My 11 year old Yorkie passed away in 2007 from kidney failure. I decided to go to PetFinders to see what they had to offer. I found a Shih Tzu that seemed perfect so I applied to adopt him. I was told he had already been adopted. So back to PetFinders I went and found a Yorkie and applied to adopt him. I received a telephone call stating that I had been approved for the adoption of the Yorkie but I had to guarantee that I would take him. I said of course. It turns out he was rescued from a breeder in Arkansas and they were driving down to Sarasota from Arkansas to deliver him to me. Soon after that call I got a call from Underdogs of Bradenton telling me that the Shih Tzu, who had been rescued from a high kill shelter in Miami the day he was to be put down, was available for adoption after all. So I ended up with two wonderful little dogs. The Shih Tzu, Toby, is a friendly dog who loves everybody and likes to cuddle. Tyler, the Yorkie, is very timid and is afraid of strangers but is coming around with the help of Toby. They get along great and play together a lot. They are my "babies" and I adore them both.
