Story
Prince is a 13-15 year old shih tzu mix.  Found as a stray, this sweet boy faced numerous health hurdles, including severe eye and skin issues, which ultimately led to the loss of one of his eyes. But don't let that fool you-he is thriving now, healthy, happy, and ready to snuggle up with his person under the fluffiest blanket. Though he's blind and deaf, Prince is incredibly loving and affectionate. His perfect day is spent in the company of his favorite humans and animals (he's great with both cats and dogs). His ideal world is all about comfort, cuddles, and a cozy spot to nap. Prince may be a senior pup, but he's still got plenty of love to give. Because of his age, he needs a little extra care throughout the day, with frequent potty breaks to avoid accidents-though he's perfectly content to sleep through the night without any issues. If you're looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion who just wants to curl up beside you and share his warm, gentle energy, Prince could be the perfect addition to your home!  Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.

Story
  Sarge is a tiny 10-pound Papillon/Chihuahua mix with a fluffy coat, a gentle soul, and a future that is just beginning to unfold. At just 1–2 years old, he has already overcome a difficult start in life after being rescued from a massive hoarding and breeding situation where more than  190 dogs were removed. For much of his early life, Sarge knew very little about kindness or human connection. When Sarge first entered foster care, he was frightened and unsure of the world around him. Thanks to the patience and love of his foster mom, he has made beautiful progress. Each day brings more curiosity, more trust, and more confidence. Watching him discover what it means to be safe and loved has been incredibly rewarding.   Sarge is learning that people can be wonderful. He now adores lap time, soaking up attention, and being someone’s special little guy. While he still needs time to fully trust and build confidence, his potential is undeniable. With consistency, reassurance, and positive experiences, this boy is going to absolutely shine. We believe Sarge would thrive with a committed adopter who understands that confidence is built step by step. Regular walks and a securely fenced yard would help him continue gaining independence and courage. He would do best in a home with older children or adults who can give him the time and structure he needs.    Sarge is crate trained and totally housebroken.  He loves to go for walks on a leash and we feel that a fenced yard and another confident dog to be his mentor and best friend would be the best home setting for him. He is a beautiful work in progress, and the joy will be in watching him become the more confident, happy dog he was always meant to be — just a little delayed by circumstances beyond his control. If you’re ready to invest your heart in a dog with incredible promise, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.   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.comJanuary 11, 2026, 4:14 pm
