  • Peke A Tzu Rescue is a Non-Profit Shih Tzu Rescue and Pekingese Rescue exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are also active in Maltese Rescue, Poodle Rescue, Yorkie Rescue and Mixed Small Breed Rescue. Our primary location is in Trufant, Michigan but we do have foster homes in Indiana and Florida. The rescue is comprised of volunteers donating their time and love. We do not receive any money from city, county, state or federal governments. The volunteers are not paid except with pupster kisses and adoration. Many of the gift shop items are donated by volunteers so that the rescue receives 100% of the sales proceeds. Also the Director of the rescue maintains our website so that we do not have website fees with the exception of server costs. We rescue dogs from local animal shelters, animal control facilities and private owners. All are fostered in our homes until they find their Forever Home. All vetting needs are addressed upon arrival with the appropriate follow up vet visits. We also provide a Pre Adoption Physical which is done within a 7 day period prior to adoption. This physical includes a wellness exam and fecal. A copy of the Pre Adoption Physical with our veterinarian's signature will be supplied to the adopter. We will keep an update of total vetting costs at Foster Vetting Costs. We do adopt out of state, but request that the Adopter fly in or drive in to get the baby.
    Additional information on adoption can be found at Adoption Guidelines.

    We pupsters thought we would give the on line auctions a bit of competition. We have so many kind people that donate items to us. By offering these items in our own auctions we can eliminate paying auction fees.
    Every penny is needed for us pupsters.

    Our Sweet Braden
    Needs Your Help


    Braden

    Braden is a very sweet 4 year old Brussels Griffon who is in need of immediate ear surgery. He has retired from the breeder world as a result of growth of tissue in both ears and is in extreme pain.

    Braden's Left Ear

    Braden's Right Ear

    There is infection building in both ears due to inaccessibility to the ear canals. It will be necessary to remove the growths to access the ear canals. At that time the surgeon will determine what further treatment may be necessary. Braden would appreciate any help you can give him.

    UPDATE 7-30-10
    Braden is currently on antibiotics in an attempt to clear up the infection in his ears. He will be seen in 14 days for reevaluation and to determine when his surgery can be scheduled.
    UPDATE 8-13-10
    Braden has been scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, August 17th. Please keep him in your prayers.

    UPDATE 8-17-10
    Braden had surgery on only one ear today. The surgeon felt because the procedure was so invasive it would be best to let him heal and then remove the growth from the other ear at a later date. It was determined that the growth began around the ear drum and eventually spilled out of his ear. All of the mass was removed with the exception of some around the ear drum. The hope is to remove the remainder of that growth through laser surgery. Braden is resting comfortably and will not return home until Thursday, possibly later if necessary.

    UPDATE 8-19-10
    Braden After Surgery

    I am home! I may be a bit bald and have a sore ear, but I sure am glad to be back in Mom and Dad's arms. Bad news is I have to be isolated from all of my pupster friends for 10 days. You know how those girls like to smooch we boys ears! Mom said we need to be very careful about infection. So, I am living in the guest bedroom, but can at least see out and watch all of the activity. It really isn't that bad though. Mom takes me out to potty all by myself and I get lots and lots of one on one attention.

    Braden's Stitches

    I haven't counted the stitches in my ear, but there are a bunch! Once my doctor knows all is well with this ear then I will go through surgery for my other ear. I hope you will continue to help with my vetting needs for they are climbing higher and higher. Mom and Dad say I am worth every single penny and then some!

    UPDATE 8-27-10
    Braden had his stitches removed today and everything looks great. He is now out of "solitary confinement" and is enjoying romping and playing with his pupster friends once again. Braden is scheduled for surgery on his other ear on September 21st.

    Designer Accessories and Jewelry Fundraiser
    Authentic designer handbags from Coach, Baby Phat, and Tignanello along with Coach shoes and beautiful gold and diamond jewelry have been generously donated to Peke A Tzu Rescue to raise funds for vetting expenses for our senior and special needs fosters. 100% of the proceeds goes directly to the Pupsters' Food and Vetting expenses.
    This time of year all of the pupsters have their heartworm tests and are scheduled for dentals if needed. The cost for this care including heartworm preventative exceeds $20,000 annually.
    In addition many critically ill and senior fosters have gone to Rainbow Bridge and were unable to be adopted into a loving family of their own. We are left with huge vet expenses from these precious babies and our financial resources have been depleted.
    With the current economy, some of our previous donors have chosen to discontinue donations.

    All designer items have been authenticated by the donor. All jewelry has been authenticated and appraised by a Graduate Gemologist. A picture of the appraisal is included with each jewelry piece.
