Story

Meet very handsome Apollo! 6 year old Apollo is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix looking for his furever home. He is very energetic and will be his best within an active family with older children. He loves cuddling with his cat friends (or just cuddling in general), going for long walks, and curling up on someone's lap on the couch at the end of the day. He would do best in a home without other dogs since he's pretty much alpha.   He is UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, and takes Heartgard monthly.   When you need that special someone to share your day with Apollo/CP is the right guy for you!!!   Please complete our application at: http://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/June 2, 2023, 6:57 am

Story

  Sometimes we never know what we will see when we start up our car and leave the safety of our homes and our beloved pets that wait for us to return.  Sometimes what we see on the road is disturbing and downright WRONG.     This pair of Chihuahuas were discovered by one of our faithful rescue fosters as she traveled a back country road that was mostly farmland and very few  houses on the road.  First she say the little white chihuahua in the road and he ran from her and wouldn’t let her catch him.  She tried for a while.  Then she went to the nearest house and talked to a man who was out in his yard about this white Chihuahua.  He told her who owned the land where the dog was seen running and so a few days later she went back determined to ride up and down the road until she could see the dog again.  Well there were TWO little chihuahuas now; white and black and tan.  She found the owners of the land and asked them about the Chis and was told they were dropped off by some unknown person and that they had been up in their barn trying to eat the cow feed. They were abandoned and soon our rescue foster trapped them and brought them home to change their life forever.  We are getting them vetted and neutered and spayed 1/26. WE NEED FOSTER HELP!   The white boy is very shy and the black and tan is a female and the “protector” of her male friend.  Help us give them a short term place to stay while we look for a permanent and forever loving home!  Can you help for a few weeks?  Please contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  They can be fostered in Nashville, TN or even in the New England area.  We transport weekly and just need someone to show them kindness, love and stability.  They will be ever so grateful!   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

ITSY BITSY

Chihuahua

Female, senior

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Itsy Bitsy is one of those sweet small dogs that has lost her momma and after she passed away the remaining senior husband did not want her.  He was just never connected to her at all.  This adorable 9 pound,  12 year old black and cream colored Chihuahua with a unique stubby tail somehow came to us terrified and untrusting.  She’s had a rough time of it and requires plenty of love, patience and understanding. She’ll need some time to get over being terrified of you and a new environment when she is adopted.  When she is unsure of something she has a tendency to snap on autopilot, but it doesn’t hurt and it’s just a quick reaction. A little busybody, she will follow you around wherever you go.  If only she could talk.  Or maybe she would be dangerous if she could tell us what made her so fearful.  She is currently living with a dog and two cats and they all leave each other alone, and if could find her an only dog home she would love it.  But if not…she tolerates other animals in the home. She wants all the attention focused on her but hasn’t been getting it since being with us at Critter Cavalry Rescue. Once she trusts you, she’ll be your best friend. It will take time to get her to trust you but it will be worth it in the end.  She is housebroken, but will need pee pads for a bit getting used to a new home and routine.  Please email us if you have the heart and soul to give this girl the best last years of her life.  She has been spayed by Critter Cavalry Rescue and also received bloodwork done and a dental as well.   We have fixed up beautifully and put her on a path of good health and now the search begins to find the most unique and caring owner possible.

Story

Meet Happy Habanero, an 8-year-old make chihuahua that weighs 9 pounds and who hoes by Habi for short.  They say big things come in small packages and our Habi is truly big in his own mind and such a character. He runs the house. Habi will usher all the other dogs to their eating spots and make sure they get there. He even has the job of letting the foster kittens sleep with him. Obviously, Habi gets along with other cats, kittens, dogs and children. Once Habi warms up to you, he will not leave you alone. Make note that this little dynamo can be a flight risk.  It is best that he has a fence in the backyard.  When walked outside of his fence, he needs to be on a harness. He delights in being a little escape artist and boy does he run fast. His foster mom will miss him, because he has added spice and fun and he has the honor of being called a 'Great Dog' He is such a great dog.  He does have a fully checked heart murmur that requires no medications per his cardiologist visit and echo cardiogram.  Just keep it monitored.  Chis are notorious for this. Contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.June 1, 2023, 10:46 pm

Story

  Our boy Chachi has no special needs with his health since he is a young one year old 10 pound chihuahua.  But he is special needs in the department of giving him time, patience and unconditional love that will allow him to slowly make his way back to being a normal and less fearful dog.   A place is needed for him to go and rest, be loved and be given the time to find his way to being a more calm, confident dog.  You see he and his momma dog were found in the middle of a nowhere in a small community in rural Tennessee.  They had no food or water for some time before our foster mom saw them and picked them up to carry them home with her.  They had been on the run for a while and no one had tried to catch them.   But our determined friend and foster mom Lecia did all the work and set a humane trap and caught them both and took them to the vet and then home with her to foster.   Chachi is so very handsome and SOOOOO very scared.  Most of all he is very scared of men but tolerates them if they live in the foster home.  We are looking for Chachi to go to a home with another confident small dog.   He is not a biter but a fright and flight if he gets away.  He is almost housebroken and knows how to go outside and then come in and hang.  If you are interested please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  We know there is someone special out there for this handsome, scared soul.     ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

CHIHUAHUAS - FOSTER OR FOREVER HOMES NEEDED!

Female, adult

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

  On March 23rd, we got a call that a home that was about to be condemned, needed their animals removed.   There were 43 Chihuahuas and one elderly sick cat.  Critter Cavalry Rescue moved what we call rescue heaven and earth and 3 dear “overloaded” foster homes opened up to 13 of them on a temporary basis.   Within 6 hours we had taken our share of those neglected and unaltered Chihuahuas.   Some were legally blind, some partially blind and a little deaf, one was pregnant and others were just scared because they have never been out of the inside of their dirty home.  We won’t discuss the conditions they lived in.  Your imagination cannot even go deep enough to truly grasp it.   We need fosters for little ones like these pictured.  Our fosters have bathed and vaccinated and dewormed and defleaed them.  All the hard stuff has been done and we are booking surgery appts. now to get dentals, bloodwork, spay and neuters and fecals done.  Exams are happening and we are also awaiting the birth of some Chihuahua pups and hoping that momma has an easy delivery.  Can you help!?  Each of these chihuahuas are super sweet but scared.  They need to either go with a companion Chihuahua or have other small dogs in the foster home that can offer some canine companionship.   They have all loved going outside in the grass and feeling the coolness of God’s earth on their bellies.  They are not overly barky and really aren’t biting as some Chis can do.  We are looking at ages of 2 to 12 years old most probably.   One little Chocolate girl (Bea), in the back of this crate picture,  is totally blind and only 6 pounds.  She was probably born this way because she seems confident but also dependent on another Chi to be her buddy to hang out with.  She would need a companion for sure.  If you can help foster or even desire an adoption form, please ask.   ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Some are ready now for adoption and most all of them need fosters now.   We will be giving bloodwork, dentals and full spay and neuter surgeries to all that need the various medical help.   We can provide you with food if needed and we will be totally responsible for all medical expenses.     ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
