Story
DOB 6-11-2025 This gorgeous little boy named Natan is a sweetheart. He is a little shy, gets along with other little dogs, loves to play and is social. Natan is up to date on shots and a healthy boy! Natan's adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they run every other week to their stops on the East Coast. They are the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
OB 5-12-2019 Elias is a retired puppy mill worker, he was stuck in a cage for 5 years of his life from the time he was born. When he came he was so thin, his teeth were totally rotten and he couldn't eat. Well that was his old life, not his new life! Elias has been neutered, all teeth had to be removed, he was heartworm negative and is now on ProHeart6, up to date on all shots and has become a little on the porky side! Elias would love to have his own home now, something he never had hopes of is a reality for him now. Elias is crate trained, gets along with other little dogs, would love to be loved by someone who knew how special he is. Elias's adoption fee is 500.00, this transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, the only one we use for our kids! The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.

Story
Gnocchi is a sweet boy who is ready to find his new home. We estimate this little man to be around 10 years old and he weighs just under 12lbs. His tongue is permanently out, but he does have some teeth. Gnocchi originally came from Alabama and he had a few medical issues that we needed to address. He had ear infections, Coccidia, and pneumonia. All have been treated and Gnocchi is ready for his next chapter. Gnocchi is quiet and independent, but he's been great with all the dogs at our rescue. He is a messy eater and sometimes prefers his wet food on the floor (quirky!) Gnocchi also enjoys finding and chewing on trash - napkins, paper towels, lint, random plastic bits - none of them are safe from Gnocchi. So ideally the floor will be kept free of debris. Gnocchi is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and recently had a dental. To apply to adopt Gnocchi, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
Looking for the ultimate cuddle buddy with a playful spark? Meet Tessa! This adorable 3-year-old Maltipoo weighs just 11.6 pounds, but her personality is full of love, fun, and sweetness. Tessa is the total package—she’s house-trained, crate-trained, and walks like a pro on a leash. She gets along great with other dogs and even does well with cats (as long as they’re not tempting her to chase with a game of tag!). She’s equal parts snuggler and playmate. Tessa absolutely loves to run and play, especially with a furry friend, so she’s hoping for a home with a fenced yard and maybe even a canine companion to share her adventures. When playtime is over, she’s more than happy to curl up and be your little “lap dog.” Tessa was once part of a loving home, but life circumstances changed when her owner’s family faced serious health challenges. Though she was well cared for and deeply loved, Tessa is now looking for a home where she can once again be a priority—ideally with someone who is home often and ready to shower her with attention. Her foster says it best: she’s perfect. Sweet, social, playful, and oh-so-cute—Tessa is ready to steal your heart and become your new best friend.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.March 22, 2026, 8:12 pm
