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

Story

Hi! My name is Cassidy and I am from Missouri. I am a 5 year old Shih Tzu. I am a little shy, but so eager to please! I get excited when I can get some pets from people, I like to bounce around and wag my tail! I would do best with another friendly dog in the home to show me around :) From her foster: Cassidy has the sweetest face and most gentle eyes! Cassidy is timid, shy and is fearful around people. However, with each day she is becoming more curious and seems to be gaining confidence with her surroundings. The best part about Cassidy- she is the ultimate cuddle bug! Since day one she has been falling asleep on my lap once she feels comfortable. She is the greatest lap dog as she is so chill and loves her sleep! She is also a non-shedding girl, which is great for those with allergies! Potty training is a work in progress, but she succeeds with consistency and frequency. She likes her crate and dog beds/blankets as a safe space and also sleeps in the crate or on a dog bed overnight. We have been doing one or two potty breaks at night and that has been successful. Cassidy is a quiet girl and hasn't made a single noise since we brought her home (even when our resident dogs are barking). She would do well in a house without other dogs, or with chill, smaller dogs. I would also recommend a house without small children, as she is skittish around quick movements. Cassidy would do well in a quiet, calm home where she can come out of her shell at her own pace. With some patience and love, I know this sweet girl will be an excellent addition to your family!

Story

I am looking for a foster or my furever family. If you can foster me please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org If you are interested in adopting me please complete the adoption application on my profile. Hi! My name is Shirley and I am from Missouri. I am still pretty terrified of the world and looking for a furever family that will be patient with me while I learn that the world is not a scary place and humans are kind. I spend most of my time hiding right now, and have shown improvement coming out and doing little tail wags, but after my most recent vet appointment I am back to being a very scared again. I know my furever family is out there and they will be willing to give me the time and space I need to come out of my shell and show you how great of a pup I can be.

Story

daily walk and plenty of interactive playtime. Her family must be able and willing to provide this for her every day. 2. A small, playful dog of equal energy would be great for Bella. She enjoys playing with another dog and thoroughly enjoys other canine companionship. 3. A fenced yard would be a bonus, but is not a deal breaker. Because Bella loves to run and explore, she would enjoy a secure area in which to do so under supervision. 4. A family who is home much of the day and will include her in their daily activities. Bella attaches easily to her people and just wants to be with them. 5. An adults only family; children over the age of ten who understand how to interact gently with a small dog will be considered. 6. A family who will understand, be patient, and continue helping Bella with her house training. She is doing well while in foster care, but it is not guaranteed that she will be housetrained when she is adopted. 7. Adoptive family should live within 45 miles of the Twin City area so Bella’s foster mom can schedule a home visit. 8. Adoptive family must commit to attend the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion of Minnesota held in September each year. Bella will be available for adoption near the end of November due to necessary upcoming surgeries. But applications for adoption are being accepted now. She is scheduled to be spayed November 11th. She is currently in heat, so her spay had to be postponed for two months for medical safety. At the time of her spay she will also have her left cherry eye repaired. as a red, swollen mass on the lower eyelid near the nose resembling a cherry. The official name is a prolapse of the third eyelid gland. To meet Bella, 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

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!
