     Rescue Me! worked perfectly twice. The first adoption happened about three days after my first posting... Both adoptions were to older, single, ladies looking for a loving pet. I am grateful to have found Rescue Me! to relocate our deceased friend's dogs, Baby and Gizmo. Dale

     Pierre is such a love bug, so letting him go was hard. It's taken me some time to consider. Rescue Me! made it easy and painless. In 24 hours, I had three people inquire about Pierre and decided to go with one person who seemed in line with what Pierre needed. I really appreciate the ease and efficiency of Rescue Me! and would encourage others to use it to find a dog or a new home for their dog. Thanks again!

     Hello Jeff Gold, I stumbled across your website during my research for a dog to call my own. I finally found not one but two dogs that were raised together in need of a loving home. Thanks to your website and the previous owners of my new Shih Tzus, I am a proud new dog mommy. We seem to be a perfect match. I so thankful that Julianna chose me for her beloved dogs. They have really enhanced my life. I have spread the word about this website with the hope that more pets can be rescued and more people can find a pet to share their love with. Thank you so very much! I am completely satisfied. Sincerely, Nerissa - New dog mommy :)

     I have never put up a puppy for adoption before but I am extremely impressed by how smoothly it went. I couldn't believe the amount of inquiries I received but after careful screening I am very happy to report that Diamond Kitty found a wonderful new forever home. It was hard to turn those down that really wanted her but I feel that the choice I made was the best match. Rescue Me is an excellent rescue site!

     I placed a post on the Rescue Me! website to find a new home for my son's Shih Tzu pup. I was kind of scared and unsure about how to screen and choose a new owner for Chewy. Within a few days I had received several emails all which seemed to be wonderful candidates. To be fair, I talked to them in the order to which they responded to the post and all sounded great. I ended up finding him a wonderful home with a responsible, stable, loving older couple who also had another Shih Tzu. After meeting and visiting with them and their other dog I could tell Chewy would be very loved and very well cared for. So this story has a very, very happy ending. They also said the would keep in touch and send us pictures to let us know how Chewy was doing. Thank You Rescue Me Shih Tzu Rescue! Tammy Schultz, Las Vegas, NV

     Had several calls very quickly. Narrowed them down to three good matches. Upon further conversation and questions with the three interested, I chose one who I felt would make for the most compatible and loving situation I could ever ask for. After taking her to her new owners and visiting with them in their home for over an hour, my wife and I knew we had made the right choice for Tiffani. We now look forward to receiving some videos of her in her new home. Thanks to all concerned. Edwin

     I found this lovely Shih Tzu at my neighborhood park. He was abandoned and neglected, every inch of hair matted. As soon as I took him to the vet to check for a microchip (none), I posted him here, because Rescue Me! sorts by breeds. I knew someone would love this beautiful dog, and would be looking for a dog of his breed. I started receiving calls within a few days! Many wonderful people were interested, so I was able to interview for the most prepared and best situated owner for this dog's personality and needs. This site works well, is easy to use, and very helpful for both placing a dog as well as finding the type you're looking for. It even helped me narrow down his breed, by looking at photos of other dogs listed. I will be donating to this site, for the great work they do, and the help they gave me in finding a perfect home for my little stray.

He may be confused about that for a while, but I'm sure that he'll fit right in with his new family. If I ever have to list another animal I will definitely use this site and recommend this site to everyone. Thanks for the help!

     The morning of Sunday, December 30th, we listed a post for Buddy. We found him running the streets and after unsuccessful attempts in finding his owner, we posted with Rescue Me! We already have two little girls, aged 15 and Buddy was just too energetic for them. So a tough decision was made to let him go to someone else. A wonderful woman called us within minutes of our post and we found out we live a block apart! We walked our usual path and she and Buddy met and fell in love. She took him home for a wonderful life as the King of the Hill that only he will share the lap, the bed, the walks and lots of treats in between. Even her son sent us a message of thanks for allowing her to have Buddy. We know this adoption was meant to be and there will be lots of love shared in this new family. I cried as I passed him over and came back home to hold our beloved girls (who by the way have been napping away). Thanks to Rescue Me!, we know that Buddy will have a wonderful life!

