needs a forever family!Fozzie is my favorite kind of dog, what I like to call wonderfully weird. Let’s start with the fact that he has no teeth. It’s true, he recently had to get all of them pulled because he had exposed roots. So now his tongue hangs out and his chin gets a bit wet. Then it kind of looks like he has a handlebar mustache. And he has a very feisty attitude. If things are new, he can be a little scared, and he will let you know in a very feisty way. My husband says it’s a bit reminiscent of a TanTan in Star Wars. But two seconds later he wags his tail and wants to play! He’s just a hoot.He also likes to snuggle, gets along great with other dogs, but takes a little time to get comfortable with men. A patient one will win him over, though. He is 7 years old, perhaps a terrier mix, and was found as a stray in Texas . This guy will bring character, laughs and a wonderfully weird love into your life! Fostered in Wauwatosa.Apply at www.nbstr.org

Story
Benny is a funny, playful, very sweet, 2 year old Shihtzu mix who is 14 pounds! He goes potty outside when let out on a schedule, he LOVEs running around our fenced yard and walks well on leash. He sleeps well at night in an enclosed area with open crate. He gets along well with other respectful small dogs after a responsible introduction. Benny is looking for a patient and understanding home that can support his unique needs. Due to severe matting before he was groomed, he has developed some sensory sensitivities and may be cautious with certain touch. With time, consistency, and a gentle approach, Benny will continue to trust and build confidence. He’ll do best with someone who can move at his pace and provide a calm, reassuring environment where he feels safe. He is available for adoption at New Beginnings Shih Tzu Rescue.

Story
Meet Levi ?? (aka your future best friend)Just look at that face—Levi is a one-year-old Shih Tzu mix with the sweetest eyes and a playful little personality to match. Found as a stray, this 15-pound fluffball is making up for lost time by loving everyone he meets. Levi is very much still a puppy at heart—full of energy, curiosity, and a love for toys and outdoor adventures. He’s wonderful with kids, gets along great with other dogs, and has that happy-go-lucky spirit that makes every day brighter.His soft, non-shedding coat is absolutely beautiful (and perfect for snuggles!), but it will need regular grooming to keep him looking his best.Levi is still learning the ropes—potty training is a work in progress, and he’d benefit from a puppy manners class to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.He’s already been vetted and is ready to start his next chapter with a loving family. An active home that can keep up with his playful energy would be his dream come true.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, slightly goofy companion who will keep you smiling, Levi is your guy ?? Fostered in Allenton, WI. Apply to adopt at NBSTR,org
