Shih Tzu Book: A Comprehensive Guide to Rescue and Training

If you're considering bringing a Shih Tzu into your family, a rescue is a great place to start. Shih Tzus are often surrendered to shelters due to their owners' busy lifestyles or allergies.

Shih Tzus are adaptable dogs and can thrive in small living spaces, making them a great choice for city dwellers. They require regular exercise to stay healthy and happy.

Their short, easy-to-maintain coats are a bonus for busy owners.

Baby Boy Phoenix's story is a heartwarming tale of rescue, love, and second chances. This little guy arrived at the Orange County Animal Shelter on June 5th, 2013, a stray in a matted, unrecognizable, and severely emaciated state.

Jenny Karns, the author and Baby Boy Phoenix's forever mom, shares his remarkable journey in the book Baby Boy Phoenix: A Tale of Rescue, Love & Second Chances. As a lover and rescuer of Shih Tzus, my heart was completely taken by this little guy.
