Story
Hi my name is Teddy.  I was born in September 2022.  My original owners didn't remember my exact birthday though when they surrendered me.  I will let my new forever family pick the date.  Anyway I am approximately 10 months old and I weigh 11 lbs.  I am a little love bug when it comes to people but would prefer to be the only dog in my forever home.  That way I get all the attention.  I am also your typical little guy who likes to bark at and chase cats.  No cats in my family is best for all of us.  I love people and just want to be where my people are.  Up in the chair or on the sofa next to you is where I prefer to be.  I would also really like to sleep next to you at night.  I will be an excellent companion for just about anyone.  It would be better though if my forever family did not have small children.  They make me a bit nervous.  However teenagers and older will be perfect.  I am housebroken and trained to a doggie door.  I need some help walking on a leash. I am a smart little guy and will get it with a little help.  I have been neutered and am current on all my shots and microchipped.  To be considered for my forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Teddy is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)December 3, 2023, 9:33 pm

Story
  My name is Durango and even though I look pretty serious and tough in my pictures, my foster momma Miss Peggy, says I am just the sweetest Chiweenie boy ever. I was a little intimidated by the photography shoot and so I decided I would give my serious look for everyone.  You see I am just a 6 month old boy that weighs just 6 pounds and probably going to be no bigger than 10 pounds when I am a year old.  I am really a cuddly guy when I get to know you and very loving toward people and Other dogs.  I am crate trained but not a guy who can be crated for 8 hours without an accident.  I am not totally housebroken but my foster mom Miss Peggy said we are Catching on fast.   I have not been in the foster home for long   My former momma moved to Arizona and left me and three other dogs behind with a woman who really Couldn’t afford to feed and vet 4 extra dogs every year.  So she asked a responsible rescue lady to help find us all new homes.  I am learning all sorts of new manners and Also what a leash walk is all about.  I need a quiet house and could be around older children that are very respectful.  I am mixed with Chihuahua and Dachshund and so I will be A little guy with a longer body than most Chihuahuas.    If you want a young, handsome, loving pup to raise and have love you with all that he’s got….then pick me!   Email ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.   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 3, 2023, 9:33 pm

Story
Fearless Forrest is looking for a very special adoptive home who will appreciate him as one of those rare, smart and yet small dogs who will brighten your life!  This boy is tiny.   He is only 4.5 pounds and just 6 months old.  What we now about Fearless Forrest is that he is really shy at first and has come through some tough situations in his young life that makes him fearless and trusting the humans that want to love him.  He is the sweetest little Chiweenie boy that will probably be only 10 pounds when fully grown.  if you want a cuddle bug, then you have found the right dog!!!!! He loves to snuggle, cuddle and is very much a lap dog.  If you are looking for a dog that will help you make friends in life simply because he has the cutest little face?  Then you are at the right place and have the right dog.  Our little Fearless Forrest just needs some patience and time to be socialized to the outside world and to relax when out and about meeting and greeting the world.  .He gets along great with other dogs and he is crate trained but not a pup that you can crate for 8 hours.   He has a tiny little bladder and needs to be taken out every 3-4 hours.  Just get this boy on a schedule and don’t expect him to hold anything for 8-9 hours.  We want an adopter where his people are home most of the time to give him a ton of attention and love that he needs. This tiny boy needs a mature home environment and if there are children, then they need to be 10 years and up, and the adults needs to be on the easy going side of home life.   If you are interested please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   He is in Nashville, Tn and can transport northward. 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 3, 2023, 9:33 pm

Story
  My name is Mr. Lil Buddy and I am a sweet, shy, displaced little Apple head Chihuahua mix who is 2 years old and weighing at 7 pounds.   I am a special boy that just loves to be carried around in my foster mom’s papoose sling that is close to her heart.  When I came to Critter Cavalry Rescue   I just shook like a leaf blowing in the wind on an Autumn day.  I had been handed around to several homes from what they told Critter Cavalry people.   Noone treated me like I was special and I never knew who I was going to meet next.  I want a stable home and I know that CCR will find that for me.     I am fine with cats, dogs, children but I need to live with mature and quieter people so that I don’t get scared.  All I want to do is snuggle with you and feel that Someone loves me.  Not much to ask really.  I am working on being 100% housebroken and I am shy on a leash right now.  That will change I promise.    If you are interested please email at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and they will send you an application.   Just mention where you live:   city and the state please.       I want a home for Thanksgiving!     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 3, 2023, 9:33 pm

Story
This special girl is called Joni and she is a 2-3 year old Chihuahua girl that weighs 11 pounds and looking for a dream home.  This girl who has been a momma with babies before, was found with what we believe to be one of her puppies, a son named Chachi, who is white and a year old now.     This girl was found  abandoned in a very remote rural area that was nothing but countryside farm land.  The owners of the farm told us that they both showed up and had been there looking for food and shelter for over a week.  Our rescue foster mom couldn’t stand to see them left outside in the cold and with no place to be safely sheltered.  They would not come to her and so she humanely trapped them and took them home.  The rest will be history for both of these Chihuahuas.  Momma Joni is a sweet and confident girl who still takes her protective mothering responsibilities seriously.  She is still mothering and overseeing her son Chachi.  She is housebroken pretty well and crate trained and she does get along with the other small dogs in the foster home…and the cat too!  We have promised Momma Joni that she will never be thrown out and abandoned ever again.   She is ready for a new and loving owner to sweep her away on a little magic carpet to live happily ever after.   Is that you holding the key to her heart and forever future!?  Contact us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.December 3, 2023, 9:33 pm

Story
Petie is a sweet Orphaned Pomeranian mix boy that is about 12 years old or a little less and his momma of 11 years just died suddenly on 11/28. Petie weighs about 20 pounds and is mostly long luxurious thick fur that begs to be strokes and brushed.  This boy might be 11-12 years of age but you just cannot tell it.  He was the brightest spark to his face and his eyes dance as they radar lock on to any new surroundings or groups of people that he might be able to make friends with.  Petie is happy and healthy and on his way December 6th for a full dental, bloodwork, Update on shots and fecal and all the things that he will need to be ready for a new step in to home.  Don’t let his age deter you.  He might just be the dog that can outlive you, the human.  He plays well with other dogs, adores women and loves children.  He is good around cats even though he never lived with cats, he is fostered with some now.   He could benefit from a fenced yard but a dog park is fine and a robust and active new parent or couple would be ideal to show him off daily on nice neighborhood strolls.  We know that Petie will transition smoothly and we know that he will miss his momma who watches down from heaven on him now. We are getting Petie updated on shots, heartworm test, a dental and bloodwork to get him ready for a new home for the holidays. We promised the sister to his mom that Petie would be placed in a well checked out and stable home.  Could that be you who wins this prize boy named Petie? He is housebroken too. If interested please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.December 3, 2023, 9:33 pm
