Story

Meet Phoenix, an adorable Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso male mix. At 5 years old, Phoenix is being surrendered, through no fault of his own, and is in need of a loving home. He spends much of his time during the day alone, and would absolutely love a home where he can interact with his family, be active, be cuddled, and live his best life. Phoenix is about 21 pounds of cuteness, searching for a committed, loving family. Phoenix sleeps in a crate with the door open. He is pad trained in the home, but will go outside as well. Also, leash and crate trained. He is up to date on vaccines and he is neutered. Pad training is due to Phoenix being alone up to 13 hours per day. Phoenix has interacted well with other dogs since he came into our care. He does great at our adoption events. Phoenix prefers a fenced yard to going on a walk. He is not a match for apartment living. Phoenix would thrive in a home that’s ready to give lots of love and guidance as he continues to learn to interact with people and other animals, all while providing a family with love. Phoenix would thrive best in a quieter forever home where he can continue to show his wonderful personality and they understand he really does not like to be picked up. Since there is no history of Phoenix with small children, we recommend a home without children. Adopt Phoenix and make your heart and home whole.

Story

Shi-Shi is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix who weighs about 12 pounds. She’s a sweet little dog who gets along well with other dogs and is currently being fully vetted with us. She was originally left with family and sadly never reclaimed, so she’s now looking for a stable, loving home where she can feel secure. Shi-Shi can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but she does warm up with time and patience. She has had puppies in the past and will be spayed so she won’t have to go through that again. Because we are still learning more about her, we think she would do best in a home with older children or adults only. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. You must begin our adoption process by applying to adopt on clawsadopt.org. Please do NOT inquire via Petfinder, social media messengers or in our comments. We will only be looking at applications! 2. Please make sure you fill out our adoption application COMPLETELY. We may not be able to respond to applications that are not completely filled out with the proper information. Side note: on our applications, the more details you provide = the better. 3. We prefer applicants live within 60 miles of Closter, NJ. (Applicants who live farther away may still apply. However, please note we do prioritize local applications as we try our best to serve our local community first.) 4. Please respect our organization, our volunteers and our process. As a reminder, our organization is a nonprofit. We receive no money from the state. We have no paid employees! This is a polite reminder that we are doing our best to make the right decisions for the animals in our care. Thank you.

These dogs are posted to help show the number of dogs currently in our care, which allows us to receive donations and support for their ongoing needs. Sanctuary dogs are typically not adoptable due to factors such as temperament, age, or medical and health conditions, but they are deeply loved and cared for for the rest of their lives. We truly appreciate you taking the time to view and support our rescue.

Story

Brewer is a very easy going 9 years young and only 8 pounds Shih Tzu/ Poodle mix boy that always wears a happy smile and a loving heart that is ready for new friends. His owner had a lot of life changes that soon kept Brewer isolated and staying home alone for days with only an abundance of food and water, but no real human contact. He grew anxious and soon a family relative took him from the home and offered him to Critter Cavalry Rescue to help rehome to someone more attentive. We have groomed him, done a dental and updated all of his medical shots and heartworm test. He is a total dream boat of a boy. He welcomes everyone he meets with a tail wag and the perfect smile and dancing eyes. This boy would be a wonderful companion to an older couple, a single person who just wants a devoted small dog to fill their world with love and steady company. He would love to sleep with you at night and hang out on the sofa being the perfect movie watcher. Whatever movie you want he is game to go right along. He is housebroken and smooth as silk on a leash and he is a lap dog if you want him to be. He is wonderful around other dogs, children who are respectful and he is good with cats too!. Please know that this boy could have another great 9 years left to make his mark on your life. Just drop us an email at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested. Critter Cavalry Rescue will answer quickly and with gratitude for your interest. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.
