Story
Millie is such a cutie and does so great with humans-she will literally leap in to your arms! She does however have a great dislike of other canines and will vocalize her displeasure and can get snippy with other dogs and so must not be in a home with another dog around. People are great! She does love to go in the car and her fosters take her along everywhere which is awesome! Millie does have a rather significant collapse in her airway system so cannot ever be put under anesthesia so will need to remain intact. She also cannot wear a collar but is kept in a harness instead. She can live a long, happy life as long as her new people understand that her acitivy level definitely needs to be monitored-but she is great with kids and would make a great family pet as long as their are no other dogs around!January 7, 2026, 4:33 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 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)

Story
Meet Pioneer! Pioneer is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being close to his people. He’s happiest curled up beside his human, snuggling into blankets, or making himself comfortable on a cozy bed. He enjoys getting outside and is great at letting you know when he needs a potty break, which makes him an easy companion at home. In foster, Pioneer has shown himself to be a gentle, well-behaved dog who prefers a calm environment where he can relax and focus on his person. He enjoys soft, stuffed toys and gentle play, and he settles nicely once placed in his crate. With his loving personality and excellent house manners, Pioneer will make a wonderful, devoted companion!

Story
My coworkers daughter brought this baby home from Walmart at 9 weeks. They kept her for 2 weeks, and she had no shots and she had a hard time with my coworkers existing, older bigger dogs. I’ve had her a week, making her 12 weeks old. I tried to take her from my coworker to help but she needs more room to live and love. She’s a busy busy explorer! She deserves to be cared for in a loving and stable environment and to someone who will make sure she gets her shots. My mental health is deteriorating rapidly as is my financial situation, due to other factors in my life. Not because of Opal. She’s a very good girl.
