Every time we lose a dog,
they take a piece of our hearts with them.
Every new dog who comes into our lives
gifts us with a piece of their heart.
If we live long enough all the components of our hearts
will be a dog, and we will become as
generous and loving as they are.

We are an Animal Protection Shelter registered with the State of Michigan and function under a Special Use Permit within our township.
We are located in Trufant, Michigan. The rescue is comprised of volunteers donating their time and love. We do not receive any money from city, county, state or federal governments. The volunteers are not paid except with pupster kisses and adoration.
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. All vetting needs are addressed upon arrival with the appropriate follow up vet visits. We keep an update of total vetting costs at
Foster Vetting Costs.
Please visit our Available Dogs.
We do adopt out of state, but request that the Adopter fly in or drive in to get the baby.
Additional information on adoption can be found at
Adoption Guidelines.
Peke A Tzu Rescue is devoted to helping all babies in need, but our hearts belong to those that need us the most…the physical and mentally challenged and the seniors. We pray every day that there is someone out there for these special babies that will take them into their hearts and homes. Until that special home comes along they are part of our family and we love them dearly. We also know when we commit to these babies that they may be here with us for the rest of their lives. We offer the sanctuary and love that they need and in return they fill our lives with joy.
We feel blessed to have these babies in our home to snuggle and love and will continue to devote our lives to those that need us the most.
A wonderful way for those of you that maintain a lifestyle that prohibits you from physically helping these sweet kids is through sponsorship. It costs over $75.00 per month to vet, groom and feed each of our Sanctuary Babies.
Our Sanctuary babies only ask for a monthly commitment on your part of $25.00.

100% of all donations are applied to our vet fund. The Director of the rescue maintains our website so that we do not have website fees with the exception of server costs. Many of the Gift Shop items are donated by volunteers so that the rescue receives 100% of the sales proceeds. We have been selling
and
for 20 years. If your dogs are in
need please click on the links above.
Caring for our senior and special needs dogs requires a significant and often long term financial commitment. If you would like to help us continue our work please make a tax-deductible donation. Thank you for your support. All donations are welcomed and can be paid through PayPal

please review our
Adoption Guidelines
before completing an
Application.
I am a very handsome brindle Shih Tzu Pekingese boy. My owner had to go into assisted living and there was no family willing to take me in so here I am with the other PATR pupsters.
If you want a lap buddy I am the one for you! There is nothing better than being cuddled and loved on. I love playtime with the other pupsters, but I can be a bit bossy at times. I enjoy the toys and love to snuggle with Mom and Dad at night. I am a bit shy when meeting people and still a bit unsure of myself at times. I have this adorable way of sitting up and looking at you with my beautiful eyes. I will need a fenced in yard to romp and play in and no children please.
I am working on house training and leash training and do well during grooming.
Through July 2026 the cost to meet my daily needs is $2572.00 which includes vetting, food, heartworm medication, flea protection and grooming.
Total veterinarian costs can be seen at Foster Vetting Costs.
