Dogs in rescue homes here have a bed, a blanket, a toy and regular walks. Dogs in public shelters in Romania, for example, have nothing to lie on except for mud or concrete, have to jostle for space with 2 dozen other dogs and have no shelter from the -20 temperatures of winter - which sees many of them perish.
From Danny's link
"His name means little lion, but there’s nothing fierce about this dog breed. The Shih Tzu is a lover, not a hunter. Bred solely to be a companion, the Shih Tzu is an affectionate, happy, outgoing housedog who loves nothing more than to follow his people from room to room. In recent years, however, owners have started taking the Shih Tzu off their laps and into dog sports, training him for obedience, rally, and agility competitions."
So how about Barry (White), Marvin (Gaye), Tom (Jones), Casanunda (http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Giamo_Casanunda)

Wee Chappie, Chappie for short.
I have recently rehomed a rescue dog from a local animal charity in my town and after I'd decided I'd have her and met her a couple of times, I was told she was from Spain where the kennels out there are nowhere near as good as ours. I was slightly upset as I agree with some on here that we have plenty of dogs who need rehoming, BUT I had met her and she was bonding with me so I went ahead with it as I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to have her after we had bonded. A difficult issue.

It is a difficult situation but as said above the prime reason for bringing dogs over from public shelters abroad is to save them from starving, freezing or being beaten or attacked by other dogs. Shelter dogs in this country have a much better life and even if they are put down it is done humanely which is not the case in many shelters abroad. Our breed supports the occasional rescue from Romania or elsewhere if we can help get one over here and into a new home. The rescue we work with is Pooches2Paradise who arrange for the dogs to be released, prepared for travel and then transported over to a foster home or rescue kennel. I am sure they would be grateful for any support.
