We
hold fundraisers because when we place a pet into a good home we
provide the first food, bowl, collar, and medicines if needed. The
services we provide include many pick ups or drop offs at homes that are
not in our area. This means using our vehicles and time. If you are
able to donate please click here.
We all know one of the best ways to help your local shelter is to donate your time as a volunteer.
But what about volunteering your home to some needy animals? Shelters
nationwide often need help caring for their pets until they’re ready for
adoption. Animal foster programs are a great way to make a hands-on
difference in the lives of animals in your community.
For example, just like our program ASPCA’s Foster Care Program matches
animal-loving Good Samaritans like you with pregnant and nursing cats,
underweight kittens and puppies and recovering dogs and cats. The
animals are cared for in the volunteer's home until they are ready to be
placed into the adoption program. If you would like to foster an animal please fill out an application by clicking here.

The name Shih Tzu comes from the Chinese word for "lion dog" because
this kind of dog was bred to resemble "the lion as depicted in
traditional oriental art,"[1] such as the Chinese guardian lions. (There is also the Pekingese breed, called "lion dog" in Chinese). "Shih Tzu" is the Wade-Giles romanization of the Chinese characters 獅子, meaning lion; Wade-Giles romanization was in use when the breed was first introduced in America, but in modern times Pinyin romanization is used, rendering it shīzi. The Mandarin Chinese pronunciation is approximately SHIRR-tsə. The Shih Tzu is also known as the "Xi Shi dog" (西施犬) because Xi Shi was regarded as one of the most beautiful women of ancient China.[2] Shih Tzu were nicknamed the Chrysanthemum Dog in England in the 1930s.[3] The dog may also be called the Tibetan Lion Dog, but whether or not the breed should be referred to as a "Tibetan" or "Chinese" breed is a source of argument, the absolute answer to which "may never be known".[4]
The traditional long silky coat, which reaches the floor, requires daily brushing to avoid tangles. Because of their long coat and fast-growing hair, regular grooming is necessary, which may be costly and should be considered when looking at this breed. Often the coat is clipped short to simplify care. For conformation showing the coat must be left in its natural state, though trimming for neatness around the feet and anus is allowed.[6]
There are various theories of the origins of today's breed. Theories relate that it stemmed from a cross between Pekingese and a Tibetan dog called the Lhasa Apso.[8] Dogs during ancient times were selectively bred and seen in Chinese paintings. The first dogs of the breed were imported into Europe (England and Norway) in 1930, and were classified by the Kennel Club as "Apsos".[8] The first European standard for the breed was written in England in 1935 by the Shih Tzu Club,[9] and the dogs were recategorised as Shih Tzu. The breed spread throughout Europe, and was brought to the United States after World War II, when returning members of the US military brought back dogs from Europe. The Shih Tzu was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1969 in the Toy Group.[8] The breed is now recognized by all of the major kennel clubs in the English-speaking world.[citation needed] It is also recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale for international competition in Companion and Toy Dog Group, Section 5, Tibetan breeds.[5]
A number of health issues, some of them hereditary, have been found in individual Shih Tzu, and are listed below. There is no data on the percentage of dogs with these ailments.
Shih Tzu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Japanese therapy, see Shiatsu.
Etymology
Appearance
The Shih Tzu is a small dog with a short muzzle and large dark eyes. With a soft and long double coat, it stands no more than 26.7 cm (101⁄2 in.) at the withers and with an ideal weight of 4.5 to 7.3 kg (10 to 16 lbs). Drop ears are covered with long fur, and the heavily furred tail is carried curled over the back. The coat may be of any colour, though a blaze of white on the forehead and tip of the tail is frequently seen. The Shih Tzu is slightly longer than tall, and dogs ideally should carry themselves "with distinctly arrogant carriage". A very noticeable feature is the underbite, which is required in the breed standard.[5]The traditional long silky coat, which reaches the floor, requires daily brushing to avoid tangles.

Often the coat is clipped short to simplify care. For conformation showing the coat must be left in its natural state, though trimming for neatness around the feet and anus is allowed.[6]
History
DNA analysis placed the ancestors of today's Shih Tzu breed in the group of "ancient" breeds indicating "close genetic relationship to wolves".[7] Ludvic von Schulmuth studied the skeletal remains of dogs found in human settlements as long as ten thousand years ago. Another branch coming down from the "Kitchen Midden Dog" gave rise to the Papillon and Long-haired Chihuahua and yet another "Kitchen Midden Dog" branch to the Pug and Shih Tzu.There are various theories of the origins of today's breed. Theories relate that it stemmed from a cross between Pekingese and a Tibetan dog called the Lhasa Apso.[8] Dogs during ancient times were selectively bred and seen in Chinese paintings.

