Shih Tzus

Mario
Shih Tzu/ Poodle (we think)
Male/neutered/shots current
15 lbs
12-18 months old

Mario is a bright, energetic little dog who’s favorite things are playing fetch and tug with his rope toy, trying to convince his foster brothers to tussle with him, and napping as close to me as he can get (beside me on the couch is good, on my lap is better). He performs an excellent “sit,” and has a very soft mouth when it comes to taking treats. When playing, Mario tends to get excited and will need patient training to help him learn the soft mouth technique in these situations, too. Mario loves to go on walks, and does well on a leash. He has lots of puppy still in him! A home with a yard where he can race around and chase sticks and toys would suit this little boy perfectly. Mario is housebroken, although with his new family he’ll need help understanding what’s expected of him. Quickly establishing a routine for walks or backyard visits will go a long way toward teaching him the rules – he’s a quick learner. Mario seems to get along with other dogs, although there have been a few signs of leash aggression. Don’t know how he might fare with cats. Mario is a confident, sweet, affectionate little dog who will make a wonderful lifetime companion for someone who wants to give a lot of love and receive a lot of love in return.

I will follow you everywhere. I will talk to you when I want up on your lap. I will insist on sleeping close to you (promise I don't make a peep all night long). I will potty outside once I know where I am suppose to go. I will travel in a crate in the car, very quietly. I will fuss at the groomers, cause I wasn't taught "grooming rules" but I can learn. I will get along with other doggies. I will love men or women. I will be so cute you won't be able to resist me. So what will you do for me? will you promise to love me forever, cause I promise to love you forever.

Sasha lost her home because of divorce. She lost her life companion, who was another very sick Shih Tzu. She lost everything. She tends to be very close to you, because she is afraid to lose again.

I am a loving little boy who has had a hard past. I am very loving and love to take care of the other dogs I am with. I love to wash other lil doggies. I enjoy cuddling up to you in your bed and also any time I get the chance to cuddle on your lap. I am a scared of fast moving thing such as little kids . I want to play but unsure how but in time I will learn how much fun it could be. I working on my coping skills with the grooming I did not ever have much of it in my past so it is all new and scary to me.

I would love to come warm your heart and let you show me how great life can really be.

Benny & Rusty
Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso
Males/neutered/shots current/microchipped
18 months and 6 years
16 & 18 lbs
*note: they do not have to be adopted together*

Maybe you remember Teddy and Bruce? Rusty is the Dad to Teddy, Bruce and Benny. It was a struggle to finally get all of these boys out of a neglectful situation, and we thank a couple of wonderful ladies who never gave up to get them to safety. These babies were in horrendous shape when they were rescued, their coats, were disgusting. Once cleaned up, they have turned into wonderful dogs. Sadly though, once anyone could finally see Rusty's face, we were sadden to see his one eye was a mess, and it had to be removed, as you can see in the picture. He also had horrible ear infection and a tooth was broken and infected, and had to be removed.
Benny is an outgoing baby, who reflects his young age. Rusty is more reserved, but at this time, he is just recovering from all his surgeries, so we expect that will change. Benny is energetic, Rusty a little more laid back. They love walks, and can power walk with the best of them. Both love car rides and are excellent.
They are doing well with housetraining, but need to keep a watchful eye on Benny.
They will bring joy and happiness into the right home, and it is their time to be taken care of and loved.

Miley is a happy outgoing puppy who has never met anyone she doesn’t like. Her favorite things are chasing after her squeaky ball and playing with her doggy friend. She is great in a car (very quiet and well behaved). Miley has lived happily with big and little dogs, kids and cats. Her mom had to go back to work and felt Miley would do better where she could get more attention. If you have the time and space for an energetic little puppy girl Miley would love to fill your life with doggy love.

"The Animals Savior"
Copyright Jim Willis 1999

I looked at the caged animals in the
shelter...the cast offs of human society.

I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread,
sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry
"God," I said "this is terrible! Why don't you
do something?"
God was silent for a moment and than
He spoke softly
"I have done something." He replied
"I created You"
