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.

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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Theo is a 9-year-old Shih Tzu mix who weighs approximately 13 pounds. He is a sweet, snuggly lap log who loves to be near his humans! He would love a family that lets him sleep with them overnight. He is a gentle soul in search of a family to love him in his retirement years.   Theo is very close to being potty-trained when kept on a schedule, but he does have occasional potty accidents. He will need a family who is patient with him while he continues to build consistency with housetraining. Theo does not enjoy spending time in his kennel. He is very vocal when in there, but does well with free roam, so there is really no reason to kennel him. Theo is also vocal when there are new people in his space and he likes to alert his foster family when they have visitors. For this reason, shared walls might not be the best fit for his forever home. His fur will require regular grooming, but what handsome old man doesn't deserve a good spa day?!?    Theo has luxating patellas in both of his knees. The vet does not recommend surgical intervention at this time, but it is something to watch in the future. Currently, Theo should continue taking a glucosamine supplement.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website www.wagsmn.org and fill out an Adoption Application.  Once the application is processed, a Wags representative will contact you, answer any questions you may have, and set up a time/location for a meet and greet!  A home visit is required prior to adoption.  Thank you for choosing to adopt! Breed and temperament determination:  Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue attempts to determine breed and temperament using a combination of looks, information provided to us at intake, and our experience with the animal while in our Rescue.  We do not guarantee this determination.
