Story
Meet very handsome Apollo! 6 year old Apollo is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix looking for his furever home. He is very energetic and will be his best within an active family with older children. He loves cuddling with his cat friends (or just cuddling in general), going for long walks, and curling up on someone's lap on the couch at the end of the day. He would do best in a home without other dogs since he's pretty much alpha.   He is UTD on shots, HW negative, microchipped, and takes Heartgard monthly.   When you need that special someone to share your day with Apollo/CP is the right guy for you!!!   Please complete our application at: http://www.russellrescuetn.com/application-for-adoption/November 5, 2024, 12:34 am

Story
Peppermint Patty is such a sweet older lady at 12. She loves to sleep under the covers at night and naps. She has about 4 favorite places to nap. She loves being outside sitting in the sun and exploring the yard. She has a little playful side as well. Not for very long but when it happens it's adorable. She spins when she's excited. She rarely barks unless you are not doing what she wants which almost never happens because I dote on her. She gets along with my small dogs very well. They ignore each other most of the time. She's precious!Peppermint Patty is doing great! Loves to wander around the yard many times a day. Sleeps under blankets and loves to be petted. She is going to do great in a house with someone who can let her out often. She's great with my dogs who are all small. She not much of a barker, one of the only times she's barked was to get me out of bed at 5am!Peppermint Pattys owner passed away and she is looking for a new forever home. Peppermint Patty was adopted several years ago as a rescue. She had had a litter of puppies but no one wanted her. She is a quiet shy little lady. She has to take medicine twice a day for a gastro problem. Other than that she is a health sweet girl.

Story
Meet Cleo! This 5 year old min pin mix is about 12 pounds and absolutely beautiful!! She is also a little escape artist and escaped for several weeks! Since she’s been back in our care she’s been super shy and scared! She’s started to warm up some but she definitely prefers everything on her terms! She likes her own little space and loves her crate! She’s potty pad trained and loves treats and to eat She’s not big on being picked up or held but once she trusts she will let you pet her head. She is great for someone who has time and patience to let her warm up on her own timing! She’s a super easy to take care of gal in that she just wants her food, cozy crate, and needs her potty pad! If you are willing to let her warm up on her terms and give her space she’s your girl! Apply online or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approved Cleo came from a hoarding situation where there were about 20 dogs. Some of the other dogs we have gotten from there have been pretty shy and scared at first, but have warmed up fairly quickly. She is very shy and scared If you would like to help one of these sweet babies, please apply online or email russellrescuetn@gmail.com if already approvedDecember 27, 2024, 1:38 am

Dean catching up on some afternoon sun. A little about DeanHe loves the outdoors. He would love a fenced in yard in a dog savvy home. Despite his small stature, he has a large personality. He loves to play and is very fast and athletic. He is very vocal and voices his opinion when the topic is food or going outside. He Blended in quickly with my personal pack and loves them after strict, proper introductions were done. He is 100 potty trained, not a marker. He does shed. He loves sleeping with humans, but is crate trained for nighttime or time outs.Dean is a bundle of love, he wants nothing more than to be petted and loved. He loves to be under the covers, gets along with other dogs.  I can tell he would love to run zoomies in my yard with my pack, but because of his treatment, his exercise needs to be very limited. He’s not a big barker, but when he barks, he’s got a deep manly voice .I have no doubt that when Dean is ready to meet and mingle he’ll break the hearts of many . He’s a neutered male 6 years old,  long legs and to me, He looks like a little miniature coyote/fox Stay tuned for great updates on his progressJanuary 22, 2025, 2:24 pm

Story
Poor little Chewy was spotted in the woods and was too scared to come to anyone. We had to set a trap and after 3 days we finally caught him! He was skin and bones but as soon as we got him back to the rescue and out of the crate, sweet as sugar! He's actually a bit of a cling on now, probably afraid someone will dump him again. He's super friendly with strangers and kids which is a wonderful trait for a Chihuahua. We don't think he is full blooded Chihuahua, perhaps mixed with Rat Terrier, just a guess. His pictures aren't the best because it was a freezing cold windy day. Our vet thinks he's about 4 years young. He has some mild tartar on his teeth so we are having his teeth professionally cleaned. He is neutered, vaccinated, heart worm negative, crate trained and microchipped. He will be ready for adoption on February 21st. ADOPTION FEE: $600

