Colorado Shih Tzu Maltese and Lhasa Apso Rescue

Are you willing to open your heart and your home to help one of our little dogs find a forever family?  Do you have a little extra time to spare? Maybe for a day, week, month, or more until an appropriate home can be found.  Then please consider fostering for the CSTMR.

Responsibilities of a Foster Family:

• Provide lots of love, affection, and belly rubs
  
• Provide transportation to and from vet and grooming appointments. (these appointments are paid for by the rescue)
• Provide time for potential forever families to learn about, meet, and visit with the dog.
  
• When necessary, work with the dog on socializing or behavioral needs
  
• Treat him or her as if he or she was your very own

I’ll never bring about world peace. I won’t single handedly save the rain forest. I’m not a brain surgeon and I’ll never transplant an organ to save a life. I don’t have the ear of a powerful politician or world power. I can’t end world hunger. I’m not a celebrity, and God knows I’m not glamorous! I’m not looked up to by millions around the world. Very few people even recognize my name. I’ll never win the Nobel prize or end global warming. There are a lot of things that I’ll never do or become.

But today I helped place an animal!

It was a small, scared, bundle of flesh and fur that was dumped at a shelter, or on the streets by unfeeling people who didn’t care what happened to it, but yet who were responsible for it having existence in the first place.

I helped find it a loving home!

It now has contentment and an abundance of love, a warm place to sleep and plenty to eat. Two little girls have a warm and playful new friend who will give them unending affection and teach them about responsibility and love. A wife and mother has a new free spirit to cuddle, nurture and care for. A husband and father has a furry friend to sit in his lap at the end of a hard day of work and help him relax and enjoy life. And he has a sense of satisfaction that when he is gone all day at work, there is a gentle spirit in his home keeping watch over his family.

No, I’m not a rocket scientist. But today, I made a difference! And I’ll do it tomorrow too, if given a chance.
