Instructions
Foster a dog for Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Rescue. The rescue group needs foster homes to care for dogs until they find a forever home. The rescue group saves dogs from shelters and families that need to find a new home for their pet. They pay for all veterinary bills and the foster home provides a safe haven, training and care.
Talk to your veterinarian. Families that need to find a home for their pets contact area veterinarians for help. The staff keeps contact information for clients looking for a new companion. Groomers also hear about Shih Tzus that need new homes so call your groomer and let him know that you are looking to save a Shih Tzu.
Post an offer to help on craigslist.org. There is a busy Phoenix pets community on craigslist. People that need to find new homes for their pets post a plea on craigslist. Dogs truly in need of rescue are offered for a small fee. Be careful when you meet the dog; take someone with you, especially if you are going to someone’s home. Do not allow strangers to come to your house with the dog.
Visit Maricopa County Animal Care &Control Shelter and adopt a Shih Tzu or Shih Tzu mix. This Phoenix-area shelter earned a national reputation for its progressive policies that save animals lives. There is an active foster program, so consider saving dogs lives by becoming a foster home for the shelter.
How to Rescue a Shih Tzu in Phoenix
Shih Tzus are happy-go-lucky small dogs. Although they love to play, they do not need a lot of room to exercise so they are a good choice for apartment living. Because of their small size, Shih Tzus are not a dog for families with small children. There is no need to buy a Shih Tzu from a pet shop or support the puppy mill business, many homeless Shih Tzus in Phoenix need new families.
