A Productive Weekend for Shih Tzu Rescue
Submitted by cbarekman on Sun, 05/23/2010 - 21:50The Tzu gang at DFWTAMR was busy volunteering for worthy causes over the weekend. DFW Tzus had a good turn out for the Arthritis walk on Saturday, with Arthritis Walk Dog Hero, Brett Favre, and Dog Walk Chairman Samantha C., leading the way. We had a productive Tzu Review Sunday with some good applicants. Fingers and paws crossed for adoptions in the upcoming week. Mike B. also delivered a pick-up truck load of pet food to HSNT on Sunday afternoon. The food was donated by our generous volunteers and friends. A heartfelt THANKS to all who made food and cash donations to help the homeless pets at HSNT!

Shih Tzu + Lhasas + Other Animal Welfare Groups = Adoptathon 2010!
Submitted by cbarekman on Wed, 04/28/2010 - 21:30Of course we think Shih Tzu, Lhasas, and other fluffy small breeds are the best
However, if you or your friends/family prefer other breeds or any size mixed breed, a stop at the Ballpark in Arlington should definitely be on your schedule for Saturday, May 1, from 10-4. Numerous Rescue Groups and local Animal Shelters will be showcasing their many adoptable pets. What a great way to view a huge variety of dogs and cats all in one place, and find the one that suits your family/lifestyle. See our events page for exact location. There is a small possiblity of severe weather on Saturday.
Special Needs Shih Tzu Need Homes Too!
Submitted by cbarekman on Sat, 04/10/2010 - 22:43We have several special needs Shih Tzu and Lhasas who need forever homes of their own. They pawsitively deserve more love and attention than they can receive in foster care. They deserve to be the center of attention rather than one of several foster dogs. If you have a big heart and are willing to give a little something extra to enhance the life of a special needs dog, then take a look at these very "special" dogs on our available dogs page: Starsky, Giselle(GiGi), and Augustus(Gus). Starsky and GiGi both have skin allergies and are on allergy shots and special diets. The shots are weekly and are simple to give just under the skin. They are not expensive. Gus has been with DFW Tzus the longest.
THANKS to All of Our Shih Tzu Rescue Supporters
Submitted by cbarekman on Wed, 03/24/2010 - 23:18Despite the stormy weather, we made our quota of 100 in order to receive our donation from Cantina Laredo. We also want to thank those who made individual donations and those who came in from out of state to support our homeless Tzus and Lhasas. It was a fun evening and a worthy cause.
Those Magic Words: A Dog That Needs Me!
Submitted by cbarekman on Sun, 02/14/2010 - 01:31As volunteers, we just LOVE hearing a potential adopter use certain phrases such as: "I just want to adopt a dog that needs me," OR "We would like the dog that you think is right for our family," OR "Please help us choose the dog that is the best fit for us." Sure, everyone has their preferences as far as color, sex, size, age, but the personality and needs of the dog are so much more important in determining whether a dog is a good match. At the very least, our Rescue dogs have often already been bounced around between their first home, the streets, an animal shelter, a vet clinic, a foster home and possibly even a second foster home. Who knows how many homes they were in before ending up in the shelter.
WUF....a Luxury Pet Resort and Spa in Irving
Submitted by cbarekman on Thu, 02/04/2010 - 22:45Hey, Tzu lovers in Dallas or Mid-Cities, I recently checked out WUF, a plush and really cool pet resort with boarding, spa and grooming, day care, in house portrait studio, and even a shuttle bus. It has all levels of boarding from large kennels and runs, to suites with doggie sized furniture and flat screened T.V.s. There is a pent house for those pampered pooches who expect nothing but the BEST. (Can I go and leave my dogs at home?)You will find supervised play areas divided according to the size of the dogs.
Senior Lhasa Apso Brett Favre Needs a Home of His Own
Submitted by cbarekman on Sun, 01/17/2010 - 00:45
This sweet boy is a little over 8 years young. In Rescue terms, he is technically a Senior. Since Lhasas can easily live to be 13-15 years old, he is really only middle aged. His name sake certainly shows just what those middle aged guys can do. Sorry Cowboy fans! Brett is a very quiet, easy, independent dog who just likes to lay near his person. He has some arthritis in one hip and leg from an old injury, but he takes it in stride, just like the real Brett Favre. Can you open your heart and home to a sweet boy like Brett?
