Story
**PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT WHEN REQUESTING AN APPLICATION** 6-4-25 UPDATE: "Well, I have been in my Foster home for 2 months now, and not one person has inquired about me. Why? I am the perfect boy, as you will read below, and I am smaller than my pictures make me look! Please don't let my age hold you back! I have lots of life and love to give you! Won't YOU ask to meet me? Please?" Mom calls me "Super Duper Trooper!" Come meet me and find out why!!" 4-12-25 UPDATE: "While I miss my owner terribly, I am doing so good in my Foster home! I am doing great with the other dogs, and I feel so secure and safe in my crate. I do go to the door to let Mom know I need to go out and scratch at the door to come in. Mom has a dog door, but I haven't learned to use it just yet. I do love to lay on the couch with you! I do get really excited when I hear the word "eat", and I know how to "sit" on command. Mom says I am just the greatest boy, and anyone would be happy to have me in their lives!!" 4-2-25: "Hi everyone, my name is TROOPER, and my story is a sad one, but with you, I will have a happy ending! You see, I am an 8-year-old Pug Chihuahua mix, about 27 pounds (need to lose a few pounds!), fully vetted, chipped and HW negative. My owner adopted me as a young puppy and had me all this time. Oh the life we had together, it was wonderful, but sadly, things went awry, and I tried and tried to get him to wake up, to no avail. His family had the Police and Animal Control come to do a wellness check, but it was too late--my beloved owner had passed, and I laid on him, protecting him for several days. I didn't realize they all were there to help me, so I wasn't too overly friendly at the time. Well, they took me to the shelter, but was kind of Mr. Bossy Pants with others who tried to show me love. I was corrected each time I did that, and I am learning that that is not the correct behavior for a cute guy like me! I will need an owner who will keep me in line, and who will show me who is the "Boss" in the family. I do respond to correction well and have been behaving great in my foster home! I do my business outside, and am crate trained, as well as walking great on the leash! I don't know how I am with cats or children but am good with the other dogs in my foster home. I do need an owner who will understand me, knowing I need that firm guidance, and then how happy we both will be!! Do I sound like a guy you'd like to have in your life? Just email my Foster Mom at citizens4animals@yahoo.com and we can make it all happen!!" "Thank you for taking the time to learn all about me! I look forward to meeting you!!" Love, TROOPER **GOOD VERIFIABLE VET REFERENCE REQUIRED**

Story
Meet Otis – The Gentleman with the Biggest Heart  At 2 ½ years old and 27 pounds, Otis is the perfect little package of love. This Boston Terrier mix (with maybe a dash of Min Pin magic!) is as charming as they come. Sadly, Otis lost his beloved human, and his tender heart has been looking for someone new to love ever since.  Otis is the definition of a loyal friend—he adores people and is wonderful with other dogs. With his playful spirit and affectionate personality, he’ll happily bring joy to any home. The only thing he asks is a cat-free environment, since our feline friends aren’t his cup of tea. Healthy, neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative, Otis is ready to start fresh. He’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for his person, the one who will give him the love and stability he deserves.  If you’re searching for a best friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Otis is your boy. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#156&#168 Could Otis be the missing piece of your heart?   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.August 28, 2025, 8:49 am

Story
Koby just turned 3 years old and is a truly joyful dog. He loves to play, have fun, and then relax and rest by your side. He is a big fan of food and treats, which makes him even more adorable. Koby is a beautiful dog with an amazing coat color and stunning eyes, and most importantly, he is healthy. We love Koby with all our hearts, but unfortunately our lifestyle and schedule no longer allow us to give him the time and attention he needs and deserves. This decision is not easy for us, but we want what is best for him. We are looking for a loving and responsible person or family who has the time, patience, and affection to give Koby the life he deserves. He is full of love and ready to share it with the right home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Ayla is looking for her furever home! Ayla is a sweet, silly and playful approximately 6-year-old Boston Terrier / Old English Bulldog mix. This sturdy girl is about 40 lbs. She is very shy at first at first meeting and needs time to warm up to new people. Once she warms up to you, she loves to get pets and scratches. Ayla loves chew toys (you'll need the "super chewer" variety) and enjoys a good game of fetch. She is a love bug that is eager for love and affection. She loves kids, though she can be a bit jumpy when excited and older kids would be best. Ayla likes other dogs, but needs a friend that is submissive, allowing her to be the dominant one. She is house trained and crate trained, though she'd much prefer the floor or couch. She has a cherry eye that may need surgery, which the rescue will pay for. Ayla is located in Boiling Springs, SC. If you are interested, please apply at https://www.bostonrescueteam.com/info/adoption.
