Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home! Email my foster caregiver to meet me: lauren.pina1998@gmail.comCan you hear me now? Yes, says Gertie and she`s listening for your footsteps to visit her soon and take her home. Gertie is a super adorable miss with ears that go to the moon! She can be a bit bashful at first meetings but in no time she will go tummy up for some sweet belly rubs. She will then want to sit in your lap for love and affection. Gertie is a marvelous little miss ready for a wonderful life with you!

Story
Personality: smart, shy, playful, calm, gentle, timid/fearful, and quiet. Lil Mama is a lil sweetheart! She’s gentle but playful and adores playing with her stuffy toys, eating from snuffle and lick mats, and relaxing in her crate. Lil Mama rarely barks either inside or outside and has taken quickly to crate training. House training is still a work in progress, but she mostly knows when to go outside and is a fast learner. Since moving into her foster home, Lil Mama has been slowly warming up to her caretakers and learning that humans can be loving friends. She would do best in a loving and patient home where she can acclimate at her own pace, with an adopter who will take the time to help her grow her confidence. Does that sound like it could be your home? Apply today to meet Lil Mama! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.

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 She was told Dakota and his sister, Cheyenne, could come… but months later, that welcome was withdrawn.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
