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 13, 2026, 6:55 pm

Story
Special Adopter Needed – Gentle, Sweet Soul with a Hard Past Fozzie is a 1 y/o, 18 lb. ShihTzu-Maltese mix who was abandoned in a rural area. He was rescued and sent to a foster home where we learned that he may have endured some abuse in his short life. This beautiful boy desperately wants to be near his human companions and will follow you around, eager to snuggle up next to you on the couch. Very affectionate and playful, he greets everyone he meets with joy (even the vet and groomer!), and loves his belly rubs and chew toys. He is fully house-trained and walks well on a leash. As a result of his prior likely mistreatment, his nervous system is a bit overwhelmed. This shows up in the way he protects himself and his things (toys/treats), and he has the ability to snap/bite if pushed past his comfort zone. *** He needs an experienced adopter who will give him time to settle in, read his body language, and teach him not to fear, but for that right person, he will be the sweetest, most loving little fellow. *** Fozzie will be best set up to succeed in a • A calm, adult-only home  • An experienced, patient adopter who understands fearful dogs • Someone who is home most of the time as he has separation anxiety when left alone • A house, not an apartment (ideally with a fenced-in yard for him to run!) because he howls when left alone With structure, boundaries, and respect, he will be a loyal, loving companion. For the right person, he will be incredibly rewarding. For the wrong situation, he will be overwhelmed and we do not want to set him - or you - up for failure. If you think you may be the right home for Fozzie, please text/call Aly at 732-604-0625. We also have additional photos/videos to share. Thank you for caring about a pet in need! Please NOTE: Fozzie is currently located in the Boston, MA area. The adoption fee listed is in order for the rescue to recoup actual expenses from his vetting, transport, and care.
