Story
  Meet Cheyenne — a delicate, dear-head Chihuahua with a heart as tender as her tiny 9-pound frame. At just three years old, she has already experienced more upheaval than any little dog should. She spent her life cherished by her mom, but when her owner became disabled and had to move in with friends, Cheyenne came along… only to be told she could no longer stay. It shattered her mom’s heart and left Cheyenne confused and frightened.   Cheyenne has lived a very sheltered, indoor life, and the changes of the past few months have left her understandably nervous. She needs time, patience, and a gentle hand to learn that her world can be safe again. Once she feels secure, she’ll quietly lean in, allow soft pets, and even offer a tiny kiss to show her trust.   This sweet girl isn’t demanding—she’s simply sensitive. She finds comfort in calm environments and absolutely needs another friendly dog in her new home. Having a canine companion gives her confidence and helps her settle. She loves cuddling with her dog friends, and in her foster home, her favorite cozy spot is tucked under a blanket where she feels warm and hidden.   Cheyenne is never aggressive or mean with other dogs, but energetic puppies are not her cup of tea—they’re a bit too lively for her peaceful spirit. What she truly wants is a patient, loving adopter who understands that trust is earned gently over time.   If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal little Chihuahua who will adore you once she knows she’s finally safe, Cheyenne may be your perfect match. With a secure, loving home, she will blossom into the devoted companion she’s meant to be.   Cheyenne is healthy, ready to go, and so deserving of her happily-ever-after.Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet this precious girl.   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 14, 2025, 11:46 pm

Story
  Are you looking for a small dog that is small, fun, bold, and full of personality? If you’re searching for a dog who can fill your home with laughter, life, and non-stop joy, let us introduce you to Hercules. This 11 month old 18 pound Apple Head chihuahua is small in size but legendary in spirit. He arrives in every room like a burst of sunshine–ears perked, tail wagging, and a grin that makes it impossible not to smile back. Hercules has the kind of personality that changes the energy of a home. He’s curious, social, and always ready for adventure. Whether he’s sniffing new friends, checking out what’s happening around the corner, or trotting proudly beside dogs 10 times his size, he’s confident and fearless without ever being rude. He truly believes the world is full of potential best friends. With all that zest for life, Hercules needs a home that matches his pace — someone who’s active, engaged, and excited to enjoy a dog with real spark. He is not a couch-only retirement-style companion; he’s the type of dog who would happily train with you, hike with you, or keep you laughing all day with his big personality and expressive little face. And when the day winds down, he’s perfectly happy to snuggle in and recharge for tomorrow’s fun.    If you’re ready for a joyful, energetic, loyal little sidekick who will adore you with his whole heart, Hercules can’t wait to meet you.

Story
This special little one year old chihuahua is called Magic Maude.  And especially sensitive little girl, that somehow got just a little too round and is on a dedicated exercise in nutrition program to drop some weight.  Currently, she is eighteen pounds and we field that she would be best to be in the ten to twelve pound range as a goal.  She originally was in a chaotic home that animal control had to step in and take away 112 chihuahuas that we're living in the home.  An unfathomable amount of dogs that were not altered, but yet healthy.  When mod came to our rescue and was put in a foster home. She lay there in her crate for days very depressed and emotionally unresponsive.  She barely moved from the one spot she lay in.   Eventually, after almost two weeks, she perked up with the company of few other chihuahuas coming to join her in her large crate.  Soon she was going on walks with the foster. Mom and seemed to enjoy the freedom of being outside, taking in all the new sights and sounds of the neighborhood.  We know she had never been leash walked due to the overcrowding at her original home.  This girl is spayed and healthy and ready to start all over again. She wants love and we promised her a great family who will love her and take her for walks and treat her like the Magic Maude that she is.  She is currently in Nashville, Tennessee, and can be transported to the northeast region as well. Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue  at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  if you want to adopt or know more.  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.November 7, 2025, 6:32 pm

Story
Posted December 2025 ​ Paul is a 2 yr old terrier mix weighing in at 23 lbs. He appears to be a terrier/Chihuahua/spaniel mix, but whatever his blend may be, he is cute and gentle, although still finding his confidence in the world. He and his siblings were cruelly abandoned by their owners...they moved and left them to fend for themselves (outdoors) with absolutely no regard for their well-being. We wish that was unusual in some of the southern areas where we rescue from ; 0 ( Paul is a little anxious around new dogs at first, but once he warms up, he is a great playmate. He loves playing with his sibling Mary and fellow foster friends...think "zoomies" and shenanigans! He does share a foster home with cats, and he will bark at his kitty friends if they startle him or give chase. He won’t hurt them at all but they don’t always love his idea of fun. Paul can be shy with new people at first but he can be won over with treats, gentle affection and sharing a walk or a romp outside. Once he trusts you he becomes a snuggle buddy! You'll know when Paul trusts you and bonds with you when he begins "smiling" ever so slightly. He greets his canine buddies in the same way and he'll bestow kisses upon you! Paul can be a couch potato while enjoying cuddles and attention, but also is happy to oblige with a busy active game. He would be a wonderful companion for a single person, couple or retirees. We think he’d be too lonely without another playful dog in his home so he is looking for a fun sibling in his new home This sweet pup could also join a family with with calm-natured, mature children, so our recommendation would be a family who has taught their kiddos to respect animals and be gentle with newcomers. Rambunctious youngsters would overwhelm Paul. He is such a sweet-natured guy in spite of being failed by humans. He still wants to forge bonds and be part of a family.He is so worth the gentle and gradual introduction period that he needs because you will be rewareded with a loving companion ; 0 ) ​ If you have interest in meeting Paul or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. Please note: we do not have a physical facility where our dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network throughout New England. It is our expectation that, once approved, a potential family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.

Story
Freddy is a very sweet, lovable 9 year old Chihuahua that was surrendered to us due to his owner going into a nursing home. He is very active and fully housebroken. Freddy loves other small dogs at his foster home and does well with the cat. He is curious, and follows her around. Freddy loves being held and loves sleeping under the covers with his foster mom and all 6 other dogs. Freddy lived with a senior woman, so we do not know about how he is with men. He seems very well socialized. He does seem blind in one eye due to a cataract, but that doesn't stop him. He was checked by our vet who has no concerns about the eye. He is very quiet and does not bark. He will take off if he is off leash, so he needs to be leashed or on a run. He would love to be with a retired couple, or senior lady and he may benefit living with another small dog. We are not sure about big dogs. He has no separation issues or destructive behavior. He is fine with strangers coming into his home. Adoption fee is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com
