Areas Southern Shih Tzu & Toy Breed Rescue serves
We are located in central AL and LA- we post our dogs in metro areas and states in the northeast- WHY? we get very few adoptions in the south and have to post our babies in more metro areas or northern states in order to find them homes (allowing us to save more lives) Most rescues in the north transport their dogs in from the south before they are adopted (to parking lot adoptions some straight from shelters)- we prefer not to transport them until they're going to a forever home- after they've been in foster care and have a clean bill of health from the vet- We can tell you all about their personality, habits and social behavior- They are transported via PETS, LLC a professional transport service that charges $150- we have used them for years ! ALL dogs travels with a health certificate -

First Step in the process is to submit an online adoption application! Home visits are done at our discretion and in most adoptions.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
