Story
Meet Cora! Cora is a 7 year old Shih tzu looking for her forever home!  Cora is super friendly.  She's been attached to her foster since the beginning. We believe she will be the same with her forever home.  She still hasn't fully discovered grass.  She loves to run around on the patio and sidewalk.  The only time she's walked out into the yard is when she follows her foster.  She would do well with other dogs in the family.  She doesn't care for the leash but is working on leash training. She is not yet potty trained. She will need a patient adopter willing to work with her on training. A fenced yard is preferred. If you are interested in Cora, please submit an application. https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application/ ##1858436##

Story
At only 9 pounds, Bitty is an itty bitty senior gal who is 12 years old but still has enough spunk in her to be the life of the party! She is really sweet, calm, comes when called, has a good appetite, is a good sleeper and has an adorable little personality. She acclimated to all the dogs in her foster home immediately and just wants to be with her person/people. Bitty is a precious petite girl whose tail wags constantly! She does have some skin irritations that she is scratching and large bald areas on her butt and back! Bitty enjoys small squeaky toys and really soft treats. She was rescued from the same shelter as Suey, her BFF, in case you are looking to add 2 little dogs to your family! If you'd like to meet Bitty when she arrives in NJ, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for her by name, NAC BITTY!March 27, 2024, 10:32 am

Maxwell Smart is just that…a smart, bright, loving and playful little 11 month old, Shih Tzu/Poodle boy that is looking for a great home that will provide a ton of fun and another youngish playmate sibling.  This boy came from a senior couple who could not afford to help fix his little hip that needed some surgery to make him walk perfectly.  The vet they had suggested euthanizing this boy but they put a plea out there for help!  Maxwell Smart is in great walking and hip health now thanks to his FHO surgery and a wonderful foster nurse who loves him dearly.  This boy is loving and open to new friendship and makes friends everywhere he does.  Are you ready for a little “Maxwell Smartie Pants” to enter your life and live happily ever after?  If so, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com 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.March 26, 2024, 11:20 pm
