Story
Angus is the sweetest dog possible. He loves everyone. Angus acts much younger than his 15 years old. I have to find a place for Angus because I am moving to Kenya, Africa. Angus was purchased from a kid that bred Cairn Terriers as a 4-H project when Angus was a pup. He was purchased by my wife who died 3 years ago from dementia. Angus wants to go see every dog and child he sees when being walked, but he wants to lick them in their faces or jumps around too much. He has been taught to almost not bark. He can hold peeing for up to 12 hours although that has not been tested recently. Cairn Terriers are known for eye issues, therefore, Angus has lost some sight. Sight is being maintained by putting 2 different drops twice a day in each eye.

Story
Tyrion is an amazing old man who can sometimes be cantankerous. He has been my beloved pet for almost 12 years. My boyfriend is allergic to him and I can no longer provide him with the life he deserves. He has grown up with my 7 year old, but doesn't do well with children who are inexperienced or extremely handsy with dogs. He would do better with someone who will play constant fetch with him and who either has older kids or no kids. He does okay with most dogs, but does let them know when he wants to be left alone. He loves to play fetch and cuddle. He turns 12 on June 11. I would love for him to find a loving family who can be patient with him and help him live out the rest of his life in a happy, warm, and loving home.

Story
  This darling little 17 pound 2 year old girl is called Happy Heidi and she has a little mixture of what we call…..”adorable” genetics.  Maybe a little Jack Russell and a little Cairn Terrier?   Whatever it is we know that you will be delighted to bring this girl home to your family life any way you look at it.  She is good with other dogs, no matter how big and we have not seen her with cats.  She is working on her housebreaking and crate training.   She is not a dog for an apartment as she will bark if left in a crate for hours on end.  She is a busy girl that loves to be outside running her foster home’s fenced yard.  She is a cuddler and loving girl that will be someone’s shadow and adoring companion.  She is pretty good on a leash but could use some polishing.    She was found as a stray and would love to have someone home more than away for a 9 hour work day.  This little girl is pure gold and a joy to have around.  If you are interested in adopting or knowing more, 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.comMarch 24, 2025, 5:27 pm
