Story
  Herman is our  “Small Dog with Big Loyalty”    Hi, I’m Herman — a 5-year-old chocolate and tan Chihuahua weighing in at a perfect 10 pounds. I’m a gentle, well-behaved little guy who’s ready to find a loving, dependable home just in time for the holidays. My life took an unexpected turn when my former owner and his partner split up, and suddenly there was no place for me anymore. Through no fault of my own, I found myself without a home — but not without hope. A kind coworker made sure I stayed safe and out of the shelter, and soon after, Critter Cavalry Rescue welcomed me in and promised to help me find the forever family I deserve. I’m an easy companion to love. I’m housebroken, calm, snuggly, and respectful of my space and yours. I don’t chew things up, and I truly just want to be near my person — whether that’s curled up on the couch or keeping you company during quiet moments. I’m healthy, recently neutered, and ready to start my next chapter with someone who understands that loyalty like mine is for life. I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I promise to love you fully and faithfully. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady companion to welcome into your home and heart for 2026 and beyond, I could be your perfect match. Please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting me.   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.comDecember 24, 2025, 12:11 pm

With her sweet nature and eager-to-please attitude, she’s sure to blossom with a little guidance and lots of love.

Story
Meet me at 348 Old Colony Rd. Eastford, CT Meet the Ice Pups! These little cuties are a blast.. feisty, fun, and full of playful energy. Their mix is anyone’s guess (Chihuahua/Dachshund/Boston Terrier maybe!), but one thing’s for sure: they’re adorable. They came in with some skin issues, but are already looking much better! They are medically up to date and microchipped. Due to MA Dept of Agriculture restrictions, we can not adopt to MA residents.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Dubbie was adopted in 2021 from a retired lady going back to her country. I decided to help her but since my son moved out 2 months ago it’s been difficult to match my schedule, I'm out of the house for over 16 to 17 hours every day. I don't have time for the pets. He needs someone able to give him lots of attention. Dubbie is a lapdog, lovable but also needy.
