Who We Are
Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota (STRMN) is an all volunteer organization with a mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Re-Home Shih Tzus and Shih Tzu mixes who are in need of loving homes. We believe every dog should have a second chance, and should be treated as a living creature with respect, dignity and compassion. While our volunteers are located in Minnesota, we are committed to rescuing Shih Tzus from other states as well. As long as we have an available foster home, we will rescue and care for another Shih Tzu. STRMN is a 501c3 charitable, non profit organization. All donations to STRMN are tax deductable and 100% of donations go toward the care and comfort of our rescued dogs.

Where do our dogs come from?
Our rescued dogs come from a number of places and situations: owner turn-ins, strays, shelters, puppy mills and some from retired breeders. Regardless of where the dogs have originated, they are given love, kindness and attention in our foster homes and provided full medical care. Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota has high standards for the quality of care provided for our dogs, both in foster care and in their forever adopted homes.

How can I help?
The strength and success of Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota is in our volunteers. Each volunteer brings their skills, talents and expertise to our organization. We work closely with our volunteer foster families in an effort to guarantee a successful experience for all. Throughout the year we plan a number of social activities, hold quarterly membership meetings, fund raising events, and our annual STRMN Rescue Reunion each September.
There is always a dog needing to come in to rescue and a foster home. We very much need more homes so we do not have to turn away any dogs. If you have space in your home, and love in your heart for a Shih Tzu or Shih Tzu mix, we want to talk with you! Please also read “Why Become a Foster Parent?” written by one of our foster moms who especially cares for puppy mill dogs. STRMN will cover all necessary veterinary care at pre-approved veterinary clinics

Many online retailers participate in iGive. When you visit a participating online store, you will see a button that says “iGive ON”. You can see that store’s deals by clicking the button. When you make a purchase, a portion of your purchase goes to your cause. It never costs more, the stores pay for it, and iGive takes care of all the details. Initially just log on to www.iGive.com and select Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota from the dropdown as the cause you wish to receive the donation. Then make your online purchase with the retailer. iGive will even let you know when they have sent a check to STRMN.
Also, another way to financially support STRMN is to think about including Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota as a possible beneficiary in your estate planning. Our rescued dogs will always need vetting, our greatest expense.
Thank you to the Petco Foundation for their generous grant this spring. Thanks to your help, we’ll be able to afford more veterinary care for more dogs. The animals thank you, too!

Chico is an 11 pound, 8 year old male Shih Tzu /Yorkie mix. Chico is a friendly little guy and likes to greet people and other dogs while out on walks. What he loves most is joining his foster dog sibling outside to chase the resident rabbits and squirrels around the yard. He will need a fenced yard because he can be a little escape artist. Chico is house trained and does alert you at the back door when he wants to go outside for his bathroom break. Chico is friendly and comfortable with meeting new people, either on walks or in the home. He would do best in a home where someone is home most of the day. He has a bit of separation anxiety and his new family must understand how to help him feel more secure and overcome his anxiety.
