Story
Ladies, do you have a weakness for big, brown eyes? Do you crave the attention and protection only our four-legged friends can offer? Cody is our resident flirt, a Jack Russell terrier, and will be most comfortable in the presence of a woman. His loyalty to his "person" is only heard of in novels. He enjoys the company of those he trusts, and once this is achieved, he will become your furry shadow. His journey so far has had more downs than ups, which has resulted in some hesitation to let people get close to him. Now, he is on the search for someone who will treat him the way he deserves. If you know the breed, Cody is a great example. He is SMART, affectionate with those he loves, and looking for a home that will understand his breed. JRT's are especially persistent and irascible. It is what JRT adopters love the most about them!!! Local Adoption Only Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

  Hey Hey!! Look at ME!!   My name is Pappy!! I’m a sweet little Jack Russell Terrier guy that would love to have a warm cozy home again. For some reason my last family had to move away and forgot me. They must have had too much on their mind. ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 Right now I’m in a foster home getting lots of attention and love! They tell me I’m the BESTEST boy! I am 3 years old, 18 pounds, crate trained, house trained, and I love other doggie friends.  Make note, those fuzzy kitties are strange to me and I don’t care for them too much.  I’m ready to finally find my one and only family that will love me forever and always! Are you that family? Are you ready for the BESTEST boy ?!!&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com       ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Lucky Lionel is a most “LUCKY” dog since he was snatched out of the middle of a highway in rural Tennessee and avoided being run over by one of many cars and trucks.  His life was changed right there in the middle of the highway when a rescue angel loaded him in her car and carried him home to safety.  Noone ever came forward to claim this boy on social media and we are happy to offer this special 4-5 year old, 15 pound boy to a special Jack Russell loving family.  He is a boy that likes mature adult dogs and tolerates puppies.  He is good with the chickens and cats at the foster home and just basically ignores them. Lucky Lionel is the little guy that wants to be the center of attention.  He is pretty good on leash and is almost potty trained but has an occasional accident every now and then. Lionel will bark at new people for a minute and then is fine with them.  He is being socialized and good with a 4 year old busy toddler boy and all the adults in the home.  This boy is smart and adorable and loves to sit next to you or in your lap.  He is not needy for love but does ask for it. True to form he is a JRT who is an independent spirit but one that gives back over and over with fun and love. If you are interested in this boy please know that he is best in a fenced yard and he could go for nice long walks with you daily to get off the energy.  Email us at ccrtennessee@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.December 4, 2023, 10:52 am
