Story
Meet Parker!  This precious little guy is 4 years old and about 12 lbs.  Evidently Parker did not have a very good life prior to joining Critter Cavalry.  We think he was bullied by another dog.  He is a 'sit on the sidelines and watch' kinda guy who doesn't really want to play with anyone.  He doesn't mind the other dogs and definitely is not mean.  He would just rather be with people.  Parker is super sweet and loves people.  He just wants to be where his foster mom is.  Parker would be a wonderful companion for someone that just wants one dog and who would like a dog they can take places.  He would love that and would love to be friends with all your friends.  He is just precious and very friendly.  He gentlY smells you to make sure you are OK and then he is good.  He was smiling during his photo shoot and seemed to enjoy all the attention.  If you are looking for a loyal companion then you have found him in Parker.  Parker is doggie door trained, neutered, current on all shots, heartworm negative and microchipped.  To be considered for Parker's forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Parker is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
Oliver is one of the most handsome Chihuahuas we have ever presented for adoption and it just the young age of 2 years and 10 lb, we know he will be adopted soon. His sweet personality just endears everyone to him when they meet him.   This boy in a few of the pictures you can see is just so confused about why his photos are being made. He was displaced from his home because the owner had way too many dogs and she had to choose him since he was one of the youngest and ask for us to rehome him. Some of her older dogs would not be adopted so she sacrifices very dear soul to go into rescue and be neutered and all of the vetting done that he deserved. She could not financially do it. Oliver is housebroken pretty much and we'll just need a little bit of time in a forever home to get the schedule right. He is great with other dogs big and small and cats. He wants to sleep with you in bed and he wants to have reassurance that he will never be moved again.  Our precious Oliver needs and adoption miracle. We're looking for a family that can give him a future for the next 15 years. Walks out in the world for exercise and adventures at outdoor festivals for family reunions or vacations at the beach where they allow dogs. This sweet boy will be a showstopper for someone. People will comment on what a beautiful and sweet boy because they are doing that now with the foster mom. If you're interested in Oliver please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and mention where you live, city and state. We transport northward as well as adopt in the Nashville Tennessee area where we are based. 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.comNovember 7, 2024, 10:11 pm

Story
  If you are looking for a dog with a sweet and soft side then you have to consider this most handsome little chiweenie called Hercules. We're not sure why he was ever called this name that brings to mind strengthen strong arms and height than weight and perhaps a little bit of pompous. Our little Hercules is anything but that. He is a 10-month-old, 11 lbs ,  little guy that is a Chiweenie and Dachshund mix that was adopted out by a rural family that thought he would be fun and no effort.  After the cuteness wore off and some work was required they  then decided that he was toouch effort so they put him outside in a 24/7 outdoor kennel and merely fed him and gave him water when he needed it. He's come to us in the past week and a half, since the beginning of November and now he's been neutered and he's being cared for and loved on by a nurturing foster mom. Hercules does have some things to polish and overcome, but he will get there with the right family. He's a little diamond in the rough who is a really sweet and loving dog that needs a confident family to show him he has worth and value.   He takes time to warm up to you, but if you let it be on his timeline,  he repays you 10 fold.He is learning crate training and is doing good with that. House training Will come along with some time and Critter Cavalry certainly has some words of guidance for that. He is learning what a leash is and is trying very hard.  He needs a home that has a calm environment and some older children and adults that won't have a lot of noise and high activity olto make him nervous. He just needs a nice quiet home with lots of love. This handsome boy does love to cuddle and sit in your lap.   Hercules didn't deserve being put outside in a kennel and was dealt a bad hand as a young pup.  Now he has the right rescue and the right foster mom to ensure that he has a bright future. Hercules will be one of the best redemption projects that you will ever embark on for your life. Put in a little work and you will get a million hours of love and sweetness. Please contact the rescue, Critter Cavalry 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.comNovember 11, 2024, 11:32 pm

