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
For inquiries email kathyb@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $300 Location: Norfolk, VA Hi friends. I was adopted but returned because I could not get along with the cat! :( Things to consider when applying to adopt Farley: senior shih tzu/mini poodle mix 18-20 pounds VISUALLY IMPAIRED needs a fenced yard NO children - their sudden, unpredictable movements scare him does NOT like to be groomed (may require a shave down under sedation quarterly) he is tolerant of calm, social dog DOES NOT like cats Farley has been with our rescue for a few months now. He is a 20 pound, 10 year old, visually impaired, senior Shih Tzu/Mini-Poodle mix. He gets along well with the resident dogs in the home. He loves attention. Farley's ideal home would be an all adult, quiet home where he can roam a fenced yard to sniff and explore, eat his two meals daily and sleep as he pleases, where he pleases. He LOVES a soft fluffy, calming bed to lounge upon. He is basically looking to retire with his own butler/chambermaid! LOL Farley deserves better than he was given. Will you be his HERO?? **He is not a fan of grooming or nail clipping. **Absolutely NO children. While he is not aggressive towards them, he is visually impaired and does not understand a child's sudden movements.

Story
For inquiries email celia@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $400 Location: Silver Spring, MD Noel is new in rescue. She is a retired breeding dog. She is approximately 7 years old and weighs about 12 pounds.She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is ready for her forever home. Noel has started to integrate into the family routine. Shes spending more time outside of the open crate,and she spent a good part of the daytoday in a sunny spot on a blanket soaking up the morning rays. She deserves a well earned retirementafter all those years as a puppy mill breeder. Shes eating great, and is going potty outside regularly. She sleeps very quietly in the crate at night. Shes still skittish around humans and doesnt yet initiate human contact, however shes been wagging her tail when I walk into the room!! If I place her on my lap, she will cuddle upand sleep. Well continue to work on the wonders of GOOD human contact and I anticipate that shell come out of her shell more each day! Things to consider when adopting Noel" retired breeder dog (may be shy for a while) house training is in progress she will need help learning to walk on lead grooming every 4-6 weeks to maintain coat regular bathing (every 1-2 weeks between grooming appointments) will help keep her coat in good condition she will need a slow, patient approach once adopted Please visit our website www.compactcaninerescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and see other adoptable dogs.

She was a breeder dog from Pennsylvania so she is learning how to be a pet. Lexie eats well and sleeps through the night. She was just spayed so she is taking it easy for a couple of weeks. She was shaved down when she came into rescue but we are sure that she will have a beautiful coat once her hair begins to grow longer. Lexie will need to learn how to walk on a leash. She shows some interest in toys. We havent determined if she is house trained yet but so far no accidents. Read about the the Shih Tzu breedhere Things to consider when applying to adopt Lexie: Requires leash training Friendly with both men and women Tolerates other dogs Requires professional grooming Not tested with kids Not tested with cats Appears to ride well in cars Please follow us on social media for the most up to date photos and information.
