Smokey (Wilson)
|
Max
|
It was a very Happy New Year for Smokey as
he went to his adoptive home on New Years Day 2006. He went from being
a stray and no one claiming him after a 1 month stay in a shelter to
going to a loving home in west central WI with his new Mom and Dad and
a sister Shih Tzu, Katie. His new Mom and Dad renamed him
Wilson.
His adoptive family loves him to death--he is a very happy guy for what
he has been through. Smokey and his sister Katie play well together and
will be great companions for each other.
So another Happy Ending thanks to Shih Tzu Rescue.

Max went to his new home in central WI, he
has bonded very well with his new owner. She is a single gal with her
own home. Max is of great comfort to his new owner and him to her.
When he came to visit his foster Mom the other day he was a
little nervous about his new owner leaving him here, but now when he
comes to visit he knows he will be going back home with his new Mom. He
seems very happy in his new home and gets to go for rides daily and
loves to ride in the truck.
He has met many new friends. It was great fostering Max and I am so
glad he is close enough to visit me and my own dogs often. Sandy (Max's
foster Mom)

Barkley

Dexter
|
It was a very Happy Day for Barkley when
he was able to go to his new adoptive home in Eastern WI. It is
so hard for these little furry folk until they are able to settle into
a permanent home; we found a good home for him and I know he will have
a very happy life.
His new Mom and Dad are home most all of the time and he has the run of
their house and I understand he is settling in very well. He is making
his new parents very happy and lucky to have him, so he will have a
very good life and we are all happy for that.

Dexter’s mom was crestfallen, when she had
to make the decision to surrender him in order to take employment that
would keep her away from home for extended periods. Similar to
his previous owners, Dexter was not given up because of mistreatment
but to enhance his quality of life. His first family cherished
Dexter & amongst other things took him to obedience
training. However, when they started fostering toddlers,
Dexter didn’t appreciate pint size humans and ended up with another
owner who eventually gave Dexter to his girlfriend, which was his mom
until he came to rescue.

Buffy
|
Prints like in Paw Prints
|
Buffy came from an Italian
pet store where she was bought by a military family. Buffy was
later joined by Cricket, another Shih Tzu. They were pushed in
the background when a human baby joined the family in early fall of
2005. Buffy and Cricket became nonexistent once the baby was
born. They started having accidents in the house because their
owners no longer took the time to let them outside to potty. Once
coming into rescue they soon remembered that outside was the place to
potty.

Dear little Prints lived up
to his name and that he was, was a Prince. He loved riding in the
car with his foster Mom and Dad and cuddled up in his little bed on the
long trip back to WI from Kansas where he had been surrendered to a
shelter.
Prints was an exceptional little, loving boy, very mellow and laid
back. He now lives in southern WI with his new Mom and Dad. Who I
am sure will give him all of the love he will want and need for the
rest of his life; they were so patient and waited for the right little
doggie to come into their life.
Prints it was wonderful having you here, your Foster Mom

Buster
|
DeeDee |
My name is Buster and I
came into rescue as a surrender. My first mom had too much going
on in her life to give me much attention. Her work demanded extra
long hours and her mom (my first Grandma) was also very sick so my
first Mom had to make many emergency trips down south to visit
her. Also my big canine sister was very old and Mom said she had
to be put down and I would have to live alone. Mom knew that this
was not the best situation for me so sadly she had to surrender me to
Shih Tzu rescue.
I came to rescue and had a wonderful time in my foster home although my
foster Mom took me to the vet way too many times as far as I was
concerned. Then a wonderful couple from WI came to meet me and
adopted
me and I now have a big canine sister again to keep me company.
Within a couple of days of going to my new home I found new laps to lay
in, and new toys to play with. I also get many walks during the
day, which I love.
My tail is wagging,
Buster

Dee Dee has gone to her
new home in Central WI. Barb (her new Mom) fell in love with her
the minute she saw her. Barb was just waiting for the right
little girl and I guess Dee Dee was it.
Dee Dee was so matted with sticks in her fur and had been kept outdoors
on a leash, so for Dee Dee, coming into foster care was a relief for
her to get in out of the rain and get cleaned up and sleep in a human
bed where it was warm and cozy.
Barb and Lon (her new Mom and Dad) will make this little girl great
parents and continue to love her and take care of her as she deserves.

Mark company while Laurie was at work. Mark would be the stay at
home
Dad for Hampton. Mark has a disability and when they found
Hampton with
his disability, they wanted to add him to their family.

Sissy was surrendered to
Shih Tzu rescue from a family in northern Illinois. She lost her
elderly human
parents, one after the other, and did not fit into the household of the
son & daughter-in-law.
Sissy was a sad and lost little girl when she first came to her foster
home, but gradually came out of her shell and began to demonstrate her
sweet, quiet but cheerful personality. She got along especially
well with her foster brother, a Doberman, and they earned the Rocky
& Bullwinkle designation, "Moose and Squirrel!" Her favorite,
though, was her Foster Daddy, who she would play squeaky bone with and
meet at the door when he came home from work.
A wonderful semi-retired couple in South Eastern Wisconsin especially
wanted to share their home and hearts with an older girl, and Sissy fit
into their household from the first day. She now has a real
Forever Daddy and Mommy to care for her and take her everywhere!

Buster Number 2

Scooter came into rescue
as a stray. It is hard to believe that no one came looking to claim
this wonderful little boy.

