Story
Let me introduce the playful energetic Cuddles. She is a poodle and shitzu mix. I adopted her from the aspca in 2015. Cuddles is now 10 but still acts like a puppy 🤗. She got her name because she loves to be cuddled and jumps on you to getsome love. She gets very excited to see you when you come home. I have another dog in the home, and my husband recently had a stroke. At this time, I am just not able to give Cuddles the attention that she needs and keep up the bills and two dogs. Cuddles love children and has gotten a long with a cat previously in the past. I am seeking anyone who can give my cuddles attention and a loving home. I am in an apartment and Cuddles can be a bit barky when hearing people walking pass by the door. She is up to date on her Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP. She has also recieved a shot for allergies. If you need company or your children would like to spread their love to Cuddles please reach out. Looking for a family to have not only fun but love on her💕.

Story
Gizmo and Widget are ready for their forever home! When these cute, friendly, little Shih-Tzu arrived they had been shaved down by the shelter due to a flea infestation, and they had kennel cough. So they had a rough start, but were troopers through it all. They have been nothing but sweet, friendly, lovable little snuggle bugs. They finally are feeling great, their hair is growing back and they are ready to find a home. We think Gizmo (white) is 6 and Widget (black) is 7 years old. They came in together and do LOVE to play together so we do want to keep them together. We know it won't be easy finding someone looking for two dogs, but we hope the right family is out there. They are doing very well in their foster home. Still working on potty training but making good progress. They don't pee in the house during the day and at night they are wearing belly bands but they have been dry for the last week or so. They play together and enjoy each other's company. They get along with other dogs well and walk on a leash very well. They seem to like their walks. They have also discovered toys and will take them all out of the box and play with every toy. They are neutered, UTD on shots, microchipped and negative for heartworms. We hope someone out there is willing to open their home to two sweet boys. For an application go to www.homesfurhounds.org They are located in Williamsburg, Va.

These pups are in Norfolk, Virginia too!

Story
  Some dogs just have a way of reaching right into your heart, and Vanna is one of them. She’s a soft, scruffy little doodle mix with warm eyes and a gentle nature that makes you feel like she’s known you forever. Her life started in hardship, born out in the woods to a doodle mix mama dog owned by a homeless man who simply couldn’t give the puppies a future indoors.   At only 8 at the time weeks old, Vanna and her sister were rescued by a kind young woman who brought them home and loved them dearly for the last ten months. Unfortunately, life circumstances changed and she bravely chose what was best for Vanna rather than holding on when she could no longer afford the vet care and stability Vanna needs. Now Critter Cavalry Rescue will finish everything to prepare her for a bright new chapter — spay, vaccines, heartworm test, and microchip.   Vanna weighs 26 pounds and has that soft, fluffy coat that will absolutely glow with a little grooming. She’s happiest when she’s with other dogs and really doesn’t do well spending long days crated and alone. She wants activity, companionship, and people who include her in daily life.   Leash skills are still new to her, but she’s bright and willing, and she’ll blossom quickly with gentle guidance. A fenced yard or daily off-leash playtime is a must for this girl. She loves to stretch her legs and run, and while she will stay close, her recall comes from trust and bonding, which she gives wholeheartedly once she feels safe.   Vanna is loving, affectionate, and full of gratitude for every bit of kindness she’s ever been shown. Her previous mom saved her life — now we want to find the family who will cherish it forever.   Think you might be the one for Vanna? Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.comJanuary 20, 2026, 9:56 pm
