Peke A Tzu Rescue

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.

EMERGENCY Elmo Needs Your Help!!



Elmo was turned over to the rescue by the owners January 18th. He is a handsome blonde and white Pekingese boy approximately 3 years old.

Elmo

He was involved in a fight with his brother a Chow mix and his eye popped out. He was taken to a vet by his owners and the eye was stitched shut. When sutures were removed the attempt to save the eye was fruitless and owners were advised to have the eye removed. They could not afford the surgery.

Elmo



Elmo has endured the pain in this eye for over 9 months. His owners felt he was not in any pain, but finally decided they could not care for him anymore. His surgery is scheduled for January 19th to have the eye removed and relieve him from his pain. He also has a very difficult time breathing due to very small nostrils and will have stenotic nare surgery. In addition he has extremely deep folds so a fold reduction will be done to prevent any hair from touching his remaining good eye. Elmo would appreciate any help you could give him.

Update January 20, 2010:
Elmo is home and will begin his recovery. All surgeries went well. He is resting comfortably and is on pain meds. We are still in need of donations to take care of his surgery costs. He sends you all of his love!

Albino Pekingese Quadruplets!

Judd

We would like to introduce you to four of the cutest puppies you have ever seen! Winona, Shania, Judd and Twain are albino Pekingese and were facing euthanization by their breeder.

Winona, Shania, Judd & Twain

The babies have made their first trip to our veterinarian. Xrays revealed their bone development is not where it should be at their age. Judd has very little use of his back legs. First examination revealed that Twain may have very little hearing. It is difficult for our veterinarian to give positive diagnosis in some areas because they are so small. They range from 1.8 lbs to 2.1 lbs (10-27) and were born on August 26th. Treatment at this time will begin with physical therapy which will include water therapy, to strengthen their bones. They will also be put on a supplement to begin building bone mass. We know that on going care for these babies will be extensive. We hope that you can help us with their care.

Update: November 21st:
The kids are doing wonderfully. Judd can now get up on his back legs and walk. The water therapy is doing wonders and the supplements are now helping. Shania, Winona and Twain are getting stronger as each day passes.

Update: December 12th:
Shania, Winona and Twain have exceeded our expectations. You would never know that they had any issues in the past. We continue to work with Judd. He is walking, but still has a lot of weakness in his hip area. They are absolutely adorable, loving kids.

Designer Accessories Fundraiser
Authentic designer handbags from Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coach and more along with Coach shoes and boots 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. 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.
