Looking to add not one, but TWO sweet girls to your family? Meet Dotty & Rosie, 2-year-old Shih Tzu mixes who would love nothing more than to find their happily ever after TOGETHER! 🏡❤️

These lovely ladies are sweet, affectionate, and full of love to give. They can be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but give them a little time to warm up, and you'll see their beautiful personalities shine! 🥰 Before long, they'll be showing you just how much love those sweet hearts hold.

🐶 A little about these adorable sisters:

💕 Bonded besties: These girls have a special connection and need a home where they can stay together!

🐾 Dog-friendly: They get along well with most other dogs.

🐱 Cat-friendly: They have done well with cats, too!

🏡 Good home habits: According to their previous foster home, both girls went outside to potty and were crate trained.

❤️ Sweet as can be: Both love people and just need a little patience while they get comfortable.

🤍 Dotty (the black-and-white sister) is the more dominant of the two, but both girls are incredibly loving once they get past their initial shyness. With a little time, patience, and a whole lot of love, these two will show you just how wonderful they can be!

At just 2 years old, they have so much life and love ahead of them. Imagine twice the happy greetings, twice the tail wags, and twice the cuddles waiting for you when you walk through your door! 🐾💗

🙏 Can you help Dotty & Rosie find their forever home? These sisters have each other, but they still need someone to give them the family they've been waiting for. Please consider opening your heart and home to BOTH of these beautiful girls!

❄️🐾 MEET YETI — YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE BUDDY & PROFESSIONAL COUCH COMPANION! 💙🥾
Looking for a dog who’s equal parts chill, charming, and ready to hit the trails? Meet Yeti, a 3-year-old Akita mix who is ready to leave shelter life behind and find his forever family! 🏡❤️
Yeti is the definition of laid-back. He’s quiet, calm, and just an all-around good boy who makes being around him an absolute pleasure. He’s good with most other dogs, good with cats, good with well mannered kids, HOUSE-TRAINED, and walks on a leash like an absolute DREAM! 😍 Seriously, folks, this handsome guy has a whole lot going for him!
🌲 Love the great outdoors? Yeti does too! His favorite thing is spending time outside with his people, and we think he would make an AMAZING hiking buddy! Whether you’re exploring woodland trails, enjoying a peaceful walk, or just soaking up some fresh air together, Yeti would love to be right there by your side. Just don't expect him to enjoy being left outside alone — this boy wants to share his adventures with his favorite humans! 🥾🐾
Now, Yeti has been working on his green bean diet since arriving at the shelter. 😂🥬 He's got a few extra pounds to lose, but with regular exercise, fun adventures, and a family to help him stay active, we think he'll be feeling even better in no time!
But underneath that handsome face and those extra cuddles is a BIG lover who simply wants a home to call his own. Yeti has so much love to give, and we think he could fit beautifully into so many different homes. He doesn't need a wild, busy lifestyle to be happy — just a family who will include him in their lives, give him plenty of love, and let him enjoy all the little things that make life wonderful. ❤️
Could Yeti be the missing piece of your family? 🐾
If you're interested in meeting this sweet, easygoing boy, please fill out our dog adoption form here:
https://northwoodshumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-form/
Already approved? Give Northwoods Humane Society a call at 715-634-5394, Monday–Saturday, 11 AM–3 PM, to schedule an appointment to meet him!
Let's get this handsome hiker out of the shelter and into the home he's been dreaming of! Share Yeti's post and help us find his forever people! ❄️💙🏡
