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! Calling all couch potatoes! Gemma is an 8 year old Shih Tzu who weighs a little over 13 pounds. There is nothing she loves more than to be snuggling by your side for a nap and hopefully for some soft pets! Gemma always stays close to her foster mom so she definitely needs a family that will with her most of the day. One of her favorite parts of her day is time spent outside! Gemma loves short walks outside and loves to sit in the grass to watch people passing by or to even just sniff all the glorious smells. Her foster mom thinks Gemma is perfect for a lucky adopter who wants a constant companion, indoors and out. Gemma came to into rescue because her owner had gone into hospice care. It is obvious that Gemma was well loved by her former family. She is a sweet and loving girl, who is friendly and gentle to everyone she meets. Gemma is house trained which is a real plus! She does have a little separation anxiety so she barks for a few minutes when you leave her. But then she lays down by the door to wait for your return! Gemma does have a hind leg that has a congenital deformity. The leg is very stiff and does not bend at all. However, don’t feel bad for Gemma! She doesn’t let her leg stop her from taking short walks with her foster mom or running up and down the three flights of steps in the house. Gemma will even jump up on the couch. But as she ages it would be best if she was lifted up onto furniture, so her adopters must be physically able to do so. Even now she sits and give her foster mom the Shih Tzu stare in the hopes she will be lifted up on to the couch! Gemma is a special girl who wants a perfect home and family. Here are the requirements for her new family: · Gemma needs family that is home most of the day. She can be left for short periods, such as a couple hours running errands, but needs to be with you much of the time. · She has been okay with older children who have visited her foster mom, but her permanent family should be adults only of one or two people. · Gemma gets along with her foster mom’s Shih Tzu, and would be okay living in a home with another small dog, but she would also thrive as an only dog, getting all of the attention. · Gemma is housetrained for going potty outside. She sleeps through the night in her foster mom’s bed and will want to sleep with her new family since she loves to cuddle up near your feet at night to sleep. · Family should live within 40 miles of the south metro area and commit to attending the Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September. · Gemma’s last and most important requirement is LOVE, lots of LOVE! She had that with her last owner, and we want to be sure she receives that for the rest of her life. We understand there are quite a few requirements for Gemma’s new family. But if you meet the requirements, you will have abundant joy with this sweet girl. Gemma is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. She will have a dental on August 25th and then will be ready for her new home. Her adoption fee is $320.00 plus $28.88 in sales tax for a total of $348.88. To meet Gemma, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see her and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us at the rescue’s Meet and Greet from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon the first Saturday of every month at Chuck & Don’s, 8537 Lyndale Avenue S., in Bloomington, MN.

Story
Bandit is a sweet Shih Tzu mix with a laid back personality and a real appreciation for the comfortable things in life. His favorite spot may very well be stretched out on the back of a chair, relaxing and keeping an eye on everything around him. He is potty trained, walks well on leash, and sounds like an easy little guy to have around. Bandit is bonded with Bingo, and these two best friends need to find their new home together. Bingo and Bandit live with other dogs, have lived with cats, but would do best in a home with no children. They already have each other for company, and now they just need someone willing to give them both a soft place to land and plenty of love for their next chapter. 💛 Adoption fee is $450+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Bella is a sweet Shih Tzu/Bichon mix who loves being close to her people. She is happiest curled up in your lap, tucked in beside you on the couch, or just hanging out nearby while you go about your day. She is housetrained, walks well on leash, and does well with other dogs. Bella has that wonderful little companion dog personality and seems to be happiest when she has someone to love and a cozy place to relax. Bella lives with other dogs, has lived with cats, and would do great with respectful children of any age. If you are looking for a sweet, affectionate little shadow to keep you company, Bella may be exactly what you have been waiting for. 💕 Adoption fee is $450+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Age: 5 years old Weight: 13 pounds Dog friendly: Yes, requires companion dog in the home Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes, older considerate kids only Potty trained: Yes, good on a schedule Crate trained: Yes Hi, my name is Beau! I am about 5 years old and am such a gentleman. My favorite hobbies are going for long walks with my humans, watching TV on the couch with my humans, playing ball in the backyard with my humans - you can probably sense a theme… I love being with my people! I'm a great houseguest, too! I know to go potty outside, have excellent manners, don't get into things I shouldn't, and patiently wait my turn for treats and meals. My foster family says I'm an easy dog to live with because I settle in nicely, do well independently, and enjoy being part of the daily routine. I’m brave, confident and very outgoing. I am learning how to play gently and not with my mouth, so a house without young kids would be best for me because I don't want to accidentally play too rough. Walks are one of my favorite parts of the day, so as long as you can take me on my daily walks, I won’t require a fenced-in yard. I'd also love a playful canine sibling to romp around with during the day, but my favorite company will always be my humans. At night, I like to sleep in my dog bed next to the big human bed, but I always love to hop in bed for a cuddle before we all fall asleep or right when we wake up. When I’m home alone, I hang out in my crate, which is new to me but I’m getting the hang of it pretty quickly. I would prefer a home where I don’t have to be crated for long periods of time though. If you're looking for a dog who's affectionate, smart, active, and full of love, I would be honored to be your sidekick. I can't wait to find a forever family to share life's adventures with. Adoption fee: $695

Story
My name is Peter Parker... and yes, I'm kind of a superhero.My origin story involved running down the side of a busy highway, apparently convinced I was invincible. (Spoiler alert: I wasn't.) Thankfully, a kind human swooped in and rescued me before I could star in the world's shortest action movie.These days I've traded highways for couches, and I have to say... it's a major upgrade.I'm a 9-pound, one-year-old Shih Tzu mix who's 100% house trained, kennel trained, and absolutely loves people. If you sit down, I'll happily volunteer to be your lap warmer.Kids? I'm a huge fan. Whether they're playing, snuggling, or handing out belly rubs, I think they're pretty awesome. I'm gentle, affectionate, and happy to be part of the fun.I'm also a professional toy enthusiast. Squeaky toys, stuffed toys, tennis balls... if it bounces, squeaks, or can be tossed across the room, I'm all in. I could play for hours and will happily entertain both of us.And here's my favorite thing.. I LOVE other dogs! Whether it's wrestling, chasing toys, or zooming around the yard together, having a canine buddy makes life even more fun. I'm a friendly little guy who's always ready to make a new four-legged friend.I've already survived enough excitement for one lifetime, so now I'm looking for my happily-ever-after—a family who will love me forever, keep the toy basket full, and maybe give me a dog sibling to play with.Your friendly neighborhood Peter Parker is officially accepting applications for a lifelong family. 🕷️❤️--------------------------------------------***FOSTER TO ADOPT*** Peter Parker is in our Foster to Adopt Program because he is not yet neutered. His neuter will be coming up soon. If you are interested in adopting Peter Parker, please fill out an Adoption Application.
