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

Story
Meet Shania, our beautiful little comeback girl — and just like her country music namesake, she’s ready for a brand-new chapter filled with love, understanding, and the right environment to truly shine. Shania is a sweet JRT/Westie mix girl who is happy, lively and just 1-year, weighing just 12 pounds. Her look is a charming wiry coat paired with an absolutely darling personality. She enjoys leash walks, watching the world go by, and will happily investigate any squirrel bold enough to cross her path. She’s wonderful with other dogs, cats, and is friendly with men she meets out in public. Inside the home, however, Shania needs a very specific setup to feel safe and secure. Due to something in her past, she becomes protective if a man lives in the home and believes she must guard the woman she loves. Because of this, Shania needs a female-only household with no men living in the home. In the right environment, she relaxes, settles beautifully, and shows just how loving and joyful she truly is. She is currently working on potty training and does well using potty pads, and with continued consistency, she will keep improving. Shania is small, affectionate, and full of potential — she simply needs the right person who understands her and is willing to give her the peaceful, predictable home she deserves.  If you think you could be the perfect match for this special girl, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@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.comDecember 29, 2025, 12:41 am

Story
My name is Piper and I am the cutest little thing. I love everyone. I love to kiss and kiss and kiss. I love to be held. I am playful with people and learning to play with dog toys and other dogs. So far I get along with all dogs but get nervous a bit with large dogs. My rescue was told that I could not walk due to a bump on my back. I was found tied to a bench with a diaper on. After seeing my new vet and arriving at my new foster home, not only can I walk but I can run. I may have a wonky gait but I am getting stronger. Our vet said I most likely have a birth defect where my spine has a strange formation causing the lump on my back. I still need diapers because I cannot control my pee and poop. It just pushes out by itself. The good news is it comes out on its own. In spite of my special needs, I am happy and bouncy and oh so loving. If you can embrace my special needs and my awesome personality, I may be the dog for you. I would love a home with another same sized dog. I will need to have my diapers change but do well with that. I would love a fenced in yard so I know I am safe outside. I would love to go places with you. I ride well in the car. I am just perfect. If you have room in your heart and your arms and lap, please apply for me at safeanimalhaven.orgNovember 5, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Charlene, a 9-year-old, 15 pound, Yorkshire Terrier, possible Brussels Griffon mix, is the definition of a gentle lap dog. Small, sweet, and soulful, she’s happiest curled up in your arms or quietly keeping you company throughout the day. With her expressive eyes and scruffy little face, Charlene has a way of melting hearts without even trying. She is leash-trained, enjoys going for relaxed walks, and rides beautifully in the car. Charlene is also familiar with a crate and does well with it—though she may let you know if she hears you nearby and would rather be soaking up some cuddle time. At this stage in her life, Charlene would truly shine as the only dog in the home, where she can enjoy a calm, predictable environment and be the center of attention. She has done well with cats, making her a great option for a cat-friendly household. Her ideal home is one that appreciates quiet companionship, cozy routines, and the joy of a devoted senior pup. Charlene doesn’t ask for much—just a warm lap, gentle strolls, and someone who will cherish her golden years. If you’re looking for a loving, low-key companion who will happily be by your side, Charlene may be your perfect match. If you are interested in adopting Charlene, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.   **Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. ** December 26, 2025, 10:09 am

Story
Age: 7 years Weight: 6 lbs. Adoption Fee: $300.00 Fostered in Indian Trail, North Carolina Email: yorkiemommync@yahoo.com 6/26/25 - We are still working through Harley's skin issues. Her skin culture showed she has a very resistant staph infection and there is only one antibiotic that will work. It may cause GI issues, but so far it has been ok. She also had an allergy test, and she is allergic to several grasses, trees, mold, dust mites, and storage mites, so things that are all over the place. We are going to try allergy shots, but they will be drops under the tongue instead of a shot. It can take a year to two years to see a difference with the allergy drops. She has stopped throwing up, so the GI medicine she is on is helping that. It is possible she may have GERD, which is why she just throws up without warning or heaving or anything, it just comes right out without any warning. Harley is getting more and more comfortable and her personality is showing more everyday. She can be quite vocal when you are not going fast enough to get her meal done, or at strangers that come over if another dog barks at them. She loves going for rides in the car and does great in her console car seat. She loves laying in the sun like her foster sister Harper. 4/14/25 - Harley came to YHR because her mom was moving and her medical issues were getting to be too much. Harley has some significant skin issues and itching and throws up occasionally. Her skin issues have caused some of her skin to turn black around her eyes, all over her backend, and her back ankles. Because of her itching, she does have to wear a cone occasionally otherwise she scratches until she bleeds. She will be seeing the dogtor this week, so more to come!! Other than her medical issues, she is opening up and is very sweet. She has been fine with all the other pups and has been very patient with her baths.
