Story
Tobi is a full bred Chihuahua from a kennel in Pennsylvania, born April 28, 2019. Tyson is a full bred Shih Tzu from a different kennel in Pennsylvania, born September 11, 2018. We need to rehome them because we are moving apart and cannot take pets with us. We would like keep them together, because they grew up together but we understand if you can't take both. They are homebodies because we've worked from home for the past few years. Tyson doesn't like to be alone a lot and has grown codependent on Tobi's company. Tobi is not as codependent. Neither of them are extremely socialized because of Covid, but Tyson is approachable and sweet. He gets along with people and children. Tobi is more temperamental, but is fine once he warms up to you. They like to have fun and play together and sleep together. We would like them to have each other since they no longer have us. ❤️&🩹They are up-to-date on their shots and they are home trained.

Story
This debonaire and wickedly handsome boy is called Kloki.  He is said to be a Shih Tzu/Long Haired Chihuahua mix and at 4 years and 18  pounds, this boy is ready for a new home where he can King of  his kingdom and can get all the love and affection.  He has had some upheaval in his life recently and his forever first owner is living with people who have other pets which Kloki is not a fan of.  His loving owner cannot live on his own right now so he is sacrificing this loving dog to go to a home where he will be the only pet and the only creature that is the center of the person’s world.  He is housebroken, crate trained and he is not the happiest boy since the move.  He would sit on your lap all day long if you let him.  Are you wanting the love of a really small dog and a promise from you that you will see him through for all the years to come in his life!?  He is sweetly handsome and desperately needing a new place in life.  If you are interested please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   Tell us where you live when you write us the email. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.May 5, 2024, 3:15 pm

Story
Meet Shaggy! Shaggy was found as a stray and transferred to us after he wasn't claimed because we had a foster to adopt lined up for him. however, that home backed out as he was on his way due to an unexpected medical issue. Now Shaggy is in need of an adopter of a foster home. Shaggy is a cute little guy with the best underbite! He bonds to his human quickly and will be your shadow dog. Shaggy plays well with dogs his size but is nervous with larger dogs. A home with another small dog would be considered. Shaggy despises the crate and being restrained. He should have his own small space without a crate during his 3/3/3 rule decompression period and whenever you leave him home alone until he is fully potty trained. No young children for this little guy. *** If you are interested in finding out more about Shaggy, please fill out an adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BRO-A-80 Shaggy is being fostered in Worcester. The adoption fee is $350. Like Broken Tail Rescue on Facebook!. Follow Broken Tail Rescue on Instagram! Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
