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

Lacey is excited to meet her new family! This beautiful pup is 1.5 years old and is approximately 45 lbs. She is sweet, cuddly, spunky, goofy and smart - the whole package. Lacey is spayed, fully vaccinated, potty and crate trained. She loves people (male/female/young/old), dogs (especially littles) and is indifferent about cats. She is snow white with tan spots on her ears and tummy and oh-so soft. She does great on a leash, in the car and likes water! Lacey has had no trauma and has had the same great owner for the last year with lots of love and training but for health reasons can no longer care for her. Lacey is 100% deaf but is ASL trained to sit, lay down and stay. She is a fast learner and picks up commands very quickly. She would do best with a fenced yard and a companion dog, preferably a male dog versus a female dog the same age and size. Let’s find Lacey the best forever home!

Story

Meet Champ, a striking 75-pound blend of Doberman Pinscher and Staffordshire Terrier, with a heart as big as his physique. This charming gentleman is on the lookout for a special lady to call his own. Champ takes his fitness seriously and loves to stay active. His long legs make him a fantastic runner, especially when he's bounding through winter snow on exhilarating trail runs. He's even a pro at solo fetch, enthusiastically tossing a toy and retrieving it with zest. Champ's game for a flirtatious tug of war, making him an excellent muscle-building partner. After a good workout, Champ indulges in some self-care by tending to his dental hygiene with chew toys by the fireside or a well-deserved Kong filled with peanut butter and a tasty milkbone. He may take a bit of time to warm up to new people, but once he's comfortable, his affection knows no bounds. Champ absolutely adores bedtime snuggles, relishing the role of the big spoon to keep you warm on those chilly nights. Champ would thrive in a home without shared walls, as he takes his job as your protector seriously and will alert you to any passerby with his enthusiastic barks. While he's great with other dogs, Champ isn't a fan of cats or small creatures. Due to his exuberance, he's best suited for a household with older children, preferably in middle school or above. When it comes to adults, Champ is looking for a home where he can be the center of attention among adult women. He's had some tough experiences in the past, likely with male figures, and prefers to avoid competition for affection. This wonderful boy would also benefit from a family with prior experience with bully breeds and confident, strong leadership. Champ isn't just brawn and good looks; he's also quite the smarty. He's already mastered commands like "sit," "shake," and "drop" during his time in foster care, and he's eager to learn more from his special lady. With impeccable manners, he's a joy to take out on the town, strutting his stuff with the leash in your capable hands. Champ is a sweet and playful companion seeking the perfect lady to be his exercise partner, snuggle buddy, and evening date. If you think you might be the one he's been waiting for, please send an application to his foster, and they'll arrange that first unforgettable date. ##1329389##

Story

Tinsley is a beautiful pup with freckles and beautiful black eyeliner around her eyes. She currently lives with cats and dogs. Tinsley can be slow to warm up to new people and would benefit from a confident dog in the home to help her build confidence. Once she knows you, Tinsley will snuggle on the couch with you, seeking belly rubs like she’s been there her whole life! Tinsley loves the lake, and has slowly learned to retrieve a ball in it. She get so excited when she actually gets it runs for shore like she won the lottery! She thinks kids are cool, but older kids would be safer because Tinsley will slip right out the door if you are not careful; she really loves adventures and thinks she can leave to go exploring whenever she wants. A family that takes her on intentional adventures may be a great fit and help reduce some of her wanderlust… A little back story on how she came to rescue- She and her female canine companion were surrended to a sheter in TX. We don;t know the why, but Tinsly was pregant. She waited long enough in the shelter waiting for a home, that she gave birth to her two male pups.She came to MN a week later with them and raised them in a foster home. They have since been adopted. Now its her turn! ##1749383##

Story

Hi there! I'm Archie, a fun-loving pup who can’t wait to be your new best friend. I have a few favorite things: chew toys, belly rubs, snuggling, and going for walks. In fact, if we could spend our days walking and snuggling, I'd be the happiest dog around! I absolutely love going on adventures, especially if it means I get to be with you. Crowds and new people are my jam—I’m always on my best behavior and ready to make new friends. I’m fearless and curious about everything around me, which makes every outing exciting. My foster mom says I could use a tiny bit of caution, but I’m not sure what that means. I just want to check out everything! Oh, and I adore squirrels. I’m convinced they squeak like my toys! My foster mom thinks my enthusiasm for squirrels might extend to cats, so she keeps me away from them for now. At bedtime, I prefer snuggling on the bed, although I usually end up in my kennel. I don’t mind it, but I always try my luck for a cozy spot next to my foster mom first. One day, those sweet, hopeful eyes of mine might just win her over! When I’m not on an epic adventure, I enjoy playing with the other dogs here. If they’re too tired to play, I’m perfectly content chewing on a bone by my foster mom’s side. I know exactly where to sit to get treats and will lay quietly for hours once I find my spot. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, and adventurous companion, I’m your guy. Let’s make every day an adventure together! Quick Facts: Personality: Sweet, gentle, fearless, and adventurous Favorite Activities: Walks, snuggling, playing with toys, and exploring Special Skills: Making friends, being on best behavior in crowds, and finding treats Ideal Home: An active household ready for lots of adventures and snuggles Ready to meet your new best friend? I can’t wait to meet you! ##1968786##

Maggie Mae ~FOSTER OR FOSTER TO ADOPT NEEDED~

Pumi

Female, 6 yrs 2 mos

Size

Story

Maggie Mae aka Margo is an adoption return in need of a foster or foster to adopt home as soon as possible. Below is some information provided to us from her adoptive family. Although it was 4 years ago that she was in foster care with us,, she did do very well with the resident dog in her foster home. Her adoptive family has stated she can be dog selective and does also seem to want to be more of a loner than an integral part of the family dynamic as a whole. Margo is an incredibly low maintenance dog. Providing her with food, water, and land to roam, explore and protect, and she is in heaven. Her navy-seal level alertness and observation skills are amazing, and she takes SO much pride in protecting our family and land. Her happiest times have been off leash, walking by my side, in rivers, lakes, and large parks, that were quiet. She went off to school for 5 weeks, where she learned to heal, sit, and stay, while walking on her owner’s left side. But being that she is a free spirit, she doesn’t like leashes, and prefers to roam and explore at her own pace and discretion. https://www.rescuecrew.org/how-to-become-a-foster.html ##1994159##
