Story
Everyone meet ARIANA! **NEEDS: a confident, dog friend already in the home to help show her the ropes as well as a secured, fenced in yard **If you've applied for Nova or Kenji, please know that we also considered you for ARIANA or the others in our program & if you didn't hear back, we didn't feel it was a good match. No need to reapply. **Be sure to go to our Facebook & read/watch this post before applying: (look for the post with the red‼️) https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bj9vWLY2J/? ARIANA is a 1-year-old, 10 lb Shih Tzu mix that came from an overpopulated hobby breeder in crisis that had passed. She has been spayed, heartworm negative, current on her vaccines & chipped. SHE has a lot to say BUT her bark is adorable & very muted as she sounds a little like a chicken. Most dogs in that environment are unsocialized to new people/new things & can be very unsure & timid. ARIANA will need a very patient adopter that will give her time to acclimate to her new world as she may be very skittish & stand offish those first few days/weeks. She is a flight risk so will need a home that has a secured, fenced in yard. She needs work on trust, potty training, & leash walking. Interested in ARIANA& feel you have what it takes to give this special girl the love & patience to teach her that that the world can be not so scary with you by her side? Definitely fill out an application to be considered. Also Our adoption radius is 150 miles from Jacksonville, FL. All other pets in the home must be current on their vaccines, spayed/neutered & on heartworm prevention.

VINCA is a 1-year-old, 6 lb Shih Tzu mix that came from an overpopulated hobby breeder in crisis that had passed. She has been spayed, heartworm negative, current on her vaccines & chipped. Did you watch that video on our Facebook page? She is the climber. She is THE most fearful of the girls & will run, hide & do whatever she can to get away from you. BUT with patience & almost 6 weeks, did you see that picture of her with her foster mama? She climbs up on the couch just to snuggle with her (although she is still very scared of foster dad - but only because he works all of the time.) Most dogs in that environment are unsocialized to new people/new things & can be very unsure & timid. VINCA will need a very patient adopter that will give her time to acclimate to her new world as she may be very skittish & stand offish those first few days/weeks. She is a HUGE flight risk so will need a home that has a secured, fenced in yard. She needs work on trust, potty training, & leash walking. A home without kids is recommended because tiny humans are scary plus they also open doors where she can escape out.

Story
Lito Lopez is an 13 year old Shih-Tzu Maltese mix who loves naps and yummy treats! Initially Lito may come off as aggressive as he is not fixed and very vocal with strangers, but with time and a lot of patience he becomes accustomed to new people and is very loving and docile. We are looking to re-home him because he is allergic to many things, especially to the weeds that grow in my community (He has lost most of his fur over 4 yrs). Regular baths and allergy shots has helped ease the symptoms but has not fully relieved the issue due to the constant exposure to the grass in my area. He also takes medication for a heart murmur and arthritis. My wish for Lito is to live a comfortable and stress free life in his senior years. Despite his age and size Lito believes himself to be a great guard dog, although you will see very fast it is a front and he is a big wimp. Lito would do best in a home with no kids or older kids as he is low energy and scared of rambunctious children.
