Story
Hi my name is Maxwell -- Max for short.  I am a senior southern gentleman of 13 years and I weigh about 12 lbs.  I have blossomed since coming to my foster home and am now ready to find my forever home.  I arrived a frail little thing with my bones sticking out, my fur in bad shape and I had a mouth full of nasty teeth.  All that is behind me now and I am a happy go lucky boy.  I have several senior buddies in my foster home and we all get along just fine.  It is nice to hang out and relax with them.  However I also love to smell and stroll around our fenced in yard.  I also enjoy going places with my foster mom and making new friends with other dogs and with people.  I am a social guy who does not meet a stranger.  I have learned to walk on a leash and I love to go.  I have also learned when it is time to eat and am a bit demanding when I try to 'patiently' wait for my breakfast or dinner.  It is kinda cute but a little noisy.  I am a very sweet boy who is looking for a forever mom and/or dad that just wants to take care of and love me for the rest of my life.  I come with a lot of love to give you in return.  I am a great little cuddle buddy and would love the opportunity to snuggle with you and watch TV and also snuggle right beside you when it is time to go to bed.  If you are looking for a loyal companion who is on the older side but still has a lot of life to live then you have found him.  My foster mom Miss Dawn and Miss Vivienne will confirm that there is nothing better than the love of a senior shih tzu.  If you have experience with senior dogs especially shih tzus please consider adding me to your family.  I am patiently waiting to hear from you.  Max is neutered, current on all his shots and microchipped.  To be considered for his forever family please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net or 615-943-7311.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Max is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.  Due to state regulations we are unable to adopt to residents of MA and RI.)

Story
Meet Nipsey! This 11 month old boy is very playful but also loves to cuddle up in your lap. Nipsey came to us from a local shelter. He was quite sassy in the stressful environment. Since entering a foster home, Nipsey has proven himself to be a sweet boy. He needs an experienced owner who will give Nipsey space and time to adjust. Nipsey does not like to be approached quickly or cornered. He will not be adopted to a home that has children or where children visit. Six obedience classes are included in Nipsey's adoption fee, and his adopter will be expected to attend the classes with him. Local (Hampton Roads) applicants only!

Story
Hi! My name is Sky! I'm 8 years old and my 13 lb. I love to be held and petted. I get along well with other dogs but I'm not really interested in playing with them. I have a submissive temperament. I do not have any food or toy aggression. I am house trained if taken out regularly. I enjoy being outside and am pretty good about staying in the yard. I come when I'm called. I have a low to medium energy level. I do bark at strangers coming into the house, but once they are in, I'm happy to come up and give them a sniff and a tail wag. I ride well in the car. I'm ready and waiting for my new home, but will not be adopted into a home with young children because I'm so small.
