Story
For inquiries email celia@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $400 Location: Silver Spring, MD Noel is new in rescue. She is a retired breeding dog. She is approximately 7 years old and weighs about 12 pounds.She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She is ready for her forever home. Noel has started to integrate into the family routine. Shes spending more time outside of the open crate, and she spent a good part of the day today in a sunny spot on a blanket soaking up the morning rays. She deserves a well earned retirement after all those years as a puppy mill breeder. Shes eating great, and is going potty outside regularly. She sleeps very quietly in the crate at night. Shes still skittish around humans and doesnt yet initiate human contact, however shes been wagging her tail when I walk into the room!! If I place her on my lap, she will cuddle up and sleep. We will continue to work on the wonders of GOOD human contact and I anticipate shell come out of her shell more each day! Things to consider when adopting Noel" retired breeder dog (may be shy for a while) house training is in progress she will need help learning to walk on lead grooming every 4-6 weeks to maintain coat regular bathing (every 1-2 weeks between grooming appointments) will help keep her coat in good condition she will need a slow, patient approach once adopted Please visit our website www.compactcaninerescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and see other adoptable dogs.

Story
Hello, Suga is a 4.6lb purebred Shih Tzu. She was born on October 22, 2024. I got her on December 27th thinking that I was ready for another dog and for my 4 year old Bichon/shih tzu male. I’ve become really busy in the new year with mentoring, church, and my sorority and realized that I do not have the time or patience to train another dog. She’s become better with potty training on the training pads but still has lots of accidents where I find myself cleaning all evening. She does go potty outside. I just took Suga to the vet at Banfield on 1/20 for another round of vaccines. She is due again on 2/16. She is not spayed yet. The vet said around 6months old she can be. She’s very lively and spicy! She loves to eat and most of all she loves to play. She comes with a lot of initial puppy things (crate, bowls and mats, shampoo and brush, harness and leash, food, vaccines and she can be AKC registered) she also is microchipped. I have videos of her playing if you’d like to see!

Story
Meet Ernie – A Senior Shih Tzu Who Will Melt Your Heart! 🐾 Name: Ernie 🐾 Age: Senior (approx. 10+ years) 🐾 Breed: Shih Tzu 🐾 Gender: Male 🐾 Personality: Affectionate, calm, and sweet Ernie may be a senior, but his heart is full of love, and he’s ready to share it with the right family. This sweet Shih Tzu has a gentle, easy-going nature and loves to be around people. Though Ernie is hard of hearing and doesn't see very well, it doesn’t slow him down one bit! In fact, his wonderful personality shines even brighter because of it. He’s a calm and affectionate dog who thrives on companionship and enjoys the simple pleasures in life. What Ernie Needs in His Forever Family: A Quiet, Loving Home: Ernie thrives in a calm environment where he can relax and feel safe. He’s perfect for a family or individual who can provide a peaceful, stable routine. Companionship: Ernie loves people and gets along beautifully with other calm dogs. If you have another dog who enjoys a slower pace and quiet moments, Ernie would be delighted to have a buddy! Lots of Attention: Ernie may not be able to hear much or see clearly, but he sure knows when you're near! He loves spending time with his humans and will follow you around for affection and companionship. He’ll be your best friend through and through. Special Considerations: Hard of Hearing & Limited Vision: Due to his age, Ernie has some hearing and vision loss. He may not respond to vocal cues, but he’s still very aware of his environment and the people around him. He’ll likely rely more on touch and scent to get around. Calm, Low-Energy Lifestyle: Ernie’s ideal day involves plenty of naps, gentle walks, and lots of cuddling. He’s not looking for a high-energy household but rather a quiet and comfortable place where he can enjoy his golden years. Health and Care: As a senior dog, Ernie will need regular veterinary check-ups to ensure he stays comfortable and happy in his later years. He’s looking for a family who can provide gentle care, love, and patience. Ernie may not see or hear like he used to, but he has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal, easy-going companion who will fill your heart with joy, Ernie might be the perfect fit for you! Ready to meet Ernie? Come give this sweet boy the loving home he deserves.
