Story
Date of birth: 12/12/25 Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Rue is the biggest (relatively) of the litter, and she knows it. She's confident and will get what she wants, which is all the attention and all the love. She's often the center of a wrestling match or cuddle puddle and is more than happy to climb into a lap or a pile of toys. Rue is a well balanced pup that will thrive in any loving home. This fluffy family was born into rescue to a Shih Tzu mama and Havanese dad who are both with Healing Hearts and who both have lovely, social personalities. They have been raised with dogs ranging from 9 to 90 pounds, cats, and respectful kids, and are comfortable with all of them. They have been introduced to potty pads, as they are too little to deal with the current weather outside, and are learning quickly. These beauties will be amazing companions and will be ready to go to their forever homes on February 6th, when they turn 8 weeks old. Adoption fee: $895

Story
Date of birth: 12/12/25 Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Yes Hazel is a thoughtful girl behind a stunning face. She takes her time to scope out a new situation before diving in, but once she commits, she's all in. Her favorite friend is a huge lab mix, and she loves to share her toys with him. Kisses and cuddles are also high on her priority list, and she follows her teenage human foster brother around like a duckling. Hazel is going to make a stellar best friend and loving lap warmer!

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
Hi, my name is Oscar! Oscar is a sweet and cuddly dog. All he wants in life is to please his person/people. He gets along great with dogs, cats and kids of all ages. He walks well on leash, is crate trained (he does prefer to sleep with his people in bed though), and potty trained. He is interested in marking in the home, but does great wearing a belly band. He does extremely well to please you, so he quickly listens and is easily redirected. He bonded quickly to our resident dog and cat. His favorite thing in life is to cuddle. He loves to hang out on his back with his belly exposed. If you're looking for a sweet, well mannered, and cuddly companion, Oscar is your dog!
