Story
Meet Butler – A Little Terrier with a Big Personality!Meet Butler – A Little Terrier with a Big Personality! Hi there! My name is Butler, and while my story started with a little mystery, I'm hoping it ends with a forever family. Somehow, I found myself wandering the streets of a small rural town in Tennessee until I landed in the local Sheriff's front yard. Don't worry—I was caught completely unarmed and wasn't committing any crimes... unless being ridiculously cute is against the law! The nice folks here think I'm about a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier mix, and I tip the scales at a perfect 20 pounds. I'm just the right size for road trips, couch cuddles, neighborhood walks, and all of life's adventures. I'm a friendly little guy who gets along well with other dogs, absolutely loves people, and is still letting everyone discover all the wonderful things about me. One thing I've noticed? The ladies seem to swoon when they meet me... the human ladies, that is! But now that I'm neutered, my dating days are behind me, and I'm fully focused on finding the one relationship that really matters—a forever family. My wish list isn't very long. I'd love a comfy dog bed, people who will love me, and a home where I can finally settle in and know I belong. My foster mom says she'd happily keep me if she weren't dedicated to saving more dogs like me. Since she's making room for the next pup in need, I'm hoping my perfect family finds me soon. Could that be you? If you're looking for a happy, handsome companion who's ready to be your best friend, I'd love to meet you. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about me. I can't wait to meet my forever family!August 24, 2026, 7:00 pm

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/genericYou can learn about the adoption process by visiting:  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  Dog's Name:  Katelyn (KAT0726OWSFS) Estimated Breed:  Cairn / Norfolk Terrier mix    Approximate Age:  1 year Approximate Weight:  20 LBS Currently Living at:  Foster  Adoption Fee:  $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Meet Katelyn   a sweet little Terrier mix looking for the right forever home.  This adorable young Terrier mix is housetrained, rides beautifully in the car, and absolutely adores other dogs and at 20 pounds makes a great companion for another dog. In fact, Katelyn would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion that she can play with and become her built-in best friend. For Katelyn, having another dog isn't just a bonus—it's a must.   Katelyn is partially deaf, but she doesn't let that slow her down! She adapts wonderfully and responds well with consistency, patience, and visual cues. Because she can't always hear people approaching, Katelyn will need proper introductions when new people come into the home. Giving her a chance to see and greet visitors calmly helps her feel safe and comfortable. Once she knows someone, she's a sweet, loving companion who enjoys being part of the family.  With a little understanding of her hearing impairment and a thoughtful introduction routine, Katelyn will thrive in a home that appreciates what a special girl she is.  Once Katelyn feels safe with her family, she is a happy, affectionate, and devoted companion.  She's doing wonderfully in her foster home with children and has been welcoming to visitors who come into the house after she's had a chance to settle in and feel comfortable.     Katelyn isn't looking for a perfect family—she's simply looking for her family. If your home includes a friendly, confident dog looking for a new best friend, and you're ready to offer patience, understanding, and a sense of security, Katelyn will reward you with unwavering love and loyalty.     Apply today and give Katelyn the forever home she's been dreaming of! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at  foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/  . Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it.  K-9 Lifesavers receives NO federal funding and survive with your generous support!For more information on K-9 Lifesavers, or to view a complete listing of all our Adoptable Dogs, visit our website at https://k-9lifesavers.org/adopt. Please “like” our  Facebook Page  for the most current events and new dogs. ##2455419##

Story
We adopted Xander 8 1/2 years ago in Nebraska. He has always been fairly skittish since we got him at around 12 weeks old. Xander does not have motion sickness but he does not get comfortable in the car. Unfortunately, we will be moving to Italy and need a good place to re-home. He is very sweet and energetic and hates large objects and gets scared of them. We are looking for a home that is loving and patient.
