NorthStar Shih Tzu Rescue

Northstar Shih Tzu Rescue (NorthStar/NSSTR) is an all-volunteer, 501c3 (in process) non-profit organization dedicated to Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs. NorthStar Shih Tzu Rescue exists to benefit both Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs and the people of our community. We operate as a no-kill rescue that provides rescue and adoption services, and meaningful outreach programs in order to advance the welfare of these companion animals, to serve and educate our community, and to make a positive, loving impact on the lives of both.NSSTR, located in Excelsior, MN, actively works to rescue Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs from dangerous environments and shelters with the ultimate goal of placing them in loving, permanent, adoptive homes. We rescue unwanted, abandoned, and abused dogs. We have them vaccinated, micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, provide other medical care, and rehabilitate them in carefully selected foster homes.We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on the benefits of adopting an animal in need as well as responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, good nutrition, and positive behavior training. We strive to increase public awareness about companion animal overpopulation, commercial breeders, and to offer solutions to end the killing of adoptable animals.We work in alliance with local animal shelters, pounds, other rescue groups, and humane society organizations to ensure these animals are not forgotten.

Meet Cooper

NEED A RUNNING PARTNER AND A SNUGGLE BUDDY?  Here I am! I'm Cooper, a 2 year old Shih Tzu Poodle blend with TONS of energy and sweetness! Because of this I would do best in a home with older children as I jump on my people with excitement. My foster is working on this behavior, I do obey the command "OFF!", but sometimes I can't contain my excitement. I also am very vocal about letting my people know when someone or something is going by. I will need a calm home with people who can give me consistent rules to obey. I am happiest when I'm snuggled up with my people while they watch their TV shows at night, and love to cuddle up with them on their bed. I am very obedient, know Sit, Stay, & Off. I'm housetrained when I'm on a schedule.  Don't be confused by my photos, one is before I was groomed, and the other is after. I like either haircut - I'm adorable either way! I would do well in a home with either no other dogs (so I don't have to share my people) or one other dog. No cats - I tend to chase them.  My adoption fee, including MN state taxes, is $429.10. I'm available to adopt within a 50 mile radius of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/Saint Paul. For more information about me, please submit an adoption application and my foster mom will be in touch. Please click  here  to fill out an online application.

Adoption Process
We require an application with references, we call the refs, then schedule a home visit wil all family members present. An adoption contract is then required for the adoption to go through. Fees are based on age of the dog, beginning with $450 for a dog under 2 years and ending with $100. for a dog over 10 years.
