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 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

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. 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. The first step to adopting is to fill out an application for adoption. Once approved we will arrange a time for you to meet the animal you are interested in. If it is a match the adoption can then be completed and you can take home your new furry family member. If it is not a match we will file your approved application and you can wait till you find the perfect match. ##2082876##

Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home.  Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially in the life of your new canine companion. A note to those looking at CPR.  We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone.  Our job is to find those someone's.  Our most successful adopters come to CPR not because they want a dog.  They come to us because they want to give a dog a home.  We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture.  While we like to know what you like in looks, a dog is more than a pretty face.  Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home.  We want to create furever families.  Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today.  We'll update as more information is known.  Are you looking to adopt within the next 30 days?  If so please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and complete the application.  You'll find it in the menu on the left hand side.  You'll also find a total listing of all our dogs available.  Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes?  Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email.  We'll add you to our mailing list. thanks the CPR Adoption team   in VPDate into Rescue:  06/25/24 Reason for being in rescue:  breeder release/breeder retiring Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Yang is up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Yang is part of a group of dogs that are currently recovering from extremely poor living conditions. The conditions that we are clearing include sarcoptic mange, skin infections from dirty conditions and lack of grooming, intestinal parasites, and respiratory infections. Every dog has at least one of these conditions; some have multiple. Full records will go with every dog. Yang is estimated as a shih tzu / chihuahua mix. He is not hypoallergenic and will shed. Weight: 3.5 lbs and growing - we expect Yang will be between 14-18 lbs when full grown Height: 6 in and growing - we expect Yang will be 12 in when full grown Spayed/Neutered: No. Due to his age and size, Yang is not neutered. He will be adopted on a spay/neuter addendum that requires you to neuter him at your cost within 9 months and provide proof of neuter. Adoption Fee: $399 Fence needed? No, but he would love one! What kind of home would be best for me? Yang is looking for an active home that is ready to tire him out both mentally and physically. Yang is just a baby and needs to learn everything from walking on a leash to his basic commands. The time you spend walking and teaching him will enable you to form a tight knit bond with Yang. Your partnership will grow into a life-long loving relationship that will have you forever thankful that you took the chance on Yang, a wonderful little pup. Yang's a puppy, he will play with all other dogs as well as the cats here. Some cats don't take kindly to his play so be certain your cat is ready for an energetic puppy. When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!  Yang needs another dog in the home - preferably a small or medium dog under the age of 8 and able to play with him.  Puppies are always in need of a canine friend, they love to run and play with one another. Puppies are active, agile little babies, they need homes that are ready to tire them out both mentally and physically, so a fenced in yard will be required. Puppies are generally very well rounded dogs, they do not meet strangers and would do well with a nice big family or a single owner! What matters most to a puppy is a happy and excited owner ready to take on loving and training their new puppy! When raised around cats, with proper boundaries, puppies do very well. If you expect your puppy to get alone with your feline buddy, it’s important to start socializing the puppy with the cat as soon as you can!  What is my personality like? Yang is an active and agile little puppy. He has one speed, GO! He goes and goes and goes until, NAP TIME! As a puppy Yang likes to play, chew on anything he can get hold of, eat and pee and poo. He's a puppy, it's what puppies do.  PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog. Our ideal puppy adopters are: -experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets -scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home -stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc) How do I act when I first meet new people? Yang's a puppy, he loves everybody! Come play with me! Other tips and tidbits: Yang is estimated at under 6 months old. We celebrate his birthday 04/19/2024 House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule. Please note - we do not ship dogs.  If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip.  Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina.   To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application. Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home.   You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc.  Others here may be a better fit for you.  It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description.  Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a  dog not in our listings yet.  We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you. Thank you for considering CPR. August 19, 2024, 4:37 pm

No. While a fenced in yard isn't mandatory, Reno would love to romp around a safe fenced space under your watchful eye to burn off some of his energy.  What kind of home would be best for me? Reno is like any pup, full of energy, curious, and learning new things each and every day. He will easily blend into his adopter's home whether it is a house or apartment, and he will do well with a single adopter, a couple, or a family. Reno would be the ideal forever friend for your child 10 years old and up. He requires a home with another active dog for play and socialization. What matters the most to Reno is that his adopter is happy, excited, and ready to take on loving and training him. This engaging little pup will be the light of your life, come see him before he's off spreading light and love to another.

He zooms around, chew on anything he can get hold of (he's especially fond of finger food - YOUR fingers), eats, sleeps and pees and poos. Then he does it all again. When he finally crashes, he takes a long, well-deserved nap. It's just what puppies do.  PUPPY POLICY: Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family.
