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

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 that 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! Starla is a confident, playful, and affectionate two year old, 16 pound Maltese-Shih Tzu mix with a heart full of love to give. Starla came into our rescue via another rescue in Iowa. It is thought that she was given up because she required hip surgery due to a previous injury, possibly being hit by a car. She’s adjusting well to her new foster home and is ready to find her forever family. Starla is confident, playful, and loving. She enjoys sitting on laps and is a true cuddle bug, always seeking close contact with her humans. Sleeping in bed with her family is heaven for her. She loves playing with other dogs and can be found whining trying to get her senior foster brother to play! Starla is an active girl who loves to play and engage with her family. She enjoys running around the yard and would thrive in a home where she can get plenty of exercise and stimulation. She does well with walks but is still learning proper leash manners. A fenced yard would be ideal for her to burn off some energy. Starla is doing great with house training but there may be some accidents as she adjusts to a new home. Starla knows a few commands like sit and stand. She’s very smart and quick to learn, making her a great candidate for further training. She would benefit from some behavioral training, but she is treat-motivated and eager to please. Starla would thrive in an active home, preferably with a family who enjoys outdoor activities. She will do well in a home with children over the age of ten who have had experience interacting with a small dog. She gets along well with other dogs and would love a small canine companion who has a similar energy level. Starla recently had successful hip surgery (femoral head and neck excision) and is recovering well. While she’s already bouncing around more than she should, she requires at-home therapy to support her recovery and won’t be available for adoption until the first week in February. But applications for her adoption are being accepted now. Depending on her stage of recovery, her new family may need to continue performing some in-home therapy after adoption. These are the requirements for Starla’s new home: · Starla needs a family who can provide her with plenty of daily exercise and playtime, including long walks. A secure fenced yard would be ideal. · A family who is home much of the day and will include Starla in their daily activities. · Starla recently had hip surgery and her new family may need to continue with in-home therapy for a while after her adoption. It is imperative that her new family commit to doing so. · A family with children over the age of ten who have had experience with a small dog will be considered. · Starla would enjoy another small playful dog in the family, but it is not a deal breaker. · Starla loves to cuddle and be near her people, and sleeping in bed at night with her family members is a must. · Hew new family should live within 30 miles of Roseville, MN and be willing to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue reunion every September. Starla is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She may need to complete at-home therapy after her adoption depending on the healing of her hip and her new family must agree to do required exercises. Her adoption fee is $420.00 plus $35.81 in sales tax, for a total cost of $455.81. To meet Starla, 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 the Southtown PetCo in Bloomington, MN.

Are you looking for a best friend? A sweet dog, that is adorable and just a little bit shy? If you are, I am your girl! My name is Daisy Mae. I am 5 years old, and weigh 8 pounds. Everyone thinks I am cute as I always wag my tail and will roll over for a tummy rub once I know you. Daisy came to our rescue after her owner passed away after a serious illness. This past year, Daisy spent all her time inside and had to rely exclusively on potty pads. Her foster mom is now frequently taking her outside for potty and Daisy is doing a well at learning to go “potty outside”. Daisy had a very sheltered but loving home before she came into rescue. Now she needs to learn to enjoy walks and outside activities, and to socialize with people and other dogs. Her future family must commit to providing time for Daisy’s outside experiences and socialization. Daisy is a bit shy at first, but as soon as she knows you all is well and she is very happy. Sitting by you on the couch or sleeping at the foot of your bed are Daisy’s favorite past times. Daisy has really benefited from having another small, calm dog in her foster home. So her foster mom is looking for a home that will give her a canine friend as a companion and to also help Daisy learn how to be a more confident dog. She needs a quiet, calm household with adults only. Daisy will be adopted to a family within the Twin Cities area, no more than 40 miles from Burnsville, MN. Daisy is a very special girl who wants a perfect home and family. In order to ensure that, here are the requirements that are required for her new family: • Daisy needs a family that is experienced with dogs and will continue to help her with training and socialization. This means time devoted to her socialization/training and learning other important doggy behaviors, such as leash walks outside, exposure to new, safe experiences, and lots of ear scratching and belly rubs. • Daisy’s new home should include another confident, small dog who will help her learn by being a role model and friend. • An adults only family that works from home or is home much of the day would be best for Daisy. • Daisy 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, although she can does not require this overnight. She will definitely want to sleep in bed with her new family as she loves to be near you! Daisy is not crate trained, but does just fine