Story

Meet our charming Shih Tzu mix boy named Sir Ziggy — a young Shih Tzu (mostly Shih Tzu) with a wonderfully playful spirit and a personality that is hard not to fall in love with. At about 12–15 months old and 13 pounds, Ziggy is the perfect combination of small size and big personality. He is full of energy and absolutely loves interacting with his person. Playing, wrestling, being scooped up and flipped upside down, or simply getting some one-on-one attention — Ziggy is happiest when he is included. He has a wonderfully silly side, and when the zoomies begin, watching him race and bounce around is pure entertainment. Ziggy genuinely enjoys other dogs and is eager to make friends. Sometimes his enthusiasm gets the better of him, and he needs a little help understanding that not every dog is quite as excited about playtime as he is. He responds well to guidance and will benefit from someone who can give him appropriate boundaries while still appreciating his exuberant personality. One of the sweetest things about Ziggy is his outlook on life. My goodness is this boy a happy, resilient little guy who doesn't seem to hold a grudge or get discouraged when another dog isn't interested in playing. He simply moves on and finds something else to enjoy. There is a genuine sweetness underneath all that puppy energy. (We could all take a cue on this attitude) :-) Ziggy is in good health and is up to date on wellness care, testing, preventatives, and vaccines. He is looking for a home that will appreciate his enthusiasm for life while helping him continue to learn and mature. A youngish adopter that is 55 and younger might be just what this boy needs. We want him to have consistent boundaries, patience, play, and plenty of affection will go a long way with this boy. Ziggy isn't looking for a perfect life — just a person who will enjoy his goofy antics, appreciate his affectionate nature, and give him the guidance he needs to grow into the wonderful little companion we know he can be. If you're looking for a fun-loving little dog who will keep you smiling and happily be your partner in play, Ziggy might just be your guy. â¤ï¸ Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested!!! 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.comAugust 30, 2026, 7:34 pm

Story

Meet Presley! At just three years old, Presley was found homeless, wandering the streets of a rural Tennessee neighborhood northwest of Nashville. His fur was so severely matted and tangled that the animal control officer struggled to safely capture him. (Video footage and photo number 4 show the heartbreaking condition he was in.) Presley was in so much discomfort he could barely move. His mats were so extensive the officer couldn’t even determine his gender. After sedation, Presley was gently shaved, and Mr. Randy painstakingly removed every tangle. When he woke up, Presley was like a new dog! He ran joyfully up and down the hall, then rushed to find Mr. Randy, who had saved him, expressing his gratitude with happy tail wags and affectionate rubs. The once-scared, nameless pup was now a handsome, happy Presley. Presley is a 3-year-old, 19-pound Shih Tzu with a loving heart. He adores being close to his foster mom and follows her everywhere. Presley gets along well with his canine foster siblings—their favorite pastime is playing and running together in the fenced yard. He’s also perfectly content entertaining himself with a game of toss-the-toy. Presley is a wonderful companion, but he can’t resist chasing cats, so his forever home should be feline-free. Presley will make a delightful addition to your home. He’s a quick learner—he’s mastered the doggie door and is fully housebroken. While Presley will use a crate if needed, he much prefers being out with his family. Presley would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks and adventures. To learn more about welcoming Presley into your home, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. An approved application and adoption fee are required. Presley is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north after adoption.August 30, 2026, 7:34 pm

Bubbles and her sister Buttercup were surrendered to a kill shelter because their owners just had too many and couldn’t find homes on their own.

Bubbles has been spayed, is up-to-date on vaccines and heartworm negative. She’s also microchipped. She weighs about 10 pounds and is full grown now. Bubbles is great at the Vet and The Groomer and loves riding in the car. She needs a little practice on the leash and she’s making great progress on house training. Bubbles is a very friendly and a super snuggler! She and Buttercup are very bonded and we would very much like to get them a home together. They are so funny together! They play and run zoomies around the house. They would do well with older children and we have not had them around cats but we feel like she would be fine with proper introduction. If you would like to give this super affectionate love bug her forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com. we have been trying to get them adopted together for a long time so we will consider splitting them up to the right homes If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.
