Story
  Meet Playful Patrick—a tiny 10-pound black and white Maltese mix who looks like a bouncing little lamb when he’s racing through the yard and steals hearts everywhere he goes.   At just one year old, Patrick is the perfect blend of playful joy and gentle affection. He loves a good burst of backyard fun, but his favorite place in the world is right next to you—curled up on your lap with his little head resting sweetly on your shoulder, completely content just being close.   Patrick is one of those rare little dogs who seems to understand companionship deeply. He is excellent on a leash, rides calmly in the car, and has wonderful house manners in his foster home. He is also neutered, heartworm tested, fully vaccinated, and microchipped—healthy, happy, and ready for his forever family.   Social and easygoing, Patrick enjoys the company of cats and gets along well with most dogs. He and a Chihuahua in his foster home weren’t the closest of friends initially, but both came into rescue unneutered, and since that has been addressed, dynamics have improved and he continues to thrive in a structured environment.   Patrick is wonderful with children, though due to his small size, a home with older, gentle kids is preferred just to keep him safe and comfortable. He is playful—not hyper—and brings a cheerful, steady joy wherever he goes.   Everyone who meets him is instantly taken with his sweet, gentle personality and his undeniable charm. Patrick isn’t just cute—he’s the kind of little dog who quietly becomes your shadow, your comfort, and your constant companion.   If you feel this special boy might be the missing piece in your home, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.comMay 18, 2026, 5:20 pm

Story
Meet Nigel 5 pounds. One very big personality. This tiny gentleman came to us from Baltimore, and he is more than ready for the pampered life he deserves. Nigel is a devoted companion who thrives on attention. He wants to be pet, carried, and admired as often as possible. If you happen to overlook him, he may offer a little dance to remind you he’s there. Nigel is wonderful on leash, rides beautifully in the car, and handles grooming like a pro. He’s not particularly interested in other dogs and much prefers the company of his people. He can feel a bit anxious when left alone, but when you’re home, he’ll happily curl up right beside your feet. Because of his small size, Nigel would do best with dog-savvy children who understand how to be gentle. He also has a low-grade heart murmur and no teeth, so he will need to stay on a soft food diet. Nigel is ready to find a home where he can be loved, cherished, and most importantly the center of attention he was always meant to be. Nigel is approx. 13 years and 5 lbs. Fostered in Warrenton, VA Please apply at mirishaven.org
