Shih Tzu Rescue Some great news: Yorkie/Maltese pups Mimi and Fifi Rose as well as energetic sweetheart Teddy Bear were adopted this past weekend. Congrats to the three :) Stay tuned for more good news...

Mimi Rose & Fifi Rose (can be adopted individually)

Perfect little balls of puppy love and energy. T...he sisters came in together, are 4 months old and about 8 lbs. Will probably be about 15 lbs when full grown. Super silly gals who have no idea they aren't at doggie camp. Will bring lots of love and laughter into the right home.

Shih Tzu Rescue Trudy Girl is a rock star! She has an award winning personality. She LOVES
life and is so thankful to be safe at Shih Tzu Rescue. She came to us from
a generous veterinarian who took her in, treated her for sarcoptic mange, spayed her and then contacted us to get her a home. None of us have ever met a little girl qui...te like Trudy girl. She makes us all remember how rewarding rescue work is. This has been quite a team effort and she has been worth every bit of it. She loves everyone, loves running around the pond with volunteers and would make a great companion for the right humans who will appreciate this wonderful, energetic little soul! She is 3 years old and weighs 12 lbs.

Shih Tzu Rescue Lucy Lou was adopted this past weekend by a wonderful couple who have a Lhasa boy named Niki. Congrats Lucy!!

Lucy Lou

Lucy is just a sweet girl looking for a forever home. Lucy was a pampered pooch until her ow...ner was diagnosed with Alzheimer and she no longer had anyone to give her attention she was used to. When Lucy was discovered she was covered in flees and her hair was matted but after a full day at the groomer and a check-up at the vet, she came alive again and has blossomed into a sweet, happy and healthy girl. She is 8-9 years old, is heartworm free, spayed and housebroken. Lucy loves to sleep on your lap or just stay with you while watching TV. She wags her tail to everyone so you will definitely make friends when walking her to the park or around the block. To the lucky person who gives Lucy her forever home - you will in return get unconditional love and her full attention, she will certainly let you know how happy and grateful she is.

Shih Tzu Rescue Check out the video of Tybee & Sanibel, our current spotlight dogs! Sanibel came in with her protector and best friend Tybee, both 3 years old. Tybee is a
love, pure sugar and is completely devoted to Sanibel. He takes care of her
and is her guide in life as Sanibel is blind. Tybee weighs 14 lbs and
Sanibel is a tiny... little sweat potato who weighs 5 lbs. Sanibel is going to
be going to the eye specialist in the next couple weeks to see if we can
do anything for her eyes. She is a little gem and such a love. These
two are what rescue is all about. For pictures, detail and application please visit: http://www.shihtzurescue.org
