Shih Tzu puppies and dogs in Hendersonville, North Carolina

I have more videos on the rescue website! My name is Pepper. I weigh 7 lbs. (2/16). I am one in a litter of three. We were born around November 15. We are fostered in Mount Airy, North Carolina but easy, affordable transportation is available. Our mom weighed 7 pounds and our dad weighed 10 pounds. They were both family pets with great dispositions. We all have long bodies and short legs. We are not considered hypoallergenic or non-shedding since we are mixed breed puppies. We are well socialized and very loving. We love being held and petted, and we always greet our foster mom at the door with wagging tails and lots of kisses. We love to play with toys and with each other. We do like to chew on fingers and toes so we definitely need some training in this area. We have a medium energy level. We are working on house training. We sleep in a crate every night and we have learned not to potty in our crate. As soon as our crate door is opened every morning we run straight to the door to go outside and potty. We are good with the other dogs and love to play with them. I am the boldest of the three and the first to try anything new. I love to snooze in my foster’s lap! We provide hours of entertainment to our foster mom just watching us play. We are pretty typical puppies - we eat, sleep, play, and then start all over again. We have so much love to give and we are ready to go to our new forever homes! We will not be adopted in to homes with small children because we are so small. We are up-to-date on our puppy shots and we have been dewormed. We have already had a check up by the veterinarian. Our records will accompany us to our new homes. Email is the best method of contact . Adoption applications can be found on our rescue website Carolinacaninerescuenc.com

Effie is a precious senior girl that is ready to find a family to call her own. Effie came to us from a horrible situation where she was one of twelve dogs that were living in a house that was beyond nasty - they had never been outside and were being fed just whatever was in the cabinets or refrigerator - Effie was so matted up when she came to the rescue that we did not even know if she was a male or female and she was not able to see until we shaved her down as her eyes were covered with matts of fur. Effie has really blossomed and is one of the more independent and confident dogs out of the group. She has decided that living the good life as a spoiled dog is pretty darn amazing and she loves to run and play outside. We estimate her age to be 7 years old- sometimes it is hard to tell as the neglect she suffered for years can make them appear normal and there was no way to tell her age from her teeth as they were in horrible shape and she had major dental work done after coming to the rescue. Effie does well with other dogs - she has not been around cats or small kids. She is doing well with her housebreaking but will require patience and consistency when going to a new home with a new schedule. Effie is spayed, has had her dental work done and remaining teeht cleaned. she has had a full workup with bloodwork and a urinalysis, heartworm tested and current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention, dewormed, current on vaccines and microchipped. She weights 25 pounds and is the perfect lap dog that would love to keep your lap warm If you are interested in sweet Effie - please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. We require this to be filled out and reviewed before we will set up any meet and greet - we do require vet references and and a home visit. Effie's adoption fee is $250.00 Effie said she is so ready to find a family and a home to call her own - will that be your home ?

*Buster has hypothyroid- being easily maintained with medication. On prescription food for previous gastrointestinal distress- his bowls are great though and he has no problems eating, drinking, pottying normally* Meet Buster!  Meet beautiful Buster boy! Are you looking for an absolutely adorable and lovable dog!? Look no further than this sweet yet sassy boy! Buster came from a home with “too many dogs” and was taken to an overcrowded shelter. Buster did not receive any handling, training, love or affection prior to rescue. Even though he has a rough past, he remains friendly and affectionate to all humans. In fact, there is nothing more Buster loves than attention from his humans! This cutie pie greets strangers of all ages with a wagging tail and a please pet me and never stop look. He is happiest when near his humans. Buster is the best of all things! He is an amazing leash walker and enjoys long daily walks. He is house trained. He is happy to greet visitors. He loves a good couch cuddle. He is loving but does fine on a dog bed by himself. He is smart and quick to learn new commands. He is fine around other dogs but doesn’t need to be with other dogs. He is so smart. Buster is truly amazing! Due to his neglectful past, he isn’t use to being fully handled. He may growl if his paws or tail is touched. He also does not like being picked up and carried. With positive reinforcement, this can improve over time. Buster has such a naturally friendly attitude. It is clear he rather love than hate. He just needs someone with experience to give him a chance. His love outshines most of all! Just say his name, he comes running over with a wagging tail. He’ll melt your heart faster than you can say “aweee”.   He is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, current with all vaccines (as appropriate for his age) and on flea and heartworm prevention. Buster is currently being fostered in South Carolina. ADOPT BUSTER!! www.LuckyPupRescueSC.com The adoption fee is $300.00 and we require a vet check and home visit. April 26, 2024, 6:36 pm

Addy is 6 years old. She has had one litter and is spayed. She was a good mother. She is very sweet and would do best as an only dog. she likes to be the boss. We are faced with a housing issue and cannot keep her with us. She has a spunky/sweet attitude. She is getting used to car rides. She is used to kids and will tolerate them. She is happiest with a fenced yard. She loves her belly rubbed and her squeeky toys. Please keep her from the shelter.

