THE NEWBIES – GABRIELLE
We are the Newbies. Our names are Abercrombie, Alban, Barbie Doll, Bon Bon, Cameron, Cosmo, Droopy, Fitch, Gabrielle, Halston, Monkey, Picasso, Presley, Roux and Truffles. We are the lucky dogs who have found our way to Lone Star Shih Tzu Rescue. We are not yet ready for adoption and to be listed on Petfinder, but we are here and are in need of food, loving care, and FOSTER HOMES! We wanted you to know that there are many of us who are being taken care of “behind the scenes” and that we need your help. This little column will highlight one or two of us, to let you know who we are!
My name is Gabrielle Gillingham and I am a 10+ year old lady Shih Tzu. You can see by my picture that I am a pretty little lady with a very short haircut! I sure hope my hair grows back soon! I am a bit small and underweight right now at 10 pounds, but I hope to put on a few pounds in the coming months!
Lone Star was contacted by one of the local animal shelters about me. The local shelter thought that I was worth saving and am I ever glad of that! I have an open sore on my back that the doctors think might have been caused by a spider bite. I just had surgery to remove the spot (and they cleaned my teeth for me!) The local shelter could not take care of me and that’s why they contacted Lone Star. I am undergoing treatment for this injury now and need a bit of special care. The folks at Lone Star think that I may have been very unsocialized or abused as I am very shy and a bit withdrawn. I need to find a foster family who will be willing to help me with socialization, learning how to trust, and also to take care of my wound as it heals. If you can help me, please contact sherry352@sbcglobal.net.

Hi, I am interested in adopting a Shih Tzu puppy or young. I just had to make the decision after 15 yrs. to put Mie Wu to sleep. She was in pain with a bad back for about three yrs. being treated with meds and hospitalizations. I am lost without a little friend to love and be loved. I have had Shih Tzu’s for over 35. Please can you help me find a new friend?
