Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there! I’m Ollie, and I’m looking for my Best Friend! Hi! I’m Ollie. I’m 6 months old and weigh about 26 lbs, which my foster says is the perfect size for "medium-sized" snuggles. I’m mostly done growing, but I still have plenty of room in my heart for you! I might look like a regular puppy, but I’ve actually got a secret: my nose is shaped like a heart! I think it’s because I’m made of 100% pure sweetness. Why I’m the Goodest Boy: I’m a Cuddle Professional: While other puppies are busy being "spunky" and running in circles, I’d much rather be right by your side. I’m very affectionate and my favorite place in the world is wherever you are. I’m a Star Student: I’m already crate trained! I know that my crate is a safe spot for naps, and I’m very patient when I’m in there. I’m Healthy & Ready: I’m all caught up on my vaccinations and have had all my age-appropriate vetting. I even have a microchip, so if I ever get lost, I can find my way back to you! My Wish List: I’m looking for a family who likes belly rubs, gentle ear scratches, and cozy evenings. I promise to be your most loyal companion and to greet you every day with a wagging tail and a heart-shaped boop. Do you have a spot on your couch (and in your heart) for me? submit an application at https://www.arrfnc.com/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Hi. I am new to the rescue. My foster mom will update when she learns more about me.For more information and to submit an application, got to www.arrfnc.com. Thanks!February 5, 2026, 8:02 pm

Story
**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION!!** 1-29-26::"Hello everyone, my name is LIL BIT and it fits me so well! I am a little bit of a doggie, weighing in at just 11 pounds, and I am full of sass and attitude! But that's not such a bad thing, AND I do need an owner who will understand that I am not a perfect dog--yet. Allow me to explain: I came to this great rescue with 2 of my housemates, after we were found abandoned on the streets, fending for ourselves. A nice Animal Control Officer came and rescued us, but while my 2 housemates were fine with everyone at the shelter, I was a little harder of a nut to crack. The shelter asked my Mom if she would consider taking all of us, and she didn't hesitate one minute, so here I am! Now, it was a little rough going for the first few weeks--I had to be picked up with a towel, but once picked up I was OK and will cuddle, but don't try picking me up without that towel! My Mom worked so hard and slowly with me, to show me that she wasn't so bad, and BINGO, it paid off--I can now be picked up without the towel, and no snapping!! I just need my potential adopter to know, that I will need that extra time to adjust, and to please allow me that time and not give up on me! I am good for my grooming, with the occasional nip, but I mean no harm. Mom says that I am about 3 years old, am spayed, chipped, current on my vaccines, heartworm negative, along with house/crate/leash trained. I do need a home with no small children, and I am good with other dogs, but cats I don't know" "Do I sound like a girl you'd like to have in your life, and have the patience to work with me a few weeks till I adjust, not give up on me right away? I promise I am worth the wait! If interested, email my Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com for an application or any questions you may have about me. PLEASE DO NOT call the number on here, email, as emails are constantly monitored! My adoption fee is $300.00 to cover all my current vetting" "Till we meet" Love, LIL BIT **GOOD VERIFIABLE VET REFERENCE REQUIRED**

Jollie

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Female, Puppy
Charlotte, NC
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Name: Jollie Estimated Birthday: 8/30/2025 Breed: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Adoption Fee: $365 Jollie is a 14-week-old Chihuahua mix with a sweet heart, a playful spirit, and the sweetest puppy curiosity. She’s currently about 5 lbs and is expected to be around 18 lbs when fully grown. Jollie was found as a puppy, and she’s been settling into foster life with all the classic puppy charm. Jollie is an active, playful pup who loves toys. She is also friendly—though she can be a little timid at first. She warms up quickly and is truly a loving little girl once she feels safe. Like most puppies, she’s still learning her manners and routines and will need continued training (potty training, leash skills, and basic commands). She is working on potty training and is already learning how to tell humans she needs to go—when she starts making little circles, it’s her cue that it’s potty time. She’s already doing well with her crate routine and sleeps in her crate each night. She has been friendly with other dogs and has shown no signs of food/toy aggression. She is a gentle puppy who just needs a little confidence-building and consistency. If you’re looking for a loving, toy-obsessed, slightly shy-at-first puppy who will blossom quickly in a forever home, come meet Jollie! Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

Name: Hollie Estimated Birthday: 8/30/2025 Breed: Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Adoption Fee: $365 Meet Hollie! She is a 14-week-old Rat Terrier mix with a big personality in a tiny package! She’s currently about 5 lbs and is expected to be around 18 lbs when fully grown. Hollie was found as a puppy and has jumped right into foster life with that classic happy, bouncy puppy energy. Hollie is active, playful, and very friendly, and she warms up quickly to new people. She’s also been friendly with other dogs. Like any young pup, she’s still learning the ropes—training is a work in progress, and she will thrive with a family ready to keep up with puppy basics (potty training, leash skills, manners, and lots of positive reinforcement). She is crate-trained and sleeps in her crate each night. Hollie will be an awesome fit for a human (or family!) who’s excited to help a smart, energetic puppy learn and grow. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic little sidekick, Hollie is ready to meet you!

DANICA

Rat Terrier

Female, Young
Charlotte, NC
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
