Story
Brandee came to us from our rescue partner in Alabama after a tough start in life. She was taken to a shelter by someone who claimed they had “found” her on the side of the road — but it’s likely she was their own dog. When she arrived, she was terrified and defensive, snapping at anyone who came near her. Thankfully, our rescue partner saw past her fear and gave her the time, patience, and gentle care she needed to begin trusting again. With some love (and a few snacks for encouragement!), Brandee has made an incredible transformation. She’s learned that people can be kind and that she’s finally safe. These days, she’s showing her sweet, loyal side more and more — she wants to connect, she just needed someone to show her how. Brandee is a Chihuahua mix, around 5 years old and weighing about 7.5 pounds. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and ready for her next chapter. She does well with other dogs and is starting to enjoy the comfort of being part of a family again. Brandee will need time to acclimate to your home and expectations. Her new family needs to understand that she is a lifetime commitment; they must also be committed to daily exercise, continued training, and socialization. If you are interested in adoption, DO NOT CALL; please complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care of past/current pets. Our goal is to have the very best home for all our dogs and cats, and therefore, we reserve the right to approve or deny an application based on what we determine is in the pet's best interest. #lovedogsforever #chimix #mixeddog #rescuedisthebestbreed #dogs #dogsareacommittment

Story
Meet Griff — a gentle, lap-loving little shadow who just wants someone to call his own. When Griff’s elderly owner passed away unexpectedly, his whole world shifted overnight. One moment he was loved and adored; the next, he was facing uncertainty with no one familiar to turn to. Thanks to a compassionate Good Samaritan, Griff never saw the inside of a shelter. Instead, he was brought into a foster home where he’s been slowly unwinding, taking deep breaths, and learning that he’s still safe. Griff is 6 years old, neutered, microchipped, fully vetted, and heartworm negative. He even recently met a cat and didn’t react at all—such a good little gentleman.  At heart, Griff is a loyal shadow dog. He adores routines, finds comfort in his crate, and loves nothing more than curling up in your lap or settling beside you where he can feel your warmth. He’s sensitive, steady, and thrives in a calm, predictable environment where he can truly relax. Griff is hoping for a quiet, peaceful home—one without children and ideally with another gentle, small dog who won’t overwhelm him. His Chihuahua quirks only add to his charm, and once he trusts you, he loves you with his whole heart.  This sweet boy is ready to bond deeply, settle in fully, and finally feel safe again. If you’re looking for a soft, loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Griff just might be your perfect match.   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 9, 2025, 10:15 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

  Meet Bella, a darling 5–6-year-old Chi mix (possibly a Chiweenie) who weighs just 9 pounds but has a heart big enough to fill your whole home. Bella’s greatest joy in life is being with her person. She is a true little lovebug who will happily curl up in your lap, snuggle under the blankets, and follow you from room to room with soft devotion. Though she’s a Velcro dog in the sweetest way, Bella is also wonderfully well-adjusted. She handles alone time like a champ and is quiet, calm, and content while you’re away. She’s pad trained, respectful, and has the sweetest, gentle energy — the perfect mix for someone looking for a loyal companion who isn’t demanding. Bella gets along beautifully with other dogs and coexists peacefully with cats. She’s social, affectionate, and always ready to brighten your day with her soft presence and warm eyes. If you’re an older adult or anyone looking for a constant companion who will fill your life with warmth and unconditional love, Bella may be the perfect match.
