Story

I’ve had her since she was about 6mths. She’s an old lady now (16) and needs more attention than I can give. She is house trained but her age is making it difficult for her to hold it and she needs to go out constantly. She’s still active as she runs around with the cats I have. She’s stays hungry and thirsty for some reason. She’s a great lap dog and loves to be rubbed. I would like a pet lover to get her to handle her with care for the rest of her days!

Story

Meet Hatfield !! This tiny sweetheart and his brother, McCoy (posted separately) were left in the shelter by their owner. They weren't in the best shape and were both very shy and scared. They are both really coming out of their shells and enjoying life now!! ***They will need to go to SEPARATE HOMES*** Hatfield is an approx 1 year old male mix breed. He kinda looks like a pug, a chi and a jack russell mixed together, but we have no idea what all is mixed in. He weighs 9 pounds and is full grown. He will be neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped as part of his adoption. He is thankfully heartworm negative. This poor guy was so scared and shut down at the shelter. He was understandably terrified. When we brought him into a foster home he finally relaxed. He does take just a little time to adjust to new people to make sure that they are safe but after that, he is your best friend. He quickly chose the 12 year old boy in the home as his ride or die bestie. He will disregard everything and everyone to go hang out in his room and just adores him. Hatfield is doing fairly well with his house manners so far. He is great about going in his crate and not being vocal. He is not super familiar with the leash yet. He’s not terrible, but he gets a little unsure sometimes. We think with just a little more practice he’s going to figure it out quickly. He does fine on car rides and does not get sick. He is decent about potty training if you take him out often, he does still have accidents. He does mark his territory indoors and wears a belly band to help with that. His upcoming neuter will hopefully resolve that issue. He does well with other dogs but is very nervous about new dogs at first. He has been around all sizes of dogs since coming into the rescue from tiny to giant. He is initially intimidated but gets past it after a few days. He would do best with a dog that isn't super hyper or in his face. His previous family indicated he lived with cats in their home and was fine with them but we have not had him around any to verify that. Hartfield has done very well around all the kids he’s met so far. He really seems to love kids. He would just need to be with kids that are respectful and don’t treat him like a toy. A kid that can be calm and give him space to feel safe first is required but after that he becomes excellent with children. He has a lower energy level so far, but he is steadily becoming more playful as he gets more settled and comfortable. He’s already starting to open up and play at times and has little frisky moments. He loves to chase a thrown ball and will dance around with you when you get him excited. His energy needs are not at all hard to meet currently. He is mostly relaxed and happy to have a place near you to hang out. Hatfield has shown no issues sharing treats, toys or food with other people. He loves to cuddle in bed and on the couch. He always has lots of kisses to give. Very good about being left out in the house when you are gone; he has not been destructive at all. Overall this little guy is a great companion. He is learning the world is not so scary and starting to really enjoy himself. He would fit in to a lot of different home settings as long as someone is willing to give him some time to feel safe. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message us directly at VillageDogResource@gmail.com with questions or to get an application.

Story

PLEASE READ THE POST Meet Grapefruit !! This sweet girl is trying so hard to embrace her new life!! She’s been through a lot but still wants to love. She is one of the now 23 dogs we have taken in from a horrible hoarding situation. She survived being in a feces covered home during freezing temps with no heat, no water, and no electricity for a very long time. These poor dogs didn’t even know what a ceiling fan or TV were. She’s made a lot of progress so far and is overcoming her fears. Grapefruit is approx. 4 years old. She is a Chihuahua mix best guess. She weighs 12 Pounds and is full grown. She will be spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped as part of her adoption. She is heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. She takes some time to trust you but then she is a clingy Velcro dog. She gets upset when you leave her and thinks she should get to hang out with you 24/7. She is learning to give people space but if you want a dog that is glued to you then she is the one. Grapefruit becomes comfortable with women faster than men. She will bark and run from men for a while and then she accepts them. It’s a slow process of building trust with a dog that’s been neglected like this. Things like noises outside and the TV can scare her still. She has done well with other dogs after she sees they are safe. She is not fostered with cats so we do not know how she will do but we suspect she would do fine. She’s seen indoor bunnies at her foster home and doesn’t seem to have a high prey drive at all. She is not fostered with kids but we think she would do well with calmer older kids. She will need kids and adults in the home to be willing to give her space and time to adjust to them and feel safe. As with any dog she would need any children in the house to be respectful and not treat her like a toy. Grapefruit had clearly never been on a leash before and was terrified of it at first. She has gotten so much better about it. She walks very well without pulling. She still gets scared of things at times that can make her try to run away so a secure harness or collar is needed. She has done very well on car rides and does not get sick. She hates being away from her people and really struggled with crate training at first. With consistency and firm verbal corrections she has really started to accept it now. She will sometimes bark when put in but then will stop within a few mins and go to sleep. She came from a place where they were trapped inside and had no options for going potty anywhere else. It is taking time to correct that learned behavior but she is starting to figure it out. She does best at going potty outside when there are not as many scary sounds. Things like lawnmowers, trucks etc. can startle her and she won’t go potty. Early morning and late evening when it’s quiet she is doing so well at going outside. The more she builds her confidence outside the more we see her potty out there. She is slowly figuring things out but her new owner will just need to be patient and understanding given her history. Grapefruit had to fight for limited food in her last home and due to this she is allowed to eat separately here. Dogs coming from horrific situations like this may have lasting issues sharing food with other dogs. She is fine with people around her food. She may end up able to eat around other dogs but she may not. It is easy enough to feed her in her crate to allow her to feel safe and secure after what she has been through. She takes treats very gently from people and has not shown us she will be aggressive over food but she does eat very fast. She has a low energy level so far. We do expect when she is more comfortable that her energy level will increase. She seems like she will turn out to be a very fun dog once all the fear is gone. Grapefruit has a lot of potential and we expect her to turn in to an excellent companion. If you are willing to help her learn the rest of her training and give her some time to trust you then you will end up with a great addition to your family. ***Do not apply to adopt one of these hoarding case dogs if you’re not serious about giving them time to adjust. It’s absolutely unfair to expect them to adjust in a day or two. We’ve had 3 adopted and returned within 24 hours of adoption for not being immediately settled and perfect in a completely new place. All returned for things we explained upfront about them. It’s completely unreasonable and unrealistic to expect that from dogs that have been through what they have. The last thing they need is to be shuffled around due to adopters not listening or being serious about their needs*** Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (She will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message us directly at VillageDogResource@gmail.com with questions or to get an application.

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.comSeptember 21, 2026, 11:40 pm

Story

Meet the marvelous Miss Catalina! If you look up 'sweet' in the dictionary, you'll likely find her photo. Catalina is truly one of the kindest little ladies you'll ever encounter. She's as delicate as a blooming flower, as sweet as sugar, and the most loving, loyal companion imaginable. Sadly, Catalina could not stay with her original owner due to a dementia diagnosis. With no one else able to help, Miss Peggy and Critter Cavalry stepped in to rescue her. Catalina adores Miss Peggy and follows her everywhere. If Miss Peggy sits down, Catalina is right beside her or curled up in her lap. At bedtime, she’s there too, always close. When it’s time to go outside, Catalina eagerly trails right behind Miss Peggy. She also has foster brothers and sisters whom she gets along with wonderfully and loves to play with. Whether romping in the fenced-in yard or relaxing in the house, they always have a great time together. If you’re searching for a small dog to be your devoted companion—and a friend to another small dog—Catalina is the perfect match. To learn more about adding Catalina to your family, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. Approved application and adoption fee required. Catalina is in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption. September 21, 2026, 11:40 pm
