Hi All,

Please meet Deanna, Faith, Jeannie, Andy, Gentry and Lenny. All are Pekingese and were born November 18, 2025. They range in weight from 9 lbs to 11 lbs. They are breeder turn ins due to kennel downsizing. All will be available the latter part of June after full vetting. You can find our adoption application at www.pekeatzurescuemichigan.com. Also any donations to help with vetting expenses are surely welcome and can be sent to www.paypal.com and paid to www.pekeatzurescueinmichigan.com or you can mail donation to Peke A Tzu Rescue, PO Box 1, Trufant, MI 49347.

All are currently in puppy cuts.

We are offering you some information for we know many who visit us love the Shih Tzu. We wanted to give you a bit of a comparison between the Pekingese and the Shih Tzu. We love both of the breeds dearly, but of course there are some differences.

If you meet both breeds in one afternoon, the Pekingese usually leaves a “small dog with a big opinion” impression. There is a slow, proud feel to many of them. They can be affectionate, but they often hand out affection on their own terms. That old court-dog attitude still shows.

The Shih Tzu tends to feel softer in manner. Many are cheerful little hosts who want to be in the middle of home life. They still have a stubborn streak, yet their social style is often lighter and more easygoing. That can make them feel less intense than a Pekingese, even when both are standing still under a long coat.

That said, shared roots do not erase their different moods. A family that loves a bright, outgoing lap dog may lean toward the Shih Tzu. A person who likes a tiny dog with a proud, cat-like streak may fall hard for the Pekingese. Neither choice is “better.” The fit depends on the home and the owner’s patience with grooming.

Memorial Day is about coming together to honor those who gave their all for our country. We pupsters ask that all of you please pause for just a moment from whatever you may be doing today in remembrance and respect for those that have given their lives for our country and protected the freedom that many take for granted.

We pupsters are so excited!!! Our brother Rowdy found a fantastic home. You know he is a senior boy and unfortunately adopters are not plentiful for the older babies. You wouldn't have known he was 11 years young for he kept us younger pups in line. All he had to do is give us that "look" and we listened. In fact he has a birthday in 8 days and we know he will have quite the party. He sent us a message to let us know he is being spoiled and loves his home and all of the attention he is getting. He also wanted us to see his new "do" and thinks he looks quite dapper. Happy "Furever Home" Rowdy!!!!

Our little Billy fka Mikey is loving his new home. He is doing great and we are so proud of him. He is the one and only so is certainly enjoying all of the attention he is getting. He already has his Mom and Dad wrapped around his little paws. He was Mr. Personality here and we and his pupster friends are missing him.

Goal: $10,000
Well I messed up. In the midst of everyday crazy rescue I forgot Jan our Directors Birthday. Typically we have a fundraiser pointing out needs within the rescue to raise money to honor Jan, but yes I goofed.
So all of you know the everyday expense of rescue is ginormous and truthfully we have been turning away dogs in need.
So our “late” fundraiser is to get us out of the red.
To give you an idea to date fees have incurred regarding Bart is totaling:
$3474.00.
You can imagine…. now include the others up for adoption and our dogs in our sanctuary program.
Any help is appreciated!!!
Thank you,
Toni
