Story
YODA is currently being fostered in TEXAS. ***Please note that we would prefer to have YODA and SPARKLES adopted together*** Yoda is apx 8 -9 years old and 12 pounds, a shitzu/chihuahua mix. She was an owner surrender with her “sister” Sparkles. We are hoping they can be adopted together but we do want what is best for them and to find the girls an amazing home. Yoda gets a dental on the 23rd. She is a tripod. Yoda does have some cataracts starting in her eyes, some cloudiness and her teeth are awful so she will most likely lose quite a few toofers. Yoda is a bit more nervous than her sister Sparkles. She is good with cats and dogs but no small children please. Yoda is more shy and needs some time to warm up. She is not an aggressive dog just a bit scared and nervous. This is A LOT of change for her. Yoda is a sweet gentle older girl and she needs her forever home to be a place to rest her head, feel love and security.

Story
Bailey / Female Spayed / 6 Years / Shih Tzu / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids 13+ / Meet Bailey 💖 This sweet soul came to us in November from a puppy mill, a terrified little bundle of fur. Please read her bio carefully, as we are looking for an adoptive home that fits her specific needs. Only select applicants who are a good match will be contacted. Progress has been slow, but we’ve seen so much improvement. Initially she would barely ever leave her crate. Now, she’s comfortable being in the room with people, exploring her surroundings, and showing curiosity—though she’s still quite nervous. Bailey is shy but gentle, and she doesn’t make a peep. She’s incredibly sweet and good-natured. As she becomes more comfortable, she’s growing more curious about the world around her. She enjoys being bathed and groomed, and her fur is incredibly soft. She’s learning to accept gentle petting and seems to like being on the couch, though she hasn’t figured out how to get on or off it yet. Bailey is very friendly and curious about other animals. She would thrive with a confident dog who can show her how to be a dog and guide her. She’s also good with cats! Children, however, would be a bit too much for her, so we’re looking for a quiet, adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. Though she shows interest in treats, she’s still learning to trust that she can actually take them. She seems to do best with focused, one-on-one attention and will need someone patient who is willing to let her progress at her own pace. Bailey deserves the most perfect home after all the trauma she’s experienced. We are hopeful she will find a home where she can continue to heal and grow. Please share her story and help us find her forever family. 🐾 Bailey must have a fenced yard and another dog in the home to help her feel her most confident self. Bailey is up to date on vaccines and is microchipped. She is spayed and has had a dental cleaning. She is being fostered in Niagara. Apply to adopt!
