Our Organization
Tzu Zoo Rescue is a volunteer based non-profit 501(c)(3) rescue and foster care organization based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas.
Our ultimate mission is to match homeless Shih Tzus and Lhasa Apsos with ideal, loving forever homes and give these homeless animals a second chance at a wonderful, new life that they so richly deserve.
By working closely with local animal shelters, we work to prevent the senseless euthanasia of unfortunate stray, abused or abandoned pets, who have ended up in the shelters or have been abandoned through no fault of their own.
After providing incoming dogs with immediate medical care, vaccinations, heartworm testing, urgent dental care and spay/neuter, the rescued dogs are placed into temporary foster care where they receive the same love and attention as a cherished family pet. Through temperament evaluation and behavioral modification (as needed), we endeavor to ensure that each homeless dog finds a loving family and will be adopted into a forever home.
We educate the public and potential adopters about spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm preventatives, regular vet care, good nutrition, regular grooming, microchipping and just as important, adopting rather than purchasing from a breeder.
By continuing to educate and constantly searching for caring foster homes, the volunteers of Tzu Zoo Rescue hope to realize our dream of a day when we are able to rescue and re-home every Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso and all their other small, furry friends in the DFW Metroplex shelters.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization which means your donations may be tax-deductible.
