Story
Kingston (King) is an 8 year old Shih Tzu that I received as a college graduate gift. He is sweet and friendly to everyone. Over the years, he has interacted with other dogs, cats, children, and adults, and has adapted well with them all. Like most dogs, King does not like loud noises (thunder or banging). He barks when someone approaches the door but he greets them with a happy dances.

Story
Roger has come a long ways since his days as a stray in Texas. He will gladly flop over for a belly rub and is learning to trust again. He has come to enjoy the good life, living with air conditioning and long days splashing in his pool. He is not a fan of his crate but will go in with some toys and treats to sweeten the deal. Roger had a rough life on the streets of Texas but with some patience and love he will make a great companion. He is house trained and would do best in a home without small children who might startle the little 15 pound guy!

Story
Tiffany was in pretty bad condition when we picked her up from the PG shelter in December. She weighed just 6 ½ pounds and had recently been shaved due to being matted. Her eyes were in AWFUL condition and as a result, she has had multiple eye surgeries. She had her left eye removed and can only see shadows and movement with her right eye. She will need to continue with eye drops multiple times a day for the rest of her life. She doesn’t mind getting the drops in but does not like to have her eye cleaned. She also has some allergies and is currently receiving a Cytopoint shot as needed and periodic medicated baths. She lives with 2 other small dogs and gets along well with them. I am not sure about cats and she would be best with kids over 12 years old. When the dogs start barking, she joins in and continues even after the “threat” is gone since she has no idea why she’s barking..lol. Tiffany adjusted to her surroundings quickly and has her own room where we feed her and have pee pads laid out for her. She LOVES to eat!! She will let you know when it is mealtime and we have not found any food she does not like!! She has free rein of the home and is non-destructive when left alone (on average about 6-7 hours a day). She sleeps in my bed at night along with the rest of the dogs! I have not crated her at all. She needs to be carried down the stairs but is able to go up the stairs on her own. If there are stairs in the home, there must be a gate to prevent her from falling. We use steps for her to get on and off the couch. She loves to be on the bed and will let you know when she needs to be lifted up. She has recently started playing with toys and tries to play with her doggie siblings every once in a while but she just keeps barking in their face and they don’t understand what she wants. She gets happy feet when she gets excited. She also greets us at the door when we get home! She walks well on leash but is rather slow because she loves to stop and sniff everything. She also has a doggie stroller that she likes to sit in and also likes to be carried. She wants to be in the same room as you and prefers to be laying on a pillow or on your lap. We think she should have an older doggie sibling so she is never alone. She definitely likes to be part of a pack. If you would like to add her to yours, apply today!

Story
Hello!! I know my future family is out there, and I want to introduce myself...my name is Lola. I am sweet, sweet middle aged girl who obviously had a home and someone who loved me...once. I was found running in a neighborhood, no one claimed me so the sweet lady who saved me then decided to FOSTER me!! Fostering SAVES lives :) So here I am, groomed, spayed, all shots and ready for a responsible and low energy family. I am a mere 12# and have a luxating patella on one of my back legs, so I will run like a tripod but honestly, who needs to run anyway???? Way too much energy wasted, I say! So let me tell you more about me! I am an easy easy girl, house trained, love my crate-if u leave the door open I use it to hang out in when I am not staring at you lovingly or following you from room to room. I am a quiet and loving girl who deserves the home of a lifetime!!! Adopt me and we can walk into the sunset together :) Local adoption $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
