Story

Chewie is approximately 18 months old, hypo-allergenic, LOVES to walk. Chewie is an obedient, loving, companion dog. He's smart and desires to please, and is very patient with dogs his own size. We have another dog who is 8 years old that has medical issues. Chewie needs supervision/training for interactions with larger dogs. He gave chase to our outdoor cats when he first arrived, but now he just sniffs them and walks past. He has had some exposure to 2 year old, 9 year old, and 14 year old boys with no problems. It is with great sadness, I feel I need to re-home Chewie due to a death in the family, and our older dog's medical issues are requiring substantial care (though stable). Chewie needs continued training for separation anxiety, but a bark collar and Prozac have given him much relief. Chewie is a sweet friend who is sure to melt your heart as he snuggles you!

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

Kylea is a sweet girl learning every day! From her foster:   Kylea is shy and scared at first but when she came out of her shell, we found she loves to be petted and loves lap time.   Very sweet little girl and will be a very loyal dog.  She does best with a routine and repetition to help learn new skills, (she learns best by repeating a behavior.)  She barks when I come home or from upstairs or hears my voice, a happy bark. She sleeps all night in our bed.  Kylea would be best in a home with someone who is home a lot.  No small children but older is fine.   An established dog in home to help teach her how to be a dog. She watches her foster siblings and catches on fast, but still adjusting to a home and  humans.   A calm home is best.  She loves to sleep in her fosters bed, a crate is not recommended, she will chew at the bars.  She has an old jaw injury from where she came from and lost  many teeth during her dental, softer food is best for her.  Toys aren't a favorite of her, loud squeaky toys scare her and bones are not advised with her jaw injury.  She has dry eye, many Shih Tzu's do, and has daily eye meds for it. Leash walking will need to continue to be taught and a yard with a fence is a must, as she is an escape artist. She should not be crated, as she came from an environment where she was in a small crate 24/7. She follows her foster sibling around, this is her way of learning since coming out of the mill, and learns by repetition and seeing what other well behaved dogs do. If you feel Kylea would be a good fit, please apply for her in the link.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 18, 2024, 12:13 am

Story

Hi! I’m Solomon, or “Sollie” as my foster parents call me. I’m a confident, friendly guy who is looking for my perfect home! A few things to know about me, so we can see if we are a match! As I said, I’m a confident dog who like to take the lead and can be a bit stubborn, but once I’m comfortable I’m sweet as can be! I’m living with some other foster dogs right now but honestly, I could take them or leave them. I might be happiest being the center of your universe! I’ve also been lucky enough to see some farm animals and they don’t really interest me either. I love, love taking walks and that is something I would love to do a lot of. I’m good on a leash, but please use a harness for me because I get excited and pull sometimes which is hard on my little neck. I can be a little bitey if you’re trying to make me do something I don’t want to do or if I’m nervous, so living without little humans who might not respect my cues is probably not the best fit. I love to sit by you and cuddle, and I’m good if we just have a movie night although I will entertain myself with toys if you provide them! My foster family says I’m really well housetrained, but I did have a couple accidents the first day just because I was nervous. Since then, I’ve been sure to let them know when I need to go out and haven’t had any accidents at all. I slept in a crate the first week and although I didn’t love going in there, I was good once I was in. But, I much prefer sleeping in a bed next to my foster mom’s bed where I can curl up and get cozy. I don’t love being left alone, and I will whine or sing a bit and maybe even try scratching the door for a minute to see if you will come back. But eventually I will just settle down and make myself at home on the couch and wait for you. Because I do love to sing sometimes I would probably prefer not to have any close neighbors like in a townhouse or apartment. Thanks for checking me out and I look forward to meeting you!   ##1990293##

Story

Hi, my name is Bella!  The first thing you should know is that I will follow MY human everywhere. If sit down, I will sit right beside you and cuddle any chance I get. Oh, and I like to help keep the house clean- I'm told this is one of my best features. For example, if we’re outside and the ground is wet when we come inside, I will wait for you to dry off my paws before I go walking through the house. I also spend the nights in my kennel and not complain. In the mornings sometimes you’ll hear me like a tiny alarm clock waking you up, but I’m not very loud. I also know that the first thing we do is go outside. But this is where I have a little bit of trouble because, although I know to use potty pads in the house if I have to go, I don't aways remind my foster mom to take me outside... except in the mornings! My foster mom does this really weird crazy dance outside when I actually do go potty and it makes me laugh. I love being outside when the weather is nice, especially when it means going for walks with my human. I really just want to be with you and when I'm out in the yard without structure, I get a little too caught up with all the things around me. My foster mom says I bark at the wind. Together, we are working on that and I am trying really hard to bark less. If we go for a walk, though, I’m much more focused and I enjoy seeing all the things there is to see, plus it's great bonding time!  This is Bella‘s Foster mom and I would recommend that Bella be the single dog in a household. She is currently fostered with my resident dog and she shows no interest in socializing. Bella will play by herself with her own toys, but does not engage with my dog at all and tells her to go away if she tries to come around to play. She also prefers a quieter household with no children. It does seem that some sudden movements still spook her which does cause her to snap at you a little bit. The potty training has been coming along a little slow, but she is progressing very well. She was obviously trained in her previous life to use potty pads so I think going outside is just a new experience. She does great in her kennel and sleeps through the night or if you prefer, she is a great bed partner as well. All in all, it has been really fun having Bella here. She has the softest fur and most beautiful big brown eyes and just wants to be with you any chance she gets. When she gets that burst of energy and she wants to play, she will grab her toy and just run through the house like a little mad woman and you can’t stop laughing. She truly is a little spitfire ##2008779##
