| Adoption Guidelines These are some general guidelines we follow in choosing the homes for our dogs: |
| Long Term Adoption Requirements These are some of the requirements when adopting a Shih Tzu from us. |

All pets in your house must be already spayed/neutered before we will place a Shih Tzu with
you. The only exceptions are if there are medical reasons.
We will not adopt Shih Tzu to families with children under the age of eight. The main reason for
this is that many of the Shih Tzu turned into rescue are because of problems with children.
Another reason is the unknown history of some of these Shih Tzu.
If you are elderly, we will not place a very young dog with you.
If you are gone more than 6 hours at a time, we will not place a Shih Tzu with you, unless you
have another dog for a companion. This breed thrives on companionship - both human and
canine.
You must be 21 years or older in order to apply for adoption.
You may not adopt a dog as a gift or surprise for someone else. This is not fair to the dog or
the other party involved.
You must be within a 60 mile radius of us, we do not allow long distance adoptions.
We want you to be committed to the dog for the rest of its life. Ask yourself if your lifestyle is
changing due to a move, getting married/divorced, changing jobs, etc. Will those lifestyles
affect your decision to keep the dog? Adoption is for the rest of the dog's life.
Please understand that adopting a dog is a lifetime decision and should not be made quickly.
Our adoption process takes time and does not happen immediately.
