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.August 11, 2026, 6:13 pm

Story
Tommy is courageous, loving, smart, and always excited when its meal time. Over the past week he has really come out his shell and gained confidence.  Tommy is quite the explorer and approaches the world with curiosity and determination.  In fact, we often forget that he is blind because he navigates his surrounding so well.  He and the foster's pup have become fast friends and spend much of their day playing together. Tommy is living his best life. Sweet Tommy may have little to no sight, but don't tell him that! Tommy doesn't know he's any different, and he certainly isn't letting partial blindness slow him down. This happy little guy spends his days playing with the resident dog, stealing toys whenever the opportunity presents itself, and exploring the world with confidence and curiosity. While Tommy is blind in one eye and has only partial vision in the other, he navigates life remarkably well. He learns routines quickly, follows sounds and scents, and takes his cues from the dogs and people around him. Most importantly, Tommy is happy. He loves to play, loves companionship, and approaches each day with enthusiasm and joy. His foster says he keeps up with everyone just fine and has no intention of letting a little thing like limited vision get in the way of living his best life. The world is Tommy's oyster, and he's ready to find a family willing to see past his eyes and appreciate the incredible little dog he is. Tommy is the tiniest cuddliest of his litter.  Tommy is sweet as sugar!  These beautiful babies didn’t start life with love — they started it fighting to survive.  Abandoned in Puerto Rico and left to starve, this multicolored litter of puppies was found just in time. Weak, hungry, and scared, they had no one looking out for them… until now. Today, they are safe, fed, and finally learning what it feels like to be cared for — but their journey isn’t over yet. Each puppy is as unique as their coat — a perfect mix of colors, personalities, and pure resilience. Despite everything they’ve been through, they are incredibly sweet, playful, and full of love. They are trusting, hopeful, and ready to bond with a family of their own. Now they need the most important rescue of all — a forever home. ✨ Puppy details: • 8 months old, 35 lbs • current on age appropriate vaccines • Mixed breed “Sato” pups from Puerto Rico • Bright, playful, and affectionate Adoption fee $395Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