Story
Anna is a 9 year old, 10lb adorable Chug (chihuahua/pug mix) who has endured some big human turmoil recently and ended up in a Middle Tennessee shelter. Not much is known of her history, but her underweight condition indicates at least some neglect took place. A really devoted foster mom for Critter.Cavalry Rescue noticed her profile in the shelter and realized that being a senior she might not be chosen very easily by the general public.  This young foster woman is making sure that Anna has everything she needs. She used to be timid at first and a little wary of quick movements but all that has changed and she is miss independent, confident and amazing in her whole personality turn around.  She wants to be by your side and your best snuggle buddy now. Anna has some spunk and can run up stairs as fast as any puppy. She is good with other dogs and initiates playing and loves puppies!   She is finally starting to play with toys and it's so wonderful to see her discovering that side to her personality. She used to be so serious and sad. She does well on a leash and going outside. She is potty trained and crate trained and she loves her crate as a getaway space.  We are wanting someone who works from home or is retired and nit gone long long hours daily. She has found the cozy comforts of warm blankets and fluffy pillows are special and she sweetly burrows underneath.  Anna has lots of love to give and deserves  a family to spoil her.   Please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Tia is an adorable chihuahua mix who has a sweet disposition and gets along great with dogs of any size. She is extremely timid, so it takes her time to trust people. She does not like to be picked up nor held. However, she enjoys snuggling on the couch or in bed with her humans (especially under a cozy blanket). She also loves bathing in the sunshine. Tia is house-trained, kennel-trained, and adapts quickly to routines. Due to her size and timid nature, Tia would be best suited with an experienced and patient dog owner with no small children. She requires a fence and leash walks only. Tia may be shy, but she has the heart of a loving, frisky pup who deserves a wonderful forever home!     Medical Notes: Spayed Microchipped Vaccinated Heartworm negative Proheart 12 injection Has Skin Allergies - maintained on Apoquel (costs about $93 per month) Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 7, 2025, 3:20 pm

Story
This is kind of a big deal!!Feb 21 Bobo had his vet visit where he had a full dental. Prior to that his teeth hurt so badly he didn't even want to eat. Here we are a week later... And he is loving that bully stick!! He's playing with toys now and bouncing and running in the yard. He's a completely different dogHello everyone! This is Bobo he is one of the California dogs. He's about 8 years old and around 9 lbs. He's a pom mixHe is crate trained and housebroken and learns new routines very quickly. In 3 days he had figured out our routine and fell right into it. He is loose in the house with my resident dog when I run errands.He is tenderfooted outside in our yard which makes me wonder if he's had a well manicured grass lawn instead of being walked on a variety of surfaces. He does well on a leash but enjoys the freedom of a fenced back yard.He is not a high energy dog. He's very happy to follow you from room to room wagging his tail and curl up wherever you are.He gets along well with my resident dog and although he hasn't started playing yet, (My dog has tried lol) he may do that once he decompresses a bit. Untested with cats and kids.I gave him a bath and blew him dry, trimmed his feet and nails and he was VERY good for the whole procedure. It's obvious he's been groomed regularly in his life. He's super soft (outside pics were taken right after his bath) He loves to sunbathe in the yard now that temps have finally warmed up.He LOVES being held and melts in your arms even when sitting on the couch. He's VERY sweet and is the easiest foster that I have ever had. SWEET SWEET SWEET. He's not a big kisser nor does he jump on the couch. He uses little doggie steps that I have put next to the couch. I have not heard him bark once.He visited the vet for neutering and an extensive dental. It was clear how much pain he was in because he's a totally different dog!He's happy, spins for his dinner and dives into his crate for meals. He's trying to figure out how to play with toys now that he can put his mouth on them without any pain.Bobo is a precious loving little dog who would LOVE a lap of his own! Could you be that home?This is Bobo he is one of the California dogs. He's about 8 years old and around 12 lbs. He's a pom mix Don't let that coat fool you!! He's not acclimated to our temps and he's SUCH a trooper. He LOVES going outside with my resident dog and will come in shivering uncontrollably. But even in freezing temps he's always happy to go out and do his business. I suspect when warmer temps come he will be right there sunbathing with the best of them. He is crate trained and housebroken and learns new routines very quickly. He's not been here long but has already figured out our scheduled TV time and he is ready to curl up with you and nap. He is tenderfooted outside in our yard which makes me wonder if he's had a well manicured grass lawn instead of being walked on a variety of surfaces.

I have not heard him bark once. He has his big vet appointment Friday and then will be ready for a new home. Bobo is precious and I really don't use that word often. His whole world has been turned upside down and he's adjusting so well to all of the changes.Little Bobo had his BIG vet visit yesterday and had 10 teeth pulled, neutered, rabies, heartworm check and microchip! He was SUCH a trooper. Everyone at the vets adored him and said what a sweetheart he is.Time for some R + R and healing.Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.
