Story
Hi, I'm Mikey! I’m a 8-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality, weighing in at just10 pounds of pure love! I just had a summer haircut and I’m looking fresh, cool, and ready to strut my stuff. Whether it’s running around, playing with my foster sibling, or just lounging like a little prince, I’m totally down. I like other dogs and even cats , but I wouldn’t mind being your spoiled one-and-only either. Your lap, your bed, your heart — I’ll happily take them all! I love people — especially the ones who speak in baby talk and know how to give the best belly rubs. I’ve learned to be a brave little guy, and now I’m all about the snuggles and love. Give me a little time, a soft voice, and maybe a treat or two — and I’ll be your shadow. I’m house-trained, neat and tidy, . I’m recently neutered and had a full dental — some teeth had to go, but now I’ve got a dazzling smile ready just for you! I think a calmer home would be perfect for me — somewhere cozy where I can relax, feel safe, and soak up all the love. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal little companion, I might just be your guy! Neutered with all up dated shots Please fill out the application on this link https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog

Story
Layla is a playful, affectionate family dog who loves people and other dogs. She’s very active and does best in a home where someone is around most of the time. She doesn’t do well crated or confined to one area of the house—she wants to be part of the family. Layla barks a lot, mostly just for fun, so she’ll need a home that’s okay with a noisy dog. She’s not house trained yet and will need a patient family willing to work with her on that. She also has severe allergies that will likely need lifelong management. When she came in, her skin was badly infected, but with treatment and a new diet, she’s doing much better. She may need ongoing care, including monthly allergy shots. Layla is a great dog with a lot of love to give. She’ll thrive with a committed family who understands her needs and is ready to make her part of their everyday life. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.

Story
***REQUIRED*** Patches must be adopted to a home that already has a dog. She's happiest with other dogs! Patches is a 2½-year-old Shih Tzu with a sweet soul and a quiet charm. This little lady is friendly, gentle, and has all the makings of a devoted companion. She’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is this close to being fully housebroken. Patches is on the quieter side — she only speaks up when she has something to say, like letting you know it’s cuddle time. She gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t necessarily need a canine buddy to be happy. That said, she would likely thrive in a home with another dog and in a quieter environment overall. She would not do well in an apartment or a busy city setting. What she really wants is someone to love and stick close to. She’s not spayed yet, but that will be taken care of through our vetting process. If you're looking for a sweet, steady, and affectionate best friend, Patches may be the one for you.

Story
Meet Oh Susanna – The Ultimate Vibe Setter Ohhhh Susanna… we just can’t sit still when this fabulous girl is in the room! With a name like a song and a heart full of sunshine, this 3-year-old, 22-pound Shih Tzu mix is pure joy wrapped in fur. Let’s get straight to the point: Susanna is off-the-charts amazing. Her foster family gives her an A+ in everything that counts—affection, intelligence, temperament, and looks. She’s got that classic Shih Tzu charm: slightly royal, totally adorable, and full of personality. But don’t let the princess vibes fool you—she’s grounded, go-with-the-flow, and lives to make you smile. After her beloved elderly owner moved into assisted living, Susanna gracefully packed her bags (okay, maybe just her favorite toys) and is now ready to start her next chapter with a forever family who can keep up with her zest for life. Let’s talk highlights: Fully vetted: spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and healthy as can be House and car ride pro: She’ll call shotgun and expect tunes, thank you very much Hypoallergenic qualities: sneeze-free snuggles for allergy-sensitive homes Great with other dogs: makes friends faster than you can say 'treat!' Chill and cuddly: the perfect balance of play and relaxation Learns fast: she’s smarter than your average fluffball Susanna has that rare mix of calm confidence and playful sparkle. Whether she’s strutting into the local pet store like she owns the place or curling up next to you for a Netflix marathon, she’s always right where you want her to be. She brings that extra to the everyday—and if you let her, she’ll turn your life into a highlight reel of laughter, snuggles, and spontaneous joy. Ready for a little sparkle in your life? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more or apply to adopt. Don’t forget to include your city and state—Susanna’s social calendar is filling up fast! 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.July 8, 2025, 7:45 pm

Story
Betsey is a super sweet and loving Shih Tzu-Bichon mix who is 10 years old and weighs 18 lbs. Unfortunately, she found herself in a shelter, and we are unsure of the circumstances that led her there. Betsey truly is a little treasure; her angelic face radiates her kind nature. She is happy-go-lucky and loves everyone she meets.  Betsey would make a great companion for the right person or family. She is an independent little one who enjoys doing her own thing. Betsey loves her crate and will happily nap there or on any available dog bed. She does need some exercise as she could lose a little weight, although that’s not her favorite activity.  Betsey is housebroken and happily goes outside to do her business. There is a doggie door available, and she is learning how to use it. Although she finds it a bit intimidating to venture outside without knowing what awaits her, she quickly does her business and turns right back around to come inside. Betsey walks well on a leash and enjoys going for walks, but she prefers to spend her time just hanging out. At bedtime, be sure to leave a bed in your room for Betsey. She may eventually want to join you in your bed, but for now, she is content to have her own little space.  Please consider adding Betsey to your family; you won’t regret it. The love you receive from this little lady will far exceed the love you give her. Betsey deserves a loving home where she can spend her remaining years. There’s nothing quite like the affection of a senior dog. Betsey is spayed, up-to-date on all her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. To be considered for adoption and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. An approved application and adoption fee are required. (Betsey is currently located in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)July 10, 2025, 5:13 pm

Story
Captain is a 5- to 7-year-old, super sweet and loving Shih Tzu boy. He may be a little shy at first, but he quickly warms up and doesn’t meet a stranger. This handsome black and white dog was found as a stray and was severely matted, with the fur around his eyes so tangled that it caused him trouble seeing. It was heartbreaking to see his face in that condition.  After receiving grooming and visiting the vet, he was diagnosed with severe dry eye, a common condition in Shih Tzus. Fortunately, dry eye is manageable, and Captain will just need to use eye drops for the rest of his life. We believe he has been dealing with this condition for a long time, but it doesn’t seem to have bothered him. He started on medication immediately and is now on the road to more comfortable eyes!  Captain shows no negative effects from his time as a stray. He is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet—so lovable that you’ll want to pick him up and give him a good squeeze. He enjoys love and attention but is not demanding and doesn’t need to be right by your side; he appreciates being adored. Captain would make a great addition to a loving family or a couple. If you are an empty nester looking for a loving companion, or a single person seeking a special little friend, Captain is the perfect match for you. He loves all adults and is so sweet that he would likely be fine with older children as well.  Captain has been neutered, is current on all his vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. To be considered for his forever family and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. An approved application and adoption fee are required. (Captain is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)July 10, 2025, 5:13 pm
