Story
Jessie is a mostly sweet boy who, once he overcomes his initial distrust of people, bonds quickly with his humans. He loves to sit with his people and just chill, but he also enjoys playing with other dogs. Jessie has an old back injury which has resulted in some weakness in his hind legs. Even though he walks a little funny, he does not let that stop him in the least! He can hold his own during playtime with other dogs. Jessie is not fond of the groomer, but is just fine unless the groomer is working on his face or feet. We believe that he was abused in the past, but is thriving in a home where he is loved.     Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.

Dexter is a loving and sweet little boy. He loves to play fetch and squeak his toys before pulling all the fluff out. He is sometimes a little skittish and easily frightened. Definitely likes inside more than outside but is trained to scratch at the back door to go potty.

Story
Mighty Handsome Milo is our happy offering in the Shih Tzu loving dog world. It is rare to have such a young and healthy male to offer.  He is only 3-4 years old and 14 pounds and came to us as a very raggedy boy that you could not even see his eyes under all the hair.  He was a neglected surrender and we were so happy to take him in and transform his life.  He is the sweetest thing ever and he loves everyone he meets.  Dogs, cats, people, it doesn't matter two legged or four. He just wants to be everyone's friend.  Mighty Handsome Milo has been around kids around 8 yrs old but not toddlers and so we will not consider families with young young children for everyone’s best interest.  He loves to play with other dogs his own size so a playmate would be a plus if you have another small dog. He would like to have a fenced in yard as he likes to roam around the yard and play with his foster roommates.   A constant leash walk might be confining and ultimately no fun!!!! He walks on a leash really well and is crate trained and doing good on his house training. Milo didn't know about steps until he came here and now goes up and down 4 steps to the yard like a pro.  He is adorable and loves to cuddle and give you all the kisses you want in life.  Toys are a favorite pastime to wile away the hours.  Don’t miss this rare offering in a young Shih Tzu who has a good 12+ years to add to your lifetime of loving a dog. If you are interested then please write to us about Critter Cavalry Rescue,  ccrnewengland@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.comAugust 20, 2024, 1:48 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Winston Churchill is a sweet old soul.  He is about 9 years old and weighs 23 pounds.   Mr Churchill is a funny little guy who is now loving life.  We got him from an animal shelter and he was suffering from entropion in both of his eyes.  This means his eyelashes were turned inward and scratching his eyeballs.  We had surgery done and he is feeling much better, he only needs daily eye drops now.   Winston also had a very bad flea allergy and was missing most of his fur.  We have treated that and will keep a close eye out for any future skin irritations.  Winston would love a house with a loving family that is home often.  He is an older guy and just wants to hang with his humans.  He is good with other dogs but does not have to have one to be happy.   If you would like to meet Winston Churchill please fill out an application from our website.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 19, 2024, 6:12 pm
