My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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 personal phone call will only be made when an adoption application has been submitted and the foster parent wishes to consider the application. Thank you!

Madison (Maddie) is a beautiful gold and white female Shih Tzu. She weighs only ten pounds, is six years old, and is a bundle of energy. She was turned in to rescue because she was being abused by a two year old child in the family. She began to bite the child because it was the only way she could defend herself. Other than her fear and dislike of small children, Maddie is very sweet and good with adults and older respectful children. She gets along with her foster brother and sister Shih Tzus. She enjoys riding in the car and playing with her toys, and entertains herself very well. She prefers men, and follows her foster dad around the yard and likes to sleep next to him in his chair. Maddie loves to go for walks and meet new people. She does not like to be brushed or combed, so it is best if her grooming is left to a professional groomer. Maddie is house trained and is well behaved, but needs some help with her basic commands (come, sit, stay). Maddie will be an excellent companion for adults with a man in the house and with people who are patient with training her.

Maddie is in good health, has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, has been microchipped, and is on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. Her adoption fee is $270.00, plus sales tax of $19.64, for a total of $289.64. Her foster parents would like her adoptive home to be within 75 miles of the Twin Cities and encourage her adopters to bring Maddie to the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held in September every year.

To meet Maddie, please complete an adoption application. 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 1:00 PM at the Minnetonka Petco near Ridgedale the last Saturday of every month.