Health
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland malfunctions and stops producing a hormone responsible for proper metabolism. This malfunction is commonly attributed to immune system problems. It usually affects middle-aged dogs and is seen in all breeds. Symptoms include hair loss, weight gain, muscle loss, and lethargy. This disease is usually diagnosed through blood tests. It can be effectively treated with drug therapy.Intervertebral Disk Disease
Intervertebral Disk Disease in the dog is a common chondrodystrophic disorder manifested by acute back pain, loss of coordination, paresis, and loss of the ability to feel deep pain sensations. IVDD commonly occurs in certain toy breeds, such as Dachshund, Pekingese, French Bulldog, Beagle, Basset Hound, American Cocker spaniel, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, and Welsh Corgi.Breathing problems
Shih Tzus have a lot of respiratory problems related to the shape of their face and head (the brachycephalic syndrome) which affects mostly dogs with a short nose (brachycephalic breeds). An obstruction in the upper airways causes the dog to have laboured breathing. Not every brachycephalic dog will develop respiratory problems but most will to some degree or other. Severe problems may require surgery.Morbidity
Some health issues in the breed are portosystemic shunt of the liver and hip dysplasia in standard sizes. There have been cases of Shih Tzu being epileptic, which in turn may shorten the life span if untreated.[10]Mortality
UK Kennel Club survey puts the median life span of a Shih Tzu at 13 years 2 months, with most living between 10 and 16 years.[11]Coat colours
The Shih Tzu comes in a range of colours that include various shades of gold, white and brown. Other colours include black mask gold, black and white, solid black, solid liver, liver and white, brindle and white and grey and white.[12] Though not as common there are also solid blue Shih Tzu. An interesting point (and often a point of confusion) is that while the coat color of those with black pigmented skin (nose, lips, pads, also referred to as "leather") is determined by the color of the coat itself; the coat color on dogs with either liver or blue pigment is categorized by the color of the pigment. Thus a parti colored (white and another shade) Shih Tzu with blue pigment is a "blue and white" regardless of the tint of the hair which might very well appear similar to a gold and white or other colors. The same principle applies to solid blue, liver and liver and white.[13] Sometimes you might see dark brown pigments near the shoulders and between the armpits.Monday, February 4, 2013

More Information About Miniature Pinscher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

| Miniature Pinscher | ||||
| Other names | Zwergpinscher | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nicknames | Min Pin, King of the Toys | |||
| Country of origin | Germany | |||
|

|

| Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) | ||||
The misconception that the miniature pinscher is a "miniature Doberman" occurred because the Doberman pinscher was introduced to the US before the miniature pinscher. In 1919 the miniature pinscher was introduced to the AKC show ring. At the time, not knowing that it was referred to officially in Germany as the zwergpinscher (dwarfpinscher), the AKC referred to the breed as simply "pinscher" and listed it in the miscellaneous category. When the Miniature Pinscher Club of America (MPCA) was created in 1929 (the year of the breed's official introduction into the AKC), they petitioned for miniature pinschers to be placed in the Toy group. The AKC's description, that the dog "must appear as a Doberman in miniature", led to the misconception common today that this breed is a "miniature Doberman pinscher". The original name for this breed in the US was "pinscher" until 1972 when the name was officially changed to miniature pinscher. [3]
Historical artifacts and paintings indicate that the "min pin" is a very old breed, but factual documentation begins less than 200 years ago,[4] which leaves the breed's actual origins open to debate.
Contents |
Description
Appearance
The miniature pinscher is structurally a well balanced, sturdy, compact, short-coupled, smooth-coated dog. He naturally is well groomed, proud, vigorous and alert. Characteristic traits are his hackney-like action, fearless animation, complete self-possession, and his spirited presence. Legs should be straight with no bending in or out.[5] The miniature pinscher frequently has a docked tail and cropped ears, though the AKC no longer requires ear cropping for shows.Size
Miniature pinscher breed standard calls for 10 inches to 12½ inches in height allowed, with desired height 11 inches to 11½ inches measured at highest point of the shoulder blades. Females may be longer.[6] The ideal weight for a miniature pinscher is 8-10 pounds.[7]Coat and color
The miniature pinscher will on occasion carry a small white patch generally located on neck or breast area. The miniature pinscher once came in harlequin like that which is found in the Great Dane. The harlequin gene is part of the breed's makeup but has gone in and out of fashion. Breeders for years worked to eliminate the trait, but have recently been breeding to bring the color back by mixing the rat terrier into the miniature pinscher, though the result is merle and not harlequin because they do not have the harlequin modifier or any white besides the small white patch on the breast.
Temperament
Care
Grooming is easy, as the smooth, short-haired coat requires little attention, needing only occasional brushing and shampooing.[14] Care must be taken in cold weather. Sweaters or baby blankets for a miniature pinscher keep it from getting too cold. [15] Miniature pinschers are an active breed and will need access to a fenced yard, or be given a daily walk.
