She has at least 10 Shih Tzu to place so please try and help locate responsible individuals who want to share some of their love and attention with these poor little creatures. Pat would appreciate you screening potential owners to make sure they are willing and able to take on this responsibility before referring them to her at (301)249-5717. And if you can see it in your heart to send a donation to our rescue fund please mail it to Vicki Jenkins (6 Gamewell Garth, Baltimore, MD 21236) and make sure she is informed it goes to our rescue fund and not the general treasury.
