Story
Meet Moses! He's a 35 pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier Mix and is about 6 years old. I adopted him from a rescue organization about 2 years ago. For health reasons, I've made the difficult decision to rehome Moses. Once he gets to know you, Moses is such a sweet, cuddly, protective, loyal lap dog and loves to play and burrow under blankets. He has a lot of energy and loves being outside. I live in the city. I think he would do best in the suburbs or somewhere rural, with a fenced in yard to run around. Make Moses yours!

Story
Tina is a lovely little dog that found her way into our household by way of a roadside rescue. We found her running along a busy intersection and caught her, expecting to find her family in a day or two. After a couple of weeks of posting signs around the neighborhood and posting online, we had no luck in finding the family and, as it turns out, she was not house trained, leash trained or spayed. It seems that she was a stray and we were now her fosters. She was easy enough to keep around and got along with our other two dogs really well so she made herself home at home for a few months. During this time we house trained her, got her shots up-to-date, and recently had her spayed. Shes a lot of fun. Plays with our dogs and loves kids. She would be a great addition to any family. The adoption fee is flexible, a pay what you can fee. We are just looking to share some of the costs that we put into getting her ready for adoption, especially the spay surgery and vaccines.

Story
  Danica is a small little Toy Fox Terrier with a tender heart and a deep desire to feel safe again. This 2 year old girl who weighs just 9 pounds, was found running scared and lost through a rough neighborhood in rural Tennessee and when no one came forward to claim her, it became clear she was meant to start a new chapter—one where security and love are a given, not a question.    She is the definition of a Velcro baby. Danica wants to be right beside her person, soaking up every moment of closeness she can get. Your lap, your side, the spot right at your feet—that’s where she’s happiest. She does well with cats and seems comfortable around other dogs, but her true favorite will always be her human. Danica is incredibly sweet, a little clingy, and completely honest about her need for reassurance. After the trauma of being lost and the abandonment she’s experienced, who could blame her? She is fully potty trained and thrives when she can form a strong bond with someone who enjoys snuggles, quiet companionship, and being deeply loved. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will choose you every single time, Danica is ready to give her whole heart to the person who gives her a safe place to land.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Let us know where you live, city and state.  This girl is going to make someone so very happy and loved.       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.comJanuary 30, 2026, 7:07 pm

Story
Meet Tina! She is a 1 year old rat terrier/heeler mix rescued with her mom, sister and younger siblings after being dumped in a bad area of town.

The bigger dogs make her a little nervous. She is working on leash walking, potty training and crate training. She is currently 23 lbs with long legs. She is just a sweet girl looking for love and a place to lounge around! Tammy is available for adoption with Saving Grace Dog Rescue of San Antonio. The adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport. An adoption application and adoption contract are all required.

We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
