I was looking for baby pictures of Ashlynn and came across her family pictures. Her mom and dad were surrendered to the rescue about three years ago. We found out a week later her mom was carrying a litter of 4 special little people. Ashlynn was the last born and considered the runt at birth. They were so tiny and mom was so young.
The entire family was adopted into individual homes and are living their forever lives. Unfortunately, Ashlynn’s parents decided to return her and she is back at the rescue awaiting her chance to be chosen again. Hopefully, to never be given up on ever again.
Consider adopting Ashlynn

Baby Ashlynn was adopted from the rescue as a baby and recently returned to the rescue at 3 years old.
She was and still is the sweetest baby girl.
We know she will find her forever family soon.

This beautiful baby, Cotton, was an owner surrender yesterday. Unfortunately, our rescue was not in a financial position to take her in. We are already struggling to provide food and care for the babies currently in our care.

But something beautiful happened. ❤️

That very same day, we had an approved adopter who was looking to welcome one of our babies into their family.

We’ve never done anything like this before, but the timing was divine, and the match was perfect.

Instead of Cotton coming into our rescue, her adopter met me at her owner’s home, and this sweet baby went directly from the only home she knew into the arms of her new family.

And she was SO HAPPY! ❤️

This felt absolutely awesome because even though we didn’t have the funds to bring her into our care, the work for the Shih Tzu people was still done.

As much as I wanted Cotton to experience the love we give our babies here, she had an even better plan. She got to go straight home.

Sometimes rescue looks a little different. Sometimes the greatest thing we can do is simply help the right hearts find each other.

Thank you, Nikki and Ang, for being open to doing something a little different and for opening your hearts and home to this beautiful baby.

Welcome to the Village, sweet Cotton! 🐾❤️
