My story

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

Location: GA/TN (transport to an approved home in certain areas)



Please read post in its entirety before applying



Chinese Food Litter
ALL GIRLS
(Mochi, Lychee, Rangoon and Wonton)
Shih Tzus
8 weeks old
Good with dogs: Small dogs only
Good with kids: Over 12
Good with cats: not sure and no way to test
Housetrained: not yet
Crate trained: not yet
Leash trained: Not yet
UTD on vaccines: Yes
Spayed: Will be before going home



 



A few things we have learned and researched (thanks to our foster). Shih tzus carry a gene for wire hair. It's recessive and bred out of the breed and its unusual to have a phenotypically wire shih tzu ("Prapso" Shih Tzu, a natural short-haired variant, which is distinct from the standard long-haired coat).



Being the smallest of the 4, she loves to observe and watch what her sisters are up to before jumping in. She is cautious at first but loves cuddles more than anything once she gets to know you.



** Our Puppy Adoption Policy & Senior Adopters**



We absolutely adopt to seniors and value them deeply in our rescue community.
In fact, we encourage adopters age 70 and older to consider adult dogs (5+ years) — they often form the most beautiful, well-matched partnerships and truly thrive together.



Why not puppies?



Puppies require many years of intensive care, including:



Daily training and socialization
Significant physical activity
Ongoing veterinary care
Long-term contingency planning for the next 15+ years



Because of these lifetime needs, we place puppies only in homes where long-term stability and planning can be confidently met.



For this reason, we do not place puppies with adopters over the age of 70.



This policy exists solely to protect the lifelong welfare and stability of the dog — never to diminish the value or capability of senior adopters.



Disclaimer:
Adoption decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the rescue’s mission to act in the best interest of each animal. Policies are not intended to be discriminatory and are applied solely to ensure lifelong placement and welfare of the dog.



We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors

More about this rescue

We are a 100% foster based rescue based in TN but do adopt out of state. We pull from many states with fosters in those states.
Although the name is new, we, the founders and board members have been rescuing for over 16 years(working with other rescues).
Each of our dogs live in a home environment, some with cats, some with kids and mostly with other dogs.
