Story
Meet Zach – The Sweetest Scruffy Little Elf Looking for Love! Say hello to Zach, an adorable Shih Tzu and Jack Russell mix with the perfect blend of charm and cuddly vibes! Weighing just 11 pounds, Zach is a delightful little guy with a wiry coat and a heart full of love to share. At 6 years old, he’s reached that wonderful age where he’s calm, easygoing, and oh-so-ready to settle into his forever home. Zach’s story is one of love and loss. His devoted owner recently passed away, leaving him without a family to call his own. Fortunately, a kind foster stepped forward to care for him, and now Critter Cavalry Rescue is on the hunt for his perfect match. Zach is the ideal companion for just about anyone! He’s a low-maintenance, snuggly little guy with an easygoing personality. Whether you’re a retired individual or couple, a young family looking for a calm companion, or empty nesters ready for a travel buddy, Zach fits the bill. He’s a leash-walking pro, rides like a dream in the car, and gets along great with other dogs—perfect for families with pets or those who visit friends and family with furry companions. With his endearing scruffy look and semi-low-shedding coat, Zach is not just cute—he’s irresistibly charming. This little “elf on the shelf” is ready to bring love and joy to his new home, and we know the perfect match is out there waiting for him. If you’d like to make Zach part of your family, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Let’s find this little sweetheart the forever home he deserves!     PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comDecember 12, 2024, 10:09 pm

Story
Gizmo and Lulu are beyond perfection. They are funny, engaging and sweet. Perfect amount of energy for straight up companionship. Gizmo is an 11 year old, 20 lb. purebred Shih Tzu. Lulu is an 8 year old, 18 lb. mixed breed small dog. They are not siblings but have been together their whole lives. They are bonded and look out for each other and are always together but also want to snuggle with humans at the same time. They enjoy short walks and low key play time and get along with other dogs. They are perfect for a family looking for low maintenance fun fur babies. They are spayed, neutered and up to date on vaccines. We require adopters to have a safe and secure backyard - not electric or Fido fences as they are not as safe at containing dogs or keeping other animals or people out. For these reasons we do not adopt to homes with electric or Fido fencing. The adoption fee is $275 for each dog, which includes age appropriate vaccines, microchip, monthly flea, tick and heart worm preventatives at time of adoption.

If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.December 17, 2024, 5:29 am

OMAR walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick.  He enjoys hanging with his humans and chewing on his bully sticks.  He is also crate trained but it is hard to leave him in a crate when I am home because he has a fit wanting to get out.  He likes toys and runs zoomies in the yard with the other dogs.

Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.HAZEL says 'HI' and she would love to have a home of her own to love and care for her.  She loves to get her head rubbed and just hang out with her human to be close.  She is a great cuddler and just loves to hang around you.   At 3 years old and 12 pounds she makes a great companion for any family that is willing to let her hang out with you and just give her the love and attention she so deserves. HAZEL and her son were owner surrendered to me by a backyard breeder who only had the dogs in her home to make money.  Surprisingly HAZEL has a great, quiet and mild temperament with no aggression in any area.  When I put her out to potty I have to make sure to leave her out a while because she tries to get right back in to follow me around the house.
