Story
Meet PeeWee: Small Dog, Big Rules 🐾 At just 10 lbs, 4.5-year-old Yorkie mix PeeWee is living proof that dynamite comes in small packages… and occasionally explodes if you don’t respect personal space. Small, scrappy, and selective. I’m basically the bouncer at the club of my own affection, if you’re on the list, you get VIP cuddles. If you’re not? Keep your hands to yourself, Karen. Here’s the deal: PeeWee is adorable, but he’s not that random-friendly-pet-me-at-PetSmart kind of adorable. If you try to touch him without an invitation, he’s happy to give you a quick reminder that he did not consent. Once you’re in his trusted circle, though? Boom—you’re his ride-or-die. He’ll be your shadow, your lap warmer, your TV-watching buddy, and possibly your therapist if you pay him in treats. PeeWee has a very specific roommate policy: no other pets, no exceptions. He’s the leading man in his own sitcom, and there’s no room for sidekicks stealing the spotlight. If you’re looking for a pint-sized companion with a huge personality, a selective guest list, and a serious commitment to his people, PeeWee is ready to sign the adoption papers, once he decides you’re worthy.

Story
📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. 🩷 Rescue Story Ongal was admitted to "Jeongeup City Shelter" in very poor condition, with her coat badly matted and tangled. She spent her days clinging to the shelter environment, clearly overwhelmed. Thankfully, she was rescued before things worsened and moved into a foster home, where she has been able to recover both physically and emotionally. In a safe setting, her bright and lively personality has begun to shine. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Ongal gets along well with other dogs and is currently living harmoniously with a Pomeranian and a Pomeranian mix. She enjoys canine companionship and would do well in a multi-dog household, especially with dogs of similar size or age. With people, she needs only a brief moment to warm up—after about ten seconds of observation, one treat is usually all it takes for her to become friendly and engaged. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Ongal may pull slightly on the leash at first, but her walking is easily manageable and improves quickly once boundaries are clearly communicated. She responds well to guidance and understands verbal cues. Her shedding level is moderate, around 5 out of 10. She has no food allergies and eats very well. She strongly prefers outdoor potty breaks and will often hold her bathroom needs if she doesn’t get a walk. 🏡 Habits & Training Ongal is comfortable with grooming and does well during baths and professional grooming sessions. She does not have separation anxiety and is crate trained, staying calm and relaxed even when separated in her own space. She may bark briefly when deliveries arrive, but she settles down quickly afterward. She rides well in the car and does not experience motion sickness. 💛 Likes & Personality Ongal loves tug-of-war games and enjoys running and playing with her dog friends. She does not like sudden approaches, so calm and gentle introductions are best. A home with other dogs of similar size or age would be a great match for her. She is currently living in a foster home. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
  &#226&#156&#168 Momma Ruby is ready to be someone’s baby now &#226&#156&#168 Ruby is a precious 7-pound Yorkie/Chihuahua  sweetheart, under 2 years old, who has already done one of the hardest jobs there is — raising six puppies. Now that her mom duties are over, this tiny girl is discovering how fun, playful, and cozy life can be. Ruby is gentle, affectionate, and deeply loving once she feels secure. She adores cuddling, happily curls up in laps, loves her donut bed, and makes a beeline under the covers at bedtime for snuggles by your leg. As her confidence grows, she shows off her playful side with joyful zoomies and silly ball games — watching her play is pure happiness. She walks well on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is nearly house-trained, using both outdoor potty breaks and pee pads with ease. Ruby is also great with cats and enjoys trying to play with her feline foster siblings. Ruby thrives with companionship and would do best in a home with a confident small dog to help guide her and ease her anxiety when left alone. A calm, patient person or couple — especially someone who works from home or is retired — would be ideal to help her continue building confidence at her own pace. Her foster home is gently introducing her to the world with frequent outings, and while Ruby may be a little shaky at first, she’s improving all the time. Once she trusts you, her heart opens completely, revealing a funny, playful, loving little dog who wants nothing more than to be close. Ruby has a long, bright future ahead, and we are committed to finding her a forever family who will love her for all of it. If you’re ready to help a shy little diamond blossom, Ruby is waiting. Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com for more information.       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.comDecember 29, 2025, 12:41 am
