Story
How cute can you get? Well, not everyone is as adorable as this little boy is! Vance is a 4-month-old mix of Feist and Rat Terrier. Haven’t heard of a Feist? They were bred for hunting and have become wonderful companion dogs! He presently weighs about 10 pounds and will mature to under 20 pounds. A little fella, huh? He’s big on personality, though. He’s great with other dogs, kids and his foster’s cat. Truly a fine little boy!

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 16, 2026, 3:05 pm

Story
LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY. Peabody is a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix (we think). He was pulled into our rescue from an over-crowded, rural, KY shelter because he was not tolerating the environment well and was shut down. He was terrified when first arriving at his fosters home. It took time…but not much. We have video evidence that he is a Velcro mix. He likes dogs about his size, but gets passive-aggressive with bigger dogs. Meaning he runs his mouth. He would have no problem with another, playful dog or being the one-and-only. He likes to watch TV on the couch, beside you, with his eyes closed. He will be the big spoon every night and knows how to fit perfectly into the small of your back. Peabody will likely need the expected 3 days to decompress in a new environment. But once he has stopped fretting, he’ll be melting like butter in your lap. We think Peabody needs to find that doesn’t require transport, so applications must be local to TN. I need to be adopted in Crossville, Tennessee. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. Peabody's adoption fee is $300.If transport is needed, there are additional fees to cover department of agriculture requirements and transport, the additional fee adds $300 to the adoption fee (any location out of Tennessee, East Coast, Great Lakes or New England regions)Thank You for Your Interest in Adopting a Canine Companion from Foccas-tn.org!To Apply Please Copy and Paste to your browser:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=hb2428&method=online_form_html&formid=41

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Female, Adult
Poolesville, MD
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Raya is a charming 5-year-old, 10 lb. rat terrier and Chihuahua mix with a big personality and a resilient spirit. While she carries a few old scars from a past we'll never know, her sweet heart is fully focused on the future.  Raya is a vocal, schedule-loving girl who will endearingly let you know when it's time for meals or activities. Out on walks, she can be a bit barky when passing people or dogs, but she is highly treat-motivated and easily redirected with a tasty snack. When introduced to a resident cat, she showed no interest, so she could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat. Because of a history of painful bowel movements, Raya is currently on a low dose of prednisone (about $10/month). She is doing very well on the medication and has a routine follow-up appointment scheduled to determine whether any ongoing treatment will be needed. Raya loves to be the center of your universe and prefers to have her space respected, so she will thrive best as the only pet in an adult-only home with no other dogs where she can soak up all the love and attention without having to share her humans. She needs a patient, loving adopter who appreciates her routine-driven nature and can offer a predictable, devoted environment. You can see more photos of Raya in her online album at ImageEvent.com/newrattitude/ raya.  If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info.October 14, 2026, 5:26 am
