Story
Monroe is young and NOT a lap dog! She will need plenty of exercise and stimulation! She's FAST, SMART, and eager to explore. And she can dig!When we carried Monroe into our vet for her intake exam, she was scooped up by a team member there and we didn't really touch her until the end of the visit. Everyone wanted to meet her and hold her and she charmed them all. And Monroe loved every minute of it.Monroe really is a sweet, petite little girl - her legs are so short but they most definitely get her where she needs to go - and quickly! She has made some friends in Panda's Place - they usually let her run circles around them and then they start to play with her.Her new friends have so much patience with her - they are trying to teach her how to play and make friends and she is such an eager learner.That's the striking thing about Monroe - she is 11-months-old and every day is a brand new adventure for her. But in a calm and curious way, not a frenzied, puppy-mode kind of way. And as much as she loves other dogs, she loves people even more.Monroe was an owner surrender to us. But this is a critical time for her - no puppy should be in the shelter, it's a world we don't want them to become familiar with.Help us keep keep Monroe's time with us short and sweet - come meet this lovely little girl and be prepared to be swept away with goodness.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Story
Hi, I’m Mona—and yes, I’ve been told I have a smile that could rival the famous painting. But unlike my namesake, there’s nothing mysterious about me: I’m an open book of love, loyalty, and a little bit of mischief. At just 2 years old, I’m a Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart that beats for my people. I’m what they call a “Velcro dog”—where you go, I go. Whether it’s a walk around the block (which I love!) or just lounging nearby, I’m happiest when I’m close. I weigh in at a sturdy 34 pounds, and I’m spayed, vaccinated, and ready to find my forever home. I do best with older kids who understand that I like my space respected sometimes. Other dogs? Not really my scene—unless they’re calm, older, and don’t mind my independent streak. I’ve got a playful side too, and every now and then I’ll sneak off with one of the kids’ toys (oops!). So having some chew toys of my own is a must—I promise I’ll put them to good use. I’m currently in Charlotte, NC but don’t let distance stop you. For the right home, I can be transported—just keep in mind there may be a transport fee if volunteer transport cannot be found. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a charming grin and a heart full of devotion, I might just be your Mona. Let’s make some magic together.

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.comFebruary 23, 2026, 12:30 pm

Name: Rango Age: 10 years old Weight: 18 pounds Color: tri color Breed: Jack Russell Terrier mix Vaccines: up to date Altered: yes Heartworm Status: negative on prevention Energy Level: average House trained: yes, but marks Crate trained: unknown is not crated Dog friendly: yes Cat friendly: yes Kid friendly: yes Temperament: sweet, loving, cuddly Adoption fee: 175 Available for adoption anywhere in the US and Canada with transport provided at no extra cost Currently located in Chesapeake VA Application link: http://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/VACC/Dog Rango (and his best buddy Casey) have a tragic story. They had an wonderful human whos life was taken by a family member. We don't know what Casey and Rango experienced but we saw the heartbreak in their sad eyes. Thankfully a lovely woman who was friends with their human immediately went and picked them up. Within a few weeks they started to perk back up almost knowing they would be cared for and loved again. Rango is not bonded to Casey but they have lived together so many years, we are praying they can be adopted together. Rango has a history of seizures. The seizures are not severe or often enough to be on medication. He remains mobile, stable, and does not loose bowel movements during these episodes. We are continuing to monitor and if meds are needed , even after adoption, CCRT will get these meds started at our cost. Rango loves cuddling beside his human and napping. He is gentle and friendly and will make a great family member to almost any household

Story
Buddy Holly is an older gentleman coming in at 7 years. He is a jack russell terrier mix that was part of a recent transfer of a few other JRT`s from a hoarding situation. Buddy seems fairly social even walks well on a leash and seems to do well with other dogs. Due to Buddy`s history we are asking for children to be 6+ and any resident canines to come for a meet and greet. Buddy will need a dental prior to adoption and this will be covered under our Grey Muzzle grant! If you would like to meet with Buddy or have more questions please speak with kennel staff and they will be happy to help.
