Story
Blair is one of the three shih tzu girls we pulled from Baldwin County. Unlike her two other counterparts, she is made up of a little more spice and sass. Blair is a diva and she feels she should treated as such. Kennel trained? Absolutely not. No diva should ever be locked up. Left to her own devices alone and she will find something to get into because you had the audacity to leave her. She would do best with someone home most the day or who has the ability to block off a room for her to casually lay around in until you return. Preferably with a bed or couch. Because as Diva's should Blair loves to lounge on fluffy accommodations all day. Blair does get along with most of the dogs in her foster home, except one. A very glamorous fluffy girl, so we feel she is just jealous at the other dogs Diva status. Blair will have to meet any potential new companions and let us know if they are worthy of her time. Blair is housebroken. Because of course no diva wants to soil her area. Blair is also extremely loving to her people. She will demand to sleep in the bed and be by your side on the couch. While she does love a back yard to lounge in and would prefer a fenced in yard we would consider a home without one as long as it was up to Blair's standards. If interested in having your life ruled by a tiny little Diva fill out the adoption application below. Included in each adoption: age appropriate shots, microchip, and spay/neuter surgery. Prior to meeting or adopting any of our wonderful animals, we ask that you please fill out our online application: https://form.jotform.com/223268341300041 We are a 100% volunteer organization and have to work other jobs to pay the bills. Please give us up to 48 hours to respond. Submission of an adoption application does not obligate you to adopt nor does it guarantee approval. We look forward to hearing from you. We are located in Pensacola, Fl. Local applications considered first, but will consider out of state applications if transport can be arranged.February 27, 2025, 8:26 pm

Story
Hellooooooo nice person! I’m Bianca. So I see you are looking for a dog? Well, that’s amazing! Because I am a dog! But I’m not just any dog, I am a shih tzu, iykyk. Yep, I am the package deal. I am fun-loving, enjoy hanging out and watching TV, can snuggle like nobody’s business, and great at basking in the sun while you garden. I have been learning to play and finding out what it is like to be in a home where a dog can be treated really nice. You see, my background is kinda shady. They said I was a stray, along with two other dogs just like me. How can that be? [insert shrugged shoulders here] I had to get all my hair cut off because it was matted really bad. Look how it is growing back!! Soft and silky and oh so pretty. Sometimes my head tilts just a little bit. The doc said I have an old injury to one of my ear drums, but it won’t cause me any problems. All you have to do is clap your hands and I know it is time to go back inside, or maybe it is time to eat, or if you just want my attention. You can always do the normal and call be my name too. It’s really not a problem at all. I would love to have a friendly dog as a role model. I have learned a lot in my foster home where there are some really smart doggies teaching me the ropes. I can be a little possessive of my foster mom when I am in her lap getting loving. I don’t want another dog interfering with my “me time”. The rest of the time, I am a mellow participant in this home. I haven’t been around children or cats. Probably would do better if there isn’t a young child. As for cats, I would more than likely get on their nerves with my nosey self. A fenced yard would be great for me as I am learning how to walk on a leash without grabbing it in my mouth. Please put in an app for me. I am ready for my happy-ever-after. Bianca is about 3 years old and just under 10 pounds. Great health, but does have an old injury to one of her ear drums. She is doing great on housetraining if taken out routinely. A few things preferred: a fenced yard, a friendly companion dog, a kind and patient adopter. Bianca is not perfect, but she tries with all of her heart.