     We had a very special needs Shih tzu that was born blind. We had tried several options to locate a home for him, but the perfect match was made through RescueMe.Org. As a result of the posting, a family that had lost their little dog recently has adopted Stevie to fill the void in their life. Based on their phone call, we decided to meet on Christmas Eve to let them decide if Stevie was the right one for them. Stevie immediately started cuddling and kissing his new owner. Stevie will be well cared for and will provide the family a lot of love. Watching the family with our special little dog was heartwarming, and the hugs all around made for a great Christmas present for ALL of us. Thank you, RESCUE ME for providing a great service!

He was only on www.RescueMe.Org for a few days when I started getting people who were interested in adopting him. This is a great website for adoptions. I'm sure my dogs who have been adopted are very grateful and happy. Thanks so much! Linda

     Dear Jeff, We have had our shih-tzu Kanji for 4 1/2 years. Over that time we have moved and had two children. Kanji is an amazing dog and such a lover. I posted him on www.RescueMe.Org on Wednesday evening and within 20 minutes received a phone call from Craig. Craig and Renee sounded too good to be true and promised to love my Kanji. They came over with their children to meet Kanji and were in love with him immediately. I am so glad that I was directed to your site to find a new home for my little man. I wanted him to go to a home that will love him. I am glad the I didn't use Craigslist or any other method. I do not think the outcome would have been the same. I am very blessed to have had Kanji in my life and I hope that he brings pleasure to the family that took him! Thank you Rescue Me! and Jeff for having such a wonderful site to post our precious babies and rescue the ones that are in need! Neil and Jessica White

     I received lots of responses for my post about rehoming my dog. Ultimately, I was able to place Jessie in a home with 2 people who have a lot more time and energy to give to a rambunctious young dog than I did. I miss her a lot, but I think her new home will provide her with everything she needs to be a content, healthy dog.

     I would like to thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to post Penny on your rescue site. I was contacted by several very nice people, all willing and able to offer her what I am sure would have been a wonderful home. Although it was a difficult decision, Penny was placed a few days ago in a great home to a loving woman who seems to be enjoying her immensely. I have high hopes that it will all work out and it will be a perfect match for them both. I appreciate hearing from all of the people that contacted me, and were so willing to adopt Penny. I wish them all success in finding another Shih Tzu to love.

     We rescued Bozo for the sole purpose of finding him a forever home. After we got his training and medical care taken care of he was ready. We posted Bozo on rescue me and within 3 weeks we had a wonderful family from out of state that contacted us, they had just had their dog put down for cancer. After checking their vet reference and communicating back and forth to get to know them, I finally felt comfortable enough to let them adopt him. We both decided to meet half way since there was 5 hours separating us. When we met the family Bozo acted like he had always known them! There was an immediate connection. I know in my heart that was his family, the right family. Since he was adopted his new family drops me an email from time to time and updates me on his progress. He is doing great. Craigslist was a nightmare, too many dog flippers. Rescue Me is the place to go if you want good quality prospective adopters!! Thank you!!

I told them what my situation was and they were able to help me keep Buddy. They understood what I was going through and I expressed how I did not want to give him up. I really appreciate this team for everything they have done for me. Now Buddy is a happier dog who is not in any pain anymore. So once again Buddy and I want to say thank you and we really appreciate everything that was done to keep us together!!!!!!

     Shirlee Mae was adopted by a shi tzu rescue person in Olympia, WA. Chanele, who has an 8 yr. old son and alpacas on 1,000 acres.They came to meet us in Portland, Oregon (we drove about 4 hrs. from the tri-cities) to meet Shirlee and take her home to her new home. Shirlee Mae hopped right in the back seat with her new boy and smelled around to see if something was good to eat. Later I got a call that Shirlee Mae had a bath and didn't particularly care for her new smell, so went out and rolled in the dirt. She was getting along well w. the others and it was reported she was one of the best behaved rescues they had. Shirlee Mae is a very spiritual schi tzu who I rescued from Joplin during the tornado week of 2011 (she had been surrendered) on the day she was to be euthanized at the shelter. She had not been eating. So her story shows that love conquers all, and that love is contagious, if we allow it to be,and can fill our lives to the very end. I will always love Shirlee Mae and am so thankful that she was able to find a home due to your service, when it seemed that this would be an impossibility for an 11 yr. old. Sincerely, Ann

     Good afternoon, I filled out all the information for the Rescue Site in the Morning and by afternoon I had an email asked for more info on Peanut and by late afternoon I had a call and we talked some more about Peanuts life and she was picked up at noon today. Now that's what I call a fast rescue, I had taken Peanut back after selling her to a Family 14 months before and after a divorce and the family changes Peanut became unwanted and as the breeder I request that anyone who gets a pup from me I want to be called to take her back and that is what I did the end of October. I wanted to place her and some one asked me if there was a Shih Tzu Rescue local and I found you and the rest is history. I'm glad she has a new home and I liked the Lady very much that picked her up today. Thanks for the help, Kathleen

