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. ccrnewengland@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.November 4, 2026, 5:54 pm

Story
Some dogs choose their person. And Grant? Well, Grant has a definite soft spot for the gentlemen. He adores his foster mom, but let a kind man with a gentle voice, a soft hand, and (bonus points!) no ball cap come along, and you just might witness the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Once Grant decides you're his guy, prepare to be adored.Grant is a 3½-year-old Chihuahua/Feist mix weighing just 19 pounds, and his story is one of those reminders of just how resilient and forgiving dogs can be. He came from a home with 15 dogs, none altered, living in very poor conditions. Animal Control stepped in, and Critter Cavalry Rescue was called to help some of the little dogs find safety and a chance at a better life. Grant was one of those lucky souls. And look at him now!Over the past several months, Grant has blossomed in ways that make his foster family so proud. He enjoys going for walks, riding in the car, and even attending Puppy Yoga classes at the YMCA. He quietly joins the fun, welcomes gentle attention, and has made new human and canine friends along the way. He gets along with other dogs and usually has a special buddy in his foster home.Grant also has a few adorable little quirks that make him all the more lovable. He is a world-class blanket snuggler and loves finding the coziest place to curl up. But don't be surprised to find him perched on a sofa, chair, bed, or even somewhere a little unexpected! Grant believes the best view in the house is from somewhere above floor level.What Grant really dreams of, though, is a special man of his own. A retired or younger senior gentleman might be a wonderful match, but age isn't nearly as important as having a kind heart and the desire for a loyal little companion. And ladies, don't worry! A wife or girlfriend is absolutely welcome. Grant is simply hoping his favorite guy will be there to share his heart and his days.There is something incredibly special about earning the trust and love of a dog like Grant. He has come such a long way, and we believe he has the potential to become someone's devoted little shadow, faithful companion, and very best friend.If you think you might be Grant's person, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. We'd love to tell you more about this special boy!November 4, 2026, 5:54 pm
