Story
Beautiful 9 yr old blue tuxedo Rat Terrier looking for loving new home. She is a small adult dog that may look like a puppy to some. She is very shy but once she is comfortable, she is a joy to be with. She is bubbly and what is nice to watch is when she is having fun sometimes you can catch her doing a very cute helicopter spin. Although she is quiet, she does bark. She is good for an apartment or a home, and she is mainly litter trained like a cat, she also uses pee pads, but not that much. She is good for someone who has the time to spent with her and love her. She is not fixed and may or may not be good with children and other pets. She is not around children and pets until she goes outside and passes by them. Because she is shy, she usually likes to stay close by when she is walked. Bring a small body harness (she never had a collar around her neck), a leash, and a medium dog crate (for her to have room) when you pick her up.

Story
My family is heartbroken about finding me a new home. They want me to be happy and have the life I deserve. They rescued me when someone was selling me at a restaurant. Life was great but a baby came and was a toddler when the second baby followed, and I’m having difficult time with it all. They are working with kitty connection to find me the home I deserve. I am a sweet, loyal 6-year-old mixed breed looking for a calm, loving home where I can truly shine. If you’ve been searching for a devoted companion who loves to cuddle just as much as he enjoys a good game of fetch, I might be your guy. Milo at a glance: • Age: 6 (Birthday: June 14th) • Weight: ~20 lbs • Breed Mix: Rat terrier/chihuahua mix • Neutered: Yes • Vaccines: Up to date • Health: Good overall health • Diet: Fresh Pet, twice daily • Shedding: Minimal • House Trained: Yes Personality: I am an incredibly loving and affectionate — a true velcro dog who wants to be close to my person, especially at night. I have a wonderful medium energy level: happy to play fetch and explore, but equally content to curl up and snooze in a sunny spot. • Loves to snuggle and be near his human • Enjoys fetch and playtime • Listens well and knows “sit” (and mealtime routines!) • Walks well on harness • Is friendly with visitors after the initial hello bark • Can be left home during the day without issue — and is always happy to greet you when you return I can experience anxiety with loud bangs (like fireworks), but calming chews help me through those moments. Ideal home: I have had a harder time adjusting to life with young children and would do best in a calmer environment. Best fit: • Mature home (no apartments or condos) with no children. • No other pets • Someone who wants a close, devoted companion • A home that can give me the one-on-one attention I thrive on I may bark briefly when people arrive and prefer a quieter living environment. The bottom line: I am a deeply loving, snuggly little guy who just wants his person and a peaceful home where I can relax, play, and be adored. In the right environment, I will be an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion.

Story
Best friend Buddy is the total package. He loves people and greets everyone, always eager for attention.   At 12, Buddy ended up in a rural Tennessee shelter. We do not know his backstory or why such a sweet boy would land in a shelter. We may never know.     At Critter Cavalry, we adore seniors and believe they deserve every chance to find a loving home. You won’t regret considering Buddy—he loves everyone, whether human or animal. Buddy is everyone’s best friend.     Buddy is healthy for a senior. He has limited sight and hearing, but is otherwise in good shape. He navigates his foster home easily and enjoys exploring the fenced yard. He comes when called—just use a louder voice.   Buddy is ready to retire with a couple eager to add him to their family. He’d love a fenced yard to explore—size isn’t important—and an active retirement with short walks and car rides. He will be a wonderful addition to a family that matches his lifestyle.   If you want a new best friend, Buddy is perfect for you. To learn more about adopting him, contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or 615-943-7311. Approved application and adoption fee required.    September 23, 2026, 9:35 pm

Story
Meet Zella, Zoey & Zeus! Adoption Fee: $499 Includes transport Adoption Application - Copy & Paste https://forms.gle/FmtRtYxQNnemdkdw9 These three little Rat Terrier mixes are incredibly sweet, friendly pups who love people and get along beautifully with just about everyone. They’re currently in a foster home with dogs, cats and children and have fit right in. They even love curling up in bed with their foster family at night! Zella and Zoey are the girls. They’re about 1 year old and weigh only around 11-15 pounds, so they appear to be full grown. Zeus is the little boy of the group. He’s approximately 10 months old and may still have a little growing to do. Their story is heartbreaking. We received a call about approximately 10 dogs that had apparently been dumped in the middle of nowhere. By the time help arrived, only these three remained. Sadly, the others had reportedly been hit by cars or attacked by animals. One of our team members immediately drove more than an hour to get Zella, Zoey and Zeus to safety and bring them into our rescue. Judging by how comfortable and affectionate they are with people; we believe they were pets at some point. We don’t know where they came from or how they ended up abandoned, but we do know they’ll never have to fend for themselves again. These three little survivors have been through enough. Now they deserve safe, loving homes of their own where they can spend the rest of their lives being loved and spoiled. If you love small-breed dogs and think Zella, Zoey or Zeus could be the perfect addition to your family, please submit an adoption application. We’d love to talk to you about them!
