My Nonprofit Reviews

As I write this review one of the 5 pups we've adopted from New Beginnings Shih Tzu Rescue is sound asleep on my chest. She was on the auction block in Missouri with an impacted tooth and infection the size of a golf ball...another victim of a puppy mill. When she was turned over to NBSTR, their loving team immediately took her to an emergency veterinarian. And so started the long process of her healing and having most of her teeth pulled. The doctor thought she was probably in pain for at least a year. NBSTR is a group of volunteers who devote their lives to saving dogs from puppy mills..dogs who live in horrible conditions with no dental or health care and do nothing but produce puppies and live in scorching hot barns in cages in the summer...or if they are unfortunate enough to be in a cage near the outside walls of the barn, they freeze to death in winter. And when they no longer can "produce", they are sent to auction or killed. Yes folks...this is the reality the volunteers at NBSTR deal with day after day. Their mission is to not only save these dogs, but to match them with a patient, loving owner. Anyone who says anything negative about this group...you should be ashamed of yourself. Your negative comments could prevent someone from adopting one of their dogs and rob that pup from a chance to be loved and a part of a family. If you have a problem or complaint, give them a chance to address it instead of blasting them on social media. They made it very clear to me with each adoption that I could return any dog to them if it didn't work out. Try walking a mile in their shoes. Most of us couldn't "do it" ...we would be too upset to think about and see how puppy mill dogs suffer. We live in a world of scams and mistrust and people who are quick to criticize. New Beginnings Shih Tzu Rescue is the real deal....and the proof is curled up and still asleep on my chest.
