Story
Meet Carlton – A Spunky Little Gentleman with a Big Personality! Carlton is a 6-year-old purebred Shih Tzu with the heart and energy of a pup. Weighing in at just 11 pounds and wrapped in a soft cream coat sprinkled with light beige spots, this little guy is as handsome as he is charming.  Carlton has the zest and playful spirit of a much younger dog.. His sweet personality combined with his adorable looks win over everyone he meets.  He’s smart, observant, and full of curiosity about the world around him. Carlton is housebroken, fully vetted, rides well in the car, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He walks on a leash, though he does like to take the lead—something that a confident, experienced owner can easily guide him through with a little patience and consistency. Though crates aren’t exactly his favorite, Carlton will settle down once inside, and we expect he’ll become more comfortable with crate time as he adjusts to his new routine and surroundings. Carlton came to Critter Cavalry Rescue after his previous family, who loved him deeply, could no longer keep up with his grooming and vet care. They made the difficult decision to surrender him in hopes he’d find a home where he could be fully cared for and cherished. We promised them we’d find just that—and we believe it’s out there. Carlton is going to be someone’s little jewel, and we’re so excited for what the future holds for him. Could you be the one he’s been waiting for? Located in Nashville, TN – transport available to the Northeast Email: ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more or apply!   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.comApril 26, 2025, 11:59 pm
