Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Rescue is an all-volunteer, donation-sponsored organization dedicated to saving the lives of abused, abandoned and unwanted Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apsos. Our organization is funded entirely by donations from wonderful people like you and all money collected is used solely for medical care for these little dogs. The organization is based in Houston, Texas and has foster homes in both Houston and Dallas.
Each and every dog accepted into the program undergoes a physical examination by our veterinarian and is spayed or neutered prior to being adopted. Because of the nature of this mission, we often accept dogs with serious medical problems - predominately heartworms. This is a very expensive disease to treat - with treatment costs from $250 to $600 per dog. Luckily, most dogs recover completely after treatment. We treated ten dogs in 2000; all survived and are going strong. If you have the ability, please consider donating to help cover the medical expenses of a little dog.
We have no shelter - all of our dogs live in foster homes around the Houston or Dallas metro areas. We are always in need of more foster homes - all it takes is an open heart.
If you can't foster but would like to help, consider sponsoring a little dog while he/she is in our care. Some stay longer than others, but a small donation of $25 a month goes a long way to help us care for these dogs. |
