Story
Rescued: 7/19/2022 Age at the time of rescue: 3 years Current weight: 8 pounds What an amazing survivor! Cruiser has beaten the odds and is living his best life, but we know he deserves more than a shelter life. He was hit by a car and never take to a veterinarian for evaluation. His spinal column was crushed leaving him without the ability to control his bowel or urine heartbreakingly. He uses his diapers and is such a good boy! Full of energy, love and desire for life. He is fast in his wheelchair and loves running around. We are looking for a home that understands his challenges, but welcomes his passion for life. We provide him some special food to help with his challenges, but he's thriving! Fully vetted, sterilized and ready to fly home with his wheelchair! If you think that you'd be the perfect match for Cruiser, we'd love to talk to you! Cruiser is still on the island but we would love get him the forever home he deserves!

Story
Every minute matters when it comes to rescuing a Shih Tzu.  We may get a short notice that someone needs to surrender their dog or a puppy mill dog needs a temporary home. We can’t help if we don’t have families willing to foster, and we are always in need of more foster homes! If you live in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area and want to help save lives, please complete either our online Foster Sign-Up or download a word version here: http://www.northstarshihtzurescue.org/foster/ (please note: neither dog pictured are available to foster or adopt, both are in their forever homes) NorthStar Shih Tzu Rescue exists to benefit both Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs and the people of our community. We operate as a no-kill rescue that provides rescue and adoption services, and meaningful outreach programs in order to advance the welfare of these companion animals, to serve and educate our community, and to make a positive, loving impact on the lives of both. NorthStar, located in Excelsior, MN, actively works to rescue Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs from dangerous environments and shelters with the ultimate goal of placing them in loving, permanent, adoptive homes. We rescue unwanted, abandoned, and abused dogs. We have them vaccinated, micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, provide other medical care, and rehabilitate them in carefully selected foster homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on the benefits of adopting an animal in need as well as responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, good nutrition, and positive behavior training. We strive to increase public awareness about companion animal overpopulation, commercial breeders, and to offer solutions to end the killing of adoptable animals. We work in alliance with local animal shelters, pounds, other rescue groups, and humane society organizations to ensure these animals are not forgotten.

Story
Sadie is 5 years old and weighs 11 lbs. She is white and red in color. Sadie is up to date on vaccines and is spayed and just recently had a dental and just finished all her meds.   She has been dealing with alopecia, but it is under control and now has no hair loss.  You will need to continue giving her Omega 3 and a healthy diet.  If there’s a reoccurrence of hair loss she may need to see a vet dermatologist. Sadie is a sweet little girl.  She’s very loving and scared at the same time as she came from a mill.  She snuggles up to her foster at bed time and needs to be close. She gets along with her pups and isn’t aggressive at all.   Her personality is just now coming out, she gets so excited when she sees her foster  and when it’s time to eat and at snack time.   When she wags her tail her whole bottom wiggles, so cute.     She will follow you around when outside and keep a close eye on you.  Sadie isn’t fully house trained, she loves to mark, but since her spay, it has reduced.  In the house we still use doggy diapers.  She’s still learning the word NO.  More training will be required, along with leash training.   She loves to be called a good girl. She gobbles her food, and tends to throw it up afterwards, so until she slows down on her own, she will need a Slow-Feed Dog Bowl.   The perfect home for Sadie;      Someone who will enjoy her as much as she will enjoy you.  Preferably someone who is home a lot.  No small children but older is fine.   An established dog in home to help teach her how to continue to be a dog.  She watches her fosters dogs and catches on fast, but she is still adjusting to a home and humans.    A calm home is best.  She loves to sleep in bed, a crate is not recommended     Sadie will feel more comfortable sleeping in your bed.  She doesn’t like to be alone.  We have enjoyed and love fostering her.     If you think Sadie might be the perfect fit for you, please apply!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2024, 5:42 pm

Apply on our website ( https://www.healingheartsrescue.org/adopt )  to  set up a private meeting or check below for my adoption event schedule. Age: Approximately 5 years old Weight: 14 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Unknown  Potty trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Hi, I'm Alex and I'm a little jerk, In fact my foster mom calls me worse than that. That's how I know she's crazy about me, and she is! I'm too smart for my own good, but with my history, I didn't have a choice. I'm darn good at surviving for a little  guy. They're pretty sure I've had my jaw broken, but that aint no biggie. I have a big attitude and I let you pet me only when I feel like being pet. I say who! I say when! I know exactly what you want, even what you're thinking, but it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll tell you to go pound sand and sometimes I'll roll over for a belly scratch. Controlling my situation is what I'm about. I have learned that I can generally trust most people, but a guy still has to set some boundaries! I'm a great listener and I can read people's body language well, that doesn't mean I'll do what you want though, because as I said, I'm a little jerk. I am however highly food motivated so I can be coaxed to do things and even outsmarted now and then. I'll go in a crate for a treat and suffer through it if you're not home. But, if you're home, I'm screaming at you to let me out!  None of this put me in at night garbage, I like snoozing in a big comfy bed and I'll even give you permission to love me up when I'm there. What can I say? I'm a dude. I like other dogs, but little dogs can get on my nerves. They can be too needy and prissy. I'm a big dog at heart and I like hanging out with big dogs. They are my people and I like doing big dog things. I am potty trained unless you tick me off, then you never know what I'll do, so let's not go there. I don't do leashes, though my foster mom keeps telling me we're going to have to learn if I want to go out and walk with the big dog. I need a fence to keep me in though, otherwise I'll hit the streets and get into some trouble. My foster mom is also trying to teach me commands... as if? Like I'm going to perform on command! Good luck lady! She says there's a mushy marshmallow love bug inside me, but I don't know what that nutty lady is talking about. I do feel all gooey inside when she talks to me and pets me though. Anyway, if you're interested in a Shih Tzu with a big attitude who will definitely keep life interesting, you got my digits dawg!
