Story
About Charlie   Age 2.5years old Weight 16 pounds Energy level Medium Healthy status Healthy  Ideal home Fenced yard with someone home part of the day   Charlie came to us from a local shelter. Charlie is an affectionate Shih Tzu mix who loves toys almost as much as he loves his people. He can entertain himself for quite a while, burying his toys under blankets and pillows, walking around with a toy in his mouth, or lying on his back holding a toy with his paws. He also loves cuddle, lap, and play time with his people and will gaze adoringly into their eyes. He enjoys meeting new people (especially if a treat is involved!), but he will stay at a respectful distance and approach them on his own time.    Charlie is a sturdy boy who weighs around 16 pounds. He enjoys being the center of his guardian's world, so we are asking that he go to a home without to many dogs because we want him to be spoiled!  Charlie does great with no accidents if he is let outside in the backyard every few hours like most dogs. He will go on indoor pee pads if necessary. Charlie prefers not to be left alone for too long, so we are asking for a home with someone home part of the day.

About Ethel &#226&#128&#139Age: 11 years old Energy level: Low  Medical history: Recent dental and removal of mammary masses.  Weight:11 Breed: Shih Tzu &#226&#128&#139Ethel is a recent rescue and is doing great in her foster home. This little angel is a cuddlebug. She loves to nuzzle her head in her foster mom’s shoulder and nap snuggled up against her mom.  You might mistake her for a little baby! This cutie is housetrained but requires a potty break every few hours to avoid accidents.  Ethel does great around other dogs. She enjoys car rides to the pet store to receive her doggie treats! Her foster mom can’t say enough good things to describe Ethel’s sweet nature. She even has a Instagram page about her here: https://www.instagram.com/ethel_caring_hearts_rescue/ Ethel recently had a full dental and several mammary masses removed. To be extra safe, her new adopters will need to be vigilant and watch the areas where the masses were removed in case there is any new growth. Ethel had a full blood chemistry and urinalysis and is in good shape. She now needs a home where she will be cherished forever—she deserves it!   Adoption Link: https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/indexSeptember 17, 2024, 12:15 am

Story
So, I adopted Manny four years ago in February of 2020. I was told that he was MAYBE three years old but to me, he looked a little younger. I believed he was one or two years old. That would make him between 5 and 7 years old now although he still looks like a puppy sometimes lol. Manny is such a sweet and mild tempered dog. However, he can get a bit anxious at times. Especially, when he hears the loud noise of a trash truck and dumpster OR rain and thunder. He loves attention, cuddles and caresses from humans. I am sad to let him go but I have to because he deserves more than I can give him now. He likes to go for walks but I have not been able to get him outside much. Im hoping he is adopted to a home where a dog of his kind is desired and the owner has the time to care for him and retrain him to their home in a loving way. I will include his crate, remaining food and treats and whatever supplies, clothes and toys I have for him.

Story
Hi my name is Rowdy!  I am a 5 year old shih tzu who weighs 17 lbs  I am not sure why my name is Rowdy because I am not really a rowdy pup except when I am at the groomer.  Thought I better get that out of the way first.  That is my LEAST favorite thing in the world.  For a guy with long hair I really did not need that personality trait but sadly that is me.  I try really hard but unfortunately it is just too scary for me.  I require a 'little' shot in order to be endure this.  On the other hand when I am back to my handsome self, I am a sweet and confident young man.  I love other dogs, am OK with cats and good with people.  No young children though.  I definitely prefer adults.  I was surrendered to Critter Cavalry with my 2 sisters when our family could no longer take care of us.  I was a little scared and withdrawn at first but once I settled in I realized what is was like to be taken proper care of and to be loved for who I am.  I am a good boy.  I love to play and get along well with everyone in my foster home.  I walk OK on a leash and ride great in the car.  I am housebrokn, doggie door and crate trained.  I have been neutered and am current on all my shots, on monthly preventative and microchipped.  I am ready for my forever home.  I hope that will be with you.  To be considered for my forever family and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (I am currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)September 19, 2024, 10:09 pm