Story
  Hello world, my name is Pixie And I am a beautiful Chihuahua girl who everyone says is sweet as Tennessee tea. I love people and I love to sit in your lap and look up in your face and tell you how special you are to me. I'm looking for a great home and a mom or mom and dad that will give me a chance to find my forever roots in life. I'm only four years old and I weigh a really light 8 lb only. I'm pretty, I'm polite, I'm housebroken, I'm good with dogs and cats and children and everything in the world. I have learned to go outside for my bathroom breaks and I can also use potty pads inside. I'm a versatile little girl who is small in stature but I have a big heart     My foster mom has been terrific and has taught me so much in life. I am crate trained and I am a little princess when I'm walking on a leash. If I have a special request it would be to share night time / bedtime and sleep in bed with you. I'm very quiet and I won't hog the covers. I promise. All I will do is go underneath the covers and you'll never know I'm there till the next morning. I promise to give the best kisses you've ever had and I will warm your lap during the cold winter days. I haven't had an experience with really small kids so I probably need to go to a mature home and I could be introduced to grandkids nicely I'm sure. I can fit in with just about anyone. Could I warm your toes during the cold winter months and sleep the night away with you? I am ready to go. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  Tell them where you live when you're inquiring. City and state would help them a lot. They transport from Tennessee all the way to the Northeast and also of course adopt in the Nashville Tennessee area as well. I'm ready to spend my holidays with you!!!!!!   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.comNovember 16, 2024, 7:24 am

Story
Meet Curious Puppy Coco.  This beautiful brindle boy is only 17 weeks old and 7 lbs.  Just look at that face.  It definitely tells you that this curious little guy will be in the middle of everything.  This little boy is all legs.  You just want to smile when you look at him.  He is at that awkward stage in life with legs and feet going every where.  Coco is a very sweet boy.  He is super friendly and does not meet a stranger.  He happily goes up to everyone to be petted.  Coco loves other dogs and has a big time playing with his foster brothers.  He is a bit of a pest to the older dogs though as he always wants to play.  Coco would love to have another young brother or sister to play with.  He definitely needs a companion to keep him busy.  When Coco does settle down he is a great little cuddle boy and will curl up in your lap or beside you to go to sleep.  This little guy is doggie door and crate trained.  He walks OK on a leash but does need some additional training.  He is very smart though and catches on quickly.  He will be an excellent addition to the right family.  Coco is neutered, current on all shots and microchipped.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Coco is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 18, 2024, 11:35 am

Story
Chloe is an amazing little pup who is about 5 years old and weighs 9 lbs. Chloe is a chiweenie mix, she has a long body and small head. She is not getting any bigger. This little girl is so sweet and just full of love. At first, she is a little timid and can be a bit scared. After a few days, she will start coming around and she is the funniest, cuddliest tiny baby you’ll meet. Chloe LOVES other dogs and would thrive with another dog in the house as she does lack confidence. She has been living with 3 other dogs and 2 cats in the home. She loves to cuddle with her fur-siblings if you’re not available to cuddle. She fears younger children as they can be loud and move fast. Children are okay if they’re calmer and understand patience with Chloe. Chloe LOVES her food and is very food and treat motivated. Chloe is pad/house trained and she is crate trained. She knows to jump on the couch or bed to cuddle, watch TV and sleep. At night she will put herself under your blankets as she gets cold quite easily. Her favorite spot to sleep above all else is in your neck. She will climb to the top of the couch or to your pillows and just curl up in the crook of your neck and fall asleep. She is not a big fan of leashes but can learn to walk on one. An ideal home for Chloe would be one with gentle children and somebody with patience (in the beginning) to allow Chloe time to decompress and come out of her shell. When she learns to trust you, she gets the zoomies and is one of the best dogs you’ll ever have. She is very loyal and loves her humans endlessly. Chloe is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, heart worm negative, current on preventions and will have a health certificate from a veterinarian giving her a clean bill of health. You can apply to adopt Chloe at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org
