Story
Meet one of the Christmas Cookies litter! Sweet mama -- Cookie -- came from a dire situation, where her life was in jeopardy. Animal control stepped in and worked to find a rescue to save her. She and her 7 babies are with us now, happy, healthy and loved. We're so glad we could get her out of that horrible place -- and now it is time to find loving forever homes for her and all of her babies. She is such a sweet, grateful girl. The puppies' birthday is estimated to be November 6, 2025 - so they will be 8 weeks old ready for forever homes January 1st. They currently all weigh right about 3-4 lbs and based on mama's size and their size now, we expect they will be 25-30 lbs adult dogs -- but that could be wrong since we have no idea who daddy is. We think mama is a small shepherd or possibly feist mix - you can look at her picture and see what you think 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!

Meet Cookie -- mama of the Christmas Cookies litter! This sweet mama came from a dire situation, where her life was being threatened. Animal control stepped in and worked to find a rescue to save her. She and her 7 babies are with us now, happy, healthy and loved. We're so glad we could get her out of that horrible place -- and now it is time to find loving forever homes for her and all of her babies. She is such a sweet, grateful girl. Cookie's puppies are weaned now and she'll be spayed soon and ready for her forever family to find her. She is sweet with all people and seems to get along find with other dogs and cats. She has not had any house breaking accidents in the puppy house or kennel. She is petite -- although she weighed 37 lbs at the vet the other day, we had been estimating her weight to be 28-32 lbs because she looks smaller. Although the vet estimated her to be about 2, she acts younger and we believe this was her first litter of puppies. So maybe she is closer to 18 months -- we can't know for sure. If you think you might want to give this sweet mama dog a home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one.

Story
  Are you looking for a small dog that is small, fun, bold, and full of personality? If you’re searching for a dog who can fill your home with laughter, life, and non-stop joy, let us introduce you to Hercules. This 11 month old 18 pound Apple Head chihuahua is small in size but legendary in spirit. He arrives in every room like a burst of sunshine–ears perked, tail wagging, and a grin that makes it impossible not to smile back. Hercules has the kind of personality that changes the energy of a home. He’s curious, social, and always ready for adventure. Whether he’s sniffing new friends, checking out what’s happening around the corner, or trotting proudly beside dogs 10 times his size, he’s confident and fearless without ever being rude. He truly believes the world is full of potential best friends. With all that zest for life, Hercules needs a home that matches his pace — someone who’s active, engaged, and excited to enjoy a dog with real spark. He is not a couch-only retirement-style companion; he’s the type of dog who would happily train with you, hike with you, or keep you laughing all day with his big personality and expressive little face. And when the day winds down, he’s perfectly happy to snuggle in and recharge for tomorrow’s fun.        If you’re ready for a joyful, energetic, loyal little sidekick who will adore you with his whole heart, Hercules can’t wait to meet you. Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to make him your boy.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 27, 2025, 12:03 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 ccrtennessee@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, 6:55 pm

Story
  Meet Dakota — a handsome 3-year-old Deer Head Chihuahua with soulful eyes and an 8-pound frame that holds a world of emotion. Just three months ago, his life was turned upside down. His loving mom became seriously ill and had to leave her home in New York to stay with friends in Tennessee. She was told Dakota and his sister, Cheyenne, could come… but months later, that welcome was withdrawn. Heartbroken and with nowhere else to turn, their mom had to let them go.Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in immediately—because dogs who lose everything deserve a chance to feel safe again. Dakota is still processing all the sudden changes in his young life. He is gentle and sweet, but understandably nervous, especially after living in a place where he wasn’t truly wanted. At first, he may hesitate when you reach out—but with a little patience, he leans in, softens, and may even offer a tiny kiss to show he’s trying to trust.  He finds comfort with other dogs—especially his sister—and loves to cuddle with them or burrow under a blanket when he feels unsure. Dakota is pee-pad trained, walks well on a leash, and loves following his foster mom from room to room, quietly seeking connection and reassurance. More than anything, Dakota needs stability, a calm home, and someone who truly understands the tender nature of Chihuahuas. With love, patience, and a kind heart, he will blossom into the devoted, affectionate boy he so badly wants to be. At Critter Cavalry Rescue, we promise dogs like Dakota that their heartbreak isn’t the end of their story. They will learn to trust again—and we are looking for the person who will help him do just that.  If you can picture yourself being the one to help Dakota heal,contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.This deserving little boy is ready for a gentle, loving forever home ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
