Please read ALL of this listing prior to emailing with questions or inquiries. If you are interested in Jessi and feel that you would be a good match for her, you MUST FIRST fill out and submit our application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). After we receive your application and review it, we will contact you. Thank you! Jessi is a beautiful and sweet purebred Shih Tzu who is in need of her forever home. She's a young girl and will be 2-years-old in June... so we are looking for adopters who either work from home or are very young retirees. In her foster home Jessi gets along well with the other dogs, both big and small, and is not a 'barker'. We feel that she will do well in a home with another dog or as on 'only dog'.. Jessi's a little 'Velcro dog' and wants to stay close to her person. She is housetrained and crate trained, but needs to be let out often. A home with a fenced yard and someone at home during the day will be best, or someone who is willing to leash-walk her to go 'potty'. In her foster home she sleeps in a crate, but we are sure that she would love to snuggle next to her new guardian in their 'big bed'. Jessi is a very healthy little girl and has been spayed and microchipped. She is current on her Dist/Parvo and Rabies vaccinations, and she will be fully recuperated from her spay surgery and finished with the rest of her vetting on the 1st of May, when she will be available to go to her forever home. Jessi's adoption fee is $475.00 Jessi is a loving, sweet, and smart little girl who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that you would like to add Jessi to your family, please submit an application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home! Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them.

Whiskey is a 2-year-old, 12lb white and brown Shih Tzu. Whiskey is a sweet calm boy who just wants to cuddle and play! He gets along with all people and animals. Whiskey is crate trained and is currently being house trained and learning very quickly. He's a quiet boy who doesn't bark much and loves to chase and play with the other dogs. He has a little bit of dermatitis, but that is healing well. He is fully vetted. Whiskey is looking for his forever home, where he can play and snuggle! If you are interested in adopting Whiskey, please apply online at www.crisisdogsnc.org. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. To ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/. Please note that questions via email or social media channels may not receive a response without a completed application. As part of our commitment to responsible adoption practices, we require excellent veterinarian references and conduct virtual home visits. Additionally, your prior or current dog must be on year-round heartworm prevention. We provide transportation by both land and air whenever feasible. All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!April 23, 2024, 6:43 pm

Story
🐾🐶 Say hello to Koko, the most adorable Shih Tzu pup you'll ever meet! Koko is not just your ordinary puppy - she's spayed, microchipped, and fully up-to-date on her shots, ensuring she's healthy and ready for all the fun adventures ahead! 🌟 At 8 months old and 12 pounds, she's the perfect size for both indoor cuddles and outdoor playtime! Her bubbly personality makes her a hit with other dogs, making playdates a breeze. But what's truly special about Koko is her ability to find joy in the simplest of things - whether it's chasing a ball or playing with her favorite toy, she's content in her own company. 🎾🐾 And here's the cherry on top: Koko is fully potty trained, making her the perfect addition to any loving home. But perhaps her most irresistible trait is her love for snuggles - after a day of play, she's more than ready to curl up in your arms and shower you with puppy kisses! 🥰🏡

Thank you for your interest in dog who needs a new home.  Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling experiences in your life and especially in the life of your new canine companion. A note to those looking at CPR.  We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone.  Our job is to find those someone's.  Our most successful adopters come to CPR not because they want a dog.  They come to us because they want to give a dog a home.  We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture.  While we like to know what you like in looks, a dog is more than a pretty face.  Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home.  We want to create furever families.  Our descriptions contain all that we know about this dog today.  We'll update as more information is known.  Are you looking to adopt within the next 30 days?  If so please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and complete the application.  You'll find it in the menu on the left hand side.  You'll also find a total listing of all our dogs available.  Just browsing but interested in poodles and poodle mixes?  Please drop a note to applications@carolinapoodlerescue.org with your name, address and phone # and email.  We'll add you to our mailing list. thanks the CPR Adoption team   Date into Rescue: 12/2/2023 Reason for being in rescue: owner release to shelter Foster location: Foster Home in Charlotte, NC Special Needs? Minnie Mouse is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Minnie Mouse arrived in rescue with an inguinal hernia. It has been repaired. She's also had a dental cleaning. She's medically cleared and ready to live her best retired life! Weight: 17 lbs - Minnie Mouse is obese. She should weigh about 12 pounds. Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $329 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Minnie Mouse is a staff favorite. She's easy-going, always happy, and just an overall chill girl. Minnie would be great for retirees looking for a princess to spoil. She doesn't demand a lot of exercise (though she needs daily exercise and a diet). Minnie Mouse will be happy as the only dog, or with other dogs. She can live in an apartment or a home.  What is my personality like? Minnie Mouse was surrendered by her owners to a shelter. We don't have any history on her life pre-rescue. Minnie is a low-key girl seeking a family that can offer her exercise, love, and a forever home. She loves exploring things on her own terms, and enjoys sunbathing and simply lounging around. Minnie's best life involves lots of soft beds, a lap to snuggle into, and cuddles in bed at night. Minnie is a bit chunky and could use a diet and daily walks/exercise. She isn’t too big on lots of outdoor activities, she likes to keep things simple. A calmer home with a laid back lifestyle would be great for her How do I act when I first meet new people? Minnie is a sweetheart that enjoys meeting new faces as long as you give her belly rubs. Other tips and tidbits: Minnie Mouse is estimated at 8 years old. We celebrate her birthday 11/30/2015. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule. Please note - we do not ship dogs.  If you are interested in adopting, please take a look at the distance between the foster home location and your location and make sure you are willing to make that trip.  Most of our dogs are at our farm in Pacolet, South Carolina.   To apply, please visit our webpage at www.carolinapoodlerescue.org and visit the tab on the left that directions you to the online application. Please note that when screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home.   You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, color, age, etc.  Others here may be a better fit for you.  It is very difficult to get to know a living animal from a picture and a short description.  Since we are constantly getting in new dogs, this may be a  dog not in our listings yet.  We want you to be very happy with your new companion and will make suggestions based on what you tell us about you. Thank you for considering CPR. April 23, 2024, 7:28 pm

You know they say GOOD THINGS come in two’s…well this pair of beautiful senior girls are absolutely the definition of that “saying”.  Pulled from a poor home with no running water nor electricity, Hazel and Sassy are at your beck and call.  This perfect little dynamic duo are 10 pounds or less, loving, great on the leash and they are joined for life in a forever bond.  They are the best little girls who are said to be Shih Tzu mixes and Sassy is about 5 years and Hazel is around 9-10 years old.  Sassy is the white and red girl and Hazel is the darker brindle girl with one eye.  They are healthy and completely vetted with bloodwork, all shots done, fecal and giardia test done, microchipped, spayed, heartworm test done and full exam.  They are quiet, house trained and they are the easiest little ladies you will ever meet.  They are NOT runners and they are just looking for a quiet, calm, content home to lay their head for the rest of their life. They are the REAL DYNAMIC DUO DEAL!   Contact us at 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.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm
