Story
Meet Marshmallow, the sweetest softie of a  Miniature Poodle on the planet.  Said to be about 12 years or older,  whorver guessed his age never lived with this spunky, active little guy.  No way does this little guy slow down or hobble?Along like an old man.  In fact, he jumps he begs to get in your lab. He climbs stairs.He just does everything up dog ten years and under would do. He runs and hops around the house like he's half his age. He keeps up with the young dog in the home, chasing and playing, running from room to room and not the senior boy he truly is. When not playing, he happily follows his foster mom around the house and is ready to jump on her lap if she sits down. Marshmallow is a happy boy that loves to snuggle and give kisses. Believe it or not, this boy is the outdoorsy type and loves to lay in the sun and explore the enclosed patio.  He is always up for a good walk on the leash is a champ. When being walked.  Just know he is the curious type and is an observant boy.  If he finds something that interests him he will stop and sit to watch what's going on. If you're missing him in the house, he can likely be found on the back of the couch looking out the front window-not barking, just being nosey. When he's tired, he will put himself to bed in his crate, usually burrowing under the blankets. His favorite place to nap/sleep is with his foster mom. Marshmallow is nithing but a joy to have in your life.  All he wants us love, snuggles, and comfy blankets.

This little guy has been through a lot, but his spirit is shining brighter than ever.  Monti was found wandering the streets, scared and scruffy, dodging everyone who tried to help him.  It took a little patience and a lot of cat food to finally bring him to safety. The second we met him, we knew he was something special. Beneath the mats and burrs was a purebred Miniature Poodle with a gentle soul and the most loving eyes you’ve ever seen. After a fresh shave and a spa day (he was perfect for the groomer!), Monti practically glowed. He’s since had his teeth cleaned, been fully vetted, neutered, and crate trained. He's now feeling brand new and so ready for his next chapter.   Monti is: Incredibly affectionate – he loves snuggles and gives the sweetest kisses Great with other dogs and respectful kiddos House-trained and crate-trained Not a fan of cats – he thinks they’re for chasing, not cuddling!   Monti is the perfect mix of playful and chill. Whether it’s a walk in the park or curling up on the couch, he’s happiest just being by your side. This little survivor is ready to give his whole heart to a forever family. Could that be you? Apply to adopt Monti today and give this deserving boy the loving home he's been waiting for ! Please contact critter cavalry rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.

Story
  At just 9 pounds, 5-year-old Wisteria is as delicate and lovely as the flower she’s named after. But behind her dainty frame is a soul just beginning to learn what love truly feels like. Wisteria spent the first five years of her life as a backyard breeder dog, never knowing the comfort of a home, a soft bed, or gentle hands. For the past 4 weeks, she’s been discovering life in a real home—and slowly but surely, she’s starting to trust it.  Her journey so far:   She’ll sleep by your side once she feels safe She loves playing in a fenced yard and really needs one She’s begun to play and interact with other dogs—it’s heart-melting She’s still scared of leashes, so leash walks aren't possible just yet she’s housebroken with encouragement and a schedule.‍&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143‍ She’s painfully shy, but if you’re patient, she’ll come for pets and love  Wisteria becomes a statue of fear in unfamiliar situations, but her bravery grows a little more each day. She needs a calm, committed home—ideally with another gentle dog, a securely fenced yard, and humans who will let her move at her own pace. She’s one of those rare souls who—once she trusts you—will love you deeply and quietly. She just needs time, patience, and a promise that she will never again be discarded or used. If you're ready to offer this beautiful girl the forever she deserves, please reach out. She’s more than worth the wait.   Text us at 615-661-5333 Email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com – don’t forget to include your city and state when you reach out!  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.com  April 25, 2025, 8:22 am

Story
This handsome Miniature Poodle boy is called Wrigley and he is a young 3 year old, 14 pound sweetheart looking for a home.  His life started off with a breeder and he was purchased as a Christmas gift for young children who soon grew tired of the novelty puppy.  They were supposed to take care of him and the parents were not willing to pick up the slack for his care.  The solution was to put this poor 14 pound boy outside on a tie out in the cold elements of Winter.  A neighbor grew so concerned about him and asked if they would give him up to a rescue.  They fortunately agreed and soon this handsome Poodle was in the right hands that could change his life.  He needed to be neutered and it has been done with all other vetting.  Wrigley is a happy boy despite the lack of love and past care.  He seems to have been unfazed that he spent time alone outside and not receiving the real love and snuggles that he so freely gives now to his foster mom. He is housebroken once again and he has left the horror of being on a tie-out far behind.  He is crate trained and we have groomed him just before neutering him.  He has a whole new life ahead of him and we have polished him up to look as dapper as he could before leaving for a new forever home. If you have been looking for a young Poodle to rescue and love then, this is a rare opportunity to get a fully vetted boy with no hidden issues or fears.  He is fine with other dogs, cats and gets along great with everyone he meets. Wrigley was wonderful to the children in the first home even though they did not appreciate him. This treasure is just waiting for a miracle family to love him.  Could that be you?  He is in Tennessee and we transport northward almost every weekend.  Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.   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.April 30, 2025, 9:41 pm

Story
Teddy is an 8-year-old poodle-shih tzu mix. We originally rehomed Teddy when he was a little over a year old when some friends were moving and didn’t have the space for him. He’s been a sweet, cuddly dog for our family, but he has some health and behavioral issues. He’s on medication for anxiety and we’ve come to realize our home environment, particularly with two small children, exacerbates this. He’s not an aggressive dog, but he will nip at them if he feels like they are going to touch him. He also resource guards napkins, paper towels, etc. He has chronic ear infections, which our vet believes is a combination of the hair in his ear trapping dirt and possible allergies. He is an incredibly loving and playful dog with adults he knows. He loves to be close to those he feels comfortable with, sit in laps, and play fetch with his ball. He is housebroken, crate trained, and knows basic commands he learned at obedience school. He also does well with other dogs.
