We adopt to the Lower 48, subject to state import rules for dogs. We offer free transport by air or road to most adopters.

About Lend A Helping Paw Shih Tzu Rescue (West Coast)
Our 501(c)(3) organization, Lend A Helping Paw® Shih Tzu Rescue (LAHPSTR), lends a helping paw to fluffy, small-breed dogs in need, particularly Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apsos. We are considered a rescue of last resort and primarily rescue the ones who are left behind. We rehabilitate them physically and emotionally so that they can have a fresh start and a bright future; we call it “a new leash on life“. Those dogs who are not readily adoptable stay in our Forever Foster “sanctuary” Program for the rest of their natural lives.
We do not maintain a physical shelter. All our dogs are in private foster homes across the US and cared for by experienced and dedicated volunteers who are deeply committed to healing the mind, body and soul of our little ones with love and patience.
Lend A Helping Paw® Shih Tzu Rescue provides top-of-the-line, white-glove veterinary care, including advanced diagnostics and specialist care if needed, to all our dogs to address their known medical needs. We believe that rescue is as much as about proper veterinary assistance as it is about placing a dog in an adoptive home. No animal is put to sleep because of medical expenses or the inconvenience of care.
Our adoption process is designed to select those people who have a loving, patient heart and are committed to continuing the nurturing of our dogs post-adoption. Our objective is not to adopt out large numbers of dogs, but to match each adoptable dog with the best home for them.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
