Keep in mind that Shih Tzu rescues are organizations that try to find quality, lifetime homes for the dogs and puppies under their care. These rescue groups take in Shih Tzus for a variety of reasons.

Then the Shih Tzu is placed in a volunteer foster home where they will remain until a permanent home has been found. Many of the Shih Tzu rescue groups are strong advocates of the "No Kill" policy which basically means that euthanasia will not be performed on their Shih Tzus, even if a permanent home is never found.
