Story
We fostered Charlie for 7yrs. He is 9 by his papers, he’s fixed, he’s spoiled, was raised with pit bulls in our house we lost one and him and Zoe don’t get along anymore both are dominant, Zoe attacked him and went to the ER. Next time want be so lucky. We don’t want Zoe to accidentally kill him, but Zoe we have to keep she’s a needy special girl that has to stay with us, Charlie needs a good home where hie will be spoiled and happy, he’s not happy anymore and is afraid of Zoe. We just keep them separated for now, his quality of life we care about and he’s had a good one but being raised in a small pack of four and 2 of them have passed him and Zoe just don’t seem to click, we leave they both go in kennels to be separated but not like before when they both were out and had the run of the house, we just don’t want to come home and find something has happened to Charlie, last attack he could have been killed by luck he wasn’t, he’s loving playful full of life but spoiled,

Story
Meet Ozzie. In mid-November, this incredibly sweet little dog found himself in a dire situation. He wasn’t feeling well, so his family took him to the vet. Shockingly, their recommended solution was to put Ozzie to sleep. Thankfully, the vet couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. Instead, he asked Ozzie’s family to release him into his care, and they agreed. He immediately called Critter Cavalry, and Ozzie’s story took a hopeful turn.   After a second thorough exam and x-rays, it was determined that nothing was seriously wrong with Ozzie. He only seemed to have some mild back pain, which resolved after a short course of medication. The moment Miss Dawn arrived home and Ozzie heard the other dogs, his spirits lifted. He happily bounded out of the car, and in no time, he was running around the backyard with his new friends.   Ozzie is a very sweet little man who is 7 years old and 9 lbs.  He is very friendly.  Ozzie gets along great with other dogs.  He does not meet a 4 legged stranger.  He also loves people.  Ozzie would do best in an all-adult home with another small dog to play with.  He is happy boy who just brings a smile to your face.  Don’t you want a similar smile on your face!!     To be considered for Ozzie’s forever family and to request an adoption application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Ozzie is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)December 11, 2025, 7:13 pm
