Lego Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise Mix Des Moines, IA

ADOPTED SEPT-10-2022: Yay! I found my new home!

PUPDATE AUG-29-2022: Hi, it's Lego’s foster mom. I have been getting a lot of interest for Lego and I think it's because he is a puppy who is fluffy and looks cute but I just wanted everyone to read this. It is very important. Lego does not like to be touched. He doesn’t like to be picked up. Will that change? I hope so. I think so however we have been working with him for quite a while and not made a ton of progress as far as how he cares about people. Because of this, I want to require that he has a fenced in yard and other dogs at his new home. Please understand when you are applying what Legos needs are. Thank you!

PUPDATE AUG-20-2022: Hey guys!! I am still hanging out at this new hotel. I am getting braver and I am crazy about running around with all the dogs here! Still not sure about people. Foster mama says I need someone with time and pawtience. I say I need someone with a yard and treats. Oh! I found out about toys and they are awesome!! It's fun here! Do you have some fun dogs who want a super cool brother? Fill out an application to meet me!!

PUDPATE JULY-29-2022: Hey Yo! It's Lego! I'm at a new foster house. They said there's lots of other dogs to play with here so I said ok fine. So like I'm writing this from the back seat of an SUPee and we are going to the state capawtol. So I'll send pictures soon with a pupdate!

PUPDATE JULY-1-2022: Lego is a darling little Shih Tzu/Bichon creamed colored boy that is only 9 months old. His mother ate one of his feet off when he was born so he hops around on 3 legs. He weighs about 8 lbs. and is very shy. He's more of a follower than a leader. He needs someone that will take the time for him to come to you. He's not potty trained but he's willing to work on it if you are.

Visit me, Jordan, Boss of EveryPuppy of the Universe, by going to the FluffyButts Rescue Resort link above.

Fill out an application on our website (www.fluffybutts.com) if you're interested in being adopted by this cute kid. It's the first step in the pawcess.

ADOPTIONS: We don't let the fact that you might live out of state stop any adoption that's meant to be, but you MUST be willing to drive, or fly, all the way to pick up your new family member. We do not ship these kids on airplanes by themselves - we think they'd have a hard time getting through security without their rabies tag setting off the metal detectors. If the kid needs a health certificate because they're flying home, that will be an expense for the new family.

ADOPTION DONATIONS: When you see the adoption donation amounts, we'd like you to know that 90% of the time the donation amount doesn't even come close to covering that kid's dogtor bills. This is definitely not a money-making venture. We're usually so far in the hole but the impawtant thing is to get these kids the medical care they need and help them find the pawfect family. That's our top pawority. (I just can't resist using "paw" whenever I can!)

POTTY TRAINING: Please note that we NEVER say our kids are 100% potty-trained. How stupid would we be to say something like that? If you're willing to be trained by your new family member, please fill out an application. If you're looking for a totally potty-trained kid, you may as well stop at the toy store on your way home from work and buy a stuffed toy because those are the only reliable ones to NOT potty in your home. There is a period of adjustment, not just for the new family member but for everyone in the house. You must be patient, understanding, and willing to work with your new family member. It can take anywhere from several days to several months. You must be 100% committed to this, it's a lifetime commitment.

HUG AND KISS YOUR KIDLETS LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.

Please be patient with us - we're taking care of a lot of kids - our own and the foster kids - and we have families, homes and full time jobs. We're giving meds to the sick kids, playing with the healthy kids, and loving on all the kids. We're doing their laundry, trying to teach them manners and where to do their business, and cleaning up their accidents. In other words, we're just a little busy but we'll return email inquiries just as fast as we pawssibly can. Thanks!
