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.

Despite her rough past, Bitsy still has so much love to give. This sweet senior deserves a retirement filled with love, security, and the quiet joy of belonging.

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.

Story
  Meet Elijah, a tiny teacup Yorkie with a soul far bigger than his 4-pound frame. Born on October 19, 2021, this silky-soft little boy is the definition of delicate sweetness. Elijah has spent much of his young life quietly waiting—waiting for lap time, gentle words, and the kind of love that makes a dog feel truly seen.   Though once deeply cherished, life circumstances changed for his owner, and long days crated with little attention became Elijah’s reality. With love in their heart, his owner made the selfless decision to release him to Critter Cavalry, so Elijah could finally find the attentive, devoted home he deserves.   Elijah is shy, tender, and incredibly gentle—a sweet little shadow who blossoms with kindness. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, is pee-pad trained, and would do beautifully in a home where someone can continue his training with a consistent outdoor schedule. What Elijah wants most is simple: love, routine, and a warm lap to call his own.   As he hopes to start the new year off on the right paw, Elijah is dreaming of a forever home where he’ll never feel overlooked again. Could that be you—the person who gives him the affection, security, and quiet companionship he’s been waiting for?   Elijah is currently in Nashville, TN. Transport is available on January 9th to the northeastern states.Please contact 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.comDecember 31, 2025, 5:49 pm

Story
Introducing Zach! 💛 Zach is a 9-year-old Yorkie with the sweetest little soul and a face that could melt anyone on sight. This handsome guy lives for snuggles — if you pick him up, he’ll happily stay in your arms as long as you’ll let him. He currently weighs around 10lbs and would benefit from losing 3–4lbs to get to his healthiest self. He’s a little chunky, but that just adds to his teddy-bear charm right now. 🧸 Zach is funny, playful, and has the cutest personality — he’ll even give a tiny bark to politely let you know he’d like to be held. He’s friendly with kids, cats, and other dogs, making him a great fit for just about any loving home. He is potty-pad trained, knows to go outside, neutered, UTD on vaccinations, and ready for his forever family. If you’re looking for a gentle senior sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be your little shadow, Zach is your boy. 🐾💙 RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted.

It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog.
