Story

Templeton. Kinda makes you think of an English movie with some guy in a smoking jacket with leather patches on the elbows, standing in a library in front of a fire, doesn't it? But don't worry, I am not at all like that! When I was at the animal control, I guess they ran out of "normal dog names, and they gave me this one to try to make me feel better or special or something. I was found as a stray in a neighboring town and my hair was so long and so matted together, they would have to carry me around. I could hardly move and when I did, it hurt and pulled. After foster mom got me, it took her and the groomer 4 hours to get all the matts and tangles off me so that I could actually walk again. Boy, did that feel better! Over the next few days, I went to the vet and had some x-rays done and was found to have some degenerative disc disease in my upper back and the medications they gave me really helped a Lot! I feel like a new puppy!! I am an 8-year-old shih tzu mix and get along with everyone at my foster mom's house. Big dogs, little dogs, puppies, kitties or cats...they are all ok with me. I walk like a dream on a leash and am potty trained. I will bark to go outside here. And I sleep in my own little doggie bed at night. I will be happy in a house that has friendly pets and nice people but I am not sure how I am with small children so that is probably not the best for me. Older, dog-friendly children would be ok. But I have a couple of must haves. I feel good on my medicines so I would like to go to a house that will keep me on them. Cosequin, fish oil and meloxicam or whatever your vet will order for me to keep me pain free. AND I need to have regular grooming. I don't want to be a matted mess ever again!! If you can give me those two things, please apply to adopt me! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story

  This precious little girl is called Tristen, a beauty that is seeking a person that understands her past and wants to change her future.  This beautiful girl is only a year old and 15 pounds of such potential and yet complex emotions.  She was found on the side of a rural road in a crate and no one in sight.  She was ragged and long in need of a groom as a beautiful Shih Tzu lurked underneath all the mats. She was angry and we understand why….or do we?  She lived some sort of neglectful life with indifferent people who eventually and cruelly just threw her away.  She desires love because don’t we all?  She will growl as if to ward you off but deep down she is just wanting you to see beyond her tough exterior growl and to love her.  She isn’t really biting but she can make that scary growl while all the time scooting close to you for a pet and some love.  Confused?  Yes she is trying to figure out if she can trust some of these new humans in her life because the past humans were not nice.   This girl is so young and so easy to truly convince that her short life of no love is all just something in the rearview mirror for her.  We have transported her to a loving foster who understands the confused ones who send mixed signals.  This girl is destined to be a gem and a treasure and to one day lay down the growl and never do it again.  Until then, we are seeking an experienced human who knows that Tristen just wants love while seeming to push you away  and hoping that you don’t run.    She is housetrained…. Bravo Tristen and she can be crated but really not necessary if you are gone.  She is good with other dogs and she is living with cats although she will bark at them just to be sassy.  She is shaved down for obvious reasons and she is seeking a strong and loving family who will be patient as she learns to leave her old self at the door and put on the new self as she enters your home.  If you are interested, so are we!  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   A calm and mature home is best for her….no children under the age of 12 please.   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.comMay 13, 2024, 9:56 pm
