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
This adorable, happy dog is Cody. He is a 3 yr old, neutered male, who is just over 7lbs. Cody reminds us of a Yorkie and a ShihTzu. He has a wiggly, happy personality and loves to play with you. He gets excited around other dogs and wants to play. He is sensitive so you have to be gentle, but once you show him you are his friend, he likes to run and chase squeaky toys when you play with him. He is an affectionate little lap dog when he is tired. Cody will make a lovely companion for someone looking for a playmate. He does need boundaries and knows sit, no and no barking. This alert little guy has a big bark when he hears someone so he would not be a good match for an apartment or condo building.   You can visit this pet during our Animal Viewing Hours. Applications are accepted in person at our facility after you visit this pet out of their cage. You can call first to see if this pet is still available: 410-313-2780 Option 0.   Location: Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center 8576 Davis Rd Columbia, MD 21045 Animal Viewing Hours: ***Please call in December before visiting, to verify hours due to changes of hours for Holiday events.

Newton is looking for a family that has had dog experience. If you do not have dogs now or have not owned a dog in  the last five years, and or if you have children, Newton may not be the right dog for your family. Newton would like to have a home with a yard where he can spend some time running around.    He is an amazingly affectionate dog. Newton is a mixed breed we presume to be Shih-Tzu / Poodle mix.  He is around 23 pounds neutered and up to date with all vaccinations.  Newton ended up in a local shelter completely matted and in pain.  He was shaved down, neutered and had imbecile hernia repair.  He was too stressed out in the shelter so they reached out for a rescue group to help him.  We got there as soon as we can. Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brothers.  He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Look back here for more information as we get to know him better. Newton is a very affectionate companion.  He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you.  He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body. WHEN AN APPLICATION TO ADOPT IS APPROVED WE BRING NEWTON TO THE HOME VISIT AND MEET AND GREET, AND IF ANOTHER ANIMAL A SNIFF TEST.  WE DO NOT PLACE DOGS ON THIS VISIT.

Story
Gizmo's got it all-all those gorgeous looks (button nose much?), excellent house manners ,and big ambitions to boot. Gizmo is working on championship fetch status while he is looking for his new home. He heard people like dogs who fetch, so he's all in with the tennis ball. At home, Gizmo is cuddly, smart and quiet. When he is out walking, that ambition kicks in and he works a bit too hard to achieve "tough guy on the block" status. His strategy is to bark and yell at passings dogs to prove himself. He needs to learn a new strategy and his new family can help. Your reward will be cuteness and kisses. Gizmo lives successfully with a dog in his foster home and has lived with others in the past. Gizmo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. Gizmo is part of our Silver Paws program for senior dogs and his adoption fee is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. For more information, please email bhutcherson@petconnectrescue.org **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Hello! I’m Sparky, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix weighing in at 12 lbs. I was born on January 29, 2019, and I’m here to bring joy, love, and tons of cuddles into your life. I have a fluffy, medium-length coat that’s perfect for petting, and floppy ears that make me even cuter! I’m a very affectionate dog – I love snuggling up with people and showing them how much I care. I’ve been in homes with young kids, and I was great with them! I’m obedient, playful, and always ready for a good time. I love squeaky toys, and I’m also protective of my people... I think I'm a guard dog! I was surrendered by my previous owner because their apartment wouldn’t allow dogs, but now I’m looking for a new home where I can be loved and spoiled. I’m friendly, playful, and always ready to be your best friend. Let’s hang out, have fun, and be inseparable! ##2258288##
