Hello, I’m with DFW Tzus and More Rescue. We rescue mainly Shih Tzus and Lhasa Apsos, but also rescue other small breeds. Would you be able to list us on the Breed-Specific Rescue(TX) page? Our website is http://www.dfwtzusandmorerescue.com.
Thanks!

I’ve added DFW Tzus and More Rescue in the Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso categories. I’ll revise the page to include a general small breed rescue–and include DFW Tzus and More Rescue there, too. Hope it helps drive traffic to your organization. Thanks for rescuing!

I’m the Texas Regional Coordinator for the Internet Miniature Pinscher Service. Have to compliment you on this site! Great information.
Please add IMPS (Internet Miniature Pinscher Service, http://www.minpinrescue.org) – we have volunteers all over Texas, especially in Dallas and Houston areas.
Thank you-
Katherine Harlan
