Millie is brand new to BR and is an absolute DOLL. She is active and loves to do zoomies and is just full of fun and frivolity! They did attempt to spay her at the shelter but had to bring her out of it and discovered she does have a collapsing trachea so we will have that checked out before we open her up for adoption.January 5, 2026, 1:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Marie! Marie is a gentle, timid sweetheart who just needs a little time and patience to feel safe in a new environment. Once she knows she’s secure, her true personality shines—and she is truly the sweetest little lovebug! Marie adores playing with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine friend in her forever home. She’s also a soft-toy connoisseur and a master thief of blankets and towels—her foster says she loves to sneak them away for cozy snuggles. Because she can be shy and startle easily, Marie requires a secure, physically fenced yard to help her feel safe as she settles in. She may start out shy, but Marie’s heart is pure gold. With the right person or family, she will blossom into the most loyal, affectionate companion. If you’re looking for a sensitive soul who will reward your patience with endless love, Marie is your girl.    Medical Notes: Microchipped Vaccinated Dewormed Maintained on monthly preventatives Spayed   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 8, 2025, 3:34 pm

Story
Meet Shania, our beautiful little comeback girl — and just like her country music namesake, she’s ready for a brand-new chapter filled with love, understanding, and the right environment to truly shine. Shania is a sweet JRT/Westie mix girl who is happy, lively and just 1-year, weighing just 12 pounds. Her look is a charming wiry coat paired with an absolutely darling personality. She enjoys leash walks, watching the world go by, and will happily investigate any squirrel bold enough to cross her path. She’s wonderful with other dogs, cats, and is friendly with men she meets out in public. Inside the home, however, Shania needs a very specific setup to feel safe and secure. Due to something in her past, she becomes protective if a man lives in the home and believes she must guard the woman she loves. Because of this, Shania needs a female-only household with no men living in the home. In the right environment, she relaxes, settles beautifully, and shows just how loving and joyful she truly is. She is currently working on potty training and does well using potty pads, and with continued consistency, she will keep improving. Shania is small, affectionate, and full of potential — she simply needs the right person who understands her and is willing to give her the peaceful, predictable home she deserves.  If you think you could be the perfect match for this special girl, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 29, 2025, 11:26 am

Story
Meet Ace! This sweet young fellow is looking for a family of his own. Ace is a handsome Jack Russell Terrier mix with an estimated birthday of 12/01/2024, weighing in around 20-25lbs. Ace came to us after his original owners moved and left him behind, and his kindhearted neighbor took him in and gave him some love and care. After making sure Ace was in good shape and graciously providing all his necessary vet care, she reached out to us to help Ace find his ideal forever family. We are still learing the ins and outs of Ace's personality, but so far he has shown to be a sweet young pup. He can be a little wary of strangers at first, but once he decides he trusts you he will give you all the love he has to offer. Ace does wonderfully with other dogs and with cats, but as always a meet and greet is required if you already have any dogs in the home.  Ace is fully vetted and will be microchipped upon adoption. If you're interested, give us a call at 615-446-387 or come by and see us on Tennsco Drive ##2608893##

Story
Meet Max Lee!🐾 Max is a one-year-old schnauzer/terrier mix weighing about 9 pounds, and he’s as sweet as they come! This little guy has never met a stranger — he’s friendly with everyone he meets and just wants to be your best friend. Max loves attention, cuddles, and playtime in equal measure. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playful fur sibling to romp around with. Max is also great with children and would make a wonderful addition to any family. Mealtime is his favorite part of the day (he’ll make sure you know when it’s dinner time!), and he’s mostly potty trained. He does well using pads if one is left out — though fair warning, he also thinks they make great toys if they’re not stuck down! Speaking of toys, Max is a little dog with a big love for play. His new family should be “toy rich,” because he can really put them to the test! When it’s time to wind down, Max sleeps beautifully in his kennel without making a peep — as long as he knows his people are close by. If you’re looking for a happy, affectionate, and playful pup who will fill your home with love and laughter, Max is your guy. 💛 Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 ( includes transport to your area)
