As an all-volunteer rescue organization, we are approached from many sources asking that we accept a relinquished pet, a stray, a shelter animal.

accept pets that have been loved and nurtured by owners who are now too elderly, or ill to continue their care. Some come from young families who, after the arrival of their children, decide that their pets are no longer a priority, and no longer have time to care for them. There are good samaritans who pick up the strays, then call us for help. And, of course, we work in close harmony with many shelters throughout the country, saving as many pups as we can from euthanasia.

Have you ever wondered where the unsold pet shop puppies go when they are no longer "cute" babies? Or what happens to their parents, the breeding dogs living in commercial breeding facilities, when they stop producing? How about the adult dog who is never properly housetrained, or left home alone for long hours, and then held responsible when he has an accident on the new carpet? Often wonderful adult furbabies have been replaced by new puppies. One wonderful terrier girl came to rescue because she barked at the fish tank! We have taken in dogs who have been abused by children and then discarded when they try to defend themselves. And, there are the little ones whose humans can not afford to provide necessary, often lifesaving medical care.

We evaluate, heal physical and emotional wounds, spay or neuter, train, modify behaviors and genuinely love each and every dog in our program. Shih Tzus & Furbabies is resolved to provide a loving and nurturing home where each dog will receive the attention it needs and deserves until a worthy "Forever Home" can be found. How about it?
