 | Rescue Me ID: 18-05-24-00025Lightening (female)
Lightening Lightening is an incredibly sweet girl, who was most likely used as a breeder dog. You can tell that she had just had a litter of pups not long ago, and truely didn't understand what being picked up and hugged was all about...but she is starting to like it! She is also liking the fact that she can wonder through out the house..no cage. Her 1st night she was very wobbly on her feet as if she didn't know what to do with them. (Cages don't allow you to walk about). Her fur was knotted up SEVERELY, and she wrenched of urine odor..so we thought thats what it was.. we noticed she has pus in one of her ears, and her entire ear was ... (Read More)inflamed. Lightening was found with another shih tzu (Dora) in the desert. We think Dora is around 8 years old, and Lightening is about 10+. Both of them have a genetic eye issue. (we were hoping that they could have cateract surgery, but the Vet said it isn't an option because it was hereditary). Lightening is close to 95% being blind, and Dora can see about 2 yards in front of her yet. These girls do not appear to be bonded, and venture off to opposite parts of the Foster home, and can sleep with out each other through out the day. Who knows, they may get closer as time goes on, but for now we don't see it. Dora is appox 13 lbs and Lightening is 9lbs. Neither girl is housetrained, but they have wonderful appetites, and sleep most of their day. Neither play with toys..they are simply loving girls that are enjoying the peaceful, sleepful times that they missed out on. It would be great if someone that is a stay at home person, could adopt Dora or her mom Lightening and give them a life of happiness for the short time they have left. If you are a Senior, (65 or older) these girls both qualify for our Senior to Senior Discount program. So, whichever is the lesser, (what we have into them, or the adoption fee) you pay the lesser price for the adoption fee. Lightenings adoption fee is set at: $110.00 If you have been wanting a new family member and think Lightening is the one for you, please apply for her by going to: www.wowdogrescue.org and completing an application. PLEASE do not call to see if the dogs are available, just complete an application so you can be considered. We will go through applications and if yours is a perfect fit we will call you to meet up! If interested in Lightening please complete a application on our website at www.wowdogrescue.org If you still see that Lightening is NOT marked ADOPTED, then she is Still available. When a family is chosen, we give the family 3 hours to return our call if they don't answer. After that, we go to the next person who qualifies for the dog. Thanks for wanting to rescue your next family member!! (Less) W.O.W. Dog Rescue Maricopa County Chandler, AZ MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-05-22-00404Milo (and Lucy) (male)
Lucy and Milo are a bonded pair of 8 year old shih tzus who are looking for a loving home together. It's hard to tell under his hair, but Mr.Milo actually only has one eye, but it doesn't bother him a bit! Lucy and Milo are both very friendly and happy pups. They would do best in a home with no cats, as Lucy barks at them, but they are great with other dogs of all sizes. Lucy and Milo are both very well leash trained and love walks, Milo will get so excited to go for a walk him whole body wags with his tail. They are an active pair of pups who loves to play and also love car rides, so they will join their family anywhere. They are great with ... (Read More)kids and would gladly be part of a family. They are kennel trained and house broken, but Lucy had a mass removed from her stomach last year resulting in a weaker bladder. Lucy still does great if let outside every 2 hours, but may have accidents if left inside longer. Lucy will jump baby gates and small fences, so they need a tall secure fence in their home. Lucy weighs 15 pounds full grown, while Milo weighs about 20 and could stand to lose a few pounds. Lucy is spayed and Milo is neutered. They are both up to date on vaccines, microchipped and vet checked. Their adoption fee together is $300 for the pair. To meet them come to our location at 1102 W. Hatcher Road in Phoenix 85021, open Tues-Sunday 11am to 6pm. On weekends, give us a call for the dogs location as we have off site adoption events that some of our dogs attend, 602-944-2440.

