About Us

 ​Arizona Shih Tzu and Small Breed Rescue is a 100% Volunteer Non Profit 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of Shih Tzus and other small purebred or mixed breed dogs.

We believe that somewhere there is a home for every dog, but we also believe that we have a responsibility to place our dogs into homes that will best meet their needs both physically and emotionally. We look for people with patient and loving hearts who are willing to commit to our rescued dogs and consider them a part of their family.

All of our dogs are in foster homes or at our home base which is in the home our our rescue founder.  We do not have a "Shelter" for you to come and visit.  We ask yo to view our dogs and read their biographies at one of the following sites.  All sites show the same dogs available.
