Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

My name is Bailey and I am a certified Cutie Pie Bichon boy that is just a tad over 2 years of age and weighing 10-12 pounds. I am having to change my life around because my owner is a college student and her mom cannot care for me while she is off to college out of state. My young student mom is so heartbroken but she realizes that she has no time for me while in school and she wants me to have lots of attention and care from someone that will treasure me. Yes, I need to be groomed, but right now grooming appts. are tough to get quickly. My young mom contacted Critter Cavalry Rescue and was under a deadline for me to be surrendered immediately as she was going back to college the end of July. I am neutered and fully vetted. I prefer a mature environment with no small/young children as they make me nervous sometimes. I am going to be a prize for someone that has lots of time to take me for long walks and maybe they will work from home or will be a SAHM too. I have a long life ahead of me and I want someone that can care for me the next 15 years. If you think you can check all my boxes on my wish list that includes, taking me on long walks, grooming every 12 weeks, dentals that I will need later as I get older, bloodwork that I will need as I approach 6 or 7 years and just overall quality time every day, then please apply. I am excited about meeting the person that Critter Cavalry Rescue chooses. Could it be you? Write to them at ccrnewengland@gmail.comJuly 26, 2024, 2:09 pm

Story

Step right up and meet our Magnificent and Marvelous Milo! At 2-years-young, this 59 pound social ringleader has a coat that shines as bright as his personality. No need to lift any barbells to prove his strength, just bust out a leash and you’ll find that beneath all that floof lies lots of athletic muscle. Come play time, grab some popcorn and watch as this joyfully bouncy boy entertains himself with plushies galore. An active home that can juggle both mental and physical exercise for this silly clown would for sure be fun under the big top! The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon!
