Story
Meet Winston, a dignified yet incredibly sweet 13-month-old Havanese mix who is ready to leave his past behind and find the loving forever home he truly deserves. Weighing in at just 21 lbs., this small, handsome boy with his soft black and tan coat is as charming as he is resilient. Rescued from a hoarding situation along with several other animals, Winston is now safely in foster care, where he is beginning to blossom. What he really longs for is a male adopter to call his own.Despite his difficult start, Winston has already shown what a well-mannered and gentle companion he can be. He gets along nicely with other dogs, making him a great addition to many types of households, although his history with cats remains a mystery. As you might expect, Winston will need time and patience to fully adjust to a new environment, but with kindness and consistency, his loving personality will continue to shine brighter every day. Winston prefers a quiet home.With a medium energy level, Winston is the perfect balance of playful and relaxed. He will join you for walks around the neighborhood and then settle in for a cozy evening by your side. He is still working on his house training, crate training, and leash skills, but he is eager to learn and will thrive with gentle guidance and encouragement.More than anything, Winston is searching for a safe, stable home where he can feel secure, cherished, and truly loved. In return, he promises to be a loyal and devoted companion who will fill your days with warmth, sweetness, and quiet joy. If you are ready to open your heart and home to a deserving pup, Winston may be the perfect match you have been waiting for. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Winston is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Story
Alfie comes into rescue with a past not suitable for a dog as he was rescued from a hoarding situation. Alfie has limited exposure to life on the outside as he has been on the inside looking out. Moving forward, Alfie is not looking back. He will need to be placed in a home with a male adopter.Alfie is a one-year-old Havanese mix weighing around 15 pounds. He has made progress in adjusting to life with the help of some tender loving care. He will need time to adjust with new people and new surroundings. He is making strides in learning what it is like to be well loved and cared for. He is good with other dogs, but it is not known if he has been around cats since he has had no exposure since coming into rescue. His house, crate and leash training are all underway. He will need a patience and consistency in training to help Alfie every step of the way.This little sweetheart deserves a family that will love and care for him for the rest of his days. His second chance is out there. Are you the family Alfie has been looking for?* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.

Story
Name: Hezly Nickname: Hezzo. Hesleyan University. Hezzo Bezzo. Leelee. Breed: Havanese Sex: Male Age: ~ 3 year Weight: 11.5 lbs. Before OMD: OMDR took Hezly and 3 of his housemates into rescue when a local animal shelter impounded over 50 animals from a hoarding case. There were 23 matted, under-socialized dogs covered in urine and feces. Hezly, Suni, Simone, and Jordan have been with dedicated OMD foster families learning what it means to live in loving homes, “how to dog” and, of course, receiving their vet care. Energy level: Slow-mow in public, medium-high at home. Confidence level: Low in public, high in his home. Hezly is very unsure about the outside world – which isn’t surprising given his history and the likelihood he was never brought outside the first year of his life. His fear does not result in any aggression, but he will pancake, make himself small, and/or freeze. What we love most: His innocent nature and his little attempts to try and be brave. His bunny hops. How he melts into you when you pick him up. How incredibly sweet he is. What he loves most: Chewing. Bones. Hopping and running through the yard. Food. Playing with his foster (dog) brothers. Sleeping in bed with foster family. What he doesn’t love: Coming inside when it’s a nice day outside! What he knows: Not much tbh. He’s learning “how to dog” and be confident in the outside world. Working on: Confidence. Independence/being alone – He absolutely wants to be right with his people when they are home and has a hard time (barking and crying) when they leave. His foster family is working with him on this, but he will do best with a family who is not consistently gone for long periods of time. Kids: 8 years and up please! He has not shown any aggression to people, but fast-moving, loud kiddos will make him very nervous. Dogs: Yes! Currently fostered with Suni, and another male small dog and is very playful. He will often bark initially at a new dog, and he does need to chew his bones and toys separately from other dogs. Cats: Should be fine! He went nose-to-nose with a neighbor senior cat and had no reaction. House-trained: He came into rescue completely not house-trained (again, unsurprising given his history) and he is making solid progress! He is certainly not 100% but he is getting there and will thrive with a family who has patience and can stick with routine. Crate-trained: Yes. He is currently crated when home alone and he does protest, but settles down eventually (until he knows you’re back home and will then start his protests again!) Hezly is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application from omdrescue.org.

