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
Luna (also called Tuna) is a very good girl and deserves a great home! We rescued her in 2020 when she was about 1 year old. Tuna LOVES to snuggle in bed (or anywhere) and likes hunting for mice in the yard. She is great around cats, chickens, kids and most dogs. She is not okay off-leash at dog parks. Luna’s excitement can be misinterpreted by defensive dogs in off leash areas and has caused dog fights in the past. She is NOT an aggressive dog, but she plays very rough! We are choosing to rehome her as we have 3 very small children. She has never bitten anyone and is good at growling to warn others if she is uncomfortable. She is a very affectionate girl and a great dog and we would love to see her find a home with humans who have a lot of time and love to give her. Luna has a limp from slipping on Ice last winter (we think). It comes and goes. She has been prescribed a doggy NSAID for it.

Story
Louie is a 6 year old black mini labradoodle that is 30 lbs. We got him from a breeder in Ellsworth, WI. Louie is very healthy and fit. We give him tick medicine monthly, brush his teeth every night, brush his hair (he does shed some), clip his nails, give him regular exercise, etc. He has regular vet check ups and has all of his necessary vaccines. He is a high energy dog. He is very lovable and loves adults and some dogs that he is familiar with. He does not like to be approached by other dogs when he is on a leash. Louie attended puppy kindergarten through Augusta Dog Training and was sent to a month long board-in through Augusta when he was 2 years old for training with socialization and general training. He is very obedient and a good listener. We can have him off leash on hikes and he stays by us. We have to unfortunately rehome him because he is not getting along with our 14 month old daughter. We know he will thrive with a different family dynamic. He is a great dog.

Story
I am looking for a foster or forever family! Please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org if you can say YES to fostering this animal! Select the "Apply for Adoption" if you would like to adopt Hi, my name is Laklyn and I am from Georgia! From her foster: This pretty little lady will warm your heart. She is a huge snuggler and loves lots of attention. She also is very goofy and a bit clumsy, but that just adds to her sweet and calm disposition. She will be hard to say goodbye to. From the Vet: Laklyn was evaluated at The BB Vet Center shortly after arrival, she has completed treatment for a mild eye infection. The main concern for her was we noted she has a tendency to stand on 3 legs instead of all 4. We took radiographs of the rear leg she holds up in the air and the veterinarian noted deformities/inflammation consistent with Panosteitis or "growing pains" commonly associated with the long bones in large breed dogs. She may hold up her leg from time to time, however she is regularly using the leg normally and is still a high energy happy girl!

Story
Hi, my name is Barbie and I'm from Minnesota. From her foster: Meet our special girl Barbie a cuddle enthusiast and car ride champ who is a bit of an adventurer. (flight risk and fence jumper) She is house trained and is a great eater and whilst she loves other dogs she will throw in a little bark just to keep things in check if play gets rowdy. She would do well in an apartment she is quiet and low key but must have a female household where there is limited activity. Barbie also known as Crumbles needs to be in a women only household she is afraid of men and was returned from a previous adoption because she was scared of men living there. Walks well on a leash will make a great companion easy to manage best kept on a leash outside and double leashed especially in the first weeks whilst she is learning to trust you.

Story
Hi, my name is Saffron and I'm from Northern Minnesota. From his foster: Saffron is a sweet, cuddly boy with an incredibly loving nature. He adores being close to his people and loves to curl up in a lap and sleep after running around. He’s a smart pup who’s curious, attentive, and picking up on daily routines. He has a very playful, spirited personality that adds to his charm. When playtime winds down, Saffron settles nicely and enjoys calm, cozy moments. At night, Saffron sleeps in a crate attached to a larger pen and does a great job settling in and sleeping most of the night. He’s been doing well with a puppy setup that includes pee pads and would continue to thrive with consistency and gentle guidance as he grows. He is also getting good at whining by the door when he has to go potty.
