More about the shelter
We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Shih Tzu and other toy breed dogs from a variety of situations. We pull from a number of shelters in and around Ohio; we take in breeder releases from commercial breeding facilities and owner surrenders as space permits. We do this so that hopefully we can reduce the number of Shih Tzu and other breeds euthanized in shelters due to space and place all of our dogs in loving permanent homes.
Applicant submits an online (or paper) application. We thoroughly check references including personal, vet, and groomer--landlord if applicable. Once references check out, we then conduct a home visit to ensure home and family would best suit the dog. We do not adopt on a first come, first served basis--we go with the home that is the best fit for the dog.
About Tilly Holmes
Distance: 632 Miles
Tilly's adoption donation is $225 and she is being fostered in Northern Ohio. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, started on prevention as well as flea prevention. Due to her previous neglect, she required an extensive dental cleaning which required all of her diseased teeth to be removed.
Tilly came into rescue from a high kill shelter as she was not doing well in the shelter environment. She most likely came from a commercial breeder and was found in a field in Amish country. Tilly is an approximately 10 year old Yorkshire terrier who is still quite shy but has made significant progress on trusting people. She has come a long way in her foster home and will require a quiet, patient home with a securely fenced yard, and a companion dog. Tilly's ideal adopter will give her the time and space she needs to acclimate to her new surroundings. She has also made a lot of progress on potty training and does better when kept on a schedule.
