Story
Clara Holly and Clara came from a home where they were not well taken care of. They were living outside all the time with several other dogs. Both are heartworm positive and have started the slow kill method of taking Heartguard every month. This method usually takes at least a year to test negative. Both Holly and Clara are sweet dogs. Clara loves to be held, petted and fed. She can be playful. Holly is sweet as well but very timid. She likes to be approached slowly and in on her terms. She is clearly afraid of people. But once you get to pet her or hold her she loves the attention. She loves to play and follow Clara around. She becomes braver when she is next to Clara. Both have had a few accidents but once outside they know what to do. Both of these girls deserve a loving inside home. They deserve to be fed on a regular basis. They deserve fresh water. They deserve toys and chews. They deserve their own soft beds. They deserve as many pets as they will tolerate. They deserve to be dogs who feel safe. If you have love and a soft place to land these two may be your next best friends. If interested in giving Holly and Clara a home together, please complete our application at safeanimalhaven.org.

Story
  Mrs. Fluff is a delicate little one-year-old, Deerhead mix Chihuahua weighing just 8 pounds, and who is searching for a calm, nurturing home where patience and love come first. While she is undeniably beautiful on the outside, her heart is still healing from a difficult beginning. Mrs. Fluff came from a home that just could not take care of her. After one month in foster care, she has made truly remarkable progress and continues to blossom every day. In her foster home, Princess Fluff has learned that laps are safe, cuddles are wonderful, and gentle voices bring comfort. She seeks affection and enjoys being close to her people once she feels secure. Inside the home she is relaxed, playful in her own quiet way, and her sweet personality is beginning to shine through. She is still building confidence outdoors and leash walks in a fenced yard will prove to be a big confidence booster for her. Mrs. Fluff would thrive in a home where her people can continue this positive exposure at her pace. Car rides and neighborhood strolls are goals we know she will enjoy as she gains confidence. Mrs. Fluff would do best in a peaceful home with plenty of time and attention devoted to her. She may do well with one other calm, confident dog, but she truly wants to be someone’s special girl. Children in the home should be over the age of 10 and able to respect her gentle nature. She is crate trained and making steady progress with house training. We are being honest in saying that Mrs. Fluff still has some shyness to overcome — but she is absolutely worth the patience and love it takes to help her fully bloom.       If you believe you could be the safe place she’s been waiting for, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.    January 20, 2026, 9:56 pm

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
  &#226&#156&#168 Mimi – A Tiny Girl Ready for a Big New Beginning   Mimi is a beautiful black-and-tan Chiweenie girl whose sleek little coat shines brightly in the sunlight. At just 4 years old and 6.6 pounds, she is a petite sweetheart who has already been through more change than any little dog should have to endure. Mimi originally came from a home where her owner’s life had begun to spiral out of control. With love and honesty, her owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender Mimi and her younger Chiweenie companion, GiGi, knowing they deserved stability and care she could no longer provide. The girls were turned into a small-town shelter — and thankfully, Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in and pulled them to safety, promising them a brighter future. Right now, Mimi is a quiet, gentle girl, likely still processing the loss of her previous life and her mom. She does need to gain about 3 pounds to reach a healthier and more typical weight, but with proper nutrition, care, and love, she is expected to thrive beautifully. Mimi is leash trained and does wonderfully with other dogs and cats. While she isn’t telling us definitively if she’s fully housebroken at the moment, we strongly suspect that she either is or would happily use a pee pad with gentle guidance. She is crate trained, but in a calm home, a cozy dog bed in a small room may be all she needs when her family is away.   This sweet girl has unlimited potential to become the most cuddly, loving companion in your life. Mimi isn’t asking for much — just what every pretty little girl dog deserves: to be cherished, protected, and spoiled as she begins this new chapter. If Mimi sounds like the missing piece in your heart and home, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.comJanuary 17, 2026, 10:46 am

Story
Jingle is an 8-year-old, 22-pound mixed-breed boy—a perfect “best guess” blend of cuteness and charm. While we’re not quite sure what breeds make up his unique look, we are sure he’s a gentle soul who’s ready for a peaceful new chapter. Jingle hasn’t always known the care and consistency every dog deserves, and as a result, he does have some ongoing medical needs. The good news? With his medications, he’s doing well and feeling much better. What he needs most now isn’t excitement or adventure—it’s stability, kindness, and love. This sweet senior would thrive in a quite, low-stress home, a cozy spot to relax and feel safe, a person who understands senior dogs and is committed to his continued care.  Jingle is looking for someone who will see past his history and focus on who he is today: a loyal, grateful companion who just wants to spend his days being cared for and loved. If you’re searching for a calm, easygoing buddy to share quiet moments with and make your house feel a little warmer, Jingle may be the perfect fit. Sometimes the best gifts really do come in small, senior packages. If you are interested in adopting Jingle, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.   **Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **January 12, 2026, 2:24 pm
