FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is Fuzzy Pawz so selective about who adopts a dog?

We put a huge amount of time, love, and expense into each Shih Tzu in our rescue. As a result, we have too much invested to not be selective with the precious ones in our care. Our commitment is to our dogs, not the potential adopter. Our goal is to make sure our dogs will never again find themselves in the horrible situation from which we rescued them.

Why are the adoption fees so high?

We do not profit from the donations and our volunteers are not paid for their service.
Adoption fees are put in a pool and used to help cover the basic medical expenses and
boarding costs. Each dog is given a thorough examination by our veterinarians, which includes blood work, vaccinations, heartworm test, heartworm preventative, fecal test and wormer if necessary, treated for fleas/ticks if necessary, spay or neuter surgery if the dog is not altered, and a teeth cleaning if needed. Adoption fees sometimes don't even cover these basics. Any additional medical needs have to be paid with donations from our faithful donors.