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: 07/06/23 Reason for being in rescue: Jax was found as a stray but is microchipped.  It's taken some time to get through all the attempts to return him but it's evident now, he is ours.  We found the owners and they arranged a pickup time but did not show up.  They have not responded to calls or texts since that time.  We suspect it is their way of letting us know he did not fit their lives. Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? Jax is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. He is quirky, opinionated and chases his tail all the time.  And we mean that literally.   Weight: 8.5 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $349 Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me?  We're looking for a confirmed shih tzu or yorkie (or both) adult only please lover of the breed.  An owner who will understand these guys are quirky and challenging but are also fun and endearing.  Someone experienced with behavior challenges is what Rocky Jax needs.   We know that Rocky is a little slow to warm up, but once he does, he gives you his heart. We know that he'd really prefer to be the only dog in your home or to have one other larger dog as a buddy and BFF. Rocky has several small dogs of the same size to romp, rock, and roll with all day long and several large dogs that he can stretch his legs and run with. He would love a home with a dog that's just his size or no dog at all. Rocky Jax does not enjoy small children and their sudden movements. A child-free home is the home of his choice.  What is my personality like? Rocky Jax is a bit of an independent daydreamer. We catch him staring off into the heavens and then snapping back to reality. He has his life mapped out and doesn't want human input on how to change it. Rocky does what Rocky wants to do.  True to his breed, Rocky Jax is a quirky, cool dude. He is reportedly a Yorkshire terrier and Shih Tzu mix and what a combination. Found as a stray, we finally connected with the owners, and know some of his life. He was owned by a young mother who lived with extended family in one home. However, other family members did not agree with having Rocky in the home. He spent most of his time in the backyard. He ran away several times and once was picked up by Animal Control. That is when he got neutered and got a microchip.   Rocky has growled and snapped at his foster family but never connected. We think if he was pushed, he would connect and he would bite.  His new owner needs to be committed to rehab for Rocky and to understanding that there are boundaries you can't cross. Respect those boundaries and he's a lot of fun.  Push them and you may get teeth on you.   Rocky is horrible for grooming.  His groomer first puts a cone on him and then his foster mom holds on while the groomer shaves as fast as she can.  When it comes to the face, that he does not allow.  We take Rocky to the vet and let the vet give him a sleepy shot before we can groom his face.   Rocky Jax's quirkiness involves a complicated relationship with his tail. His happy place is having a large backyard to run out and chase that tail for hours on end. He's convinced the tail does not belong on his body and once he sees it, he will spin and bark at it. Sometimes he only barks a few minutes, but we have seen Rocky bark for up to an hour at that tail.  After he's worn out, he will come to seek affection or just follow you everywhere. Rocky loves a comfy chair or couch to snooze in. One thing is certain, Rocky is sure to make you crack a smile on a bad day. How do I act when I first meet new people? Rocky Jax can be slightly shy when meeting new people, but he quickly warms up with a few treats and some TLC. He will let you know if he's interested in affection. Other tips and tidbits: Rocky Jax was found as a stray but we found his family and they filled us in on some of his history.  However, since we have nothing in writing, there are things about Rocky that we've had to guess on.  Based on his overall health and condition we have estimated Jax at about 6 months. We celebrate his birthday 01/05/23. 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 27, 2024, 7:24 pm

Lemon Drop is half of a bonded pair. She and her mother April will only be adopted together. If you don't have room in your heart for 2 dog, this is not your dog. Lemon Drop is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Weight: 8.6 lbs Height: 12 in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $700 for the pair Fence needed? No What kind of home would be best for me? Lemon Drop is half of a bonded pair (with her mother April). First and foremost, we are looking for a home with room in their heart for 2 special dogs. Lemon Drop is more comfortable in rescue than is April. Neither of these lovely little ladies is used to the noise of so many other dogs and they miss sleeping with their human nearby. These girls need a home where their humans will be home most of the day and shower them with love and affection constantly. Lemon Drop and April are looking for a forever family that can once again provide them with that life.  What is my personality like? Lemon Drop is a five-year-old Shih Tzu who recently arrived at CPR with her mother April. Their owner developed a serious medical condition which meant she could no longer care for them. She made the agonizing, yet most loving decision she could make, she gave them up to CPR to find them new forever homes that would treat them in the manner they'd become accustomed to.  Lemon Drop, unlike her mother April, will approach you. However, she shies away when you go to pet her. We believe this is a sign that she wants your love and will soon allow her caregivers to pet her. We expect both Lemon Drop and April to shine once they are in their new forever home. Because we haven't seen their true personalities emerge, we cannot recommend a house with children for them at this time. Lemon Drop and April desperately want to send the best years of their lives in a home that can provide them a relaxed, calm, and caring place. These little ladies will do well in either an apartment or house. How do I act when I first meet new people? As noted above Lemon Drop will approach you and sniff you out. She doesn't allow you to pet her yet. Again, we believe this is due to the adjustment she is making to her new surroundings. We expect both Lemon Drop and her mother April to show their true selves in the coming days and weeks. Other tips and tidbits: Our vet estimates Lemon Drop's birthday to be on or about 2/7/2019.

Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours.
