Paws in Paradise, Inc. is seeking home(s) for a sweet pair of shih-tzus currently in foster care because they are too young for our sanctuary.

Pepper, the male is 6 yrs old, quiet and laid back and smaller than the female (maybe 10lbs).

Muffin, the female, is 4 yrs old, more energetic and a bit larger than the male ( maybe 15lbs). She needs a home with a patient person who will spend a lot of time snuggling and holding her.

Both are sweet and affectionate, up to date on shots, dog and cat friendly, doing well with potty training and behave well in a car.

They lived together previously but we may consider separating them.

PiP requires a completed application, vet check, home visit and a reasonable adoption fee.

If you'd like to meet the dogs, please contact Alice at (518) 461-3683 for an application.

Well, it's not looking too good for Happy to win "America's Favorite Pet". He is in 5th place in his group and must be in 1st place in his group by 9 pm tonight to progress to the quarterfinals. Please follow the yellow link below to vote for him. The good news is that if he doesn't win, he will never even know he competed. We surely would not want to sully that sunny disposition of his!

It is with great sadness that we hereby announce the passing of our beloved Milkshake who we believe was 16-17 years old. Last night, our sweet girl experienced 2 seizure type incidents, the second substantially worse than the first. We rushed her to the emergency vet where we were informed that a neurological exam indicated the existence of a brain tumor which would cause her continued pain and suffering. On the vet's recommendation, we decided to euthanize our sweet girl. We loved Milkshake dearly and will always miss the sight of her floppy ears bouncing up and down with excitement at feeding time.

Sadly, Happy was abandoned because he was elderly, blind, toothless and almost deaf. He now lives "happily" at our senior dog sanctuary.

PiP's first video post below: Last year we fostered an adorable bonded pair of pugs and found them a great home together. This year, we took in our first bonded pair for permanent placement. Here are our adorable 14 year old shih tzu brothers, Rusty and MJ, cleaning each other.

Lovely Luna thinks it's fine if Ray accidentally walks into her. I wish all of the dogs felt that way.

We can not help but smile seeing our former foster pug, Molly living the high life Christmas Day with her adoptive siblings in her new home on the Long Island sound. Molly was given up to be euthanized almost 2 years ago at the age of 12 supposedly because her mother was moving to an apartment that didn't allow dogs. She was deaf, had a large growth hanging off her hind leg and dental problems, none of which affected her ability to love. The reality is many people surrender or abandon senior dogs because they do not want to care for them in their old age. Some drop them at the shelter without looking back and walk out with a puppy. Fact is there should be a comprehensive list of people known to have neglected, abused, abandoned or surrendered an animal without good cause. All shelters and rescue groups must have access to this info!!

Joe is doing better. He now ventures out of his self imposed isolation in the mudroom/laundry room to socialize. He even slept in my daughter Nikki's room this weekend when she visited. Once I saw him start to walk down the hall to my bedroom but then he changed his mind. He loves to be petted and shoves his head into you if you stop petting him. Joe has been enjoying leash walks with our friend Matt who helps out frequently. We are very pleased with his progress. In the video below, Nikki is speaking in a high pitched voice because that seems to be what he can hear best.
