“Second Chance” – Ziggy

Ziggy came from a hoarding house with over 50+ cats. Several of the cats did not make it, but Ziggy was lucky enough to find rescue. He came to us with an infected eye and very rotted teeth. He had four teeth left in his mouth that needed to be removed. He was able to...

We are convinced Joey was a model in his past life!! 🕺🥰

Bronco is still looking for his forever home so we wanted to take a moment to reintroduce him.

Bronco is an 11 year old Shih Tzu who weighs 14 lbs. He is fostered by Reed's Rescue in Parkton, MD.

Bronco is the ultimate companion dog—sweet, loyal, and full of character. He’ll follow you everywhere you go and loves being close to his people, especially if there’s a lap available for napping.

He’s also quite the talker! Bronco doesn’t bark much, but he grumbles—adorably. His foster family says he tells bedtime stories, complete with silly sound effects.

This dapper guy walks like he owns the block and enjoys his strolls without fussing over other dogs. He does great with small dogs, and while he hasn’t lived with big dogs or cats, he’s handled his foster home's barn cat antics with comedic flair.

Bronco is house-trained, loves to cuddle, and just recently started playing with toys. He eats Hill’s Science Diet Small Paws with a little canned food on top (because, why not spoil him?), and he’s a fan of green beans, fresh strawberries, and kiwi.

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who’s equal parts snuggle bug and quirky character, Bronco might just be your perfect match.

To adopt Bronco, visit reedsrescue.org.