Story
Name: Suni Nicknames: Sooner. Grandpa. Slowpoke. Suni cum laude. Breed: Havanese Sex: Male Age: ~ 3 year Weight: 11.5 lbs. Before OMD: OMDR took Suni and 3 of his housemates into rescue when a local animal shelter impounded over 50 animals from a hoarding case. There were 23 matted, under-socialized dogs covered in urine and feces. Hezly, Suni, Simone, and Jordan have been with dedicated OMD foster families learning what it means to live in loving homes, “how to dog” and, of course, receiving their vet care. Energy level: Medium-high. Confidence level: Medium. He is very confident in his foster home, but has moments of uncertainty in the outside world – which isn’t surprising given his history and the likelihood he was never brought outside the first year of his life. He is overall more confident than his foster brother, Hezly, but still has moments of timidness. What we love most: His gentle soul. How curious he is. His “don’t you stop petting me” pawing at you (which, we suppose, could be annoying to people who aren’t as obsessed with their dogs as we are…). When he rolls over and somersaults up against you. When you go to put on his harness and he stands up to help you. The noises he makes when he plays with other dogs. His Einstein-esque wispy eyebrows (yes they’ve been trimmed!) What he loves most: Playing with his foster brothers. Being right on top of foster mom. Chewing bones. Snooping around. What he doesn’t love: The car – he’s gotten car sick a few times. What he knows: Not much tbh. He’s learning “how to dog” and be even more confident in the outside world. Working on: Independence/being alone – he absolutely wants to be right with his people when they're home and has a hard time (barking) when they leave. His foster mom is working with him on this, but will he do best with a family who isn't consistently gone for long periods of time. Kids: 5+ please. He has not shown any aggression to people (and was drawn to the kiddo he did meet!) but very young chaotic, loud kiddos can make him nervous. Dogs: Yes! Currently fostered with Hezly and another small male dog and has proven to be very playful. He will often bark initially at new dogs, but warms up quickly. Cats: Should be fine! His approach to life is generally slow and gentle. House-trained: He came into rescue completely not housetrained (again, unsurprising given his history) and he is making solid progress! He is certainly not 100% but he is getting there and will thrive with a family who has patience and can stick with routine. Crate-trained: Yes. He is currently crated when home alone and does protest, but settles down eventually (until he knows you’re back home and will then start his protests again!) Suni is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states.

Story
    Independent Ella is the kind of dog who makes the world feel a little warmer the moment she walks into the room. With a constantly wagging tail and bright, curious eyes, she greets everyone like an old friend whether it’s a stranger on the street, a giggling child, or another animal crossing her path. This 3 year old, 20 pound Shih Tzu mix girl was found as a matted stray and her rescuers never found the person who owned her.  She ended up in a boarding facility for a few weeks as they searched and she received a much needed glamour grooming that you see the results here in her pictures.  Ella is very self-assured and spunky and spry.  She bounces around like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower.  She is good with other dogs but will let them know that she is the Queen Bee.  It would be best for her to be in a home as the one and only girl and she could certainly live with another male dog or two.  Girl on girl in a home she might be a challenge as she makes her Queen Bee position known.  On the flip side of that we know Ella to be very affectionate and eager to spend time with her humans. She is mostly housebroken but would be best for her to be crated overnight.  This social butterfly never meets a stranger nor finds a situation one that she cannot handle. She is not shy and basically lives in her own 'no fear zone'. If you are looking for a lifetime companion who is up for any and every adventure that you bring her way, then Ella is 'in' for the ride. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  She is ready to go!!!    PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMay 22, 2026, 10:26 pm
