DFW Shih Tzu Rescue/K-9 Direction Work to Get Shih Tzu Adrian Beltre Adoptable
Submitted by cbarekman on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 02:14
We highly recommend the excellent Petsmart Training classes, but sometimes a little Tzu comes along that needs more intense training, and that is when we turn to Alan Brown with K-9 Direction ( www.k-9direction.com ). Our Adrian Beltre is a gorgeous little boy with personality plus and high energy. However when we rescued him from an area shelter at about 7 months old, he had not been socialized and probably had been abused.

We are so grateful to you for bringing your dogs back to visit with us, and also grateful to the many who made additional donations to us while at Petsmart. A big thank you to others who couldn't make it out to Euless, but sent donations instead. You have all helped to make it a much better Christmas season for our many homeless dogs. And a thank you to one special adopter who brought us some very special cupcakes that you can see on the rotation.

Breaking News! Shih Tzu Rescue Johnny Galecki Finds His Perfect Forever Home!
Submitted by cbarekman on Mon, 11/07/2011 - 22:35Update to the Johnny Galecki story: Johnny doesn't have to ask "Why" he doesn't get a forever home like the other dogs any longer. He now has his happy ending. After losing an eye to big dogs, going through heartworm treatment and being in foster care for 14 months, Johnny Galecki has found his forever home. He really hit the jackpot too. A lovely home, a huge backyard to roam, plenty of squirrels to torment, a new older canine sister and a very loving mom and dad are now in his future. He is home at last,,, and content in the arms of his new parents. It was a bittersweet adoption for his foster Mom, Jenn. She is so thrilled for Johnny's good fortune, but sad to see him go, of course.
Shih Tzu Rescue Updates
Submitted by cbarekman on Sun, 10/30/2011 - 19:36As we sadly reported earlier, Angie Dickenson's heart surgery wasn't successful. But for now, this little girl is doing great! She is an active puppy in every sense of the word. She is treated like a little princess by her foster Dad, and he says she has already developed a strong sense of entitlement and tries to run the household...hehe. Angie has even gotten the older inactive dogs to play with her. Rest assured that for whatever time Angie has left, she will be pampered and spoiled. A HUGE THANKS to all who contributed to Angie's surgery. We appreciate your generousity so much! That means that DFWTAM can use regular funds to save more dogs.
