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.

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! Hi, my name is King, I am five years old and weigh almost seven pounds. I came into rescue from a breeder, where I unfortunately was kept indoors my entire life. So I haven’t been potty trained, or even learned about how wonderful being able to go outside and explore can be. But it’s been a bit cold, so my foster mom is helping train me on potty pads, and will go out for longer periods when the weather is a bit warmer. Because I led such a confined life, everything is new to me so I’m a little scared and nervous. I didn’t know what it was like to have a human touch me gently, but after a few days I let my foster mom pet me. Now I sit close to her and love her gentle touches. I had never walked on a leash before, but now a pro at it and am a fast learner. I enjoy other dogs and ideally I’d like a home with another dog so I have someone to play with. A home with a fenced yard would be super, but I would also be fine living in an apartment because I’m such a quiet little guy and can be somewhat of a couch potato. I’m too little to get up and down from furniture, and stairs are a new thing for me, but I’m a quick learner. Because I’m pretty shy, my new family must understand that I’ll need time to become comfortable in a new home and with new people. But with a little time I’ll be your snuggle bug, and want to be right by your side. I’ll greet you by running in circles and wagging my tail. I’ll also want to sleep with you. I spent most of my life in a kennel; it’s traumatizing for me, and I will cry or bark if you put me in a kennel. These are the requirements for my new family: 1. A quiet, adults only family who is home much of the day. 2. King is not housetrained, and his new family must be understanding and commit to his continued training. They must also understand that he has never been exposed to much of anything and will gradually introduce him to new situations and experiences. 3. Another small dog in the home would be great because King enjoys the company of another dog. 4. Agree to never put King in a kennel. 5. Live within 30 miles of Hopkins, MN. 6. Attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September. King is scheduled to be neutered and have entropian surgery within the coming weeks. Once he has recovered, he will be ready to go to his new home. He is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. His adoption fee is $370.00 plus $33.39 sales tax for a total of $403.39. To meet King, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see him and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon the first Saturday of every month at the Southtown PetCo in Bloomington, MN.

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. Meet Prince, who is an 8-year-old brown and white Shih Tzu Teddy Bear (part Shih Tzu and part Bichon Frise). He is fairly large at 30 pounds, but is not overweight and he does actually think and act like a "Teddy Bear". He is soft and cuddly and very gentle. He has been with one owner his entire life, but his owner has now gone into a retirement home and is unable to care for him. Prince is used to being with someone at home 24/7 and we will be looking for a family who is home all day. Prince enjoys daily walks, and one of the best things about Prince is that he is reliably house trained. He will definitely tell you when he wants to go out and if you ignore him, he'll keep trying to tell you. We hope his new family will have a fenced yard in which he can explore. He sleeps in his own bed at the end of his foster mom's bed but every once in a while, he jumps up onto her bed and curls up to go to sleep . PRINCE enjoys people and would be comfortable in a home with any number of individuals, including older, well behaved children. As mentioned, he is a gentle dog, and will greet other dogs, sometimes licking them with affection. He would be okay with another dog in the house as well. These are the requirements for Prince’s new family: 1. A family where someone is home almost all day. 2. A family with children over the age of ten who have experience with respectfully interacting with dogs will be considered. 3. A fenced yard would be great, but is not a deal breaker. If his new family doesn’t have a fenced yard, they must be able to walk him daily so that he has a chance to enjoy the outdoors. 4. Allow Prince to sleep on their bed if he chooses. 5. Would be fine being in household with another small dog. 6. Live within 25 miles of Edina, MN. 7. Try to attend the annual Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion held each year in September. Prince has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventive. His adoption fee is $320.00 plus $28.88 in sales tax for a total of $348.88. To meet Prince, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph.

Story
Hi, my name is Sophie, and I am from Minnesota. From her foster: Sophie is a sweet, mellow little dog who loves people and likes their attention. She will cuddle for short periods but clingy doesn't describe her. She likes to find her own special, unique places to hang out and take naps. Sophie is well behaved in the house; she rarely barks. She will let you know when she wants to go outside or when she's hungry by making funny little noises. Sophie loves being outside and going for walks on warm days. In colder weather she wears a sweatshirt and a coat to keep cozy warm. She is cautious around bigger dogs, but over time she's gaining courage around dogs she sees regularly. Having been unused to stairs before, she now jumps up the step into the house but hasn't mastered the longer stairs yet. Sophie is ready to wiggle her way into your heart. Are you ready to meet her?

If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.org. Hello! My name is Poe and my foster family tells me that I am the best boy!  I am house trained and although I'm not left alone a lot, my foster mom and dad trust me to have free roam of the house while they are away. I sleep in my crate at night, but if my forever home let me sleep in bed with them, I think I'd be cool with that. I do really well riding in the car and my leash skills aren't too shabby. I like stuffed animals and chewing on them is my favorite! My foster home has a fenced in yard where I love to run around, but that is not a requirement for me as long as I have other outlets to get my exercise in. I do get spurts of energy, but I'm not the kind of guy who is in constant go-mode. I am really happy chilling on the couch or in a comfy dog bed. I currently live with cats and other small dogs. I needed an adjustment period to learn boundaries with them and now we live happily together. My foster parents believe that I'd do great as an only pet too. I don't live with kids now and I think responsible and respectful kids would be ok. I sometimes have a lot to say and shared walls wouldn't be the best fit for me. I am treat and food motivated and I get overly excited for breakfast and dinner time. If my forever home took me to a training class, I bet I would be a wonderful student! If you think I sound like I could be the guy for you, apply to meet me. I'd love to see if we are a match! Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org.
