Story
For inquiries email Margaret@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $500 Location: Suffolk, VA Meet Jude: A Special Pup Looking for the Perfect Owner Jude comes to us from the shelter in Manassas, VA. While his exact age is unknown, he is an adult estimated to be around 8 years old, give or take a year. Jude is a small mixed breed, likely a spaniel mix with characteristics similar to a shih tzu or another short-legged, long-torso pup. Determining his precise breed is a challenge, and your guess is as good as ours! Jude has already visited the vet for his vaccines and has been neutered. He has a heart murmur and he has seen a cardiologist before surgery. He does requires a daily heart pill to manage a heart murmur, but this condition does not slow him down or dampen his spirit. Jude is settling well into his foster home. He sleeps soundly through the night, has a healthy appetite, and demonstrates good potty manners. He does have a stubborn streak and does not appreciate being forced to do things. He likes what he likes! Jude is not a cuddle bug or a couch potato. Instead, he prefers to relax by lying at his foster mom's feet while she sits on the sofa. He does shed, and the hot weather increases this, so regular brushing and coat maintenance will be necessary. Jude would thrive best in a calm home withoutchildren, as sudden movements near his head can be frightening for him. He would be content as an only pet or with a companion. Jude is considered a reactive dog and is currently working with a trainer. He is making progress, but his adopter should be committed to continuing his training. Jude is a very sweet boy who prefers the company of ladies over gentlemen. He enjoys carrying his ball on walks and appreciates a good brushing session. Jude is a wonderful pup who needs an understanding and patient owner. If you feel you can provide Jude with the loving home he deserves, please consider applying today.   Please follow us on social media for the most up to date photos and information.

Story
Meet Ozzie. In mid-November, this incredibly sweet little dog found himself in a dire situation. He wasn’t feeling well, so his family took him to the vet. Shockingly, their recommended solution was to put Ozzie to sleep. Thankfully, the vet couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. Instead, he asked Ozzie’s family to release him into his care, and they agreed. He immediately called Critter Cavalry, and Ozzie’s story took a hopeful turn.   After a second thorough exam and x-rays, it was determined that nothing was seriously wrong with Ozzie. He only seemed to have some mild back pain, which resolved after a short course of medication. The moment Miss Dawn arrived home and Ozzie heard the other dogs, his spirits lifted. He happily bounded out of the car, and in no time, he was running around the backyard with his new friends.   Ozzie is a very sweet little man who is 7 years old and 9 lbs.  He is very friendly.  Ozzie gets along great with other dogs.  He does not meet a 4 legged stranger.  He also loves people.  Ozzie would do best in an all-adult home with another small dog to play with.  He is happy boy who just brings a smile to your face.  Don’t you want a similar smile on your face!!     To be considered for Ozzie’s forever family and to request an adoption application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Ozzie is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)December 11, 2025, 7:13 pm
