DOLLY - SF
Age: ~ 4+ Years Old
Weight: 60 lbs
Breed: Chocolatey Sweet Mama Dog
Dolly is back with us and ready for her second chance at forever. While we always strive to match dogs with the right homes, sometimes it takes living in one to truly understand what they need to thrive. In Dolly’s case, her previous family realized she was a bit too nervous around their younger child (age 6), though she did well with their older child (age 9). Ultimately, they felt it was in Dolly’s best interest to find a home better suited to her comfort level and while painful for everyone, we’re grateful they made that loving decision.
You see, Dolly likely never really lived in a home before. She was originally picked up by animal control in Tennessee while very pregnant and was transferred to us by a humane society partner. Once in rescue, Dolly gave birth to six beautiful puppies (which was likely her first litter) and all of them have since found loving homes through Shultz's. Now it’s Dolly’s turn.
Dolly is the epitome of a “Tennessee runner.” S joyful energy, it’s clear life hasn’t always been kind. But despite whatever hardships she’s faced, Dolly has held onto her incredible spirit. She’s goofy, playful, affectionate, and absolutely adores her humans.
She’s also strong, athletic, and a total outdoorsy girl who lives for a good game of fetch. Whether it’s long walks, yard play, hiking, you name it and Dolly’s up for it. And if you bring out the garden hose? Well, let’s just say she’ll try to drink every last drop while happily playing in the spray.
During her five weeks in a home, Dolly began to flourish with the structure of a routine. She is fully house-trained, crate-trained, walks well on an EZ-Walk harness, and is respectful of household items (with the exception of stuffed toys because really, who can resist a good squeaker?).
Dolly would love a secure, fenced-in yard where she can run, play, and just be her joyful self. If there are children in her future home, they should be dog-savvy teenagers or older who can respect her boundaries. She has done well with other dogs but tends to be more independent, and while we’re not sure how she feels about cats, we do know she’s ready to finally settle into a life where she feels safe, secure, and celebrated.
Dolly has been spayed, microchipped, and is up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. She’s done her running. She’s raised her babies. Now it’s Dolly’s turn to find her happy ending…a place to call home, at last.

LOLA - SF
Age: ~ 1+ Years Old
Weight: 90 lbs
Breed: Great Pyrenees
Meet Lola! This beautiful girl was surrendered to us after her previous home in the city proved too small for her needs. Lola is now ready for a fresh start with a family who understands what a special girl she is.
With a heart full of love and a playful spirit, this sweet girl thrives outside lounging one moment and playing the next. She’s wonderful at entertaining herself and delights in her own zoomies. She would adore a family that finds her silly soul just as endearing as we do.
Lola is fully potty trained, although she prefers to take care of business in the yard rather than on a leash. Hey, everyone has their quirks! Her ideal home would include a large, secure yard where she can roam and explore to her heart’s content.
She’s lived with young children and done beautifully with them. When it comes to other animals, Lola would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She could potentially live with cats, but they’ll need to be dog-savvy. Her playful attempts to engage sometimes come across as a bit much but she means no harm.
Lola needs a dog-savvy owner who understands and appreciates the Great Pyrenees breed. Having grown up on a farm, her guardian instincts are strong. She’s protective of her home and family, which can sometimes include a bout of barking in the middle of the night. She means well and simply needs patient guidance and consistent training to help her channel her instincts appropriately.
Lola is deep, soulful, and reassuring. She’s the kind of dog that makes you feel safe, loved, and fiercely protected. Lola hasn’t been given a fair shot in her past, but we believe the right home is out there, one that will give her the love, structure, and chance she deserves.
Lola has been spayed, microchipped and is up-to-date on her monthly preventatives and vaccines. Lola is a loving, loyal companion just waiting for the right family to give her the space, freedom, and love she deserves. Because sometimes, the best things in life come in very big, very fluffy packages.

LEO - M
DOB: 2/22/2025
Weight: 16.4 lbs
Breed: Xoloitzcuintli Terrier Mix
Meet Leo, our little legendary lionheart! Leo and his sister Lumi were part of an accidental litter and lovingly cared for by their previous owner's mom, who sadly couldn't keep them. Now Leo is looking for his forever family, and we have to say, he's a pretty special pup.
This adorable little guy is a Xolo mix (that’s short for Xoloitzcuintli…don’t worry, we can’t pronounce it either!), one of the oldest known dog breeds in the Americas. The Aztecs believed these ancient “Mexican hairless dogs” had mystical healing powers and named them after the god of fire and lightning, Xolotl. And while we can’t promise magic, we can promise Leo’s got a spark that’ll light up your life. Mom was a terrier.
Leo is still learning about the big wide world. New sights and sounds can be a little overwhelming, and he’ll definitely let you know with a bark or two. He takes his self-appointed role as “alert dog” very seriously. With continued, gentle socialization and positive reinforcement, Leo will gain the confidence he needs to shine.
He’s smart, curious, and full of puppy playfulness. He loves prancing around the yard with toys and wrestling with his sister. He’s warming up to other small dogs but still finds big dogs (and our shelter goats!) a bit intimidating. He’s been respectful and interested in our shelter cats.
Since Leo is a mix, we’re not quite sure how big he’ll get, but we do know he’ll grow into a loving companion in the right home. And while he’s mostly hairless, he’s not hypoallergenic so don’t let the smooth skin fool you! Speaking of skin, they require regular skin care, including moisturizing and sometimes sunscreen for sun protection.
Leo is microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to bring a little ancient magic and a whole lot of cuteness into your life. Are you the chosen one for our tiny, mystical “rat dog”?

AUSTIN - NM
DOB: 9/13/2024
Weight: 35 lbs
Breed: Rescued
Meet Austin! Austin came into rescue as part of an unplanned litter, surrendered alongside his siblings after their mom had a surprise pregnancy. While his early days were spent running freely in the quiet countryside, the transition to the wider, noisier world has been a big adjustment and Austin is still learning to feel safe in it.
Austin is especially shy and will need ample time, patience, and understanding to build trust. He’s a deeply sensitive soul who startles easily and takes things at his own pace. But when Austin bonds with his person, he bonds hard. He carries quiet loyalty and devotion that runs deep. Meeting him where he’s at is key; he’s not the dog who will immediately come bounding into your arms, but once he trusts you, he’s yours completely.
Austin recently had a sleepover with a family that included two older dogs and two younger children. He was incredibly respectful of the senior dogs and adored the kids. We think he’d do well in a similar home, especially with other confident dogs and respectful kiddos to show him the way.
A home outside the city is essential for Austin. He’s simply not built for the chaos of urban life and will do best in a peaceful, predictable environment. We strongly recommend working with a positive reinforcement-based trainer to help him work through his fears and continue building his confidence at a pace that feels safe for him.
Austin may be skittish, but he is also incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of potential. He doesn’t ask for much, just safety, patience, and someone who believes in him. With time, love, and consistency, Austin will blossom into the most loyal companion.
Austin is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and monthly preventatives. If you’re ready to open your heart to a dog who needs just a little extra help but has endless love to give, Austin is waiting.
