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.    October 6, 2026, 6:55 pm

Story
Meet Morsel, a gentle young adult whose world hasn’t always been predictable—but who is steadily learning that love, safety, and comfort are real. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Morsel came into foster care frightened, overwhelmed, and unsure of the world around her. Today, she is making remarkable progress. While she still needs an understanding adopter willing to give her time to settle in, she grows more confident every day. She’s learning to trust, discovering the comfort of routine, and beginning to enjoy all the little things that make a house feel like home. Affection is no longer something she shies away from—in fact, she often returns it with sweet little kisses of her own. Because of her past, Morsel can be wary of unfamiliar people and new situations. She does best when introductions are slow and pressure-free, allowing her to observe and decide when she’s ready to engage. Once someone earns her trust, her affectionate, sweet nature shines through, and the bond she forms is incredibly rewarding. Morsel learned to use pee pads in her previous life, but once she feels comfortable in her environment, she is fully potty trained. She is making steady progress with her leash skills in quieter settings where she feels secure and continues to gain confidence with each outing. Morsel is crate trained, though she doesn’t need to be crated, rides nicely in the car, and is becoming more comfortable being picked up when necessary once she trusts her person. While she isn’t ready for a busy, unpredictable lifestyle, patience and consistency help her continue to blossom. She already knows how to sit for treats and loves to play, romp around, and show off her zoomies. Other dogs are truly Morsel’s safe place. She is wonderful with dogs of all sizes, naturally submissive, and must have a confident canine companion in her adoptive home to help guide and reassure her. She looks to other dogs for comfort and confidence, making a canine friend essential to her continued success. Because of her sensitive nature, Morsel would do best in a quieter household. Older, respectful children who understand the importance of giving her space and allowing her to build trust at her own pace would be the best fit. Morsel also has one impressive—and important—talent: she can climb chain-link fencing like a tiny spider woman. Because of this, her adopter will need to take extra precautions to keep her safe as she adjusts to her new home. Since her leash skills are still developing, careful supervision and secure outdoor access are important. Morsel won’t be an instant, outgoing companion—but for the right person, she will be something even more meaningful. She is the kind of dog whose love is earned slowly, quietly, and deeply. The bond you’ll build with her won’t happen overnight, but it will be one of the most rewarding relationships you can imagine. If you believe in patience, in progress, and in the joy of watching a dog discover just how loved she can be, Morsel may be the one you’ve been waiting for. Morsel is fostered in Reading (Berks County), Pennsylvania and is ready to head home. www.mostlymuttz.org Link to Morsel’s bio: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2641184&name=Morsel Morsel is in our Meet Me Program: Dogs featured in our Meet Me Program are participating simply because their foster or a dedicated volunteer is willing and able to take part—this is not based on breed, personality, behavior, or how long a dog has been waiting for a home. Because Mostly Muttz Rescue does not have a physical shelter location, this program allows adopters to connect directly with the people who know each dog best. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about daily life with the dog, and even schedule an individual meet & greet at an approved location—either before applying or while your application is pending. To get started, email meet_me@mostlymuttz.org with your contact information, and the dog’s foster or volunteer will be in touch. #mostlymuttzrescue #adoptabledogs #jrtlove ##2641184##

Story
If you’re looking for a dog who believes personal space is highly overrated, Pierre may be your guy. This sweet boy is 100% a Velcro dog. He enjoys playing and exploring, but he also likes to keep tabs on his person and know exactly where you are. And when playtime is over? Pierre is a fantastic cuddle buddy who is more than happy to settle in close. Pierre has a sweet, gentle way of asking for attention, too. He isn’t a loud or demanding guy—he’ll just give you a little “you know you want to pick me up” whimper when he thinks it’s time for some love. And chances are, he’s right. He is crate trained with a little treat encouragement and is doing really well with house training. He’s also been sweet and respectful around the other dogs he’s met, happily fitting in without needing to be the center of everything. And then there are those ears. We’d like to tell you Pierre will eventually grow into them, but we’re beginning to have our doubts. Somehow, they seem to get bigger every day—and they only add to the ridiculous amount of charm packed into this affectionate little guy. Pierre is playful, loving, cuddly and happiest when he can be close to his people. If you’ve been looking for a little shadow with enormous ears and an equally enormous capacity for affection, Pierre might be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. Pierre is fostered in Gilbertsville (Montgomery County), Pennsylvania and will be able to head home with a family on or after 10/10/2026. www.mostlymuttz.org Link to Pierre’s bio: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2849617&name=Pierre #mostlymuttzrescue #adoptabledogs #adoptme Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2849617##

