Story
Kirk may be small at just 6 pounds, but his journey has been anything but easy. This handsome, fluffy Papillon/Chihuahua mix is around 1–2 years old and is learning what it means to live a life filled with safety, affection, and choice — things he never had before.  Kirk was rescued from an extreme hoarding and breeding situation where over 140 dogs were living without proper care or socialization. Because of this, he entered foster care fearful and unsure of human touch. Trust did not come easily — but love has been changing everything. In his foster home, Kirk has begun to soften. With patience and consistency, he is discovering that laps are for cuddling, voices can be gentle, and attention can be something to enjoy rather than fear. He now seeks out affection and loves being close to his people, especially when he feels secure. Kirk is still on a confidence-building journey. He will benefit from daily walks, positive reinforcement, and a calm environment where he can continue learning at his own pace. A fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus, and a home with older children or adults who understand his sensitive nature would be ideal. He is crate trained and continuing to improve with house training. Kirk is not a finished story — he is the beginning of one. A story of resilience, healing, and a dog finally becoming who he was always meant to be. If you have the patience to earn his trust (it won't take long) and the heart to love him through his transformation, Kirk will repay you with loyalty, devotion, and the quiet joy of watching a once-frightened dog flourish. Please contact 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.February 1, 2026, 12:09 pm

Story
Meet Benny!We were told he was a 1 year old maltese and we definitely were not expecting a dog looking like him to show up! Supposedly he's maltese mixed with some chihuahua, but there's definitely a bigger heavier breed in there- maybe some pom, corgi, papillon, and/or shih tzu?! He's 18lbs full grown, long with short legs and a stocky body. His elderly owner had a stroke and couldn't care for him any longer. He was not taken outside regularly so has a lot of pent up puppy energy and loves to do zoomies, a fun active little guy. He will need some work on housebreaking and was using wee wee pads mostly. He's been neutered and had his cherry eyes repaired with surgery, and is recovering nicely and ready for a home. Please submit an application to meet Benny! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 18.375 Age: 1yrs 0mths 3wks