in a gated area when family is gone. • Daisy’s new family should live within 40 miles of Burnsville, MN and commit to attending the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September. We understand there are quite a few requirements for Daisy’s new family. But if you meet the requirements, you will have abundant joy with this beautiful girl. Daisy just had a dental, is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Her adoption fee is $320.00 plus $27.28 in sales tax for a total of $347.28. To meet Daisy, 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! Penny is an 8 year old, 10 pound Shih Tzu mix. Sadly, her previous owners gave her to our rescue because they had a new baby and couldn’t manage the challenges of a baby and caring for a dog. It was the only home that Penny knew since she was a puppy, but she has adapted well in her foster home and is ready to find a family who will love her for the rest of her life. Penny wants to be wherever her foster parents are, and enjoys going on walks with them, playing fetch in the house, and especially enjoys roaming in the back yard, so a fenced yard would be great. She is a friendly, smart little girl and when prompted, will bring toys to her foster parents, and comes when called. She is treat motivated, and learning new things comes easily to her. But she also loves to snuggle with her foster parents under the blankets and is a cozy partner in their Lazy Boy chair. She is curious and is always ready to start the day at a very early time, so hopefully her new family are early risers! Even though Penny is a very active girl, she is quiet, other than letting you know when someone is at the door. She doesn’t like to be kenneled, and really hopes to be able to sleep with her new family in their bed. Penny is house trained, but as with all dogs, needs to be let out regularly and should not be left for long periods of time. Penny was not raised with children and does not do well with them, so an adults only family who is home most of the day is ideal for her. She is a good passenger in the car, and likes to look out the window, and a family who will take her with them in the car would be great. Penny does not engage with her foster parents’ dog and may be okay with another small dog in the home, but would probably do best as being the only dog. Penny is a happy, fun, loving, delightful little girl who will be a cherished addition to the right family. These are the requirements for her adopters: 1. An adults only home where someone is home much of the day and who will include Penny in their daily activities. They must be able to take her on walks and provide lots of play time. 2. Another small dog in the house would be okay, although being an only dog might be best for Penny. 3. A secure, fenced yard would be wonderful, but is not a deal breaker 4. Penny has a sensitive stomach and must eat prescribed food. She currently is eating Royal Canin GI. Her family must continue to feed her the prescribed food and not give her people food. She also has allergies, and her adopters must ensure that she receives a monthly Cytopoint injection for her allergies. This is for the rest of her life. 5. Must live within 30 miles of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. 6. Commit to attending the Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota held each year in September. Penny is spayed, will have a dental on January 8th, is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She is healthy, although she must eat food prescribed for her sensitive stomach and receive a monthly Cytopoint injection for allergies. Her adoption fee is $270.00 plus $23.02 sales tax for a total of $293.02. To meet Penny, 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! Meet Addie (Addison) - a pint-sized bundle of happiness! This 9-pound female Shih Tzu is proof that the sweetest things come in small packages. Despite being small in stature and with the littlest legs, she zooms around her foster parents’ house like she's training for the Olympics. At 4 years young, she's well educated in some important indoor manners. Addie is working on house training and has a PhD in Professional Cuddling as well as a Master's degree in Belly Rub Appreciation. She has a sweet personality and beautiful black and silver coat. Some of her favorite activities include sleeping on the couch while you watch your favorite show and gazing out the window. Addie also loves to explore the backyard but hasn't quite figured out what to do on a leash. She rides in a car very well and gets along with other small dogs, cats and well-behaved older children. Addie was previously owned by a breeder and has had some puppies. Although she can be a little shy at first, she is well socialized and warms up very quickly. If you are looking for a compact companion who is equal parts affectionate and silly - she's the one! The following are requirements for Addie’s future family: 1. An adults only home were 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. 2. A family who will continue exposing Addie to new experiences, such as teaching her to walk on a leash. 3. Provide Addie with plenty of daily exercise and stimulation, including walks and supervised time in the yard. A secure, fenced yard would be ideal. 4. A home with another small dog would fine, but she would also love to be the sole focus of the family. 5. Live within an hour’s drive of Minneapolis, MN. 6. Agree to attend the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September. Addie is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She does have a cataract in her right eye, and the rescue is consulting with an ophthalmologist to evaluate the health of both eyes and determine future treatment options. The rescue will coordinate this with the adopter if future steps are to be taken. Her adoption fee is $370.00 plus $31.54 sales tax for a total of $401.54. To meet Addie, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph.
