Are you looking for a petite Shih Tzu that is adorable, charming and a little silly too? My name is Pearl. I will be 2 years old in June, weigh 6 pounds and have beautiful, soft and silky black hair. Everyone thinks I am cute as I always wag my tail and like to give kisses. When I first came to my foster home, I was not accustomed to a harness or leash. Now I love to put them on because it means I get to go outside! I love to go for walks in the neighborhood with my foster mom and her dog. I like to stop and watch the people and the bunnies and squirrels. Actually, I am learning to watch and NOT chase the bunnies and squirrels! Because I have not had a lot of exposure to people and things in the environment, I have a lot to learn. I adapt well though, if you give me time and you are patient! My foster mom is also happy that I am learning to go potty outside! If she forgets to take me outside I get right up in her face and kiss, kiss, kiss to let her know I need to get outside! Pearl is very sweet with a little tomboy thrown in! She is a bit shy at first, but as soon as she knows you, all is well and she is very happy. Pearl will need to continue to learn basic dog obedience and gain confidence, so she would really benefit from formal obedience/socialization training. Pearl does love to please and is a smart girl that learns quickly! If you are willing to give this little girl time and love, she will be your best friend forever! Pearl could be happy in a home with another small, playful dog or as an only dog. If there is not another companion dog in the family Pearl needs a “human” companion who will be with her much of the day. She needs a quiet, calm household with adults and possibly school aged children who are experienced and respectful of dogs. Pearl is a very special girl who wants a perfect home and family. In order to ensure that, here are the requirements that her foster mom expects for her new family: • Because Pearl is an active two year old and Shih Tzus can often live 14 plus years, she must be placed with an age appropriate family who can fully care for her for her entire life. Pearl would like an active family that is experienced with dogs and will continue to help her with training and socialization. This means time devoted to her training and learning other important doggy behaviors, such as leash walks outside, exposure to new, safe experiences, and lots of ear scratching and snuggles. Pearl would love to be included in as many family activities as possible. • Pearl can be in a home with another confident, small dog who will help her learn by being a role model and friend. However, she would also do well as an only dog as long as she has opportunities to learn to socialize with other dogs on walks or other family activities. A family that works from home would also be wonderful for Pearl. • Pearl is not fully trained for going potty outside. Her new family needs to understand this and must take her out every couple hours during the day. Pearl does sleep all night though, without having to go potty outside. She will definitely want to sleep in bed with her new family as she loves to cuddle! • Pearl’s new family should live within 40 miles of the south metro area. Pearl is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Her adoption fee is $470.00 plus $42.42 in sales tax for a total of $512.42. Her foster mom would like her new family to attend our Rescue Reunion held each year in September. To meet Pearl, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see her and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon the first Saturday of every month at Chuck & Don’s, 8537 Lyndale Avenue S., in Bloomington.

Story

In addition to the following profile for this dog, please first read the Adoption Information at http://www.shihtzurescuemn.org/adopt.html to understand the process, requirements and timeline for adoption. An adoption application can also be found in the Adoption Info section. If, after reading the information you have any questions, please submit your question via e-mail and it will be answered. Please do not request a phone call. A personal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you! Zoey is a six-month-old Shih Tzu/Maltese with a playful spirit. She’s currently learning to play fetch, is extremely curious, and can also settle into a calm, relaxed companion when the moment calls for it. Zoey appears to be okay with children who understand how to interact gently with small dogs, and she absolutely adores being cuddled. Zoey would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely explore and burn off some of her puppy energy. She will need a family committed to enrolling and participating with her in puppy training classes, as continued guidance will enable her to grow into a well-mannered adult dog. She needs continuity and a regular routine in order to become potty trained. She will require going outside every 3-4 hours and also be on a regular feeding schedule. Zoey enjoys daily walks and currently sleeps peacefully through the night in a crate placed right next to her foster family’s bed. That said, she would happily trade that setup for a cozy spot sleeping with her forever family in their bed. The following are requirements for Zoey’s adoption: 1. Since Zoey is still a puppy and small dogs can live 16+ years, applications will only be accepted from age-appropriate individuals who will be able to provide the activity, care and comfort that Zoey will need for her entire life. 2. Someone who is home much of the day, since Zoey needs continued house training. She also thrives on the companionship of her humans. 3. A family who will actively participate in puppy training classes with Zoey and will provide the physical activity and stimulation that a puppy requires. Having a secure, fenced yard would be ideal. 4. Applications from a family with children over the age of ten who have demonstrated an understanding of and have experience in gently interacting with a small dog will be considered. 5. Live within 30 minutes of Fridley, MN. 6. Agree to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held in September of each year. Zoey is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. However, she has not been spayed yet because she is currently in heat. She will be spayed once her heat has subsided. But we are currently accepting applications for her adoption and she can go to her new home once she has recovered from her spay surgery. Zoey’s adoption fee is $520.00 plus $46.93 in sales tax, for a total of $566.93. To meet Zoey, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see Zoey and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 a.m. to noon the first Saturday of every month at the Chuck & Don’s, 8537 Lyndale Avenue S., in Bloomington.

