About Our Rescue

Peke-A-Tzu Rescue is a small breed rescue located in White Cloud, Michigan. We rescue dogs from local animal shelters, animal control facilities and private owners. All are fostered in our homes until they find their “Forever Home”. Before being placed all dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots, house trained and leash trained. All of these babies take a lot of love and care to address emotional and medical issues before they are placed.

Our adoption donations are based on actual vetting cost plus $50.00 to cover in home expenses such as food. A copy of vetting cost will be supplied to adopter to verify adoption donation. Adoption donation will not exceed $250.00. Donations will cover any additional vetting cost should it exceed $250.00. There may be exceptions to this policy on occasion which will be stated in the Adoption Listing.

Our adoption procedure includes an Application, followed by a Verification of References and a Home Visit.

All donations are welcomed and can be paid through www.paypal.com and paid to pekeatzurescue or sent directly to the Peke A Tzu Rescue’s physical address. Any donations will be recorded and a monthly report sent to those that donate showing expenditure and income. We are a non profit rescue and want those that are kind enough to donate to be assured that all monies are going to the dogs.

About Us

Peke-A-Tzu Rescue provides a loving, caring environment for all of those that arrive. When the dogs come through our door they are part of our family - what is ours is theirs. Never are they crated or kenneled, but are welcomed to our couches and beds with open arms. We immediately address any health issues and all are brought up to date on shots, heartworm tested and spayed/neutered. Then the most heart wrenching care begins. To let them know that they are loved and wanted, that each in their own are very special, to put light back in their eyes, to teach them to trust a human again. There is no better feeling than to see one of these babies take little steps toward being once again, a healthy, happy, loving being. The greatest reward is that first kiss, seeing the tail wagging, having beautiful eyes looking at you with total trust. This is what rescue is all about - loving, nurturing and helping these wonderful creatures become whole once again.

Our adoption policies are very stringent. We believe in socializing all dogs and will not place until we know that they are whole once again. There are sometimes issues that we cannot overcome, but we place these particular dogs in homes that will continue to work with all issues. We refuse to let any of our dogs go hastily, we firmly believe that time needs to be taken before we know who they really are. Each is a special individual to us and all are treated with gentleness and kindness.

We are a small breed rescue, but are out here helping all dogs. We do not have the facilities to house larger breeds, but when we find a larger breed in need we make every effort to transfer them to a reputable rescue. We have been fortunate to have helped St. Bernards, Great Danes, Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Black Labradors and Standard Poodles. We hope that we can continue to aid all breeds.

We also have a very soft spot in our hearts for the Senior Dogs. They are loving, wonderful companions that deserve a good home no matter what amount of time they may have left. They should not be discarded and shoved to the side. These dogs are no different than our Senior Citizens - they deserve a quiet, loving environment in their later years.

We sometimes receive negative comments from potential adopters for they feel we are bias, unreasonable in our placement policies, but our only concern is for the dog and we know what they need and work very hard to find that Perfect Home for them. They deserve the best that we can provide for them.

We are very passionate about all of our babies. When you first hold these kids in your arms the tears flow. Even though many are matted, starved, flea covered, teeth rotting, eyes running they still have enough energy to look at you with eyes full of hope. That first soft touch and "I Love You" in that soft fuzzy ear begins the healing process.

Please help educate all around you about rescue. Let people know that we are out here willing to take these dogs into our lives. If you no longer can care for your pet please do not drop them at shelters, along side the road or make the decision to have them euthanized. They all deserve so much more. Let people know about the atrocities of the puppy millers and backyard breeders. Educate those around you that purchasing from the Pet Stores is supporting and feeding the puppy millers.

We appreciate all that have taken the time to visit us. We hope that our site will provide you with information that can be passed on to others. If you can help save just one dog because you have visited us today then we, as a rescue have had one more prayer answered.
