Arizona Shih Tzu and Small Breed Rescue
Our Mission
Arizona Shih Tzu and Small Breed Rescue is a 501(c)(3) not for profit rescue dedicated to the rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming of Shih and smaller breeds such as Poodles, Yorkies, Bichon, Schnauzer, Lhasa Apso, Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel and Terriers. We rescue pure breed as well as mixes of all ages ... and we have been know to take a bigger dog or two who have been brought to our doorstep with no where else to go.Â
We believe that there is a home for every dog, but we have the responsibility to place our dogs into home that will meet their needs both physically and emotionally. We look for people and families with patient and loving hearts who understand the furbaby mind.
Abuse, abandonment, neglect, irresponsible breeders, puppy mills, financial difficulties, changes in family circumstances, childbirth, death of their Guardian are all contributers to the homeless population of dogs and why they end up a
Adoption Policy
PLEASE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION BEFORE MAKING AND INQUIRY
If you see a rescue dog that you would be interested in opening your heart and home to, please fill out an application at the link listed
.
* Please note that we do not adopt out of the state of Arizona **
We process each application to be sure we match the right family who will best meet the needs of our rescue dog ~ that he or she will thrive!
Once that match is found, we will contact you and set up a Meet and Greet with you and all members (including 4 legged) that will be living in the home. We work with your schedule and they are done 7 days a week.
As an "All Foster All Volunteer" rescue, we do not have a physical brick and mortar building to visit our rescued dogs.
All of our rescues live in our home based rescue or with their foster families to show them love and transition them into family life full of happiness
