Story
When Lola came into the rescue, she was a hefty 12 lb chihuahua. Her former owner became ill and could no longer care for her. She is spayed, current on vaccines, and preventions.  Lola is looking for a foster/adopter who is committed to helping her lose weight and getting her socialized.  Ideally, this would involve hand feeding so that she can start to build a bond with her foster/adopter. Since coming into rescue, she has lost some weight and is becoming more active.  We have learned that Lola will play with your feet and that she is a huge fan of pizza crust.  She loves her doggy bed, too! She is pee pad trained and goes to the door to poop - but won’t go outside - and prefers to use the peepad.  This girl is slow to warm up but does want to be loved. She likes attention and even talks back when talked to. She is head shy, so if you go towards her with your hand, she lets you know that she does not like that and will use her teeth. It will take a special foster/adopter who is willing to work through this issue with her.  An ideal home for her would be an adult only home.  She is dog friendly.November 6, 2024, 9:04 am

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 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Story
Timmy is a 5 1/2 year old Chihuahua mix who weighs 14 lbs.  He and his buddy Ebony were surrendered to a rural middle Tennessee shelter in July.  He didn't understand why this happened to them and was really scared at first.  He took him a little while to settle in and he has now blossomed into a wonderful, happy and friendly little guy.  Timmy gets along well with other dogs both his size and larger.  He loves to hang out in his foster mom's fenced in yard and has a good time playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They also have a large fenced in field where everyone goes for daily exercise.  Timmy just loves it.  He would do best in a home with another dog who will be his buddy.  He would not do well as an only dog.  Timmy also loves people.  He likes being with his foster mom and is always up for a movie or ballgame.  He would love to snuggle with you at night as well.  Timmy would make a great addition to the right home.  He is a sweet little guy.  Timmy is housebroken, doggie door trained and he can walk on a leash.  He has been neutered and is current on all his shots, heartworm negative, on monthly preventative and microchipped.  To be considered for Timmy's forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Timmy is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 5, 2024, 1:27 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
