Description:

She may not look like it but this little girl is very fragile. She went in for a dental, and because her bones were so weak and she was so tiny, her jaw broke during the dental. She was immediately taken care of and the jaw has healed.

She still needs more teeth pulled, but we need to be very careful to not have the same issue happen with her jaw again. We will be using an Orthopedic surgeon and special dental equipment. We need help to cover these costs.

Meet Charity!

This sweet Shih Tzu was found as a stray and no one came to claim her. Charity gets along with other dogs and loves people. When she was first found, she had an eye infection and was badly matted. Charity has since been treated and groomed and is feeling chipper again. She doesn't have many teeth, but that doesn't stop her and she has a great appetite.

Charity is such a sweet little dolly! She loves to lay and look outside as you can see in her photos. She also likes to lounge on the deck or take a nap with her foster dad's slippers. When her foster mom gets Charity up on the sofa, she only stays as long as someone is petting her, then she will go look outside again. She is not much of a barker. She is a very sweet, mellow, little girl, good around other dogs in her foster home. She will probably be fine around respectful children. Charity is not crated when her family is out, she has free run of the house. She is crated at night.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