Coconut is an adorable, fluffy 9 pound, 6-month-old white Shih Tzu Maltese mix. This sweet little girl is full of sunshine—happy, playful, and always ready for fun! Coco is a true puppy at heart. She loves her toys, zooming around in a fenced yard, and playing with other small dogs. She’s affectionate, energetic and curious, so she would thrive in an active home with someone who enjoys daily playtime, walks, and exploration. She’s also very good with children and was gentle and receptive when she met them. Because she’s still a young puppy, Coconut will need an adopter committed to basic puppy training, potty training reinforcement, and gentle guidance as she grows. She’s smart, eager to please, and will make a wonderful companion for the right family. If you’re looking for a fun, loving, small-breed puppy to add joy to your days, Coconut is waiting for her forever home! The following are requirements for Coconut’s future family: 1. Because small breed dogs can live 16+ years, applications will be accepted only from age appropriate individuals who will be able to provide activity, care and support for Coco for her entire life. 2. A home where someone is home much of the day. Applications will be considered if there are children in the home over the age of ten and if they have had previous experience in gently interacting with small dogs. 3. A family who is patient and will continue Coconut’s house training and leash training, and will expose her to new dog appropriate experiences. 4. Provide Coconut with plenty of daily exercise and stimulation, including walks and supervised time in the yard. A secure, fenced yard would be ideal. 5. Another small dog in the home with similar energy would be great, because Coco enjoys playing with other dogs, but she would also be fine as an only dog. 6. Live within an hour’s drive of Minneapolis, MN. 7. Agree to attend the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September. Coconut is, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She is scheduled to be spayed on May 7th and will be microchipped on that day.

Please do not request a phone call. A personal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you! Looking for a little man to keep to be a great companion? Nico could be the one for you! He is full grown at 4 years and only weighs in at 5.6 pounds. You won’t find a calmer, sweeter guy who loves to be held and have his tummy rubbed. But, don’t let him fool you as he does love other little dogs and he will often run and follow them all over the house. He adores his tiny little soft toys. He throws them up in the air and then will grab them and run to hide them under blankets and dog beds! It is so cute. At night Nico curls up in bed with his own fluffy quilt right next to you. He will go in a dog bed, but really prefers to be next to you or his foster dog brother in your bed! He is learning to walk on a leash and every day we go out and practice a few times in the yard and throughout the neighborhood. Be prepared to pick him up if you want to walk fast or go on a longer walk…he just can’t keep up and may tire easily at this point. But he will build up some endurance as he becomes accustomed to walking more. He also loves to stop and look at all the people and houses and action a neighborhood provides. He has learned to go up stairs but with his short little legs it is a chore for him, so his foster mom often will just carry him up. Going down is way too scary for him right now, but he can learn with further practice. Housetraining is a work in progress also, but he does know that he needs to do his business when he goes outside. He is very good about that, so he is taken out first thing in the morning and then about every 4 hours after that. He has had no accidents in the house for several days now! Nico appears to be very smart and wants to learn and please you. He has 1 or 2 treats he loves, and is treat motivated, so he has been easy to work with. Nico currently lives with a Shih Tzu foster brother, who is setting a good example for him in the home. If he has another well behaved and trained dog in the house it will been much easier for Nico to learn tasks and disciplines from him—he follows the other dog’s lead! Nico would be a good travel buddy as well. He does very well riding in a car. He is used to riding in the seat next to you on a plush blanket secured by a seat belt harness. He is very healthy and is up to date on vaccines and neutered. His teeth are also in great shape! His only health quirk is that because he is so tiny and has such a pushed in face, he lightly snores a bit, tires easily, and be overcome by high temperatures outside and on walks. This is what Nico will require in a new adoptive home: · Patience and calmness to continue all of his training and socialization. · A quiet home but one in which there could be another small dog for his companionship. · Someone who is home much of the day or can come home every 4 hours or so; but someone with another little dog for his companionship would be ideal-especially if you had to be gone often. This little guy needs company. · Because of Nico’s very small size, a quiet, adults only home would be preferred. But applications will be considered if children are over the age of ten and have demonstrated experience in gently interacting with a very small dog. · Live within 45 miles of Bloomington, MN. · Commit to coming with Nico to our annual Rescue Reunion Picnic in September. Nico is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. His adoption fee is $420.00 plus $37.91 sales tax for a total of $457.91. To meet Nico, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph.

Please do not request a phone call. A personal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you! Obi is an eleven-year-old male Shih Tzu who weighs almost 18 pounds. He was very loved in his previous home by a couple who moved into assisted living and who unfortunately could not take him with them. When Obi was a newborn puppy he had to be bottle fed, which caused some nerve damage in his tongue. Consequently, his tongue hangs out. It just makes him more adorable and isn't causing him any trouble. But it seems to be easier for him to eat and drink out of a flat bowl. He is a very hungry guy and will let you know when he needs more food! Obi has dry eye, which is common Shih Tzus, and he needs daily eye drops. He's very good while his foster mom is applying the drops to his eyes. Obi is a low-keyed guy and enjoys cruising slowly around his foster mom's fenced backyard. He enjoys shorter walks and likes to turn around once he goes potty. He could probably lose a pound or two, but that can be achieved via diet, because he’s not into a lot of exercise. He prefers to sleep on rugs instead of in dog beds and is happy to just to hang around with his people. Obi was a little shy at first of his foster mom of her and her two small dogs, preferring to hang out in another room. Each day he became more comfortable and has moved closer to them. He has been an only dog his entire life and prefers that. He does well on his own while his foster mom works from home, sleeping most of the day except when he gets really hungry or thirsty or when he's on a daily walk or two. He is house-trained but still enjoys marking and sniffing outside and on walks. He rides well in the car. These are the ideal requirements for Obi’s new family: 1. A quiet household that is home most much of the day, and will spend time with Obi. 2. Be able to administer his daily eye drops. 3. Be the only dog in the household. While Obi tolerates other dogs, he is not really happy with other dogs living in the house. 4. Live about 75 miles from New Brighton, MN. 5. Willing to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue reunion held in September each year. Obi is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. His adoption fee is $220.00 plus $19.86 for a total fee of $$239.86. To meet Obi, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph.
