Gizmo's Story

Gizmo and Widget are ready for their forever home! When these cute, friendly, little Shih-Tzu arrived they had been shaved down by the shelter due to a flea infestation, and they had kennel cough. So they had a rough start, but were troopers through it all. They have been nothing but sweet, friendly, lovable little snuggle bugs. They finally are feeling great, their hair is growing back and they are ready to find a home. We think Gizmo (white) is 6 and Widget (black) is 7 years old. They came in together and do LOVE to play together so we do want to keep them together. We know it won't be easy finding someone looking for two dogs, but we hope the right family is out there. They are doing very well in their foster home. Still working on potty training but making good progress. They don't pee in the house during the day and at night they are wearing belly bands but they have been dry for the last week or so. They play together and enjoy each other's company. They get along with other dogs well and walk on a leash very well. They seem to like their walks. They have also discovered toys and will take them all out of the box and play with every toy. They are neutered, UTD on shots, microchipped and negative for heartworms. We hope someone out there is willing to open their home to two sweet boys. For an application go to www.homesfurhounds.org They are located in Williamsburg, Va.

Homes Fur Hounds, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

1. Once you have identified the dog(s) you are interested in meeting, you must submit an Adoption Application. You can find the application at https://www.homesfurhounds.org 2. Be patient. We occasionally have a high volume of applications, especially on puppies. 3. If your application is approved you will be contacted to arrange a meet and greet with the dog(s) you are interested in meeting. Whenever we have more than one applicant who is approved, we set up the meet and greet in the order in which the applications were received. 4. We are a small rescue group and do require home checks. Therefore, we only adopt to VA, NC and MD. Exceptions are made for medically needy or seniors if no qualified applicant is located in our adoption area. 5. We do keep applications on file for 6 months, so even if you aren’t selected for a particular dog, if you see another dog of interest, let us know and we will consider your application at that time. 6. Please don’t be offended if you are not selected to adopt. We try to match the dog with the BEST home for them. Just because you weren’t selected for a specific dog does not mean you can’t apply for another one. 7. Our adoption fee is $300.00.
