STRMN Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota
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.

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 specially cares for puppy mill dogs. STRMN will cover all necessary veterinary care at pre-approved veterinary clinics.
During the summer of 2007 a number of volunteers in Minnesota who had been actively involved with other Shih Tzu rescue groups came together and decided it was the right time to form their own local Minnesota rescue group. Our volunteers felt the importance of being closely involved in all aspects of the rescue and re-homing of their foster dogs. Being a local Minnesota group provided us with the opportunity to be integrally involved in the entire adoption process; home visits, reference checks and continued subsequent follow up.
Our rescued dogs come from a number of places and situations; primarily owner turn ins, retired breeding stock, strays, shelters, and some from puppy mills. Most of our dogs come to us from a home environment. Usually the owners surrender their dogs to us because of a change in their home or family situation such as having children, death of the owner, the owner going into a nursing facility, divorce, or moving to a residence that does not allow dogs. We also find loving homes for the retired breeding dogs of reputable breeders, whose dogs have been well cared for in a healthy, loving environment. We sometimes have dogs that were found as strays and have not been claimed at the pound or shelter. We have a few foster home volunteers who are especially committed to rescuing puppy mill dogs and we get some puppy mill survivors who we then rehabilitate and rehome.
Regardless of where the dogs have originated, they are given love, kindness and attention in our foster homes and provided full medical care. Behavioral issues, if any, are addressed, and they are prepared as well as possible for their new forever homes. Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota has high standards for the quality of care provided in our foster homes, as well as the quality of the homes to which our dogs are adopted. We maintain a commitment to all of our foster dogs for the rest of their lives and are here for them now and forever into the future.
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 together for a common cause, to help Shih Tzu in need. We are fortunate to have both experienced and professional dog handlers in our membership that have provided our volunteers and adopters with a wealth of information on everything from training to proper food and diet, to medical issues for the Shih Tzu breed. Throughout the year we plan a number of social events, hold quarterly membership meetings, work together on fund raising activities, and each summer we hold a Shih Tzu Rescue Reunion inviting all our previous adopting families, our supporters and their Shih Tzus to attend.
