Story
Meet Morsel, a gentle young adult whose world hasn’t always been kind. She came from a severe hoarding case, and because of that, she’s still learning that people, homes, and love can be safe. Morsel is very shy and skittish, and she needs time to observe, breathe, and decide she trusts you — but when she does, it’s incredibly special. Morsel is searching for a truly patient, understanding adopter, ideally someone with experience with timid or fearful dogs. She won’t be your instant best friend, but she has so much potential waiting just beneath the surface. With consistency, calm reassurance, and zero pressure, she can continue to blossom. Other dogs are her comfort zone. Morsel is wonderful with dogs of all sizes, naturally submissive, and must have another dog in the home to help her feel safe and confident. A canine companion is not just a preference for her — it’s a necessity. Because she’s sensitive, Morsel would do best in a quieter household. Children should be older and respectful, able to understand that love sometimes means giving space and letting trust grow slowly. Morsel has a spay appointment scheduled for 3/24/2026 in the Reading, PA area. If you believe in second chances, quiet victories, and the beauty of earning a dog’s trust day by day, Morsel may be the soul you’ve been waiting for. Sometimes the most rewarding love is the one you have to grow together.   Available 2/7/26 Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2641184##

Story
There’s something so special about Shania — something that can’t quite be captured in a photo. At just 9 months old and 12 pounds, this Parsons Terrier/Westie mix has already been through more than most dogs her age, yet she radiates quiet hope and sweetness. When you first meet her, she may hang back a little, unsure of what to expect. But once she realizes you’re kind, she softens — her tail gives a shy wag, and her eyes begin to sparkle. You can almost see her heart opening up as she learns to trust. That’s Shania’s magic — she doesn’t just love; she chooses you, one gentle moment at a time. Shania loves other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can have a friendly canine companion or calm human friends to help her continue to blossom. She’d do best with older children or adults, as younger ones have been unkind to her in the past. She deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She’s fully vetted, spayed, and ready to begin her new life — one filled with kindness, stability, and love. Shania’s foster family says everyone who meets her is captivated by her tender personality and soulful spirit. This little treasure is ready to start fresh and discover what it feels like to be truly loved. If you can give her that gift, she’ll return it tenfold.Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Shania. She’s in Tennessee and can travel north on one of our weekend transports. 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.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
  This darling little Jack Russell boy is a young 18 month male that weighs 20 pounds and is a solid little love of a dog.  His name is Puppa-Doo and he is an owner surrender that we are seeing far too many of lately.   Who doesn't love a bright and happy to be alive Terrier pup that dances when you come home from a long day at the job.  Puppa-Doo is great family dog just waiting to fit right in when you invite him to come home with you!!!   He is housebroken and will go to door to alert you when he needs to go out. That is a huge plus in most family's check list.  He loves to chase the cat for sport and fun and he will of course do a record demolition destuffing of any weak plush toy.  Oh, how he loves to do that.  And then to keep him responding to sounds, a squeaky toy just makes his soul delight and sore to rapid panting and smiles.  He gets super excited when you play throw the squeaky toy. Puppy-Doo also will play fetch and chase if you want and that is perfect for young children who want a playful dog in their life.  At the end of the day and lots playtime, he likes to give kisses and lay on your lap. . He's a door greeter-both inside the house and when a car pulls up.  He adores love and attention and likes to sit and watch TV when you are there watching it with him. . And if you want a bed buddy then please let him crawl right up there next to you i   He is a great protector and will alert you like a doorbell would and barks when he hears a car on the gravel driveway.  All great and normal dog responsibilities that you want in your family lover and protector. And when someone shows up to visit at the house he runs circles around the outside of the house which is her own personal canine racetrack.  He is active like a JRT should be.  He is made that way.  Crate trained and housebroken and good with other dogs and kids and adults.  What more do you want in a dog and for your lifestyle.   A physically fenced yard or invisible fence would be good to have for this boy.  Safety for your family pet is so important.  If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com        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.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
Introducing River… our long, lean, goofy 15 lb dreamboat! Meet River, approximately 2 years old and 100% certified silly boy. He’s got that stretch-limousine body (you know the kind—long enough to need its own zip code ) and a playful personality to match. River is the kind of dog who thinks everyone is his friend… because, honestly, everyone is his friend. River’s story started on River Road, where he was sadly dumped and spent about a week running loose. For his safety, we had to humanely trap him, and we are so incredibly grateful that we were able to bring him to safety. Now that River is safe, loved, and thriving, he’s officially on the hunt for his forever home River comes fully loaded with perks: Heartworm negative Neutered Microchipped Current on vaccines & preventions AND he comes with a GeoTag — because even his adventures deserve extra protection. If you’re looking for a happy, goofy, loving companion with a long body and an even bigger heart, River might just be your guy. ##2621432##
