Story
Booboo is a 13yoa Shih Tzu male who is extremely loving and loves to cuddle. He loves to go on walks, sun bathe and take long naps. Recently we’ve had to keep him in diapers due to inappropriate urination which has now escalated to inappropriate pooping as well. We’ve taken him to the vet who has noted no health issues and has advised its behavioral. This all started around the time I became pregnant. He has always been my baby but he seems to not care for the thought of another baby entering our lives. I am due in May and the closer I get to my due date the worse it gets. In all the years I’ve had him he’s never used the bathroom in the house or his cage but at this point he’ll use his diaper at any time and he’s now pooping in his cage. We truly don’t know what else to do anymore. We’re looking for a loving home that would be able to give him the time and attention that he’s desperately seeking.

PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you!  Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion.  Please note these are not pedigree animals and we have no way of attesting if any of them are hypoallergenic and as such cannot adopt to homes with allergies. ##2378739##

Story
Sweet Charlie is a special furbaby who is shy. Charlie loves people. He will carefully approach his human, give them a kiss on the hand, and welcome a pet on his head. But he prefers to be the one to initiate the contact. If approached or picked up when he’s not expecting it, he may hurry away. Charlie is also playful and really enjoys burying toys under a blanket or pillow. He can entertain himself for quite a while with this activity! Another behavior that can be managed by a patient adopter is Charlie’s habit of getting into cabinets or trash cans or onto tables/countertops in search of food. Charlie  LOVES to eat and is super smart when it comes to finding food so keeping food stored out of his reach or blocking access to the kitchen with dog/baby gates helps reduce that behavior.  Charlie is housetrained and used to taking regular outside breaks in a fenced backyard. Having access to a fenced yard is important for Charlie because he can be nervous on walks and easily spooked by sounds like a car engine. For this reason, CHR is requiring that his adopter have a secure fenced yard. If there are other dogs in the home, you’ll be happy to know that Charlie gets along with most dogs but he will bark at any dog who tries to climb into bed next to him when he is resting.     Charlie has made amazing progress while he’s been with his foster mom and is learning to be more relaxed, but we know from experience that it will take more time to address his fearfulness. A patient adopter who doesn’t force Charlie into situations that make him uncomfortable will help Charlie continue to improve and gain more confidence.  application:  https://fs8.formsite.com/Caringhearts/form1/index    March 28, 2025, 7:58 pm
