Story
Peebles is the kind of little dog who walks into a room and somehow becomes the center of attention without even trying. This tiny 8-pound Papillon/Chihuahua mix is about 3 years old, and she has already perfected the art of making people fall completely in love with her. She is a little social butterfly who thinks the world is wonderful and everyone in it is a potential best friend. Dogs, cats, people—Peebles loves them all!And then there is her favorite thing in the world: your lap. The second you sit down, Peebles believes that is where she belongs. She is a true cuddlebug who wants to be close, loved, held, and included. She isn’t the kind of dog who is happy admiring you from across the room. She wants to be your little shadow and your constant companion.She is also an absolute showstopper. Those adorable Papillon ears, her tiny size, sweet face, and happy little personality make her incredibly hard to resist. Peebles has a way of making people smile the moment they meet her, and she seems to genuinely believe everyone she encounters is simply a new friend waiting to be loved.Peebles is still working on her house training. She was previously trained to use pee pads, so she has a foundation and is now learning to make the transition to going outside. Leash walking is also a work in progress, but she is learning. What she really wants is a securely fenced little yard where she can run, play, sniff, and enjoy some carefree time without being attached to a leash. She doesn’t need a huge yard—just a safe fenced space where she can be a happy little dog. And she absolutely loves to prance around her foster mom’s yard!Peebles is currently in a foster home in Nashville, Tennessee, and she can travel on Critter Cavalry Rescue’s weekend transport to the right forever family. She may be tiny, but she has a huge personality and even more love to give. If you have been looking for a little companion who will happily become your shadow, your lap warmer, your adventure buddy, and your very best friend, Peebles may be the little girl you’ve been waiting for.If you think your lap might be the one Peebles has been looking for, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.August 26, 2026, 8:50 pm

Story
Grace was surrendered to a shelter with her housemate Rocky. Both were scheduled to be euthanized within the week due to fear/anxiety/stress within the shelter. Pulled by this rescue on their scheduled D-Day, Grace had pneumonia and obvious ongoing malnutrition. Once out of the shelter environment she began to open up to her foster Mom. Pneumonia was treated, she was able to get spayed, and now she is a zig zag wiggleworm of excitement! She is silly, fun, playful, happy, fetches, wrestles, and gives kisses! You have to earn her trust before she comes to you, but that is a fair ask! Currently working on potty training and getting more weight on her and leash training. Goal will be about 25#. She will excel in a home with a fenced yard, daily exercise (she has plenty of energy now!) and people who understand her wariness of anything/anyone. She is an absolute doll that will melt your heart. She takes treats from yiur hands like a sneaky raccoon… slowly and carefully, then runs off to eat them!

Story
Meet Pumpkin! This sweet little lady was surrendered to a shelter with a request for euthanasia, not because she was ready to die, but because her human’s health was failing and there was nowhere else for her to land. Fortunately Pumpkin made her way to us, but she arrived carrying the quiet weight of long-neglected illness. Her eyes were infected and diseased, her mouth ravaged by severe dental disease, and her body fighting bacterial cystitis. Layered over everything else, she received a new diagnosis of diabetes - a condition that demands consistency, monitoring, and care. None of this happened overnight. This is what happens slowly, when medical needs outpace resources, and a small senior dog is left to endure more than she ever should. Despite all of this, Pumpkin is a sweet, tolerant girl who loves snuggles and belly rubs above all else. Well, maybe not above food - she LOVES eating and has a sassy bark she deploys to make sure dinner is served exactly on time and humans dispense the proper amount of treats throughout the day. Even though she's mostly blind, she loves exploring her foster mom's yard and has no problem navigating it. Pumpkin is approximately 12 years old and 5 lbs. More details to come as we get to know her better. Fostered in Severn, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org
