Story
Crazy little Benjamin belonged to an elderly lady who thought that food=love. Unfortunately she passed away and her family dumped him at the high kill shelter. Luckily for Benji, we were called and we litteraly ran to get him out of there. When we picked him up, we were shocked! He weighed 27 pounds. He could barely walk, he had fat rolls everywhere (pics on request) He was also scared out of his mind and hid under a table for 5 days. Poor baby was traumatized. One day he had a loving home, next day he was in a horrible place. So the process began, we got him some healthy food for overwight dogs and little by little, the pounds began to melt away. Once he became healthy and slim, we had his teeth cleaned and vaccined him. He is now ready for his forever home. As you can see in the video, he loves children. He is creat trained, heart worm negative, microchipped and ready for immedieate transport. Oh and by the way, he now weighs 15 pounds!! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND WE TRANSPORT OUR PETS TO YOUR AREA ADOPTION FEE $500

 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     Sweet 3m old Flavia from Puerto Rico    All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.   Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people.

Story
Meet Rocky, a sweet 11-year-old senior pup looking for his new home. Rocky is 15 pounds of affection and will gladly give your hand (or your nose!) kisses when you greet him. He has a very chill personality and spends the majority of his day peacefully napping, but he also enjoys exploring the rescue. When he finds a blanket, he'll burrow tightly and wrap himself up like a little burrito. It's adorable (and impressive)! Rocky is mostly blind and does a pretty good job navigating, but will need some time to familiarize himself with the layout of his future home. He needs daily eye drops and isn't too fussy about us administering them. He's been living with 20 other dogs at our rescue and does great with everyone. Rocky has a large lipoma on his right side and a grade 2 heart murmur. He also has a broken tooth and will need a dental, which VPR will cover at our vet. Rocky is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and recently had full blood work. To apply to adopt Rocky, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
Lottie is a beautiful 9- 11 year old chihuahua mix who weighs just under 13lbs. This sweet girl originally came from Texas where she was found as a stray. Lottie is a moderately active pup who would love a home where she can go for walks or play outside and then cuddle on the couch. She loves the couch! She’s a perfect mix of active and chill and will make a great companion. Lottie has been great with all the dogs she’s met and frequently cuddles with the other pups. We wouldn’t consider Lottie a barker, but she can be vocal when she wants something. Lottie has a grade 4 heart murmur and recently had an echocardiogram. She was diagnosed with chronic valvular disease stage B1, which is very common in older dogs. She would need a repeat echocardiogram in 8 months. Lottie is currently on one daily heart medication (Vetmedin). Lottie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, recently had full blood work and an echo. To apply to adopt Lottie, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
This dapper fellow is Shorty, being fostered in RI since arriving from Houston, TX where he was an owner surrender at a high intake shelter.  A sad scene for him, but Shorty is resilient and not emotionally fragile,  a quintessential big dog in a little body, self important and chock full of personality, and has dealt with his journey well.  A funny character who can fill a room and keep you laughing, he is a great companion. He knows what it is like to live a happy life in a home, loves his dog bed but is also pert and lively.  He has had some old injury, an ACL tear or slight patellar luxation, and tends to scoot around on three legs at faster gaits, but it does not seem to bother him, let alone slow him down.   Shorty is a long bodied Chihuahua mix of some sort, with that nice delicacy Chis can have.  Ultra sweet with his people, he loves his toys, is very playful and cooperative with other dogs, but he thinks cats are evil so does belong in a cat free home.   He was turned in by his owner reporting him to be six years of age....a bit grey through the face for that, but the vet we had do his health certificate didn't argue that age status, so it may just be his markings. Rescue is always a guess, lol, but what we don't have to guess on is that he is a readymade pet, does well in his crate, enjoys walks and is a very happy boy.  Housebroken overall but not immune to occasional accidents, and he can talk a lot so not ideal in a setting where noise might be an issue,  he will fit into a myriad of situations....a full family, single person or retiree.  Southpaws is happy to maintain its adoption fee at $450, but unfortunately we cannot adopt to residents of Massachusetts and New Hampshire due to state restrictions. For an application, or should you have any questions, please contact Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com

Story
  Meet Dakota — a handsome 3-year-old Deer Head Chihuahua with soulful eyes and an 8-pound frame that holds a world of emotion. Just three months ago, his life was turned upside down. His loving mom became seriously ill and had to leave her home in New York to stay with friends in Tennessee. She was told Dakota and his sister, Cheyenne, could come… but months later, that welcome was withdrawn. Heartbroken and with nowhere else to turn, their mom had to let them go.   Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in immediately—because dogs who lose everything deserve a chance to feel safe again.   Dakota is still processing all the sudden changes in his young life. He is gentle and sweet, but understandably nervous, especially after living in a place where he wasn’t truly wanted. At first, he may hesitate when you reach out—but with a little patience, he leans in, softens, and may even offer a tiny kiss to show he’s trying to trust.   He finds comfort with other dogs—especially his sister—and loves to cuddle with them or burrow under a blanket when he feels unsure. Dakota is pee-pad trained, walks well on a leash, and loves following his foster mom from room to room, quietly seeking connection and reassurance.   More than anything, Dakota needs stability, a calm home, and someone who truly understands the tender nature of Chihuahuas. With love, patience, and a kind heart, he will blossom into the devoted, affectionate boy he so badly wants to be.   At Critter Cavalry Rescue, we promise dogs like Dakota that their heartbreak isn’t the end of their story. They will learn to trust again—and we are looking for the person who will help him do just that.   If you can picture yourself being the one to help Dakota heal,contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.This deserving little boy is ready for a gentle, loving forever home   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 7, 2025, 11:57 pm
