Thank you for viewing one of our rescues.

Hi my name is Freddy. I am a male Shih Tzu between 1 and 2 years old and only weigh 7 pounds. I was picked up wondering around on a busy road by a vet tech on her way to work. I don’t understand why but my family never came looking for me, so the clinic workers became my new temporary family. They know I need my own forever family so asked for help in finding a really good one for me. I am a very friendly little guy that loves attention. I am looking for an all adult home or one with children old enough to know to be careful with such a tiny guy as me. I want my family to be very available to me, and include me in their activities and outings. Do you think you could supply such a home? Contact [email protected] for an application today!

 

We are often asked, 'Why would you charge 'so much' for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?' The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible.'
