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
Theodore has the kind of big, beautiful eyes that tell the whole story. You can feel his emotions just by looking at him — curiosity, joy, love, and that quiet hope that he’s found his person. He’s a little shy at first, but once he decides you’re safe, that’s it — you’ve got a shadow. Theodore will happily follow you from room to room, just making sure he’s exactly where he belongs. (Spoiler: it’s right next to you.) This boy is an expert-level snuggler with a playful streak and the cutest little bob tail that somehow makes everything he does even more endearing. He’s doing fantastic with crate training and is settling into home life beautifully. Theodore doesn’t need to be the center of attention — he just wants to be close. He’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply, loves quietly, and will make you feel chosen every single day. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with soulful eyes and a heart that loves hard, Theodore is ready to follow you home.  Theodore is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and will be able to join a family on or after 2/4/2026. www.mostlymuttz.org https://facebook.com/mostlymuttz PA Kennel License: 10872 PO Box 406 Gilbertsville, PA 19525 ##2619660##

Story
Simon is a gentle soul with a fun, playful side that really shines alongside his brothers. While he can be a bit reserved at first, his personality blossoms in the best ways. Once he settles in, he’s spunky, loves to play, and is a total expert snuggler when it’s time to relax. Simon also does wonderfully for bath time, taking it all in stride like a champ. Simon is the perfect mix of sweetness and personality, just waiting for a patient, loving home where he can continue to learn all of his puppy basics, gain confidence on his own and show off the amazing little dog he’s becoming. Simon is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and will be able to join a family on or after 2/4/2026. www.mostlymuttz.org Link to Simon’s bio: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2619659&name=Simon Mama Nutella and her adorable litter of “Chipmunks” — Alvin, Simon, and Theodore — just joined us and are settling into their PA foster home. Each boy has his own unique look and personality, and they’re already proving they’re more than ready to be spoiled. Fair warning: with faces this cute, these little guys won’t be available for long, so be sure to get those applications in quickly! #mostlymuttzrescue #thechipmunks #adoptable #adoptme #adoptabledogs #cutestboyever https://facebook.com/mostlymuttz PA Kennel License: 10872 PO Box 406 Gilbertsville, PA 19525 ##2619659##

Story
Ridge is a 6-month-old, 17 lb cutie with the cutest ears you’ve ever seen and a look that’s truly one of a kind. He was saved from Louisiana and has been winning hearts ever since. Believed to be some kind of Rat Terrier mix (though we honestly aren’t quite sure), Ridge has such a cool, unique appearance that he really stands out. Personality-wise, Ridge is just as great as his looks. He’s good with all people and gets along well with other dogs, making him an easy addition to many types of homes. He’s still young and ready to learn, grow, and enjoy all the fun that puppy life brings. Ridge is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He is ready to find his forever family.  Apply at EHRDOGS.ORG and ask for RIDGE LOUISIANA (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.
