Story
Meet Isabella!! From Spins to Snuggles — the Rodeo Clown of Your Heart Isabella is a 2-year-old, 40-pound Jack Russell terrier mix (with a sprinkle of mystery DNA and a whole lot of personality). She’s sweet, silly, and just quirky enough to keep you laughing. At first, she might hang back and size you up — her “is this human cool?” test. But once you pass, watch out: you’re getting kisses, wiggles, and a lifetime subscription to her comedy show. Her signature move? The spin. When she’s happy, Isabella goes full Spinderella, twirling on her back feet like she’s auditioning for Broadway. Add in her zoomies, her famous “pancake flop” when she’s not ready to move, and her bob-and-weave routine that makes clipping her leash a sport, and you’ve got front-row seats to the funniest rodeo in town. And once the leash is clipped? Boom — she’s off like a racecar at the Indy 500. But don’t let her rodeo clown energy fool you. Inside, Isabella is a world-class snuggler. She settles beautifully with a toy or a cuddle and will happily trade in her rodeo boots for a quiet night in. She’s crate trained, house trained, walks well on leash, and has a wonderfully balanced energy: playful and spunky outside, calm and affectionate inside. She’d adore a fenced yard to show off her spins and zooms, and while she loves the company of other pups, she’d also thrive as the star of your show. Isabella isn’t just a dog — she’s joy, laughter, and love bundled up in one bouncy, goofy package. If you’ve been waiting for a best friend who’ll make you laugh daily and love you endlessly, Isabella is ready to lasso your heart.

Story
Jackpot!!! Pot of Gold here hiding in a furry body. To celebrate `March Madness` and the `luck of the Irish` my adoption fee is waived to help me find my forever family sooner. Maybe you could be my person and I could be your lucky clover?!Trudy is a just-over-a-year-old sweetheart who made her way to Massachusetts all the way from Puerto Rico in hopes of finding her forever home. Her journey hasn’t always been easy, Trudy was found all alone in an abandoned house and in poor condition. Thankfully, a kind rescuer stepped in, giving her the second chance at life she so deeply deserved. She already knows basic commands like sit and stay, enjoys toys that keep her entertained, and is happy to settle in for the night—she’ll sleep straight through until morning. Ask her for a kiss, and she’ll gladly give you one right back. Trudy is playful, energetic, and incredibly lovable. She’ll thrive best in an active household where she can run, play, and burn off her happy energy with plenty of daily activity - being a little athlete herself! With her joyful spirit and affectionate nature, Trudy is sure to bring endless love, laughter, and kisses to the lucky family who welcomes her home. Trudy has joined our extended stay program, meaning her fee has been reduced in hopes to find her forever home!Does Trudy sound like the right fit for you? Apply today at: capeannanimalaid.org/dogapp

Story
  This darling little Jack Russell boy is a young 18 month male that weighs 20 pounds and is a solid little love of a dog.  His name is Puppa-Doo and he is an owner surrender that we are seeing far too many of lately.   Who doesn't love a bright and happy to be alive Terrier pup that dances when you come home from a long day at the job.  Puppa-Doo is great family dog just waiting to fit right in when you invite him to come home with you!!!   He is housebroken and will go to door to alert you when he needs to go out. That is a huge plus in most family's check list.  He loves to chase the cat for sport and fun and he will of course do a record demolition destuffing of any weak plush toy.  Oh, how he loves to do that.  And then to keep him responding to sounds, a squeaky toy just makes his soul delight and sore to rapid panting and smiles.  He gets super excited when you play throw the squeaky toy. Puppy-Doo also will play fetch and chase if you want and that is perfect for young children who want a playful dog in their life.  At the end of the day and lots playtime, he likes to give kisses and lay on your lap. . He's a door greeter-both inside the house and when a car pulls up.  He adores love and attention and likes to sit and watch TV when you are there watching it with him. . And if you want a bed buddy then please let him crawl right up there next to you i   He is a great protector and will alert you like a doorbell would and barks when he hears a car on the gravel driveway.  All great and normal dog responsibilities that you want in your family lover and protector. And when someone shows up to visit at the house he runs circles around the outside of the house which is her own personal canine racetrack.  He is active like a JRT should be.  He is made that way.  Crate trained and housebroken and good with other dogs and kids and adults.  What more do you want in a dog and for your lifestyle.   A physically fenced yard or invisible fence would be good to have for this boy.  Safety for your family pet is so important.  If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com        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.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm
