Story
Every minute matters when it comes to rescuing a Shih Tzu.  We may get a short notice that someone needs to surrender their dog or a puppy mill dog needs a temporary home. We can’t help if we don’t have families willing to foster, and we are always in need of more foster homes! If you live in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area and want to help save lives, please complete either our online Foster Sign-Up or download a word version here: http://www.northstarshihtzurescue.org/foster/ (please note: neither dog pictured are available to foster or adopt, both are in their forever homes) NorthStar Shih Tzu Rescue exists to benefit both Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs and the people of our community. We operate as a no-kill rescue that provides rescue and adoption services, and meaningful outreach programs in order to advance the welfare of these companion animals, to serve and educate our community, and to make a positive, loving impact on the lives of both. NorthStar, located in Excelsior, MN, actively works to rescue Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs from dangerous environments and shelters with the ultimate goal of placing them in loving, permanent, adoptive homes. We rescue unwanted, abandoned, and abused dogs. We have them vaccinated, micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, provide other medical care, and rehabilitate them in carefully selected foster homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on the benefits of adopting an animal in need as well as responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, good nutrition, and positive behavior training. We strive to increase public awareness about companion animal overpopulation, commercial breeders, and to offer solutions to end the killing of adoptable animals. We work in alliance with local animal shelters, pounds, other rescue groups, and humane society organizations to ensure these animals are not forgotten.

Story
Sadie is 5 years old and weighs 11 lbs. She is white and red in color. Sadie is up to date on vaccines and is spayed and just recently had a dental and just finished all her meds.   She has been dealing with alopecia, but it is under control and now has no hair loss.  You will need to continue giving her Omega 3 and a healthy diet.  If there’s a reoccurrence of hair loss she may need to see a vet dermatologist. Sadie is a sweet little girl.  She’s very loving and scared at the same time as she came from a mill.  She snuggles up to her foster at bed time and needs to be close. She gets along with her pups and isn’t aggressive at all.   Her personality is just now coming out, she gets so excited when she sees her foster  and when it’s time to eat and at snack time.   When she wags her tail her whole bottom wiggles, so cute.     She will follow you around when outside and keep a close eye on you.  Sadie isn’t fully house trained, she loves to mark, but since her spay, it has reduced.  In the house we still use doggy diapers.  She’s still learning the word NO.  More training will be required, along with leash training.   She loves to be called a good girl. She gobbles her food, and tends to throw it up afterwards, so until she slows down on her own, she will need a Slow-Feed Dog Bowl.   The perfect home for Sadie;      Someone who will enjoy her as much as she will enjoy you.  Preferably someone who is home a lot.  No small children but older is fine.   An established dog in home to help teach her how to continue to be a dog.  She watches her fosters dogs and catches on fast, but she is still adjusting to a home and humans.    A calm home is best.  She loves to sleep in bed, a crate is not recommended     Sadie will feel more comfortable sleeping in your bed.  She doesn’t like to be alone.  We have enjoyed and love fostering her.     If you think Sadie might be the perfect fit for you, please apply!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 8, 2024, 12:11 am

Story
COOPER 2.0 I'm Cooper, a 2 year old Shih Tzu Poodle blend with energy, goofiness, and lots of sweetness! I will do well with walks and snuggles with my people. Because of this I would do best in a home with older children as I jump on my people with excitement. My foster is working on this behavior, I do obey the command "OFF!", but sometimes I can't contain my excitement. I also am very vocal about letting my people know when someone or something is going by. I will need a calm home with people who can give me consistent rules to obey. I am happiest when I'm snuggled up with my people while they watch their TV shows at night, and love to cuddle up with them on their bed. I am very obedient, know Sit, Stay, & Off. I'm housetrained when I'm on a schedule.  Don't be confused by my photos, one is before I was groomed, and the other is after. I like either haircut - I'm adorable either way! I would do well in a home with either no other dogs (so I don't have to share my people) or one other dog. No cats - I tend to chase them.  My adoption fee, including MN state taxes, is $429.10. I'm available to adopt within a 50 mile radius of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/Saint Paul. For more information about me, please submit an adoption application and my foster mom will be in touch. Please click  here  to fill out an online application.

Lyric

Labrador Retriever Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 yrs 11 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $460, plus tax Location: Foster Home Lyric aka Mama is as sweet as they come! She's is ready to join you on your couch and be the ultimate couch potato best-friend. Lyric came to us from Atlanta Georgia, where she was found abandoned with her puppies in a trailer home. For as rough as her life has been, she is the sweetest dog around and ready to find her forever home. Lyric uses her big pointy ears to listen to us tell her how much we love her about 50 times a day! She "melts" when anyone wants to pet her in a bid to get some tummy scratches. Although she is a bigger dog, she is the perfect mix of couch-potato and walk enjoyer. She is incredibly gentle and would make a good fit for any home with other dogs as long as she has a good, slow introduction! Lyric did undergo Heartworm treatment, but she has since been treated and is ready to go home! Lyric is about four years old, she is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in giving Lyric a chance at a new life, please submit an application on Carver Scott Humane Society today!

Pippin

Miniature Pinscher Rat Terrier

Male, 1 yr 3 mos
Chaska, MN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Adoption Fee: $460, plus tax Location: Foster Home Pippin was found in a good Samaritans yard one day with no tags and no chips. Not having seen him before, the finders spend the afternoon and evening walking him around to the neighbors to see if anyone knew where he had come from! After hanging on to him for the 10 day stray hold, Pippin came to us, and is now looking for his forever home. Pippin has been evaluated by a behaviorist due to his tendency to people guard and his leash aggressiveness. He has taken great strides with the help of Giffy Dog Training and his foster, who has been dedicated to help Pippin reduce his stress level. Once Pippin gets comfortable with a person, he becomes a ride or die! Pippin is in need of a single dog home who can keep up with the training that is needed for him to become the best dog. If you are interested in learning more about Pippin, fill out an application at www.carverscotths.org
