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.

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org. Hello! My name is Poe and my foster family tells me that I am the best boy!  I am house trained and although I'm not left alone a lot, my foster mom and dad trust me to have free roam of the house while they are away. I sleep in my crate at night, but if my forever home let me sleep in bed with them, I think I'd be cool with that. I do really well riding in the car and my leash skills aren't too shabby. I like stuffed animals and chewing on them is my favorite! My foster home has a fenced in yard where I love to run around, but that is not a requirement for me as long as I have other outlets to get my exercise in. I do get spurts of energy, but I'm not the kind of guy who is in constant go-mode. I am really happy chilling on the couch or in a comfy dog bed. I currently live with cats and other small dogs. I needed an adjustment period to learn boundaries with them and now we live happily together. My foster parents believe that I'd do great as an only pet too. I don't live with kids now and I think responsible and respectful kids would be ok. I sometimes have a lot to say and shared walls wouldn't be the best fit for me. I am treat and food motivated and I get overly excited for breakfast and dinner time. If my forever home took me to a training class, I bet I would be a wonderful student! If you think I sound like I could be the guy for you, apply to meet me. I'd love to see if we are a match! Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online forms here as well.  ##2562895##

Story
Hi, my name is Mitsi and I am from Minnesota. From her foster: Mitsi is an absolute bundle of love and joy. She has a few quirks, but wants nothing more than to love on and please her humans! Three words to describe Mitsi: goofy, sidekick, loving. Her hobbies include: Receiving scratches from you, following you around the house, sitting on your chest, and going for walks and car rides. Her special talents: Mitsi would join a dogsledding team if she could. She loves the snow and exploring outdoors. She would make a great hiking and patio buddy in the summertime! Her bed manners are impeccable- she sleeps right next to our pillows through the night. She is a quick learner who is eager to please, and is one smart cookie. Things Mitsi's people should know: She is working on her confidence and is being so brave! We can already see that she is going to become a laid-back and social girl once she feels at home with her forever family. Her dislikes include: grooming shears, showers, baths, running water (loves snow though!) and sudden movements. She will benefit from ongoing training for confidence building, desensitization to grooming sensations and sounds, and trust building with her new family. Are you looking for a goofy sidekick who will give you every ounce of love in her body?

Story
Hi, my name is Sophie, and I am from Minnesota. From her foster: Sophie is a sweet, mellow little dog who loves people and likes their attention. She will cuddle for short periods but clingy doesn't describe her. She likes to find her own special, unique places to hang out and take naps. Sophie is well behaved in the house; she rarely barks. She will let you know when she wants to go outside or when she's hungry by making funny little noises. Sophie loves being outside and going for walks on warm days. In colder weather she wears a sweatshirt and a coat to keep cozy warm. She is cautious around bigger dogs, but over time she's gaining courage around dogs she sees regularly. Having been unused to stairs before, she now jumps up the step into the house but hasn't mastered the longer stairs yet. Sophie is ready to wiggle her way into your heart. Are you ready to meet her?

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 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 per-sonal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you! Kala is a 5 year old, 22 pound female Shih Tzu/Bichon mix. She is a gorgeous caramel color and has beautiful long eye lashes. She came into rescue because her owner moved into an apartment which didn’t allow dogs. Kala enjoys going for walks and usually walks about a mile per day. She is very friendly and respectfully greets people and other dogs while on walks. She will sometimes play fetch with a ball or tug a war with one of her toys. She does like exercise, and runs outside to chase the resident rabbits and squirrels around the yard. A secure, fenced yard would be ideal for her. Kala is very sweet, well behaved, housetrained, and knows a few commands such as “sit” and “down”. She loves being with her foster parents and other people and will sit on your lap at every opportunity. She is good around other dogs and children, and would be a wonderful family dog. A family with older children who know how to engage with a small dog will be considered. Kala does require someone be at home with her the majority of the time and who will include her in their daily activities. She rides well in the car, and likes looking out the window, so hopefully her family will take her with them when appropriate. She likes nothing better than to be with her people, and that includes sleeping with them in their bed. These are the requirements for Kala’s new family: 1. Be home much of the day and include Kala in their daily activities. 2. A fenced yard would be wonderful, but is not a deal breaker, especially if Kala will be taken on long walks every day. She must have daily exercise to be happy. 3. A family with older, respectful children will be considered. 4. Live within 30 miles of Inver Grove Heights, MN. 5. Try to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held in September each year. Kala is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She has a history of urinary tract infections, which can recur, so her family must recognize the signs of an infection and have it treated immediately. Kala’s adoption fee is $370.00 plus $33.39 sales tax for a total fee of $403.39. To meet Kala, 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.