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-05-18-00347ROSALIE (female)
This one is very special .... and she needs a very special angel to truly rescue her. Rosalie is between 12-14 years old. She's a beautiful mature Shihtzupoo lady with gorgeous eyes that sparkle. She is not super fast, but she keeps up well enough because she wants to be right where you are in your home -- happy to be with you all the time, and that's some true unconditional love. She probably has a couple to a few years left to bring her new family smiles and cuddles, and even some nice morning walks. It seems Rosalie's (unknown) past included too many treats and not enough activity. She weighs close to 20 pounds and should weight ... (Read More)12-13. Will you be her earth angel? Rosalie would like a nice retired person or couple, or someone who works from home who doesn't got out a whole bunch. She would indeed like those nice morning easy strolls, not too far, just enough to get out with you to work a little hip flab off. Yep. We all need that. She won't make you run a 10k or even a 5k, but just a nice little walk up the block. Rosalie recently had a $700 dental so her teeth and mouth are nice and healthy and this helps extend a dog's life. She also has a nice fresh haircut and is recently updated on her vaccines. She's spayed, and ready to go home with her new person. We're asking for an adoption fee of $180 to help cover her costs, but if there is a super golden heart out there who would not only like to adopt Rosalie but maybe offer a little more towards her care, it sure would help the rescue. If anyone else would like to contribute towards Miss Rosalie's dental, it would be so appreciated. We love helping little ones like this, and with your help, we can keep doing it. Here is our donation link: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A4D2RN6U7J5Y4 MEET ROSALIE ON SUNDAY at Pet Club, 9325 E Shea Blvd, Scottsdale, 11:15am til 2pm.

SAY HELLO TO TATUM! Tatum is a beautiful 7 year old Lhasa Apso / Shih Tzu mixed boy. Weighing in at just 13 pounds, this little man is so deserving of the best in life and a loving family to share. Tatum was found as a stray in very poor condition. He was severely matted and had serious dental decay and was in such incredible pain. He has had his teeth cleaned upon intake with us as well as some tooth extractions. Though we have searched for his prior owner, they have never come forward. Even though he was neglected, Tatum is still a very sweet boy and would like a family where someone is home most of the day. Housetraining is unknown ... (Read More)as to how much he has had (if any) but he is slowly learning the ropes. He will need a family that can provide gentle guidance to show him their routine. He is mostly Lhasa Apso so you know that he is very smart! Tatum probably would prefer to be an only dog or with another dog he does not have to 'play' with. He would do well with an older person or couple in a quiet home. He is endearing and attentive and true to the Lhasa Apso breed, he would like to have his own special person who will care for him an love him. He will offer you unending love in return. Tatum walks proudly on his leash and greets all that he meets very respectfully. He sits like a gentleman during his rides in the car. He comes to you when you call him, is not a barker and does not chew on anything other than a chew toy. Tatum is a longer coated breed that will require regular brushing as well as professional grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. Tatum's adoption fee is 375.00 This fee includes his Wellness Checks upon intake at our rescue, his neuter, his professional dental cleaning with several tooth extractions, all vaccinations including rabies and bordatella, de-worming, microchip with lifetime membership and professional groom.

 | Animal ID: 55MIKA (male)
Mika was pulled from a local shelter with urgent medical needs. He had a very large mass which has since been removed and sent off for biopsy. He is blind or partially blind in one eye, but doesn't let that slow him down. He has a sweet and happy temperament and an easy going personality. He walks well on a leash, tolerates the crate, and is mostly housebroken once he gets the routine. He would make a great addition to any family...could that be yours?

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Shih Tzu in Arizona | |||||||||
Shih Tzu Dogs can make good pets in Arizona if they match your IifestyIe. The Shih-Tzu is a toy breed similar to the Pekingese. Shih-Tzus are proud little dogs and loaded with personality. Shih-Tzus are gentle and do fine with children who are taught to respect the dogs. Shih-Tzus bark to announce people approaching their homes. Shih-Tzus need early obedience training and may require patience when housebreaking. A Shih-Tzu will do just fine in an apartment if it gets enough exercise.
