Story

Meet Kingston an 8 month old ray of sunshine. This guy has it all - looks, athletic, friendly and fun. He is still young and in need of some training and a little polishing with his manners but there is not another dog as eager to please as Kingston. He is smart and he loves treats. That is a great combination when it comes to training. And he's way cute too. So come meet Kingston - you won't be sorry...Adopt from MCASAll of our dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (and treated if positive), microchipped, and current on all vaccinations.We are open 7 days a week 12pm to 5pm for adoptions, no appointment necessary!Adoption Center: 931-375-1402If you would like more information about this dog, please contact our volunteer coordinator, Kim, at kraffauf@gmail.com

Story

My name is Prince Charlie and I am truly a dog with some royal habits in my everyday life.  I was found on a rural back road in Tennessee and I just think that somehow my owners were misguided in dropping me off in the middle of nowhere.  They didn’t explain but I think it was financial problems.  But apparently the vet says that I am an adorable 8-year-old cream-coloredPug/Chihuahua boy with a heart of gold! I really don’t weigh much at all and the scales at the vet said 13 pounds.  What I can say is that I am a strong and “bounce back “ boy that is ready to make your life happier and more loving with me by y our side. But listen up.  I may be 8 years old, but I have a whole lot of energy to spare and so “senior” movements are not what I am all about at all.  I can have the zoomies like the best of the youngsters out there.  Hey…maybe they guessed my age wrong.  Anyway, calling me a senior is maybe just in age but I don’t act like one and I don’t intend to.  I am a boy that you can take out on walks, hikes, or social events outside and I will help you make more friends than you could ever imagine.  I love all the dogs and cats at my foster home.  I just love anything and everyone!  The one thing that I am still learning after a short time in my foster home, is the house-training skills.  But I can say that I am eager to please and so I am a great student trying to pass my house training exam.  I am ready to be your fun machine, your love machine and your friendship matchmaker.  Consider adopting me and you won’t regret it.  Just email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   They will quickly send you an application for adoption.  You don’t want to miss out on me.  ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
