We are Snowflake Harris and Freedom Barker and we want to tell you how happy we are! We’ve been adopted and are going to our forever homes.

Snowflake is going to live in the Big Apple with her new Mom Louise and family! WOW!! I am so excited that I will have a Mom and Dad and an 8 month old Lhasa sister named Lolly. Life is going to be VERY good! I hope my new Mom will get me a little sweater though – I think it is going to be cold in New York!!!

And Freedom has been adopted by Joanna and her dog Sophie. Sophie and I have big plans and we will be best buds in no time. It will be wonderful to have my very own home and family. What more can a little dog want!!!

Little Mr. Snowflake will soon be a yankee and a resident of New York!

Little Freedom Barker was adopted today and will have a sister, Sophie. Freedom and Sophie hit it off right away and seem like they will be happy siblings together in no time.

Thanks to all of you for allowing us to help this little dog!

What a lucky little guy I am. I’ve been adopted by Judy and Dick Winklevoss and will be living in my new home in Surprise, AZ. Not only do I have neat new parents, but I HAVE A SISTER!!!! Cool!! Her name is Laycee and in the picture I am on the left and she is on the right. It’s not that great a picture of us, but I was SO EXCITED to get to my new home, I was just not having much to do with the picture taking formality. All I know and care about is that I’ve found my “fur”ever home!!!

Easy

Yes, this was a HUGE weekend for four little baby puppies that almost didn’t come into the world.

If you missed it, we pulled Melody (mommy dog) from BARC literally two hours before she started whelping four gorgeous little babies.

This weekend, all four were pre-adopted, which means they have forever homes just waiting for their vetting to be complete.  They should get to move home in about six weeks, after they are all spayed and  neutered.

After the meet and great, the family that adopted Rudolph decided they also wanted Chestnut, so the boys will be brothers forever!!

YAY!

I think I’m the luckiest girl in the world and that my new mom Lydia is also the luckiest girl in the world. I was a stray turned into the Humane Society and what a mess I was. Then Lone Star found me and I was in a fabulous foster home with my foster mom Lisa and my foster dad Joel. I started coming out of my shell and feeling good and just enjoying be a Shih Tzu. Then, Lydia came along. She lost her little Shih Tzu girl and missed her very much. But all is now great. I’m her new little girl, she loves me and I love her. We will live in New Mexico and that’s just fine by me. We can’t be happier. If only I could show you a picture of how happy we are – my foster mom forgot to take it. But, that’s OK. She was taken by the moment also!!!

We’ve taken in a lot of senior babies lately.  We love the seniors, but do not want to put them in boarding.  We desperately need adoptive and foster homes for each of these pupsters.  If you can open your heart to take one of these in for the rest of their lives, please email harriet@shihtzu-rescue.com!

 

Reggie Barker – gorgeous nine year old tzu.

Klondyke Turner – 13 year old being turned in because her mom is going through chemotheraphy.

Jolly Kaplan – 10 year old gentleman from Louisiana.

Gorgeous Daisy May Montgomery – sweet 10 year old, very chubby, lhasa girl.

Please consider taking one of these no-trouble-at-all seniors into your home.

Email harriet@shihtzu-rescue.com if you can foster or if you want to adopt.