     Hi Jeff, Our experience with Rescue Me! was nothing but awesome! We already have an elderly Shih Tzu, and we signed up for updates so that we could find another little girl. The minute we saw Lucy, we knew she was special and the dog for us. The owner had her from a pup, so she was well trained as well as taken care of. The minute we went to meet Lucy and her owner, we knew it was a wonderful match. Lucy went nuts with kisses aplenty for us. It was love at first sight. And she has done beautifully since we've had her home. She's already had a visit to the vet, just to get settled in, as well as a grooming from her new groomer. She gets along splendidly with our other baby girl, and has ever since day one. She's a joy and blessing to us. Thank you so much for the wonderful work that you do with Rescue Me! You can believe we will recommend you (and already have). I have attached pictures of Lucy since we've had her home. Thank you again. Sheryl Moore PS. Our friends also used Rescue Me! and have a wonderful little boy now :)

     Have only used Rescue Me! the one time for the Shih we actually found a home for almost immediately right here in our own neighborhood. He is well and very happy w/his family now. It's been a good while ago, but the response I received from the site was minimal as I recall-Two inquiries. Am glad to know though that should I need to post again there is such a well organized site I can come to. Thanks so much for your interest and caring for the Shih's. We love them, don't we? Jeanne

     Hi Jeff! Thanks for the quick follow-up - another example of why I will tell all my friends about your site!! The ease with which I was able to post my photo and rescue ad was really a nice surprise. The hits started coming almost as soon as I hit submit - and they continued until only a couple days later - when she was successfully adopted out. I thank you for helping me to find her a good and loving home. Best Regards, -Tamara Tomaschow

     Hi Jeff, Little Mishu has found a forever home, and that's thanks to you and RescueMe.Org She was found by my friend wandering hungry and scared around her apartment building and after 3 weeks of fostering her, she was good as new :) We received multiple inquiries for her from all over the state and in less than 1 week of posting her picture on your site, we were able to find the perfect family for little Mishu--they drove down 4 hours just to see her!! According to her new family, she is adjusting well to her new family (and the cold weather!) :) Thank you so much. Annah

     Jeff, I was contacted 2-3-2012 in the morning by Gary Sauerbrei who resided 7 miles from my home wondering if I still had my shih tzu for adoption, I said I did and he mentioned they had a dog pass away and their other dog was lonely. Gary said his wife would be getting off work in the afternoon and would contact me if tonight would work for them and me to see Jacks. I said I would be around to call me back. Gary called back within 20 minutes and said his wife wanted Jacks, without his wife even looking at Jacks she wanted Jacks. Gary called about 1 1/2 hours before scheduled to pick up Jacks to get directions to my home. I spoke with Gary probably 15 minutes on the phones and I new this would be a work for Jacks. Gary and Connie showed up as scheduled and it did take some time for my dogs to settle down and accept a stranger in our home. Jacks warmed up to Connie much faster than Gary, and then I finally suggest for Gary to take off his stocking cap and that made Jacks accept Gary a lot easier. My husband doesn't wear a stocking cap and that has bothered Jacks before when visitors stop at our home. Before long Jacks was sitting next to Connie and was warming up to Gary much better. Gary and Connie left with Jacks, and I called after 2 hours of separating from Jacks and things are going GREAT at Jacks new home. His new home has another Shih Tzu and a fenced in yard, which was a must for our dear Jacks, our dogs are our 'kids.' My husband and I couldn't be happier for the pleasant move for Jacks and are comfortable Jacks will adjust to his new home with Gary and Connie. Thanks to Rescue Me site and helping us find a happy home for Jacks. Kristie Leistikow

     Jacks was adopted by a couple that resides 7 miles from our home. I do think Jacks' new home will be great for him. I plan to make a donation. Thanks for listing Jacks on your site. I have 1 more listed, hope to find him a home also. Kristie

     Thank you so much for the help. He was a stray and there was no way I could keep him. I had took him to the vet to find out he was an older dog and also needed surgery. I was so afraid I would not be able to find him a home. A rescue home took him in and called to let me know he was going to have surgery today, and then they had a great home they had talked to that wanted to adopt him. Great ending! Cathy Brown

