Story
10 yr old Jerry dumped at a crowded shelter with little hope of getting out. Luckily the director of another shelter knows I’m a sucker for Chihuahuas and sent his picture. She pulled him and got him cleaned up this little 4 pounder is now the shelter favorite. Not a sweeter dog alive. He is fostered in Dresden. Adoption is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com

Story
  &#226&#156&#168 Meet Toby: A Tiny Gentleman with a Big Heart &#226&#156&#168  so just imagine a 10-pound ball of sunshine with semi-long golden fur, a constantly wagging tail, and a personality that sparkles brighter than your morning sunrise, but wakes you up better than your first cup of coffee.  That’s our boy Toby — a 6–7-year-old Chihuahua who has officially stolen every heart he’s met.   Toby is, quite simply, perfection in a pint-sized package. He loves everyone — other dogs, cats, and even children (yes, even kids — which is rare for a Chihuahua!). He's spunky, social, and packed with happy energy, but when it’s time to wind down? He’s a world-class cuddler with kisses to spare. Toby was heartbreakingly surrendered to Critter Cavalry Rescue due to his owner’s declining health. We promised his person that Toby would find a new home filled with love and security — the last home he’ll ever need.  Toby’s Greatest Hits: &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Gets along great with dogs and cats&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Loves car rides, snuggles, and sneaky kisses&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Crate trained, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to roll&#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 10 pounds of love, laughter, and loyalty This sweet boy is a perfect mix of playful and affectionate. He’ll bring warmth, fun, and heart to any home lucky enough to have him.  Ready to meet Toby?Text us at 615-661-5333 Or email: ccrtennessee@gmail.com  About Critter Cavalry Rescue:We’re a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to saving high-risk, homeless animals.

Story
Nova is an adorable 2-year-old chihuahua mix weighing 16 pounds, and she’s overflowing with love and affection. Surrendered by her previous owner, it’s clear Nova was cherished—she craves closeness and wants nothing more than to be with her people at all times. If you’re sitting down, expect Nova to be right in your lap or snuggled by your side. She’s great with kids, other dogs, and even cats, making her a perfect fit for many types of families. Nova is still working on her potty training, but she’s making steady progress with consistency and patience. This sweet little girl is looking for a home where she can continue to feel safe, loved, and close to her humans. If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy with a heart full of love, Nova is ready to make your house feel like home. She is fostered in Eddington. Adoption fee is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com

Story
Millie a 3.5-year-old Chihuahua mix is looking for her forever home. She was surrendered due to her owners losing their home. Millie is a very sweet girl just looking to be loved and snuggle with her person. Millie is great with dogs and loves to play with others in the house, pays no attention to the cat, and great with kids. Millie is working on housetraining. Millie nervous/scared pees when you try to pick her up. I believe with time she will get used to being picked up and not pee. She also does fine with a dog diaper while she learns to not be scared. Millie is fostered in Brunswick. Adoption fee is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com

Story
Cocoa Puff is a beautiful chocolate colored Chihuahua mix who weighs 8.6 lbs and is about 3.5 years old. Cocoa Puff was bought from a lady when she was only about 8-9 weeks old. The good Samaritan who heard about her, found out the lady only wanted to breed her, so stepped in and was able to get Cocoa. Cocoa has been in a safe and wonderful home for the past few years. Unfortunately, the current owner can no longer care for Cocoa Puff. Cocoa has been raised in a very loving, nurturing and wonderful home. The owner’s intention was never to keep her, but to find her a home, as the owner had her own dogs to care for. The right owner/home never came forth; therefore, she kept her. Cocoa Puff is an owner surrender, and we promised we would find her the best home. Here is what the previous owner has said: *House Trained *Not too impressed with a crate *LOVES ALL AGE CHILDREN *LOVES all dogs *Very active and playful *Never been exposed to cats as owner is allergic, so unsure *Loves to climb into furniture *Loves to climb high ON furniture (haha) – Owner said even bookshelves, DAREDEVIL! *She will do her best to poop in your neighbors yard if there is a chain link fence *Doesn’t like rules too much, quite DEFIANT (what a chihuahua!) *Rules the roost, other dogs follow her *Kids in the current home are 4 and 6 years old, no issues *She is more active than a cuddler but when she’s tired she will cuddle *Cocoa LOVES car rides, especially in her high carseat so she can see out of the windows *She sleeps everywhere and anywhere she is comfortable Cocoa Puff needs an active home, where she can get plenty of exercise, training and consistency. Other dogs and/or children are PREFERRED. Cocoa is spayed, heart worm negative, current on vaccinations, preventions, and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption.

Story
Anna  Banana is our little neglected Puggle that came to us in emotional and physical distress.  Three months later this girl is thriving and has had a dental, bloodwork, her hernia repaired and love.  An abundance of love and patience that has brought out her sassy personality and her total confidence and desire to rule her home.  She was a dog that was confiscated from a neglectful home.  Taken to a  Tennessee shelter as a 14 pound, 9 year old senior, she stood no chance of leaving there alive.  All her medical challenges were corrected and she is a strong, energetic 9 year old.  She jumps and runs around as much as any puppy and certainly doesn’t ACT like a little old lady girl.  She's even started to enjoy playing with toys and it is a heartwarming joy to watch her act so happy.  Anna is crate trained and potty trained. She has become Miss Independent and gained a lot of confidence and now we see that she needs to honestly be the only Queen of the house.  She loves to dominate all the attention in her foster home and can be quite angry if she doesn’t feel that she has all the attention.  If you work from home, she will happily keep you company, unless someone else in the house heads for a nap. She is always ready to nap and snuggle.  She is the best snuggler and has an appreciation for comfy blankets and pillows. Anna Banana has blossomed and now is flourishing with lots of personality, a feisty attitude and a nose for having fun. And yes, she loves to be called Anna Banana.  If you are interested in making this girl your very close friend in life please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 4, 2025, 9:50 pm