Story
🐾 Meet the Mini Dumbo Sisters! 🐾 Three sisters. Three tiny bodies. Three HUGE personalities — and ears big enough that we’re worried they might fly away! 😂 Meet Pebbles, Dora, and Trixie, three adorable little girls who are approximately 9–10 weeks old and currently weigh right at 3 lbs each. We don’t expect them to get much bigger than 12 lbs once full grown. A Good Samaritan found these three roaming their property in South Texas, with no mom or dad anywhere in sight. We believe they are Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mixes, and whatever their exact mix may be, one thing is certain: they are absolutely precious. These girls are incredibly sweet and will literally crawl toward you when they get excited. Start baby-talking them and their tiny butts start wiggling with happiness! They’re still figuring out this whole “toys” thing, but they’re learning quickly and starting to discover how much fun they can be. 🩷 Pebbles — Tan & White Pebbles is the shy sister of the bunch. She needs someone willing to give her a little extra patience, love, and encouragement while she builds her confidence. Her favorite place in the world is your lap — it’s where she feels safest. Pebbles would do best in a quieter household, ideally with a confident, friendly dog who can help show her that the world isn’t so scary. Once she feels comfortable, we think this little girl is going to blossom into an incredibly loving companion. 🖤 Dora — Black & White Dora is one of the more social and playful sisters. She loves attention, enjoys being around her people, and is happy to hand out tiny puppy kisses. She’s sweet, silly, and ready to find a family who will let her continue learning and growing into the fun little dog she’s meant to be. 🤍 Trixie — White & Black Trixie is also social, playful, and full of puppy charm. Like Dora, she loves people and is always happy to offer up some puppy kisses. She may be tiny, but she has plenty of personality packed into that little body! 🏡 What kind of homes are they looking for? Dora and Trixie would do wonderfully with gentle children of all ages and in moderately active households. Pebbles would prefer a quieter home where she can take things at her own pace. A confident, friendly dog in the home could be a wonderful role model for her. A few things their future families should know: 🚽 House-trained? We hate to break it to you, but… absolutely not! 😂 They’re only 9–10 weeks old and tiny, so potty training will be a work in progress for their new families. 🏠 Crate fans? Not exactly. These girls would much rather be snuggled up with their humans. 🐕 Big dog barks? They can be nervous when a big dog starts barking, but with patience and positive experiences, we expect them to gain confidence. 🐱 Cats? The cats they've encountered are all bigger than they are, so they haven't had any issues with kitties. 👧 Kids? Dora and Trixie should do well with gentle children of all ages. As with any puppy, supervision and teaching children how to interact respectfully with them will be important. These three may be small but mighty, but don’t let those tiny bodies fool you. They are sweet, playful, friendly, fun little girls who love attention, give kisses, and are ready to become someone's very best friend. Pebbles, Dora, and Trixie are looking for the very best homes where they can grow, learn, and be spoiled like the tiny princesses they are. 👑🐾 And seriously… those ears. We warned you about the flying. 🥹✈️ PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING: The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org These puppies are current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We have mainly adopted only in the Northeast but are expanding to include Midwest and PNW starting in September of 2026 The adoption fee listed ($795) INCLUDES transport from Texas to one or around one of the locations below. Transport goes to or around the following locations every 1, 2 or 3 weeks: Albany, NY - Port Chester, NY area - Anemia, NY Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ - Bordentown, NJ - Egg Harbor City, NJ Emmitsburg, MD - Elkton, MD - Hagerstown, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA Adding new Stops to the PNW: Boise, ID Portland, OR Tumwater, WA – Bothell, WA – Bellingham, WA Missoula, MT – Laurel, MT We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is the best fit for your home.
