Story

One of these ears is not like the other...Vincent Van Go-Go is a gorgeous male Shih Tzu. He is 8-years old, and overweight at 16-pounds. When he was picked up as a stray, he was very matted. Once trimmed, it became evident that he has one beautiful blue eye. He also had a "fake ear. His left ear canal is normal, but he has no ear flap on that side. It makes him unique and special, and it doesn't affect his hearing. When his hair grows back, you can even let him grow a new "fake ear if you prefer. No one will even notice. :) Vince likes other dogs and calm people. He is a food hound, and will need to be fed separately from any other pets. Maybe we should have named him Hoover?? Vince also cries for attention in the cutest of ways. He sounds like a mix of a baby and a small cat. It is very endearing. Vince likes cars, walks, and is okay in a crate.

Story

Hi, my name is Bernardo; my foster mom calls me Bernie for short. I want to take a little time to brag on myself and tell you more about me: I am a really good boy, I'm potty trained and crate trained, and I get along with my foster siblings really well (they are all canines); I've met my foster mom's grandkids and neighborhood kids, and I like them too. I am very quiet and hardly ever bark, I love to sit on your lap and rock with you, or if you're sitting on the couch, I love to cuddle with you, and when I'm tired, I put myself to bed. I am very very handsome... I know this because my foster mom tells me this all the time, and so do her neighbors. I would love to have my own forever family to love, is that you?

Story

Kirby is a 7-month-old (born 12/23) shih tzu/bichon, also known as “teddy bear, or shichon” He came from a place where the dogs had little human socialization. He’s made absolute leaps and bounds since being in a home! He is a champ for grooming, likes to relax on the couch for a good brushing. He does his business outside when he has some peace and quiet, as well as a minute to get comfortable on the grass. He is doing better every day on a leash, but a well-fitted harness is a must until he fully trusts and walks with you. He can be easily startled, and will jump, rear up, and try to run like the wind. The best way to approach him is calmly from the front, and underneath the chin since he doesn’t like things looming overhead. Kirby has never been aggressive, just avoidant. He is getting much more confident every day, but he will need a family with some shy dog experience and a gentle touch. Despite the odds, Kirby is a curious young man. He will melt your heart from across the room, so just scoop him up so he learns he is welcome in loving human arms. His preferred leisure activity is “snuffling” in something soft and/or crinkly. Paper is a favorite, so the kids might not be lying if the dog eats their homework! Kirby is not used to humans, but his curiosity has drawn him to the laundry basket. He has not torn any clothes, just taken them for a snuffle. He seems to enjoy cats, and totes around their small soft toys as well. Kirby is so so gentle, and a family with a middle-aged mild-mannered dog (or cat) would be a great match for him. Since he was raised around so many dogs, they bring out his most enthusiasm, but he still gets overwhelmed and shuts down a bit when it’s noisy or there’s lots of commotion. He has bravened up enough to climb some stairs on his own, and you can tell he feels so accomplished when he makes it up. He happily takes a meaty treat as a reward for his bravery and effort. I’m sure Kirby will blossom in no time once he’s home. Is it with you? His adoption fee of $300 covers his neuter, 1st vaccine, microchip with registration, and current monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventions. Please apply at gfrpets.org/apply ##2143684##

Story

Location: Decatur, IL Emerald is a puppy mill survivor! She is still learning the ways of being a pet and adjusting to life in a home. Emerald is sometimes shy and insecure with strangers (especially men) and will bark at them. Her new family will need to understand this and take things slow when introducing new people and having guests. We recommend short visits that are positive to help her be ok with new people. Emerald has discovered all the joys of toys and likes to play with them. She spins in circles when she is happy or excited. Emerald is not sure about grass but is getting a little more comfortable with being outside. She likes to lay on the concrete in the sun. She gets along great with other dogs and will play with them, but she can also entertain herself. She is good with snuggles from people but is unsure about being picked up and will run away at first. This should get better with time and as she learns to trust. Emerald is considered a flight risk and will need a secure physical fence to keep her safe. Someone with mill dog experience is needed or another canine companion in the dog. Another dog will help her continue her studies in being a pet. Emerald's adoption fee is $375. She is spayed and current on vaccines and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention. Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. NOTE: WE ARE A VOLUNTEER RAN ORGANIZATION AND OUR APPLICATION PROCESS CAN TAKE 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS, DEPENDING ON OUR AVAILIBILITY AND YOUR REFERENCES. ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE IN FOSTER HOMES AND NOT AT A CENTRAL LOCATION. AN APPROVED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE WE DO MEET AND GREETS. WE DO NOT SHIP OR TRANSPORT DOGS. YOU MUST COME TO THE LOCATION OF THE DOG TO MEET AND ADOPT.

In addition, she has had many opportunities to meet different people and dogs and go to different places. She has been taught to explore and try new things, how to communicate with people through manding, how to be creative in her thoughts and approaches to challenges, and been exposed to grooming equipment. And let me tell you, Lady has been great about it all! Lady has been weaned on a raw diet and had her gut biome enhanced with a variety of different foods. Studies have shown this can help with gut health throughout the rest of her life. Lady does have a small umbilical hernia that can be repaired at the time of spay.

He is more sensitive to sound and new experiences and is more cautious. When he is scared he will hide. When he does, please do not go and drag him out or pick him up. Instead wait for him to come out on his own or encourage him with rewards. Making the decision himself will help him with his confidence and let him feel in control. Forcing him out only reinforces the insecurity. T will benefit the most from continued Puppy Culture training. T Bird has been raised on Puppy Culture.
