Ask about the dog’s temperament and if they are progressing well in their health or behavioral issues. Most rescues require two to three references in their application, and they really make an effort to call each one of them. Your chosen references should be ready to pick up the phone when the rescue contacts them. STRMN is another rescue in Minnesota passionate about giving Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu mixed breeds a high quality of life through foster care and proper medical attention since 2007. Available dogs can be viewed on the rescue’s website, each with a complete description of their appearance, health status, temperament, and fixed adoption price.
Several Shih Tzu rescues mentioned in this article prefer applicants with a properly fenced yard and those who won’t use a retractable leash for their dog. They may also require that other pets in the house are spayed or neutered. Following these requirements can help you pass the evaluation easily. I would ask that IF a rescue does or doesn’t allow OUT OF STATE adoptions it be mentioned here in their info. But, I understand that t his site doesn’t want a lot of changes to the site IF a rescue changes their policy. While I could drive and pick up a dog, I hope the rescue site mentions it on their site.
