Story
Hi my name is Cookee, and I'm the sweetest treat of a pup that you'll ever meet. People say I remind them of cookies and cream when I give them sweet kisses on the nose or bump up and snuggle with them when they're feeling down. I am a Dachshund-Basset mix and medium sized about 30# full grown. Sitting on people's couches or laps is my favorite pastime as I get to snuggle close to the people I love, which is practically everyone! I LOVE OTHER DOGS TOO!! I definitely want a home with other dogs :) As I am a bit on the older side and lived on the streets until I was saved with my babies in my tummy. I have been living at my foster home and am ready for my forever HOME!! I will need a patient and loving family to give me a good life of exercise- LOL, playtime, treats, love, affection, and belonging. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

So there we were, living in a home... when BAM! One day the family up and MOVES WITHOUT US!!! We had NO IDEA what was happening! No Dear John letter, no food and water left for us, nowhere to go and no one to take care of us..... WELP, the MOVERS took us in!! I mean, that was amazing! So we got to the rescue because hardworking moving men cared enough about us to save us and find us a rescue!! Now we are loving life in our foster home, our foster family is SO COOL! Lots of excitement, fun people to meet and all kinds of shade/playtime! We are dachshund mixed pups, all different colors but lowriders for sure :) Our mom is the sweetest and most FUN mom! She seems to be a puppy herself! Adopt one of us and give us the chance to write our next BEST chapter as a beloved member of your family!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
We adopted Penny as a puppy. As shes has aged, shes become more aggressive. Shes bit my shoe a few times out of frustration for being told no. And I fear that she will end up biting our grandchild as he gets older. She never pees but will poop in the house. Her favorite things are to play fetch and snuggle. She is a sweet girl who needs to be with other similar dogs or as the only dog. She does not require much, just play fetch and a blanket for her to sleep under. And of course scratches. She likes to bark and will let you know when there is a noise. She requires a leash when walking but not at home. She will go out for her business, smell around for a while and return when called. Again, she is s a sweet funny girl, I am just not able to trust her with a young child.

Story
This little pretty chocolate dappled girl is called Mazie and goodness what a cracker jack she is.  Don’t for minute let those green eyes and chocolate marbled coat fool you to think she is gentle or easy.  She is the CEO of dogs and will run the show at your house if given the chance.  Mazie is 20 pounds and 9 months old.  She is a breed mix of Dachshund and Basset Hound we are told.  Her pics make her look big but she is a “tiny but mighty” little girl.  Mazie is not a fan of any other female dogs in her life or around her.  We don’t know where that came from but the dislike is there so we say…don’t ignore the warning.  She is great with big male dogs, not good with other small dogs or cats, but loves people deeply and wants to be around them.  She needs a fenced yard because she is a runner as most Dachshunds can be and she needs to be able to run and play and get her energy out daily.  Older children would be better for her and she is crate trained, 90% housebroken and she adores going for walks; a very good girl on a leash we can say.  She is beautiful but a “tad” bit complicated, which is why we have outlined the Likes and Dislikes of this girl to a TEE!  We want the right and perfect home and there are lots out there that can give her that.  Tiny but Mighty little Mazie is ready for a home NOW!  Please email us at Critter Cavalry Rescue : ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live when you email asking for information and an application. 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.April 29, 2024, 9:05 pm

Story
My name is Sweet Pea and I am truly a sweet little pea!   My story began about 5-6 years ago when I came to live with a family who had way too many dogs.  They could not afford to spay and neuter and so a lot of us had puppies over and over.  Now I am with Critter Cavalry Rescue  and they promised me a better family life ahead.  I am a Dachshund/Terrier mix and I weigh 22 lbs and could probably walk a few pounds off this Spring and Summer with an active and fun person that would adopt me.  I was terrified beyond words when I first moved from my overcrowded home to this nice new foster house.  But soon I have realized I am safe and well fed and that these people are very stable and will get me to the vet when I need to go.  I am housebroken, ride just fine in a car and I am going to love to sit on your lap and make you feel loved and cherished by ME!  I do not like to walk on a leash.  I can learn if you are patient to teach me but I think I initially need to go to a home with a fenced yard and then learn how to walk nicely there in the backyard. It is not biggie but right now it kind of isn’t a fav thing to do.  Other than the leash, I am pretty perfect!  I am healthy and I love to give kisses and adoring looks to my fav humans.  If you want to invite me to come live with you please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com   I am ready to pack my bags!

Hi...My Name is Dan and I will be 6 Months old on April 6th 2024, My Birthday is 10/06/2023.I weigh 12-13Lbs. I am Dachshund/JackRussell/Feist. My Previous Owners took Pretty Good Care of Me and made sure I stayed warm. I was born from theirs daughters dog and My Grandma took me and my Sister until they could find a better place for us. Unfortunately my Sister got hit by a car before I was introduced to my Foster Mama.Because I have lived outdoors up until I went to my Foster Mamas house I don't understand the whole Potty training thing and it confuses me a little. I am trying to learn, but it's hard. I just need some patience. I am a Very Loving Boy who just want all your Love and to play. I am a typical 6 Month Old Male Dachshund Puppy and when I get Excited to be picked up or loved on I will Pee a little. My Foster Mama says to me that it's normal because I seem to pay more attention to my parts when it does happen, like I am Embarrassed. While I Absolutely Adore Kids I need to be watched with younger kids because I am Mouthy. Not in a Biting Mean way and I don't put pressure down, but I don't yet understand what my teeth can do. My Foster Mama tried a Play date with another small male puppy and he was just too much in my face and I didn't like it at all so I snapped at him and scared him. I didn't mean to but he invaded my personal space.my Foster Mama then tried introducing me to her Giant Dog Lettie who is like 10 of me in one and she was so sweet and gentle that I was able be comforted.  My Foster Mama thinks I do better with Calmer Female dogs and if Calm then it shouldn't matter the size.I Love Love Love to Play Fetch and will bring the ball back to you. I Love Squeaky Toys. I used to get a lot of table scraps at my previous owners and now my Foster Mama says that I can't have that anymore because its not healthy. I am Protesting Eating my Kibble but when I get HungryI cave. My Foster Mama Waits me out and doesn't give into my requests.She has started training me to walk on a leash,but I am taking a bit to understand how that works.I Do Chase Cats and want to play in a not so nice way and that makes My Foster Mama Mad so I am trying to learn that too, but its hard.I just need someone with the patience to learn with me. Please take a Chance on me...I Promise I am a Lover Boy   Available dogs are met by appointment only and pre-approved adopters ONLY.Our dogs are currently in a foster homes which can answer your questions better than anyone else. We promise our fosters that we will qualify all potential adopters before we ask them to communicate with potential adopters.The application is the first step.

Story
When Irish eyes are smiling, does that mean they are happy? Or maybe they had too many pints at the pub? My eyes are smiling, and I am a non drinker, just want to have full disclosure here! Even though my eyes were smiling in these pictures. I was desperate for help for my little one, Lewis. You see, he was dying...full of internal and external parasites he really had no fight left in him and I knew it as his mother... so I used my Irish eyes to get us saved. AND IT WORKED!! Our lives are do amazing now, Lewis is alive and well after some very intense care, and ADOPTED INTO AN AMAZING HOME!!! I am not ever producing more babies, so it is all good! Now I get my turn for love, comfort and safety and a FOREVER HOME!! I am an adorable girl, about 50# of low-rider basset/heeler-ness. I am great with other dogs and like to play keep away! I am ready when you are, do your stuff so we can ride off into the sunset, in air conditioning, of course!
