My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Perry is an active, spunky young guy that we consider the class clown. He is always on the go and ready for a good time. He is good with dogs but a proper introduction is needed. He will need someone that can be active with him and get his energy out. His new family will need to teach with consistency and have some patience while he is learning the new rules of the house.

Perry is about 1 year old and is happy and playful. He takes a minute to warm up and may bark a bit at new people but once he gets to know you (which happens prttty quickly) he will be yours forever! He is about 9 lbs and loves to play with other dogs. He loves sleeping in high places and is always in a “lookout post” when resting or relaxing.

His adoption fee is $375. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his shots.

Please note that we receive many applications for each dog and we are processing each one of them in order to find the perfect family that will be a great fit for them.

IF APPROVED AND YOUR FAMILY IS THE BEST FIT,
WE WILL CONTACT YOU VIA E-MAIL WITHIN 3 DAYS and arrange for a Meet and Greet with all family members who will be living in the home (2 and 4 legged!)

We do not contact potential adopters to tell them that the pup they applied for was adopted. We encourage you to do your due diligence in checking our adoption pages or Facebook page to see who has been adopted and who is still available.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are a Not for Profit, foster and volunteer based private rescue which means we do not have a brick and mortar building to visit our rescue animals.

All of our rescues live in an "in home" rescue or with their foster family to provide a safe and quiet family life which in turn makes it easier for them to transition into their forever homes. They receive love and attention, learn how to cohabitate with other dogs and sometimes cats, house training, medical care (if needed), grooming etc.

We process all of our applications to be sure to match up the right family with each of our rescues. Once a match is found, we contact you right away, and set up a meet and greet.

We do not contact you if your application was declined and your family and life style was not the right fit to meet the needs of the rescue pup you applied for.

** Please note that we do not adopt out of the state of Arizona **

During the cooler months, we have Meet and Greets at:
our rescue home base near the 51 Freeway and Greenway road OR Roadrunner Park located at 32nd Street and Cactus conveniently located right off State Route 51 in Phoenix. We work with your schedule, so meetings are done 7 days a week.

More about this rescue

Arizona Shih Tzu Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non Profit dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of Shih Tzu as well as small purebred and mixed breed dogs.

We rescue Shih Tzus as well as other small breeds such as Lhasa Apso, Poodles, Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Bichon, Schnauzers, and Terriers. We rescue pure as well as mixed breed dogs of all ages...and have been known to take a bigger dog or two....and a few kittens that strangers have dropped off at our doorstep with no where else to go.

Many of our rescues are "medical needs" dogs - meaning they come to us in significant medical need as a result of long term abuse and neglect.

We believe that somewhere there is a famiy for every dog, but that we have a responsibility to place our dogs into homes that will best meet their needs both physically and emotionally. We look for people with patient and loving hearts and an understanding of the furbaby mind.

Abuse, neglect, irresponsible breeding, puppy mills, financial difficulties, changes in family circumstances, births, illness and death of guardians are all contributors to the large population of homeless dogs and some of the reasons we find so many dogs in shelters and rescue groups.

Look at all those little faces on our web site and then ask yourself, "Why should I adopt a rescued dog?"

We are also committed to educating potential adopters about the importance of ethical, responsible and humane pet guardianship. We have the unique ability to train 'littles' that are deemed untrainable. We also provide grooming services and boarding.

We are a Private, Not for Profit 501(c)(3), all Foster and Volunteer based Rescue. We do not have a physical brick and mortar building for you to visit, so we do not have paid Staff.

** Please note that we do not adopt out of the state of Arizona **

Everything we are able to do is made possible by our volunteers. Volunteers who donate their time to foster, visit, clean, feed, play and/or walk our rescue "kids".

We also are able to rescue solely because of the money that comes in the form of Adoption fees and your donations. Our adoption fees and donations go directly back into the rescue. It is with this money that we are able to rescue the next little one that finds him or herself without a home.

And for that we are grateful to you.
