What We Do

Southeast Shih-Tzu Rescue is dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of Shih-Tzus in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.  Our foster dogs come to us from a variety of sources. These include, but are not limited to:

• Relinquished to animal control facilities.

• Found strays who, despite making all efforts to locate owners, are not reclaimed.

• Owner surrender due to life changes (death of an owner, a new baby, medical problems, etc.)

While in the care of our approved foster families, each dog will receive the following medical treatment by one of our cherished veterinary providers:

• Spay/neuter

• Microchipping

• Heartworm testing and treatment if positive.

• All necessary vaccinations

Each dog is given the appropriate time to recover from medical procedures, decompress and show us their personalities in a home setting. Each dog is evaluated with other dogs and people to help us paint a picture of what the perfect home looks like.

If you are a shelter seeking to place a Shih-Tzu or have observed a Shih-Tzu in need, please use the Get Involved page.
