You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Oh so small in size, but big with life and love, Milkshake loves to play and at barely a year old should have a long life to prance at your side and play with you happily in the yard, the park, or anywhere you want to go. If you go there, she will be overjoyed to be at your side. At only 10 lbs., she will fit well into a backpack or a front snuggly. Extra outgoing and friendly, she loves the whole world. For you, of course, she will reserve a very special love that will last a lifetime and then some. You can count on her to greet your friends with tail wags. Sometimes, when she is extra pleased, her tail looks like a windmill in a stiff breeze! If you want to bring warmth, joy and happiness into your life, Milkshake is your girl. Come meet her and see for yourself.    If you are interested in Milkshake, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! ***Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 5, 2026, 1:27 am

Story
There’s something so special about Shania — something that can’t quite be captured in a photo. At just 9 months old and 12 pounds, this Parsons Terrier/Westie mix has already been through more than most dogs her age, yet she radiates quiet hope and sweetness. When you first meet her, she may hang back a little, unsure of what to expect. But once she realizes you’re kind, she softens — her tail gives a shy wag, and her eyes begin to sparkle. You can almost see her heart opening up as she learns to trust. That’s Shania’s magic — she doesn’t just love; she chooses you, one gentle moment at a time. Shania loves other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can have a friendly canine companion or calm human friends to help her continue to blossom. She’d do best with older children or adults, as younger ones have been unkind to her in the past. She deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She’s fully vetted, spayed, and ready to begin her new life — one filled with kindness, stability, and love. Shania’s foster family says everyone who meets her is captivated by her tender personality and soulful spirit. This little treasure is ready to start fresh and discover what it feels like to be truly loved. If you can give her that gift, she’ll return it tenfold.Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Shania. She’s in Tennessee and can travel north on one of our weekend transports. 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.comMarch 17, 2026, 12:01 pm

Story
  Meet Creole Girl — tiny, mighty, and full of sunshine.   This precious 3-year-old purebred Jack Russell Terrier may only weigh 12 pounds, but she carries herself with the confidence of a thousand dogs. With her expressive little face and bright, curious eyes, Creole Girl has a way of stealing hearts within seconds—and she knows it. She’s funny, happy, endlessly curious, and always ready to see what adventure the day might bring.   Creole Girl’s world recently turned upside down when her devoted mom was forced to move and couldn’t find housing that would allow her to bring her along. It’s been heartbreaking for them both, and while her mom grieves, Creole Girl is left trying to understand where her person went.   Now, with the help of Critter Cavalry, she’s ready for a fresh start—and what a wonderful companion she’s going to be. Creole Girl is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative—healthy and ready to go. Even better, she’s the total package: housebroken, great with other dogs, and walks beautifully on a leash. (Cats are still a mystery.) She’s the kind of dog who settles in easily because she already knows how to be a wonderful companion.   And true to her Jack Russell roots, she’s got that fun-loving, energetic spark! A fenced yard would be a dream for this little “energizer bunny,” giving her the freedom to zoom, explore, and burn off that joyful energy she carries in abundance.   But don’t let her playful side fool you—Creole Girl is also a champion snuggler. When the day winds down, she’s more than happy to curl up close and soak in all the love you’re willing to give.   Dogs like Creole Girl are rare. She’s been loved, well cared for, and comes without baggage—just a tender heart that needs a little time to heal. In return, she offers years of companionship, laughter, and that unmistakable Jack Russell brilliance and personality.   She isn’t just a good dog—she’s a treasure.    If you’re ready to welcome this confident little girl into your life, you won’t regret it—not for a second.Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to request an adoption form, and be sure to include your location. Creole Girl is available for adoption in Tennessee and also to select northeastern states, with transport options available to help her reach her forever home.   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.comApril 5, 2026, 9:29 pm

Story
Current Location: Ijamsville, MD Meet Macaroni: The Shy Little Collector 🧸 If you have a quiet home, a playful dog, and a heart full of patience, Macaroni might just be your perfect match. Macaroni is a beautiful black wire-haired Terrier mix with a soul that is slowly learning how to shine. Coming from a difficult hoarding situation, the world can still feel a bit overwhelming for her. She is very shy and cautious when meeting new people, but for the right person, the reward of her trust is worth every second of the wait. Her Personality: Once Macaroni feels safe and opens up, her true "silly girl" side comes out! She’s a quirky, sweet pup who has a hilarious habit of collecting random objects—she loves to keep her favorite "things" close for safekeeping. What Macaroni Needs: - A Canine Guide: Macaroni must have a confident dog sibling in her forever home. She finds her courage by watching other dogs and needs a buddy to show her that life isn't so scary. Need a built-in buddy for Macaroni? Check out her adoptable foster brother, Jaxi, in the link below! https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/OPFH-A-46911 - A Secure Yard: Because she finds the leash quite intimidating, a fenced-in yard is a must. She loves to explore and play at her own pace in a secure space. - Patience & Understanding: Her new family will need to take things slow. She isn’t a "love at first sight" kind of girl, but rather a "love that grows deeper every day" kind of girl. - A Quiet Environment: A calm household without too much hustle and bustle will help her feel most at ease. Macaroni has come a long way, and she’s looking for a special adopter who sees the brave dog she is becoming. Are you ready to show Macaroni what a "happily ever after" feels like?

Debbie-Decker Terrier/Rat TerrierTri-colored female, ~3 yr. (March 2026) Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application. Debbie came to rescue when her owner could no longer care for her. They said their life was too busy to have a dog and asked a Dog Trainer/Head of a Dog Prison Program to take Debbie in. She's been living as a foster dog with the Trainer for a couple weeks and has done very well with her large dogs. She's friendly, well behaved in the house. She's crate trained and a joy to have around. Said to be high energy, she'll make a great hiking of running partner. Debbie is about 35#, a nice medium size. This week she started the Training Program at the Prison and will be learning basic obedience and so much more! Debbie's adoption fee is $350 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Please include your location and a phone number for future communication. "The Decker Terrier is a remarkable and rare branch of the Rat Terrier family, admired for its size, versatility, and loyal temperament. Sometimes referred to as the “Decker Giant Rat Terrier,” this breed was developed in the 1970s by Milton Decker with the goal of creating a dog that was larger, athletic, and adaptable while still retaining the intelligence and loyalty of the traditional Rat Terrier. Today, the Decker Terrier is known as a loyal companion, excellent family dog, and versatile working partner — making it one of the most sought-after Rat Terrier variations."
