Why Shih Tzu rather than another dog breed?
“We’ve both always had and loved dogs. Over the years, we’ve had many small breeds; but when we got our first Shih Tzu from an ad in the paper 10 years ago ,we were hooked because of the their easy-going, low-key personalities. The Buehlers have no special training in rescuing Shih Tzu. Additionally, the Buehlers give unconditional love to these abandoned dogs, whether it is gently teaching a dog to be re-housetrained or the detailed interview process of a prospective adopter. They are all stressed no matter what the circumstances of their need to be re-homed. The next most important ingredient is patience. We usually crate all new dogs for a day or two, so that they feel secure having their own space,” she says. “The importance of fostering cannot be overstated. We evaluate the dog, and their personality. So, we can find just the right home for them because no one leaves here until we have what we feel is the perfect home. We also make sure that they are housetrained before they leave
