Story
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. Their mom is a long-haired Chihuahua and their daddy is a Shih Tzu and they were born on February 2nd last year so they are now a year old. 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 along with her sister, their forever home, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com.

Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Brewer is a very easy going 9 years young and only 8 pounds Shih Tzu/ Poodle mix boy that always wears a happy smile and a loving heart that is ready for new friends. His owner had a lot of life changes that soon kept Brewer isolated and staying home alone for days with only an abundance of food and water, but no real human contact.  He grew anxious and soon a family relative took him from the home and offered him to Critter Cavalry Rescue to help rehome to someone more attentive.  We have groomed him, done a dental and updated all of his medical shots and heartworm test.  He is a total dream boat of a boy.  He welcomes everyone he meets with a tail wag and the perfect smile and dancing eyes.  This boy would be a wonderful companion to an older couple, a single person who just wants a devoted small dog to fill their world with love and steady company.  He would love to sleep with you at night and hang out on the sofa being the perfect movie watcher.  Whatever movie you want he is game to go right along.  He is housebroken and smooth as silk on a leash and he is a lap dog if you want him to be.  He is wonderful around other dogs, children who are respectful and he is good with cats too!.  Please know that this boy could have another great 9 years left to make his mark on your life.  Just drop us an email at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.  Critter Cavalry Rescue will answer quickly and with gratitude for your interest.   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.June 28, 2026, 11:47 am

Meet the cutest little guy around! He is a compact ball of love and we call him our "Walmart Greeter". Carson's person died a couple of years ago and he is needing a new home. Carson is a happy little guy who loves everyone and gets along great with other dogs. Carson is playful, housebroken, snuggly, likes to play with toys and would love a family to call his own again. This little guy is part Shih Tzu part.... Bassett?? A short, stocky little man for sure. Don't let those little legs fool you though, he likes to run and play with the big dogs. Carson is housebroken, so the hard work is done for you! He is an adult with a lot of life left! Let him snuggle up to you and you can heal his little heart. If you'd like to adopt Carson, please fill out our online application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Carson is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once his adoption is finalized.

Story
Hi, I'm Curly, an 11-year-old cream Shih Tzu–Yorkie mix who's aged to perfection! 🐕 I'm spayed, low-shedding, and absolutely ready for my forever home — though I come as a package deal with my bonded buddy Arthur, and we need to stay together. I'm a true sweetheart who loves snuggling on the couch, taking leisurely walks on leash, and soaking up all the attention I can get 💕 I do well with school-aged kids and I'm a gem during grooming and vet visits. My adoption fee is $100, and I promise you'll gain not one but two loving companions who'll be your constant shadows! 🚗✨ 📍 The Center for Animal Health and Welfare PA Kennel License #02941 1165 Island Park Rd, Easton, PA 18042

Story
Hi, I'm Arthur! 🐕 I'm a 9-year-old cream-colored Shih Tzu–Yorkie mix who's ready for my next chapter — and I'm hoping you'll want to share it with my best friend Curly, because we're a bonded pair and need to stay together. I'm a petite ball of energy and affection: playful, goofy, and absolutely devoted (I'm a total velcro dog who loves being your shadow 💕). I walk beautifully on leash, do great with other dogs and school-aged kids, and I'm low-shedding and a sweetheart for grooming and vet visits. At just $100, adopting us both means you're getting double the love, adventure, and snuggles — come meet your new dynamic duo! 🎾✨ 📍 The Center for Animal Health and Welfare PA Kennel License #02941 1165 Island Park Rd, Easton, PA 18042
