Story
  This precious little girl is called Tristen, a beauty that is seeking a person that understands her past and wants to change her future.  This beautiful girl is only a year old and 15 pounds of such potential and yet complex emotions.  She was found on the side of a rural road in a crate and no one in sight.  She was ragged and long in need of a groom as a beautiful Shih Tzu lurked underneath all the mats. She was angry and we understand why….or do we?  She lived some sort of neglectful life with indifferent people who eventually and cruelly just threw her away.  She desires love because don’t we all?  She will growl as if to ward you off but deep down she is just wanting you to see beyond her tough exterior growl and to love her.  She isn’t really biting but she can make that scary growl while all the time scooting close to you for a pet and some love.  Confused?  Yes she is trying to figure out if she can trust some of these new humans in her life because the past humans were not nice.   This girl is so young and so easy to truly convince that her short life of no love is all just something in the rearview mirror for her.  We have transported her to a loving foster who understands the confused ones who send mixed signals.  This girl is destined to be a gem and a treasure and to one day lay down the growl and never do it again.  Until then, we are seeking an experienced human who knows that Tristen just wants love while seeming to push you away  and hoping that you don’t run.    She is housetrained…. Bravo Tristen and she can be crated but really not necessary if you are gone.  She is good with other dogs and she is living with cats although she will bark at them just to be sassy.  She is shaved down for obvious reasons and she is seeking a strong and loving family who will be patient as she learns to leave her old self at the door and put on the new self as she enters your home.  If you are interested, so are we!  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   A calm and mature home is best for her….no children under the age of 12 please.   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.comMay 15, 2024, 9:58 am

Meet DeDe, our charming 7-8 year old Shih Tzu lady! She's just joined our family and is currently adjusting to her new environment. While she's still in the decompression phase, DeDe is incredibly sweet and adores affection. This lovely girl hasn't had much training in the past, so the crate and leash are still unfamiliar to her. However, with plenty of positive reinforcement and a little patience from her human, she's making great progress! Despite being a bit fearful of new situations, DeDe is eager to please and has a gentle nature. DeDe tends to have a low energy level, making her the ideal couch potato companion once she feels safe and settled in her new home. Although she may need to shed a few pounds to get back to her best shape, she's motivated and ready to start her wellness journey! Coming from a household with lots of little dogs, DeDe should do well with another balanced canine companion. Alternatively, she'll thrive as an only dog, as long as she receives her daily walks for some light exercise. ‍ She doesn't require a ton of activity, so DeDe would make the perfect companion for a quiet home environment or a retired owner seeking a furry friend. Ready to welcome DeDe into your heart and home? Don't miss out on the chance to make her a part of your family! Apply to adopt DeDe today at greendogsunleashed.org/adopt. #AdoptionSavesLives #ShihTzuLove #ForeverHome At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2040843##

Introducing Happy, our sweet six-year-old Shih Tzu girl! Happy may be shy and reserved, but she's slowly but surely finding her footing in her foster home. Coming from a household with numerous small dogs, Happy is well-suited to be the center of attention as the only pet or to share her home with another well-balanced pup. Though she's only been with us for a short time, Happy is already getting the hang of her new routine and showing her gentle and affectionate nature. While she may be a little nervous about the whole leash-walking process, with a little time and patience, we know she will pick it right up! As a laid-back gal, Happy is expected to maintain a low-energy lifestyle, making her the perfect companion for a quiet and loving home environment. She thrives on love and affection and is eagerly awaiting the chance to bond with her forever family. While she may need a bit of encouragement to embark on daily walks and achieve her ideal weight, Happy is more than willing to put in the effort with the support of her dedicated human. ‍ With patience and understanding, she'll blossom into the confident and happy pup she's meant to be. Ready to open your heart and home to Happy? Don't miss the chance to make her a part of your family!

Story
Meet Dream, our delightful 3-year-old Shih Tzu boy looking for his forever home! Dream may not have had much training in his previous home, but he's making progress with crate and potty training with his fosters., and he's comfortable wearing a belly band while he perfects his potty manners. This sweet pup has done well with the other small dogs in his foster home, and he's been a gentleman around the resident kitty. Dream is also respectful of other animals like chickens and horses, making him a great fit for households with a variety of furry and feathered friends. Dream's laid-back personality makes him a perfect low-energy companion for those seeking a relaxed and easygoing pet. He's more independent and aloof than velcro, but he is still decompressing so will likely become more affection-seeking in time While Dream may be a bit overweight, he's eager to shed those extra pounds with the help of daily walks and a healthy diet. ‍ With a little love and care, this sweet couch potato will be back in tip-top shape in no time! If you're ready to make Dream's dreams come true, don't hesitate to apply to adopt him today at greendogsunleashed.org/adopt. #AdoptDream #ShihTzuLove #CouchPotato At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption.

Story
Introducing Marco, the charming, youthful 8-year-old Shih Tzu looking for his forever home! Marco may be new to our rescue, but he's already winning hearts with his gentle demeanor and affectionate nature. While he may not have received structured training in his previous home, Marco is eager to learn and is progressing with his house and crate training. He is still learning his cues for potting outside, but he is comfortable in a belly band in the interim. He also does not dirty his crate. And despite his lack of training, Marco has been a perfect gentleman in the house and shows no signs of destructive behavior. Marco's easygoing nature extends to his interactions with other pets—he's indifferent to the cat in his foster home and gets along famously with the other small dogs there. He's curious but respectful around fowl and horses, making him a versatile companion for any household. But don't let his mellow demeanor fool you—Marco has a playful side and a goofy streak that's sure to keep you entertained! When he's not charming everyone with his antics, Marco loves nothing more than cuddling up on the couch with his favorite humans. While he may still be a bit shy as he settles into his new environment, Marco's sweet and gentle nature shines through, making him an irresistible addition to any loving family. You can apply to adopt him at greendogsunleashed.org/adopt/ At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption.
