PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - HOLT Looking for a new furry friend? Look no further than Holt! This young, male pup is friendly, affectionate, gentle and quiet, and is looking for a forever home where he can be the center of attention. Despite his youth, Holt is a very wise and calm dog and will be a great companion for an animal lover who is looking for a lovely pet. Holt came to us from a NC shelter after his owner passed away. He lived with several other small dogs, and has been kind to the others in rescue. He's in good health - already neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He tested negative for heart worms and has lovely teeth befitting a dog 1-2 years of age. If you're ready to open your heart and your home to this sweetheart, please get in touch. He's waiting to meet you! Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of the dog and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and the dog at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting the dog and determining that it matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.

Not only is she adorable, but she is super sweet and very playful. Though young (still a puppy) Goldie clearly prefers humans to animals and will quickly snap at another animal invading her space.

She is very quiet and initially shy, but we are seeing her warm up more each day and that's in our kennel with new volunteers. We can only imagine how beautifully she would bloom in a loving home! Zarina is a little gal, only 8 pounds. Her pictures make her appear larger than she is. Not only is she adorable, but she is super sweet and very gentle. She loves the other small dogs here and likes the people who interact with her. Zarina is in good health.

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
