Story
For inquiries email christina@compactcaninerescue.org Fee: $500 Location: Chesapeake, VA Meet Sammie! Sammie is a 7 year old, 8 pound, rat terrier mix. He was surrendered by his owner to the rescue because she could no longer care for him due to health issues. Sammie is a little confused but making foster friends and enjoying the fenced yard in his foster home. He even came to foster mom for chin scratches this morning. He has only lived with an older lady. He will need time to warm up to gentlemen. They will need to take it slow. He does take a little bit to trust new people. But his whole world has been turned upside down. We understand he needs time to adjust and we will allow him the time he needs to find the right home for him. A quiet home with consistent care and a fenced yard will suit him best. He LOVES being outside. Sammie has been neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested and brought up to date on the required vaccines. He is ready to be adopted in the next week after he heals. Hes a sweet little guy!

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.    July 3, 2026, 5:01 pm
