rom a gnarly skin infection that her previous owner could not manage, but fast forward 4 months of lots of TLC from her foster mom and our amazing veterinary team, Ellie is healed and finally on the market and ready to find her forever family! She is a 7 year old Shih Tzu, weighing in around 12 pounds. Ellie is fully potty trained, great with kids, friendly with other dogs, and even gets along with cats (though she might try to playfully chase them!). She&#39s also a dream on leash and enjoys car rides--perfect for those weekend adventures or quick errands. Ellie doesn&#39t love being in a kennel, but the good news? She doesn&#39t need one! She&#39s completely trustworthy around the house when left alone and isn&#39t destructive at all. While she&#39s still figuring out how to play with toys and other pups, she&#39s trying her best and would really benefit from having a dog sibling to help show her the ropes. This snack-loving girl especially adores blueberries and will do just about anything for a tasty treat. She&#39s a low-key goofball with a big heart, and she&#39s happiest when she&#39s near her people (or when snacks are involved). A few things to know about her care: Ellie has chronic dry eyes and needs daily eye drops to keep them comfy. She also takes a daily dose of Apoquel for itchy skin, which keeps things under control. Her ears can get itchy too, but an ear rinse helps soothe them. The cost for her eye drops, ear cleaning solution, and Apoquel medication is ~$60/month. Regular grooming is a must--she&#39ll need baths every two weeks or so to keep her feeling fresh and happy. Ellie is looking for a patient, loving home that&#39s willing to keep up with her care needs and help her continue learning how to just be a dog. She&#39s got so much love to give--and with the right family, she&#39s sure to bloom. Ready to meet your new shadow, snack buddy, and loyal companion? Ellie can&#39t wait to meet you! The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $300.00 and that includes their vaccinations, spay or neuter, rabies and microchip. Our dogs are also heartworm negative (or we will cover their treatment). To start the process please visit our website and fill out the adoption application (.dfwrescueme) and from there the foster family can answer any questions and arrange a time to meet

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
