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 27, 2026, 9:33 pm

Story
  Calm Cocoa is one of those shy and chill type of Chihuahua girls that barks only when she hears a new sound that isn't supposed to be there and whose biggest desire is to lay on the sofa near her person or sit on their lap for the longest of times.  This sweet girl that always has a smile, is golden not only in color but also in character and personality.  She is a 'character' as they say and she just a few things she does in her day.   She loves to go outside on the leash to do her business and then quickly come back inside and head straight to the comfort of 'the sofa. '   Calm Cocoa does not like to use a pee pad so don't count on that as a back up. It is outside or her own inside choice if you aren't attentive to her needs.  She doesn't need a crate and she is the kind of girl that embraces all other dogs and even the 3 cats in her foster home are welcomed friends.  She is a loving girl and will give you kisses all day.  At just 12 years of age and 10 lbs. this girl would be up for a short walk daily and definitely wants to be with someone as much as possible.  She rides beautifully in a car and would welcome her own Princess Throne car seat to ride in.   She would be a great Chihuahua Ambassador to show that the breed can have a warm smile, some great kisses and of course the best devotion and love that you could ever order up in life.  Just think, you could have your very own mix of Kind Cocoa every morning when you wake up!  How about that????? Just email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state.    Health Status is outstanding:  She has had a senior bloodwork panel, dental, oral surgery, tumor removal and benign biopsy report, spayed, all shots and heartworm done and clear fecal.  She is top to bottom healthy as a 'horsefly'.     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 27, 2026, 9:33 pm

Story
  Meet Tubby — a tender little soul learning that life can be kind.   At just 4 years old and a tiny 9 pounds, this handsome light tan Chihuahua boy has already come such a long way. Tubby’s story didn’t begin with soft beds and loving arms—it began in a backyard breeding situation in a small Tennessee town, where he and 16 other Chihuahuas had never even experienced the outside world. On Valentine’s Day, two rescues, including Critter Cavalry, stepped in to change his life forever. And what a beautiful transformation it’s been.   Over the past six weeks in foster care, Tubby has been quietly, bravely discovering what it means to live. Every day, he grows a little more confident, a little more curious, and a little more trusting. His foster mom says it’s been incredibly special to watch him bloom at his own gentle pace.   Tubby has overcome more than just fear—he’s also had extensive dental care to relieve him of painful, damaged teeth, and now he’s feeling so much better and finally able to enjoy life comfortably. He is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped—ready for his fresh start.   This sweet boy has been working hard behind the scenes, too. He’s learned that his crate is a safe, cozy space just for him, and he’s beginning to understand harnesses, leashes, and the big, exciting world outside. While he’s still gaining confidence, his progress has been nothing short of inspiring. You can see how much he wants to be brave.   At home, Tubby’s true personality begins to shine. His absolute favorite place? Right next to you on the couch. Once he feels safe, he melts into the moment—quietly affectionate, deeply loyal, and oh-so-loving. Those peaceful snuggle sessions are where Tubby’s heart really opens up.   Because he forms such strong bonds, Tubby would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time to offer reassurance and companionship. He’s still learning that the world is safe, and he’ll need a patient, kindhearted person who understands that love—and trust—take time. But make no mistake: Tubby is worth it. The person who welcomes him home won’t just be adopting a dog—they’ll be witnessing a beautiful transformation. And in return, Tubby will give a lifetime of quiet devotion, gentle companionship, and unconditional love.    Ready to give Tubby the life he’s always deserved?Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to learn more or apply to adopt.   Tubby is ready to travel and can easily catch a ride on the transport van any weekend—straight into the arms of his forever family.   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 27, 2026, 9:33 pm

Story
  Meet Gilbert – The Brindle Beauty with a Heart of Gold ❤️   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 need much space, and they don’t need much food—but the love, companionship, and joy they give in return is immeasurable. These little dogs live long, meaningful lives, leaving legacies of love that last far beyond their size.   Gilbert’s story is one of resilience and sweetness. He came from a home with too many dogs and not enough care, ending up in a tiny Tennessee shelter, frightened and overwhelmed. But even in that scary situation, Gilbert shined with calm, gentle charm. He never tried to be nippy or distant—he simply wanted to connect, to be loved, and to trust.   This 1-year-old, 12-pound boy is a true stunner, with a unique light tan coat patterned with brindle stripes. But Gilbert’s beauty goes far beyond his coat—he radiates warmth, calm, and an irresistible charm that draws you in the moment you meet him.   Gilbert is a devoted companion. He loves nothing more than sitting on your lap, climbing onto your shoulder, and staying close to his person. He also has a playful side—he enjoys running around, playing, and exploring. He’s great with dogs and cats, always polite and a little submissive with his fellow furry friends.   This special boy is ready to find a forever home where he can love and be loved for years to come. Gilbert is the kind of dog who will fill your life with joy, comfort, and unwavering companionship.   To make Gilbert a part of your life, email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.Please include your city and state in your email. Transport is available from Nashville, TN to northeastern states, as well as local adoptions.       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 27, 2026, 9:33 pm

Story
  “Lightning Strikes Twice…Right Into Your Heart” At just 12 weeks old and a tiny 6 pounds, Flash is already living up to his name—zipping, zooming, and stealing hearts in record time. One minute he’s playfully prancing across the room, the next he’s curled up close, melting into you like he’s always belonged there.       This little Chihuahua boy is full of curiosity and charm. He’s learning all the important puppy things—crate training, a bathroom routine, and even sneaking in some cozy nights sleeping right by your side. Like any baby, he’s still figuring it all out, but his sweet nature makes every step of the journey a joy.   Flash’s story started in a cardboard box outside a hardware store in a small Tennessee town.  A elderly man was handing out puppies lije Halloween candy.  Three were left.  Thanks to a kind rescue couple, 3 puppies went home with them and all 3 are in loving foster homes and looking for the perfect future family. Flash is now safe, adored by his foster family but seeking a forever family who will treasure him.   Flash is expected to stay under 15 pounds and will likely grow into those signature Chihuahua “radar ears” to match his big personality.  He may be small, but his love is anything but.   Flash will be ready to travel from Nashville on April 10th. If you’re ready for a little spark of joy in your life, this tiny bolt of love is waiting for you.  email 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.comApril 27, 2026, 9:33 pm
