What is Amber?
Amber is a gem that has long been admired and used for its beauty in jewelry and amulets since ancient times. Amber is not a stone, but actually fossilized conifer tree resin millions of years old. Throughout history amber has been valued for its healing and therapeutic powers. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed in the magic powers of amber, it was held that its electrostatic energy had the power to draw all manner of misfortune away from people. Amber is also very popular for its inclusions, or million year old insects trapped inside which give scientists a clue about what was here millions of years ago...

We are proud to announce the publication of Sincerely Yours, Duster: An American Shih Tzu. It is a 40-page, 7.5x9.5-inch, soft cover book with 35 color illustrations of Shih Tzu involved in a variety of memorable activities, plus two pages of photos featuring adopted dogs (several of them past Shih Tzu adopted from Shih Tzu Rescue of Central WI). There is a page devoted to explaining the importance of rescue organizations and the need to find more homes, to foster and adopt our loving companions.
Each book contains a number on the inside back cover. When a book is sold, that number is recorded and sent with a donation of 40% of the selling price to Shih Tzu Rescue of Central WI.
The book will retail for $12.50, so each book sold will generate a $5 donation. What could be easier? You can get more information by writing Susan at DusterDog Books, P.O. Box 620236, Middleton, WI 53562-0236.

Who We Are
Shih Tzu Rescue of Central Wisconsin is an all-volunteer organization, dedicated to saving the lives of abused, abandoned and unwanted Shih Tzu or Shih Tzu mixes. Our organization is based in Central Wisconsin. But we will adopt our rescue Shih Tzu out to homes in IL, MN, IA and MI also. Each and every dog accepted into the program undergoes a physical examination by a veterinarian, is spayed/neutered, brought up to date on shots, heart worm checked, started on monthly heart worm preventative medication, dewormed, and any other medical problems they may have will be treated prior to being adopted.
We have no shelter - all of our dogs live in foster homes in the Central Wisconsin area until we find them a home. The adoption fees are based on the age of the Shih Tzu. These fees are used to offset our vet bills and range from $125.00 to $400.00 depending on the age of the Tzu. (please note that we only accept cash, money orders or cashiers checks-NO personal checks) We do not adopt out to families with children under the age of 6 years old. To fill out an application to adopt, go to:
