Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Did I catch your eye? Learn more about me by reading my profile below; I just might be your new best friend! Apply on our website ( https://www.healingheartsrescue.org/adopt )  to  set up a private meeting or check below for my adoption event schedule. Age: Approximately 10 years old Weight: 18 lbs Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: TBD Kid friendly: Yes Potty trained: Good on a schedule Crate trained: Working on it I have fostered a few dogs throughout the last couple of years, and have fallen for all of them. My current foster boy is Lucas. He has stolen my heart. He had a beautiful story. Living with a caring owner along with his mom, and two brothers. Spending time with him, you know he was well cared for and loved. Unfortunately, he lost his owner. When that happened he, his brothers and mom found themselves in a shelter, and then eventually rescued by Healing Hearts and brought to Minnesota. How confusing It had to be for these four pups. Lucas also had an unexpected medical situation that came up a few weeks after arriving. He was brought to the vet, and they confirmed that Lucas had lost his sight. They say that dogs adjust very well, and I have to say, he really has! He is able to navigate quite well, jumping into the bed, walking around the house finding his way around the yard. I keep an eye when he is outside, and if I feel he’s trying to find me, I call his name. He comes running. I know Lucas is aware of all the changes. The evidence is that he needs his person. He finds security being with them. I feel the right home for him would be a place where he is not left alone for long periods. At this point it is stressful for him. Lucas is good with other dogs. We have two beagles, and they all get along well. He is also good around children. I think he is the perfect combination of chill and energy. He has become a wonderful shop dog (I have a retail store). He mostly takes it easy in his bed. But he is always up for a nice walk too! We usually go for a couple of miles together, and he seems to really enjoy it. He is great to hang out with and watch movies in the evening. A good snuggle buddy. If you’re looking for a best buddy companion, Lucas could be the right one for you. He really is such a sweet boy Adoption Fee: $425  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.INTERESTED IN MEETING ME?

Apply on our website ( https://www.healingheartsrescue.org/adopt )  to  set up a private meeting or check below for my adoption event schedule. Age: Approximately 2.5 years Weight: 19.80 pounds Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: unknown/not tested Kid friendly: yes Potty trained: yes, on a schedule Crate trained: yes Blaze is very sweet and he loves all people. Snuggle-time is one of his favorites. He likes other dogs but can sometimes get overly friendly and needs more help to understand their signals. Blaze is playful and loves his toys; he is also energetic and inquisitive and should be in a puppy-proofed environment. He's housetrained on a schedule and is accustomed to being crated when humans are not home, though he would prefer having free run of the house. He does well in the car and loves going on adventures. Blaze also loves going on walks and is used to wearing a harness. However, he would benefit from more leash training as he still likes to pull, especially when he sees squirrels or other dogs. He has not been around cats in his foster home but would probably chase cats that run or are not dog savvy. He might be able to coexist with a dog-savvy cat. He will bark or alert at strange noises and will bark when playing. However, he is not a persistent barker.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Craig was in a foster home for a couple of months before transferring to his current foster home. He had a jaw injury and ended up having surgery to remove part of his lower jaw bone.  He also has no teeth.  He is a good eater when food is softened by soaking kibble in water with a little wet food. Very treat/food oriented.  His food must have sufficient water added to it to ensure he is hydrated.  He does not drink water from the water bowl—-but it is always accessible to him. He is good at pottying outside on a regular schedule. If he gets excited his shooter may go off; so he does have occasional accidents.  They are becoming less frequent as I learn triggers. But routine serves him the best.  No accidents at night when in bed.  Truly a good boy!  Does not walk as his foster mom is recovering from foot injury.   His recall is not bad but not the best either (somewhere in the middle)   He is under foot so you need to walk with extreme care.  He wants to be by his person all the time. He’s very loving, easy to care for, trainable and not a barker. He is very friendly with everyone. Doors need to be watched as he will “scoot” when he has the chance!  He is a very pleasant dog to have around. His breed needs to be on a grooming schedule and he does well at the groomers!  He has character plus. He needs to be watched outside because he likes to chew plants.  I will truly miss him upon adoption!!   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, alter, prepaid microchip, dewormed, dental, jaw surgery,  Rabies vaccine, DAPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX , flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $250.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 3, 2023, 9:44 am

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
Lolli came into rescue as an owner surrender on 9/7.   He has an energetic puppy energy, being only 18 most old.  Walks well on a leash, telling you when he has to go outside and will let you know when he wants his own space. He would do better in a house with no kids or older kids who are respectful of him.   He loves to lay by his person getting petted, and likes playing with other dogs once he is comfortable with them. Taking walks is a must as he loves them, and he doesn't mind sleeping in his crate with this stuffed animal at night. Lolli doesn't love being left alone, so he needs someone who isn't gone 10 hours days.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2023, 5:06 pm

Story
Meet Harry! From his foster:    OMG!! Harry is the sweetest little fuzzball. He's great at cuddling and taking naps. Loves to play chase around the yard and try and catch his tail. He's fairly food motivated so training is going well, but he's still a puppy so he get's tired quick and distracted easily. He's mostly focused on trying to eat his brother's (same litter) ears. Mostly ignores our cat. What does Harry love? Playing chase around the yard, belly rubs and cheese.  Dislikes are- can't find a thing he dislikes! Harry is playful and cuddly.  He is 50% potty trained and walks okay on a leash, although being a puppy takes time to learn. He is good with his fosters 13 year old, but does puppy nip so may not be good with younger kids, but does love being around other dogs and has a cat he's living with right now. If you would like to adopt Harry please fill out an adoption application.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 2, 2023, 5:06 pm
