Story
Hoping to to re-home my 4 year old Shih Tzu (mix?) dog, weighs approx 25 lbs, spayed, litter box trained (paper pellets), needs to be placed in a single dog home with no young children preferably with a female caretaker. She needs to be the center of attention and is a very loyal pup to her people. We are a multi dog household with frequent visits from other family members with dogs and unfortunately, she has developed a low tolerance and we can't take chances around our granddaughter.

Story
Looking for a fun-loving, playful, toy-squeaking bundle of joy? Look no further than Wonky, our little baby hippo! He’s very dog-friendly, cat-friendly, kid-friendly—just a great all-around dog.Sweet Wonky came to us after his owner's passing, severely matted and had to be shaved down to the skin, so he was butt naked and looked like a baby hippo. Now, he has his hair back and looks more like the adorable Shih Tzu he is.Wonky LOVES any toy that squeaks and will play fetch, though he’s not too keen on bringing the toy back to you.He is crate trained and working on house training. Despite his small size, when Wonky barks, you’d swear you had a hound dog. It’s hilarious to see people’s reactions when they hear that big bark from such a little dog. Luckily, he doesn’t bark in the house or when crated—only outside when he hears other dogs.Wonky is looking for a low to medium energy household but definitely enjoys his outside playtime. If you’re looking for a quirky, lovable companion, Wonky is your guy!Name: WonkyBreed: Shih Tzu/CrossbreedSex: MaleAge: 4 years  (estimated)Weight: 19.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: YesAdoption Fee: $500.00  (includes transport fee when applicable)Location of dog currently:   Texarkana Tx  IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.

Story
Bingo is a sweet little lady that needs a patient owner that understands that dogs are not toys and not all dogs love to be picked up right away.we are not sure what happened in Bingo's past but she wants love on her terms and being picked up too quickly can be scary! We are asking for a small-child free home for this reason. Bingo is dog friendly with dogs her size, we are unsure about larger dogs at this time.  is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (puppies under the age of 6 months may not be sterilized prior to adoption, if this is the case your adoption coordinator will discuss the process with you). To adopt or learn more about, you must complete an adoption application. To find the application, visit our website: WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM ** PLEASE READ: If a dog/puppy is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. In some cases this dog may be pending an adoption already, and their profile has not been updated yet. Please note, SPR does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated otherwise. All breeds listed are educated best estimates by transferring shelter staff, our volunteers or our vets. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them the All American MUTT. Our dogs are rescued from various situations (kill-shelters, owner surrenders, strays, etc). It is most likely that both their parents were strays and mixes of some sort. If you are interested in this dog, you MUST submit an application. Sandy Paws Rescue does not a have a public shelter in Mass, so there is no building you can visit without an appointment. Our dogs live in private foster homes or boarding kennels down south until adopted, and foster care homes through out MV, Cape Cod and other parts of MA. A majority of our dogs are adopted/spoken for prior to transport and release from state mandated isolation. To learn more about our rescue, adoption fees, and procedures, review the list of FAQ’s on our website at WWW.SANDYPAWSRESCUE.COM **The FIRST step in adopting an animal from our rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.

Story
Cody Local is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Meet Cody, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix. Neutered and housetrained, Cody is looking for a loving home with either no or dog-savvy children. This little guy enjoys having his butt scratched but is hesitant with face pets. Cody gets along with other dogs but can sometimes feel overwhelmed. True to his Shih Tzu nature, he likes things on his terms. He loves toys, but you'll need to trade for a better option to take them back. Cody would thrive with a fenced yard where he can run around and play, something he has never had but truly enjoys. If you're looking for a spirited and playful companion, Cody could be the perfect match! If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter. If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today!
