Story
Meet Olaf, a 2-year-old, handsome Maltese mix boy weighing approximately 13 pounds and just the sweetest little guy on the planet.  Olaf came from a heartbreaking hoarding and neglect case after his owners were arrested, but you would never know it from his gentle, loving personality. This adorable little guy loves giving hugs, snuggling close, and soaking up attention from his people. He’s great with small and medium-sized dogs and enjoys playing, although he likes to act like a tough guy when the bigger dogs are around!Olaf is crate trained and is doing a great job learning his housebreaking skills despite the difficult start he had in life. With a little patience and consistency, he’ll continue to thrive.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will happily curl up in your lap after a day of fun, then Olaf is ready to do just that.  We want him to have a much happier and normal family in the many many years to come.  He is young, he is ready to look at his past from the rearview mirror and ride off into the sunset with a great family.  Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and ask for an adoption form please.     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.comJuly 12, 2026, 9:44 pm

Story
Check out this patriotic little guy!   Meet Baxter! If you're searching for a loving new family member, your search ends here. Baxter is a 12-pound, 2-3-year-old Malti Tzu (a Maltese and Shih Tzu mix), and he embodies all the best, sweetest traits of both breeds.  Ater a few days in his foster home, Baxter found his voice.  Yes he has that Maltese trait.  For this reason, Baxter is not suited to apartment life.   Baxter was found as a stray in Nashville after someone suspected he’d been hit by a car and brought him to the emergency vet. Thankfully, there were no broken bones, but he is currently healing from a sore back leg. (He’ll have X-rays taken when he’s neutered on 7/7.) We wish Baxter could tell us what happened and how he ended up on his own—it’s hard to imagine any family not wanting such a sweet boy.   Baxter is both a people-lover and a dog’s dog! He loves to play and would thrive with a young, active canine companion in his forever home. He adores people and always wants to be by your side—be prepared to never be alone again! His sore leg doesn’t slow him down; he still jumps on the furniture to be with his foster mom whenever steps are available.   This young gentleman walks well on a leash and is fully housebroken. He loves going on adventures and rides like a champ in the car—he even prefers the back seat, though he’s happy on a passenger’s lap, too! Baxter is the perfect companion for trips to the park or visits to dog-friendly restaurants and shops.     To learn more about bringing Baxter into your family or to request an adoption application, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311. Don’t wait—this sweet boy won’t be available for long!  July 12, 2026, 9:44 pm
