Story
A friend gave her to me; I don't know much about the ginger, but I've had her at home for a year, and she is afraid to go outside. She is very playful with children, but she barks a lot when she sees strangers. Unfortunately, she can no longer stay with us because my mom is allergic to pet fur.

Story
Hi, my name is Gigi! I’m a beautiful white-and-fawn wirehaired terrier, 5 years old and weighing 20 lbs. I’m a sweet girl who gets along with everyone. I’m currently being fostered with several small dogs, a couple of big ones, and some resident cats—we all get along great!   I love to run and play with everyone—we always have the best time together! A fenced yard is a must for me because I truly enjoy being outside. As an active young lady, I’d thrive in a fun, energetic family, especially with a doggie companion to share adventures.   I’m also a smart girl who learns quickly and would enjoy the challenge of picking up new tricks. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to join your family, look no further!   To learn more about Gigi and adopting her, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311.  Approved application and adoption fee required.July 16, 2026, 8:58 pm

Story
  Meet River Gucci, a charming 3 year old Shih Tzu male that recently had been living with a disabled man who had no car and very limited funds that did not include grooming dollars nor really food and vetting for this sweet boy.  His owner loved him and realized that River Gucci deserved a more stable and financially secure home to care for him.  We have found this perfect little guy to be a totally perfect boy that loves to be held like a baby and falls asleep in your arms as you rub his tummy.  Charming is a wonderfully accurate and descriptive word to describe River Gucci.  At just 11 lbs this Shih Tzu boy was handed over to Critter Cavalry with mats and a need for a total grooming shave down. In no time he will be a long haired luxurious gentleman that will prance and dance his way into everyone's heart.  He is resilient and pretty much housebroken and delights in being around his foster mom and all her little dogs.  He is not afraid of large dogs either.  What a brave and secure little guy he is!  Personality & Traits:  - Temperament: Sweet, calm, and very affectionate]  - Socialization: Gets along well with other dogs and enjoys the company of people]  - Energy Level: Low to moderate; enjoys short walks and plenty of lap time]  - Training: is under evaluation. Appears House-trained. Leash and basic commands not yet evaluated.Ideal Home:River Gucci would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of attention and cozy spots to nap. He has perfect manners when meeting new humans and dogs.  He’s looking for a family that understands the grooming needs of a Shih Tzu and is committed to keeping him healthy and happy.  Ideally, he’ll have a playmate in the home or neighborhood.If you are interested in learning more about River Gucci 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.comJuly 16, 2026, 8:58 pm
