Furever Shih Tzu Rescue is a nonprofit 501c organization that is dedicated to placing unwanted and abandoned purebred dogs into new homes. All donations are tax-deductible. We participate on GuideStar, the on-line standard for nonprofit accountability.
The first step to adoption is filling out a written application. Once we review your application, someone from a local rescue will come to your home to meet you and your family. (We like to see where our dogs are going) Once you have been approved, you may begin meeting our dogs. Our Adoption fees range from $175 to $500 and are used to pay the vet expenses. All dogs are up to date on shots, heartworm negative, spayed or neutered and any known problems are treated before they can be adopted.(If you cannot afford the adoption fee, then you cannot afford to properly care for the dog. Please do not ask us to subsize your dog, we do not receive federal or corporate funding. All our vet costs come out of our own pockets!). Also... if your idea is to adopt a rescue Shih Tzu, because you don't want to pay a breeders price, please stop right here, because that is not what rescue is all about. Rescue is about giving a dog a chance who otherwise would not get one. Rescue dogs range in age from puppies to 13 yr. olds. Everyone seems to want the young dogs...so please consider opening your heart to an older dog. They are so much harder to place, and most often are the best behaved. They need homes just as much, if not more, than the younger dogs. If you have made it this far, and are still interested
We are an elderly couple who loves dogs. We are very parcel to Shih Tzu puppies. We have had 3 for at least 14 years each. That would be our preferred dog but are open to Other small dogs. This sounds like a great organization that helps both dogs and the owners.
