Story
Summer is a like shih tzu on a budget! Look at her cute squishy face and none of that needing to be groomed for 60 bucks a month hair! She has the total wiggle butt personality of a shih tzu too. She is so sweet. She's abpit one year old and fully vetted now. She had cherry eye surgery abt two weeks ago. 14 lbs grown, kennels like a dream every night. Working on potty skills. Walks on a leash like a dream and... even not on leash does not run off. She recalls so well and loves kids, even small ones because she's very gentle, loves dogs, cats, and is just the happiest little thing ever. Zero aggression with food , toys , even high value treats. Takes cues from other dogs very well and is just a joy. She is like a warm summer breeze! Just all the best stuff. Summer is available for adoption for 200.00 fully vetted, fixed, chipped, all vaccinations and boosters for DHlpp, rabies, bordetella, wormed twice. Heartworm negative and on all prevents. She is available for adoption through God's Dogs Rescue and would make anyone a wonderful little companion. We do have transport out of state which I'm fine with since she's such a well mannered and well adjusted kiddo. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
APPLY HERE https://is.gd/pawsfor&#226&#128&#139seniorsapp (Application opens in a new browser window.) They say Riley is 18, but our observation is that he is younger. Riley is a special little guy who is blind but his other senses are "fine tuned." Once he learns the "lay of the land" he is able to navigate pretty darn good; just a clap of your hands and calling his name, guides him in your direction. Riley is laid back, very quiet, and loves everyone he comes in contact with, (cats, dogs, kids and whoever). He actually is great on leash and will walk slowly by your side. He is potty trained and is a very good eater. He has his special needs and will take that special person to provide a warm and loving home. It won't take long for Riley to "grab your heart-strings"   Paws For Seniors Adoption Process Thank you for your interest in adopting a Paws For Seniors pet.

Story
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
