Story
  Mina Paws is a rare and beautiful black Shih Tzu girl who is estimated to be about 7-8 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.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
"Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight…”—if you made a wish for a sweet, loyal companion, Starlight might just be the answer! This gentle girl has been through a lot in her life, but her spirit still shines brightly. During her time in a foster home, Starlight showed just how wonderful she truly is. She’s incredibly snuggly and happiest when she’s close to her people, often staying right by your side. Whether it was relaxing on the couch or quietly watching shows together, Starlight was perfectly content just being part of the moment. She loves having her own comfy bed and sleeps soundly through the night, making her an easy and peaceful house companion. Now she’s at the shelter, hopeful and excited to meet the family who will make her part of their world. If you’ve been wishing on a star for a loving, devoted dog, Starlight is ready to shine in your home.
