Story
Meet Susye — A Young Girl Ready for a Home of Her Own Sometimes the best dogs have the hardest beginnings. Susye’s second chance began when a Nashville Fire Department EMT realized that the homeless woman caring for her would not be leaving the hospital. He could not bear the thought of this young dog being left with nowhere to go, so he brought Susye home and made sure she was safe. For the past three months, Susye has been living with her firefighter foster dad and his four dogs. She has been a happy, peaceful addition to the family and has settled into home life beautifully. She is crate trained when needed, loves using the dog door, and enjoys spending time in the fenced backyard. Now fully vetted and spayed, Susye is turning 8 months old this month and is ready for a forever home with the stability she deserves. She weighs 43 pounds. We believe Susye may be a Feist, Rat Terrier, or Jack Russell Terrier mix, possibly with some herding breed influence. She is bright, active, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. Like many young herding and terrier mixes, she will do best with regular exercise, engagement, and continued training. Although Susye adores her foster dog siblings, they are all older. Her foster dad cannot help but think she would especially love a home with a younger, playful dog companion who can match her energy and enjoy growing up alongside her. Her firefighter foster dad also works 12-hour shifts, and caring for five dogs has become more than he can reasonably maintain long-term. Susye is loved and safe, but this was always meant to be her stepping stone—not her final destination. She would thrive with a family that can give her companionship, consistency, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to use her smart young mind. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, and another playful dog would be a big bonus. Susye has already experienced more uncertainty than any puppy should. Now she is ready for the part of her story where she belongs somewhere for good. ccrtennessee@gmail.com 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.September 30, 2026, 9:06 pm

Story
Meet one of the Dolly Parton Litter puppies! Mama and puppies came to JoJo's the day after the world lost Dolly Parton, so we named this litter in her memory. Sweet mama Dolly's neglectful owner did not get her spayed and she had a litter of 7 puppies. She and the puppies were in a terrible situation – tied up and many times not even within reach of food and water. Dolly, though, was an absolutely incredible mom to these puppies. When they came to us at 8 weeks old, they had never had puppy food yet – they were still nursing and sweet Dolly was letting them and still taking care of them weeks after she should have been able to start weaning. The puppies immediately gobbled up puppy food – they were more than ready to start eating – and Dolly was very happy to give up her mama role. Dolly is a sweet girl and is coming out of her shell now that she doesn't have to be guarding and protecting her puppies. The puppies are all adorable, well-nourished now, and got a clean bill of health from our vet when they got their first round of puppy shots. Considering the circumstances they came from, this is pretty amazing. Although we don't know what mama is, she is about 40 lbs and 4 years old. She has pointy ears and we're thinking maybe a Feist or small Shepherd mix based on size and appearance, but that is just a guess. We believe that Dad dog must have been a Labrador Retriever because that is what every single puppy looks like. At 8 weeks they all weigh right around 8 lbs, so are on target to be about 60 lb adult dogs. If you think you might want to give this sweet pup a home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one. Adoption fee is $250, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatment, and microchip with lifetime registration. Please visit our Facebook page JoJo's DogHouse (non-profit) to learn more about us and see many of the dogs we have rescued. We hope you'll join JoJo's family of adopters!

Story
There's something about Harry This adorable little guy was found in a ditch by a good Samaritan who took him in until they could find a rescue to help him. Can you even imagine how something like that might happen? But he's all good now He was estimated to be about 4 months old at the time they found him and he's been with us three weeks until we could get him a vet visit and vaccinations. Our vet estimated he is about six months old. He weighed 18 lbs at his exam, so he is likely to stay under 25 lbs when full grown -- although if he grows into those ears, he will be 80 lbs! He has great big ears, but only half a tail! Harry is just the sweetest boy to everyone he meets, and he loves playing with all kinds of other dogs in doggy daycare. If you'd like to give a small-ish love bug a forever home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one.

Story
  Pacino Pepe is a 9 year old White Chihuahua with the biggest and sweetest eyes you have ever seen.  This tiny 5 pound boy has been a loyal partner for years to an older woman with MS and cancer and now she has passed and he is an orphan looking for a new senior home to bright some joy and love to. He lived with his former Mom and was deeply bonded with her as she was fairly isolated and never left the house. This boy is housebroken and pee pad trained but will go outside as well. He will make a fuss if you leave the room and he is not with you. A homebody person that just loves the home environment and  puttering outside in the yard could be the ideal new adopter for Pacino Pepe. He does get along with other dogs but he truly wants to claim his female person immediately and follow her everywhere. The foster family went to church with his mom and reassured her they would fine him a home. He is a very affectionate dog  that is crate trained and housebroken.  He is also comfortable with frequent visitors of various ages as well. If you are interested in Pacino Pepe please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  He has a long and healthy life ahead of him and has recently passed his bloodwork with flying colors and had a dental.  He is of course neutered and heartworm negative and microchipped.     ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Darling Darcy — 8 Pounds of Pure LoveIf you’ve ever wished for a tiny little companion who would happily go wherever you go, curl up in your arms, sleep beside you at night, and make you feel like the most important person in the world, you need to meet Darcy.Darcy is an 8-year-old, 8-pound long-haired Chihuahua with a beautiful face, a lively little spirit, and a heart that is absolutely overflowing with love. She is the kind of girl who wants to be close to her person and would be perfectly content snuggled in your arms or tucked beside you on the pillow at bedtime. She is affectionate without being boring, though—this little lady still has plenty of life and fun in her!Darcy LOVES going for car rides and thinks she should be included in your adventures whenever possible. She also has a hilarious little protective streak and will happily keep watch over the car while you pop inside to run an errand. She is a tiny dog with a surprisingly important job! ❤️What really makes Darcy happy is having a fenced yard. She didn’t have one in her previous home, and now that she has discovered the joy of safely running and exploring at her foster home, she absolutely loves it. Watching this little girl prance around the yard like a miniature pony, stopping to smell the grass and flowers and enjoy the fresh air, is pretty darn adorable. A securely fenced yard—even a small one—is important for her happiness.Darcy is still working on her house manners and is making progress with her foster family. With consistency, patience, and a person who can give her the attention she needs, we believe she will get there. She is a sweet girl who simply needs someone willing to help her succeed.Darcy had a frightening experience in her past when she was attacked by a large dog, and she remains very afraid of big dogs. She does well with other small dogs, but her forever family will need to make sure she is protected from large dogs.Darcy may be 8 years old, but she certainly hasn’t read the memo about slowing down! She is playful, curious, affectionate, and ready to enjoy the good life she deserves. Give this little girl a soft place to land, a fenced yard to explore, and a person to love, and she will give you something far more valuable in return—her whole heart.If Darcy sounds like the little companion you’ve been missing, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.

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.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.September 30, 2026, 9:06 pm
