Shih Tzu and Japanese Chin Rescue

Royal Oak, Michigan

CONDOLENCES.....

Our Board member and Secretary, Jan, lost her beloved Shih Tzu Brandi today, December 29, 2009.  Jan fostered and adopted a very special senior girl that we rescued from the Royal Oak Shelter years ago.  Brandi's family -- Jan, Ed, Shari and Shelby are grieving and we ask that everyone keep them in their thoughts and prayers.  We love and miss you beautiful Brandi....

 

Mikey!

 

MIKEY!

This is Mikey, our special needs puppy.  Mikey is a Shih Tzu/Pomeranian pup that was attacked by a large dog, resulting in the loss of one eye and blindness in his remaining eye.  His owners were unable to cope with his disability.

Despite his handicap, Mikey is a happy, playful confident boy!  He recently graduated from puppy class at Trainers Academy in Troy, Michigan, and the training staff could not believe Mikey was actually blind.

He can now walk on a leash, has learned many commands and tricks, and can run (and I mean RUN!) from one room to another, navigating furniture and walls.

 Special thanks to JIM AND CAROLE for their donations towards Mikey's care, in loving memory of their Shih Tzu girl, Molly.

Also a very special thank you to AGGIE for her continued love and support for Mikey!

If you are interested in adopting Mikey please contact us directly at shihtzuresq@yahoo.com.   There are special requirements for adopting a blind dog.

Please consider donating towards Mikey's ongoing care.  While his medical treatment is now complete, his veterinary bills severely depleted our funds and his basic foster care expenses are ongoing.  You can go to the Donate Page to find where to mail a check, or click the button below to Donate using your credit card or PayPal.
