Story
Firefly’s world is dark.She cannot see.And yet, she radiates a light that reminds you to hope - a gentle glow you follow back to joy.Firefly is an 11-year-old Chihuahua who moves through life with quiet confidence and grace. According to our veterinarian, she has likely been blind for quite some time. You’d never know it watching her. She learns her way around quickly. She remembers where things are. She listens closely. “Up” means she’s about to be picked up. “Touch” means cuddles - and that word makes her tiny tail whirl like a helicopter.She loves to explore. She loves walking in the grass, sniffing the new sniffs, figuring things out for herself. She loves a good meal and a warm lap at the end of the day. She doesn’t complain. If she gets stuck in a corner, she makes the faintest mumble-grumble, then patiently works her way out. When she does, she pauses for a moment, looking quietly pleased, as if to say, "I’ve got this."Firefly was found walking down the middle of a road. A Good Samaritan brought her to safety. Her microchip told part of the story: her original owner had passed away, and she had been rehomed. How she ended up alone and in such rough shape, blind and toothless, we may never know. What we do know is that she was loved for most of her life. And she knows how to love back.And she knows how to eat. After “touch,” her favorite word is “yummies.” Firefly has a healthy appetite and a deep appreciation for comfort.Firefly adores other friendly pets, both dogs and cats. She thrives with gentle people who let her explore the world at her own pace, then welcome her back with soft hands and warm snuggles.Firefly doesn’t need much.But she gives everything.She glows.If you’re looking to start the New Year with something bright, steady, and quietly extraordinary, Firefly is ready to light your way.Firefly is IN FOSTER.To meet her, please call 757-865-0511 or email contact@animalaidsociety.orgInterested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Story
Hi, I’m Rosalee, a vibrant Chi mix with a unique coat of red, black, white, and even some cool-looking blonde patches. I’m a spry little lady at just a light 17lbs. I’m spayed, up to date on all my vaccinations, and heartworm negative. I’m a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children. I have spina bifida, which means I can’t be potty trained, but that doesn’t stop me from running and jumping joyfully. I’ve also had surgery for a luxating patella and have recovered beautifully, completing all my physical therapy like a champ. I’m looking for a family that will embrace my energetic spirit and my special needs with open arms. If you’re looking for a companion who’s full of life and love, I might just be the perfect addition to your home. Let’s make every day together a beautiful adventure! I am being fostered in Hampton, VA but can be transported to nearby areas for a well-fitting and supportive home. You must be 21 or older to apply. Fill out an application today if you think we might be a match!

Story
Meet Priscilla !! This girl 100% catfished us!! She was this shy and shut down little thing at the shelter. Left there still full of milk from her puppies that were sold or given away right before she was given to the shelter. So how did she catfish us? Well, as soon as she got into her foster home that shy scared dog decided she was safe and became a bundle of high jumping, couch climbing, zooming around the yard energetic wild child. A wide open and fun loving girl!!! Such a difference from the shelter! Priscilla is an approx 1 year-old, female, mix breed. The shelter had her listed as Chihuahua but with those long legs and her personality we think maybe some Italian Greyhound or Whippet mixed in. She’s 15 pounds and full grown. She will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed as part of her adoption. She is thankfully Heartworm negative. She did really good with her nail trim. This playful girl is so sweet and just wants all the love and attention from her people. She can be shy at first but that disappears very quickly and you get a bold, outgoing playmate. She’s a lot of energy but also very sweet and fairly easy to have around. Priscilla is doing really good with all of her training. She is crate training and will sleep in there overnight or during a full work day. She can be a little whiny if she knows your home and wants out. She rides great in the car but can move around a lot so a crate or car seat harness is recommended. She is okay with leash walking but does pull a lot. She has been very good with her potty training. She has been fantastic with all the other dogs she’s met. She’s been around big, small, old and playful dogs. She can be a lot of bouncy movement so other dogs would need to be tolerant of that. We do not know how she would do with cats. Priscilla has been fostered with kids and does great. She’s happy playful and fun. She does need to be given just a day or so to warm up to new people. As long as your kids can do that she will do well. She has no trouble with a hyper playful household environment once she knows everyone is safe. She does jump on everyone including kids but is fairly gentle. She really enjoys being near and on her person. She has no trouble pushing her love on you. She is constantly jumping up on your side trying to get your attention. She is starting to learn not to but definitely has a long way to go to understand not to do it. Priscilla has a medium to high energy level. She is very excitable . She’s a fun dog that would be great for outings and adventures. She will also relax and lay down when nothing is going on. The second you’re up and moving she is to. She loves playing fetch! We have not seen any issues with her sharing toys, treats or food with humans or other animals but she is fed apart from other dogs as we think all dogs deserve to eat in peace. She has the personality to be a super sweet and fun loving dog. If you’re looking for an energetic playmate in a small package then she is the one. A very loyal and loving girl. Needs some refining in the training department but listens well to corrections. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com or for faster response and more pics go to our Facebook Page directly with questions or to get an application.‼️

Story
Our precious little guy, Benji, is just the most darling 4 lbs. Chi/Yorkie mix puppy that you will ever find up for adoption.  There is no human that he doesn't want to be friends with and no dog that intimidates him, no matter the size.  He is living with children aged 4 to 16 and enjoys the fast-pace of his foster home with all the bigger dogs, kids and family sounds and people coming and going.  He is curious and fearless.  Recently this little guy attended a Puppy Yoga class at the YMCA with 40 people in attendance.  He raced around the huge Yoga class just having the best time being a lap buddy for a few minutes with lots of cute woman and young teens, and then running off to make another new friend!!!!!   The room was big, there were lots of people there and other bigger puppies, too who were running around.  He joined right in looking for lots of fun, lap snuggles and trying to make as many new friends in an hour as he could! This boy, Benji,  is crate trained, working on housebreaking and he is going to be your best friend and little buddy ever.  Don't hesitate ....he is ready January 15th!   To sign up and apply please, 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.comJanuary 12, 2026, 9:04 pm

Story
Mr. 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 he is undeniably beautiful on the outside, his heart is still healing from a difficult beginning. Mr. Fluff came from a home that just could not take care of him. After one month in foster care, he has made truly remarkable progress and continues to blossom every day. In his foster home, Princess Fluff has learned that laps are safe, cuddles are wonderful, and gentle voices bring comfort. he seeks affection and enjoys being close to his people once he feels secure. Inside the home he is relaxed, playful in his own quiet way, and his sweet personality is beginning to shine through. he is still building confidence outdoors and leash walks in a fenced yard will prove to be a big confidence booster for him. Mr. Fluff would thrive in a home where his people can continue this positive exposure at his pace. Car rides and neighborhood strolls are goals we know he will enjoy as he gains confidence. Mr. Fluff would do best in a peaceful home with plenty of time and attention devoted to him. he may do well with one other calm, confident dog, but he truly wants to be someone’s special boy. Children in the home should be over the age of 10 and able to respect his gentle nature. he is crate trained and making steady progress with house training. We are being honest in saying that Mr. Fluff still has some shyness to overcome — but he is absolutely worth the patience and love it takes to help him fully bloom. If you believe you could be the safe place he’s been waiting for, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  January 12, 2026, 9:04 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
