Gilbert is a gorgeous 4-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart just as beautiful as his looks. This sweet boy has been through a lot recently—he unfortunately lost the eye he had—but he is adjusting incredibly well and continues to show just how resilient and loving he is.

Gilbert may have a unique story, but it only makes him that much more special. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a brave spirit and a big heart, Gilbert could be your perfect match.

[NOTE: We are a rescue NOT a shelter, meaning WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY THAT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC. Typically, an application and home visit (both of which are required for adoption) MUST be completed, BEFORE a potential adopter will be introduced to one of our pets, in order to first determine that our basic adoption requirements are met, prior to introductions being made. We also utilize personal reference and vet checks (to ensure that any pets already in the potential adoptive home are current on vaccines, heart worm prevention and sterilized) in our adoption process, all of which is intended to ensure that the best match, between pet and people, is made. The adoption fee is based on on the dog's age.