Buster came into rescue due to his former
Mom having to move into a senior living facility and they could not
accommodate him. So with a heavy heart she surrendered him to rescue.
Buster says: I was a little depressed for a while. However, I
soon blossomed and loved to go for walks by the lake, where I had kids
faces to wash and play with. In too short of a time my new human
parents came to adopt me and now I get even more walks, because my new
Mom and Dad take me on lots of them. Plus, I've got squirrels to
chase out of the yard here. It's also a lot busier for me because
I have 2 people to keep an eye on now. But, it's also double the
blessings that I have 2 laps to sit on and 4 hands to pet me.
Plus they buy me new toys, too. They really do love me and I love
them.
Licks, Buster |

Topper

Gin Gin
|
Topper has found a loving
home in central WI and is fitting in very well with his new canine
brother Boo, a much bigger dog then him but they seemed to hit it off
just fine. He has also made friends with the cats of the house.
His favorite place to be is in the kitchen, in his new bed watching the
Mom do her daily chores. Topper has not only a new Mom and Dad, but
also a humane sister and brother to love him. I believe Topper will now
live the life he deserves.

We are very sad to say
that Gin Gin went to the Rainbow
Bridge in early Oct. 2007, due to a brain tumor. Bless her
little heart. She knew love for the short time she was with her new
family.
Gin Gin is a very, very
sweet little girl who went to her furever home today. While in foster
care she was such a love. She got along with everyone and anything she
came in contact with.
She now lives in SE WI with her new Mom and Dad who were so anxious to
take their new little girl home with them.

Montey

Snickers #2 (Toby)
|
Montey went to his new
home with his new Mom and what will be his best friend, Julian, a
12-year-old human brother. Julian and Montey have already started to
bond, Montey sleeps with Julian every night on his bed.
Julian and his Mother have another dog in their family also by the name
of Teddy. Teddy is a Shih Tzu mix who will be Montey's canine
brother. At this time Montey is settling in with his new family.
This household located in east central WI is just what Montey was
looking for. May they all live happily ever after.

This sweet little guy was
surrendered to rescue. He is the happiest little guy that you
ever will meet. Snickers kept his foster Mom on her toes, with
his puppy antics. He was always full of energy and always happy
and wanting to give kisses while his little tail never stopped
wagging.
He now lives with his new Mom and Dad and a Yorkie/Shih Tzu sister who
will play with him until they both flop from exhaustion. His new
Mom and Dad have renamed him Toby.

Rupert #2
|
Chip
|
Rupert
was a very, very scared little boy when he came into rescue. But after
getting to his new foster home it didn't take long for him to settle in
and know that he was safe.
Rupert has now gone to live in his new home with a Shih Tzu brother by
the name of Buster and his new Mom. Rupert has a fenced in yard to play
in with Buster and is getting to know that this is his forever home.
The first night in his new home there was a thunderstorm and Rupert was
scared but his new owner knew what to do. Rupert hid under the bed and
she left him be but talked to him to ease his fear. The next day all
was well.
The dogs are getting along fine, walking and playing together.
Rupert is going to love this new home and his new Mom already loves him.

Little
Chip came into rescue from a shelter in WI. We believe he was
used as a breeder dog before being taken to the shelter. When he first
arrived in rescue he would spin and chew, which are indications to us
that he was crated for long periods of time and did that out of anxiety
and boredom.
While he was in foster care he learned to be a part of his foster
family and learned that there was more to life then living in a
cage. He was introduced to toys and found the comfort of
furniture to lie down and nap on. Chip now lives in northern WI
with his new Mom and Dad and brother Shih Tzu, Thumper.
Updates from his new Mom are very positive and Chip seems to have found
his new home where he will be loved and treated as a family pet instead
of a throw away stuffed animal.

Murphy
|
Q T
|
This sweet little cutie
came into rescue due to his past owner becoming ill and not being able
to care for Murphy any longer. Murphy has been a joy to have in
foster care. He was such a smart little guy and caught on so fast to
the goings on around his foster home on a daily basis.
He is now in a loving him in the Upper Peninsula of MI where he has a
human Mom to spoil him and a Shih Tzu brother to play with him on a
daily basis. Murphy’s new brother is teaching him a lot already, like
how to get up on the back of the sofa and look out the window and watch
what's going on in the neighborhood. He enjoys walks on the leash
daily with his new brother.

QT found the perfect home
and is well on her way to becoming a very spoiled Shih Tzu. She came
into rescue thin, dull coated, one eye, sickly looking, and scared to
death. I could not even touch her; she would run away and cower. It
took her a week to get to know that no one here would hurt her. She
started to trust humans again.
Her new family was told that they need patience with her but only after
a few days with them she has realized that this is her new forever
family. Her new family is very happy with her. I thank people like them
for giving this tender soul a wonderful home for the rest of her life.
Signed: QT's foster Mom

Pepper #2 (Sasha)
|
Pepper came into
rescue as owner surrender. She was only a year and a half old and
just the happiest, friendliest little girl you ever want to meet. She
was such a good girl that she wasn't in her foster home long at all.
She is now in her new home with a Mom and Dad who are spoiling her as
she should be.
Her 2nd day in her new home she went shopping with her new Mom and got
a new pink coat for the WI winter weather and she looks so adorable in
it. Her new name is now Sasha and she seems to like her new name. New
home, new name, new coat and all of the love and attention she needs,
what more could this sweetie want?
