Lending A Helping Paw is our mission.
Lending A Helping Paw is our duty.
Lending A Helping Paw is our purpose.
Our rescue lends a helping paw to small-breed fluffy dogs in need, particularly Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apsos. We primarily rescue the ones who are left behind, including seniors, special needs, behaviorally-challenged dogs, and medical and hospice cases. We are seasoned rescuers with the skills and experience to rehabilitate and train dogs so that they can have a fresh start and a bright future; we call it "a new leash on life". Those dogs who are not readily adoptable stay in our Forever Foster "sanctuary" program for the rest of their natural lives. Our guiding principles are compassion, love and integrity.
