Bluegrass Shih-Tzu Rescue

A small, fluffy dog with a tan and white coat lying on green grass in a park, with trees and a blurred background.

We are a small team of volunteers who compassionately find loving homes for homeless, neglected and abused animals. We work diligently to facilitate the foster and adoption of mostly shih-tzus and other small non-shedding breeds.

Meet Sprout!

Calling our Yorkie fans ! Look who is now in our rescue

Sprout is a yorkie mix who loves all people. He is three years old and weighs ten pounds. Sprout is very smart and learns new commands easily. He loves nothing more than to be with his people and will follow them wherever they go. He loves to play fetch and tug of war and has a special love for squeaky toys. Sprout loves to hike and ride in the car and has excellent recall. He is housebroken and is able to be left alone and loose in the house when his people are away. He will use a puppy pad if he is unable to get outside. Sprout is allergic to all foods except for six foods. He is on a special dog food and takes allergy meds as needed. He also has three vertebrae that are close together and sometimes cause him pain. He has muscle relaxers and pain meds that he takes as needed. His symptoms are easily controlled at this point. Sprout currently lives w three cats and one other small dog. He loves to play with one of the cats and the dog. Two of the cats don’t like him and he ignores them. Sprout needs to find a new home due to a family member that is allergic to dogs. He is a sweet and gentle dog who would do best in a calm home with no kids or older kids.
