Ellie is looking for an experienced dog owner who can provide structure, patience, and clear boundaries. With the right person, her outgoing, affectionate, and lively personality truly shines. Ellie has already made encouraging strides, and in an understanding home, she has so much potential to continue growing into a confident and devoted companion.

Story
Meet Bernard - small dog, big mystery, zero compliance.Bernard is a shih tzu/poodle mix with main character energy and absolutely no interest in your rules.Bernard is playful. Bernard is spunky. Bernard is...somewhere else mentally. We're not entirely sure he even understands English. Or Spanish. Or French. (seriously, we have employees and volunteers fluent in each...Bernard gives us NOTHING.) When you call his name, he DOES hear you - he just chooses to continue doing whatever extremely important thing he was already doing. And honestly? We respect it.This tiny enigma zips around with joyful chaos, inventing his own games, chasing toys like they owe him money, and generally living life on Bernard Time™️. He doesn't listen - he collaborates selectively. Training him may feel less like giving commands and more like negotiating with a very fluffy diplomat. But here's the thing: underneath the aloof, independent, "I'll get back to you" exterior is a ridiculously fun, lively little dog who keeps life interesting. He's playful, he's animated, and he brings just the right amount of delightful nonsense to your day. Bernard isn't for someone who wants blind obedience. Bernard is for someone who appreciates a free spirit. A quirky king. A small dog with big "I do what I want" energy.If you're ready to share your home with a spunky little wildcard who may or may not understand you but is absolutely doing his best - Bernard is waiting. Probably not paying attention. But waiting.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: Cream Weight: 16.375 Age: 2yrs 6mths 1wks

Story
  Mina Paws is a rare and beautiful black Shih Tzu girl who is estimated to be about 10 years old, though you might never guess it by looking at her bright expression and those surprisingly beautiful teeth. This sweet little lady weighs about 17 pounds and has recently begun a new chapter in life after losing the only home she had ever known.   Sadly, when her owner passed away, Mina’s life took a heartbreaking turn. The remaining family members left her outside for a period of time, and this gentle girl went from being someone’s companion to being neglected and forgotten. By the time rescue was able to step in, Mina was in very poor condition. Her coat had thinned drastically from untreated skin issues, her nails had grown so long they were nearly curling into her paw pads, and she was understandably frightened and confused. But even through all of that, Mina’s sweet spirit was still there waiting to shine again.   With proper veterinary care, treatment for her skin, and the kindness of a loving foster home, Mina has been transforming day by day. Her hair has almost completely grown back in, her skin is healing beautifully, and she is beginning to look like the lovely Shih Tzu girl she was born to be. Even more importantly, her heart is healing too.   Mina can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, which is understandable after everything she has been through. But once she feels safe, her affectionate personality blossoms. She loves to cuddle, happily settling into a warm lap where she feels most content. She has even started to rediscover the joy of play as she slowly lets go of the sadness from her past. It’s truly wonderful to watch her greet each new day with a little more confidence and happiness.   Mina Paws also gets along beautifully with other animals. She lives peacefully with both dogs and cats and enjoys their quiet companionship. She would do well in a calm home where she can continue to feel safe, loved, and cherished.   This sweet senior girl is fully vetted and ready for the next chapter of her life. She has been spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, and has even had a complete senior bloodwork panel to ensure she is healthy moving forward.  All Mina wants now is a gentle home where she will never again have to wonder if she is loved.   If you are interested in giving this precious girl the safe and happy future she deserves, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us where you live.   Mina Paws is currently in Nashville, TN, and we also transport every to families in the northeastern region.   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.comMarch 5, 2026, 2:34 pm
