My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

For inquiries email christina@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $600 Location : Chesapeake, VA Midnight is a six year-old male Shih Tzu mix. He is very friendly and affectionate. He loves to run and play in the yard. He was a stray and was at the Norfolk shelter. He had severe matting of the hair around his eyes, and he could barely see.

He is vetted and ready to be adopted He will need follow up eye care. Please visit our website www.compactcaninerescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and see other adoptable dogs.

More about this rescue

The founding members of our rescue are dog lovers. Especially, small dogs! When we saw the need to help so many small dogs of various breeds and mixes, we collaborated to form a non-breed-specific rescue to help as many small dogs as possible. Our mission is to help dogs who weigh up to 20 pounds.

Adoption is not first come first served. We match our dogs to potential owners to ensure the best outcomes for all involved! Our philosophy is: Rescue - Rehabilitate - Rejoice!

Our mission statement is as follows:
Compact Canine Rescue is a network of volunteers committed to rehabilitating small dogs and rehoming them with forever families on the east coast of the United States. We are passionate about promoting responsible pet parenting and educating the public on what makes dogs healthy and happy.
