Story
Meet Hamilton!! This very sweet and cuddly boy is looking for a family willing to love him for the time he has left. He's currently happy and loving life however he does have kidney failure. This requires no special daily care aside from specific food to eat and some eye drops for unrelated dry eye. He's still full of life and would be a great companion for you in the time he has left. Per the vet there is nothing more to do medically aside for loving and spoiling him until he declines past a good quality of life. Hamilton is an approx 10 year old male Shihtzu mix. He weighs 9 pounds. (Still has some staining on his feet but it should fade over time.) He has recently been updated on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. He has had a recent heartworm test and was negative. He has also had a recent grooming and a full dental surgery done. He is all set on his vetting for a while and will come with a good supply of his special food. All he needs is your loving home to share. Despite his age he is still fun and happy. He's a sweet guy that is so loved by everyone that meets him. He still gets the zoomies around the yard. You'd never know there was anything medically wrong with him. Hamilton is very friendly with people. He does fine on car rides. He is crate trained and has done very well with potty training when let out often. He will also use puppy pads if he's left inside longer than he can hold it. He's good about leash walking if you use a harness. He loves to explore and wander around. He's still very full of life. He does well sleeping in a crate overnight. He's not extremely vocal but has some short bursts of barking then settles down quickly. He loves being outside. He doesn't care about rain at all. His foster says he's a dog you just fall in love with instantly. He eats well and is an easy dog to have in the home. He was great for the groomer and his foster giving him a bath. Hamilton takes some time to adjust to other dogs. He needs some time to see they are safe and won't hurt him. After a day or so he starts to open up to new doggie friends. He has not been around cats yet. He would likely do good with older and calmer kids. Kids that won't treat him like a toy and will give him space when he needs it would be the best fit. Despite being older and having the kidney issues this sweet boy is any easy companion. He is loyal and loving and just want a safe place to share his love with you. He is fairly low maintenance but still fun and outgoing. A good mix of playful and relaxed. Please consider giving him a great home for the rest of his years. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application.‼️

For inquiries email kathyb@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $300 Location: Chesapeake, VA 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 dogs 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 **He does NOT like his paws touched. **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 tolerate a child's sudden movements.

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, 8:06 am
