Southern Shih Tzu Rescue (SSTR) is small rescue organization, located in central Alabama.  SSTR is dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of Shih Tzu (as well as other toy breeds in the area).  Our main focus is primarily shih tzu in the state of Alabama, however we do assist in surrounding states as well.  We work in conjunction with local shelters and other rescue groups to aid in placing needy furbabies in loving, caring FOREVER homes.

Every year, for a variety of reasons, Shih Tzu in this country find themselves in need of new homes. Sometimes they are lost, abandoned or dumped at shelters. Sometimes owners must give up their dogs for various reasons; medical problems, moving into
retirement homes, new baby, divorce, allergies, new house, nipping at the children, etc. And, sometimes they are rescued from commercial breeding facilities, commonly referred to as "puppy mills".

SSTR takes in any shih tzu regardless of age, health and/or temperament, when funding allows. Unfortunately, we are currently limited on funds and foster homes. Due to
these limitations, we are forced to limit the number of babies we help.

All shih tzu are placed in foster care for evaluation and vet-work, which includes: spay/neuter, vaccinations and treatment of all other medical issues, based on vet recommendation. (heartworm treatment, dental work, hip surgery, eye surgery, etc...)

FOSTER HOMES AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
