Slick Jones's Story

Slick Jones is a 3 year old and 9 lb Shih Tzu mix.<br/><br/>Slick was found abandoned in a park in Los Angeles, severely matted and dirty. People said he had been roaming the park for weeks, and no one took him in until a Good Samaritan stepped in. They reached out to a wonderful woman we work with in rescue, who brought him to us so he could get the forever home he deserves.<br/><br/>Slick is the total package wrapped in a small, ridiculously cute body. This affectionate little guy is what we lovingly call a “Velcro pup”—he adores being close to his people and will happily follow you from room to room like your tiny, loyal sidekick. If you’ve ever wanted unconditional love with a wagging tail, this is your guy.<br/><br/>He’s equal parts cuddle bug and playful adventurer. Slick loves his toys (especially anything he can carry around like a proud little prize), enjoys a good game of fetch, and is perfectly content soaking up the sunshine like he’s on a permanent vacation. When the day winds down, he settles in beautifully and sleeps soundly through the night—no chaos, just vibes.<br/><br/>Social and sweet, Slick gets along great with kids and other dogs. He’s friendly, curious, and approaches the world with that perfect mix of confidence and charm. Even better? He’s incredibly responsive and eager to please, which means he’s going to be a dream to train. This is a dog who wants to be your good boy.<br/><br/>And we cannot ignore his signature look—Slick’s adorable little overbite gives him a permanently goofy, endearing smile that will absolutely melt you on a daily basis.<br/><br/>In short: Slick Jones is joyful, loving, easygoing, and just plain delightful. He’s ready to find his person (or family) to stick to like glue—and trust me, you’ll want him to.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Looking to Adopt? <br/><br/>Step 1) Apply Online <br/>Submit a rescue questionnaire!

Shelter Hope Pet Shop's Adoption Policy
Shelter Hope is operating by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Dogs are only brought into the shop if an application to meet the dog is approved and an appointment is made. More about our process: STEP 1: APPLICATION If you're interested in adopting, please fill out a rescue questionnaire. Please be thorough in your answers. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. Be ready to adopt, as adoptions can happen quickly. Only apply for dogs that every family member agrees on, and wait to submit your application until after your vacation. STEP 2: PHONE INTERVIEW If your application is approved, our rescue counselor will contact you for a phone interview. Please be patient, as this process may take several days. Due to the high volume of applications, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we often interview multiple candidates before selecting the best match and scheduling an adoption appointment. STEP 3: ADOPTION APPOINTMENT The appointment is a meet-and-greet at our shop at the Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks. If you choose to adopt, the process is completed with an adoption fee and a signed contract. Adoptions include: - 10% off training at Zoom Room Thousand Oaks - A free day at doggy daycare at Barks N' Rec - A free grooming at Indiana Bones - A free check-up with Slaton Veterinary Hospital - A free 30 minute visit from Valley Pet Sitting - A free collar, tag, harness & leash As well as all the vaccines they've had thus far, the microchip, and the spay/neuter. And most importantly, the lasting reward of saving a life and welcoming a new member into your family!
