Story

My name is Josie and I am a very young one year old Papillion girl who is pretty and dainty at just 8 pounds and I am looking for a stable and loving home ASAP. I was surrendered to Critter Cavalry Rescue because my owners had too many dogs and were not able to feed us all. I honestly need a few more pounds to be at a healthy and solid weight for my breed. I am sweet and loving with people and wonderful with other dogs and even a few cats that are fostered by my foster mom Ms. Barbara. I am good in a crate and still working on a good housebreaking routine. I have been with Critter Cavalry Rescue since March 16th and they quickly had me spayed and updated on all shots and heartworm test and microchipped. There was everything to do to get me ready to move into a much better lifestyle with people who could afford to do all the right things for me in life. I am a doll baby, or so I am told. I would love to go for rides in a fancy car seat with my new mom and I would be so happy to sit really pretty on the sofa or wait for someone at night to sleep with in their bed. If you want me to be your pretty little girl then please write to ccrnewengland@gmail.com ASAP I am in Nashville, TN in a foster home and I am ready for a new life in the northeast where I can ride up on the special Dog Van. 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 23, 2025, 9:09 pm

Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter; needs foster or forever home in the DC area.

Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. Sam is Looking For: Romps in parks and world exploration by her new humans' side! This pup is eager to burn off all that young-dog energy and make pup and people pals along the way.

It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time.
