Story

We got Sparky at a pet store when he was a puppy, and he is currently 11 years old. He is a good dog, a bit grumpy like all Shih Tzus. Right now, he is very bored at home since I work long hours, and that’s why I want to find him a new home with someone who can dedicate more time to him. He is a bit picky with his food; over the years, he no longer likes kibble, and I have to make him homemade meals.Sparky also loves being with people or his owners, but he likes his personal space, so I don't recommend hugging and kissing him too much since he doesn't really like it. I call him my grumpy old man; he has never bitten anyone because we all know when to give him love and when to give him space, but he is an adorable dog.

Story

Mina Paws is a rare and beautiful black Shih Tzu girl who is estimated to be about 10 years old, though you might never guess it by looking at her bright expression and those surprisingly beautiful teeth. This sweet little lady weighs about 17 pounds and has recently begun a new chapter in life after losing the only home she had ever known. Sadly, when her owner passed away, Mina’s life took a heartbreaking turn. The remaining family members left her outside for a period of time, and this gentle girl went from being someone’s companion to being neglected and forgotten. By the time rescue was able to step in, Mina was in very poor condition. Her coat had thinned drastically from untreated skin issues, her nails had grown so long they were nearly curling into her paw pads, and she was understandably frightened and confused. But even through all of that, Mina’s sweet spirit was still there waiting to shine again. With proper veterinary care, treatment for her skin, and the kindness of a loving foster home, Mina has been transforming day by day. Her hair has almost completely grown back in, her skin is healing beautifully, and she is beginning to look like the lovely Shih Tzu girl she was born to be. Even more importantly, her heart is healing too. Mina can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, which is understandable after everything she has been through. But once she feels safe, her affectionate personality blossoms. She loves to cuddle, happily settling into a warm lap where she feels most content. She has even started to rediscover the joy of play as she slowly lets go of the sadness from her past. It’s truly wonderful to watch her greet each new day with a little more confidence and happiness. Mina Paws also gets along beautifully with other animals. She lives peacefully with both dogs and cats and enjoys their quiet companionship. She would do well in a calm home where she can continue to feel safe, loved, and cherished. This sweet senior girl is fully vetted and ready for the next chapter of her life. She has been spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, and has even had a complete senior bloodwork panel to ensure she is healthy moving forward. All Mina wants now is a gentle home where she will never again have to wonder if she is loved. If you are interested in giving this precious girl the safe and happy future she deserves, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us where you live. Mina Paws is currently in Nashville, TN, and we also transport every to families in the northeastern region. 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.comMarch 5, 2026, 2:34 pm

Story

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Snickers- He is part of a Perfectly Balanced Pair Moochie and Snickers are 3-year-old Shih Tzu siblings who have lived together their whole lives. They do well when separated but since they love to play together so much, we are looking for a forever home to keep both of them together. Surrendered when their previous owner was no longer able to meet their needs, these two are now ready for a fresh start — and a family who will cherish them as much as they cherish each other. Though they’re littermates, their personalities beautifully complement one another. Moochie (who is dark grey and white) is the softer, shyer soul of the pair. Calm and gentle, she is happiest curled up on your lap or quietly resting by your side. She finds comfort in being close to her people. Moochie gets along with other dogs, but she appreciates polite introductions and respectful space. If another dog gets in her face too quickly, she may lift her lip or give a little growl to set boundaries — she simply prefers a slower, more thoughtful approach. With a little time, she settles in nicely. But she definitely prefers people to other dogs (except for her brother snickers who she LOVES to romp around with). Snickers (who is tan), on the other hand, is a social butterfly! Outgoing and playful, he loves to run, romp, and play with other pups — and size doesn’t faze him one bit. From tiny 10-pound friends to 65-pound buddies, Snickers is ready to make friends with them all. He adores toys, enjoys meeting new people, and brings a joyful, energetic spark wherever he goes. Both dogs are currently learning their housebreaking skills and are doing very well. Because they’re still building consistency, their ideal home would have someone home much of the time to help them continue their progress and maintain a routine. With structure and patience, they’re proving to be quick learners. Moochie and Snickers truly thrive together — Snickers helps boost Moochie’s confidence, and Moochie keeps Snickers grounded. They are a wonderful example of how two different personalities can create one perfectly matched pair. If you’re looking for double the companionship, double the love, and two sweet little shadows to share your life with, Moochie & Snickers may be the perfect addition to your family. All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only. February 27, 2026, 8:17 pm