     Hi Jeff, Bubbles did find the perfect forever home! She belonged to my brother and his family but they have such extremely busy schedules I wanted to help find Bubbles a new home. I have friends who found their golden retriever from a rescue. It wasn't even a day until Bubbles new mommy contacted me and we knew she was perfect. Bubbles is now in her new home and we couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for making this site available! When my husband and I finally put down roots somewhere I will use your site again to find a lab that needs a home. We will be happy to make a donation and thank you again! Beth Reese

     Peyton does have a new home, it is on a trial basis in order to be sure the new owners as well as Peyton are all happy and compatible. The only mistake that maybe we made was not to make it clear that he was not for sale, but free to the right home, almost everyone that contacted me wanted to know how much I wanted for him. We will consider a donation as this is a great cause! Thanks, Mark

     Hi, Jeff, Max was adopted yesterday by a wonderful couple who had been looking for a shih tzu to join their home for some time. I had several inquiries about Max which allowed me to 'interview' people to ensure that he went to a good home. I'm thrilled with his placement. His new 'parents' sent me an e-mail today to let me know how ell he did last night in his new home with a picture of him looking relaxed and happy in his dog bed. The site was very helpful in placing him...it was very easy to use and, quite frankly, I can't believe this service is provided free of charge. Thanks for providing this service! Virginia

     Rescue Me! was AWESOME! I was a little skeptical that I would have any response from the listing, but I had a least one person a day and sometimes up to three contact me regarding her. I just dropped her off last night with a prospective adoptee and I will follow up with them this Friday to make sure she is a good fit with them and their Shih Tzu. If not, then I may have to relist Smoochy, but I have a feeling that she may have found a 'forever home.' Thank you so much for providing this avenue for me to find a home for my dog! I don't know what I would have done without it. I am going to go ahead and make a donation. Melissa

     After my mother - in - law passed away. My wife and I inherited Gizmo. We already have several dogs and cats and didn't feel we could give him the proper care that he needed so we turned to Rescue Me for help in finding him a forever home. It's an easy site to navigate on and set up. Being able to add pictures is a big plus. I think people who go to Rescue Me looking for a pet are more likely to be more caring for it than those posting and looking on web sites that have a conglomerate of everything from computers to boats, etc. We were able to screen anyone who called about him and ask for veterinarian references, etc. Thank you Rescue Me for this wonderful site!! We became good friends now with the people that have Gizmo now and they are really awesome, and knowing we can visit him takes a lot of stress away knowing that we can still see him as a part of our extended family!!

     Dear Jeff, Justice was adopted this morning. While it broke my heart, I felt confident that he was gaining a loving new family who also have two others of his breed. His new home is warm, and very pet friendly. My experience... WOW! I am absolutely pleased to say that I found Rescue Me extremely helpful. I did not want to put Justice in a shelter nor the SPCA for fear of what could happen to him. Your site was one of the first to come up when I searched 'Shih Tzu Rescue.' No sooner had I posted his picture and information, I immediately began receiving phone calls and email inquiries from all over. Happily, one of the callers (now his new mom) is located approximately 4 miles from my home and she extended an invitation for me to visit when I wanted. In short, 'Rescue Me' works... and I would recommend anyone looking to find a home and/or to adopt a pet to view your site. Thank you, thank you for the work you are doing. I will be happily remitting my donation to help you continue doing what I feel is a valuable and much needed service. God Bless You Jeff Gold. Sincerely, JEAN RICE Live Simply... Love Generously... Care Deeply... Speak Kindly.. Leave the rest to God and Have a Blessed Day

     Jeff, Thank you for asking. It makes me sad to give up my little furry companion, but I am so thrilled that Rescue Me found her a new home with people who will give her a loving family. I am also thrilled that I didn't have to resort to placing her in a shelter where she would have to wait a long time before being adopted. Thanks to your site I only had to wait a day before tons of responses came in. Quinn

     Hi Jeff, Thank you for contacting me. Our little Shih Tzu Max was adopted today by a lovely family who will give him a wonderful home. I am sincerely grateful to RescueMe! for helping us find a home that is loving and safe for Max as it has been a very difficult decision for us to give him up. The people who responded to our posting were kind and genuinely interested in making Max their lifelong companion. In fact, within 24 hours of posting, I had five people who wanted to meet Max. Thank you for this wonderful resource that not only helps wonderful dogs find new homes but makes the process easier and more bearable for those of us who must surrender our canine companions. Best, Elizabeth Donovan
