Story
Name: Paco Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 5 years old (as of 4/12) Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua Mix Weight: About 6 lbs (as of 4/12) Lives With: Dogs, kids and all people! Housebroken? He’s working on his potty training and making great progress! Story: Paco was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina. We are so happy to have him safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Paco is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. He knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with his humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Paco is just looking for someone to be his new best furend and we know that he will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Paco will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! The fee to adopt Paco is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, his neuter, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If you think that Paco might be your perfect match, apply today!April 13, 2026, 11:58 am

Story
  Chihuahuas are some of the most beloved breeds in America today. Their small bodies and tender, loving souls bring the kind of affection that so many people are searching for. They don’t need much space or food, yet they give enormous companionship, loyalty, and joy. These little dogs want to be at the center of their person’s world, creating bonds that last a lifetime and leaving a legacy of love that endures even after they are gone.   Grant’s story is one of resilience and hope. He came from a home with too many dogs and not enough care, ending up in a tiny shelter in Tennessee, frightened and unsure of the world. Despite this uncertain past, Grant has a gentle heart and a sweet, affectionate nature that is shining through more every day.   Grant is a handsome 1-year-old, 15-pound Chihuahua with the most charming white sock “leggings” that make him truly stand out. He’s a tall little boy with a big heart, and though he can be a bit nervous at first, he is making remarkable progress in just two weeks with us. Like a child a little afraid of the dark, Grant simply needs patience, love, and gentle reassurance. Once he feels safe, he will gladly curl up in your lap, soak up attention, and shower you with affection.   He is good with other dogs, though sometimes a little bossy at first—likely a habit from his uncertain past—but he quickly backs down once he feels secure. Grant is mostly housebroken and does well in a home without a crate. He is a climber and clever little adventurer, so confining him isn’t the best idea. He thrives when allowed to move freely, and he won’t tear anything up.   Grant is a small dog with enormous potential to become a loving, devoted companion for the right person. He is ready to blossom in a home that will give him the patience and affection he deserves, one cozy, comforting day at a time.   To make Grant a part of your life, email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Please include your city and state.   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.comApril 12, 2026, 2:47 pm

Story
  Meet Gideon – A Little Dog With a Very Big Heart ❤️   Chihuahuas are one of the most beloved breeds in America, and it’s easy to see why. Their tiny bodies hold enormous personalities and tender, devoted hearts. They don’t require much space, they don’t eat much, but the love and companionship they give in return is truly immeasurable. When a Chihuahua bonds with their person, it becomes a lifelong partnership filled with loyalty, comfort, and affection.   Gideon’s story began in a home that simply had too many dogs and not enough care to go around. Along with many other Chihuahuas, he ended up in a small rural Tennessee shelter, frightened and unsure of what the future held. Thankfully, rescue stepped in, and now Gideon is ready to find the stable, loving home he deserves.   Gideon is a handsome red Apple Head Chihuahua mix, possibly with a little Feist in him, which gives him a slightly sturdier build and a touch of athleticism. He is about 5 years old and weighs around 14 pounds, making him the perfect compact companion.   This sweet boy is looking for a person to love and protect. Gideon forms deep bonds and wants to be someone’s loyal little shadow. His past environment was chaotic, living among more than 15 other Chihuahuas, so what he needs most now is consistency, patience, and a devoted adopter who will give him the stability he’s been missing.   Gideon is surprisingly athletic and clever. He’s not a fan of being confined and has been known to scale baby gates with impressive agility! He much prefers being free to explore his home and yard alongside his person.   Despite his adventurous side, Gideon is also a snuggle expert. He loves kisses, cuddling close, and soaking up affection. He can be a little bossy with other dogs at times — a habit he likely developed while navigating his former crowded home — but his heart is full of love for his people.   He enjoys spending time outdoors, strolling around the yard, and stretching out in a sunny spot to relax. His size and adaptable nature make him a wonderful fit for apartments, condos, or smaller living spaces.   If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will adore you, comfort you, and share life’s quiet moments, Gideon could be the perfect little best friend you’ve been waiting for.   To learn more or to adopt Gideon, please contactCritter Cavalry Rescue at: ccrtennessee@gmail.com   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.comApril 12, 2026, 2:47 pm

Story
Meet Journey Journey is a 6-year-old Chi-weenie with a gentle soul and a story that truly lives up to her name.Her journey to us is a sad one. Her owners became very ill and were hospitalized, no longer able to care for themselves or for her. When Animal Control arrived, it was clear that while she was loved, her living conditions were not what she deserved. We promised her family that we would find Journey the safe, happy, and loving home they wanted for her.Journey is under 20 pounds, low energy, and an easy walker-perfect for a calm and cozy home. She's the kind of dog who just wants to be near you, soaking up love and giving it right back.She's currently in a foster home with another dog. It's a new experience for her, so she's a little unsure, but she's adjusting and doing okay. She seems to like kids, and we don't see any concerns with cats.Right now, Journey is a bit confused with all the changes in her life-but through it all, she remains sweet, cuddly, and full of love. With a little patience and a lot of kindness, we know she'll settle beautifully into her forever home.If you're looking for a loyal companion to share quiet moments and lots of snuggles, Journey might be the one for you.
