Story
As a rescue, We do not euthanize dogs but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or have an adopter. 🙏🙏share share share🙏 Gracie🥰. You are such a sweet, gentle, quiet, scared little girl. Your demeanor lets me know your previous life has probably not been the kindest to you, making you shy and trembling. Once you knew I was not going to hurt you, you wagged gently and gave me sweet little kisses. You trembled going back into the kennell and i know you would love a soft bed of your own.

Story
  Introducing Vancelot, a small-ish mixed breed boy, born at the beginning of January to a long hair Chiweenie mom who was 12 pounds.   Vancelot is so handsome,  from his perfectly arched eyebrows to his eyes that make him look just like he is wearing eyeliner. His legs are a bit stubby so he is not going to be a tall guy but probably a bit low to the ground. We think we know who his dad was, and he was a habanese.Mix, along with the mom that had between short legs, too.  Vancelot is very friendly and loves to be the life of the party. He has participated in a puppy yoga class at the YMCA, along with his siblings and several other puppies. He had a blast running around making new friends. After giving him this exposure, we can confidently say that he loves people, other dogs, and does well in unfamiliar situations. The class included men, women, children and unfamiliar puppies much larger than him. He did well with everyone.  This munchkin loves to splash in his water dish, so we believe he would love to have some water activities in his life.  Perhaps this summer, a plastic kiddie pool would give him hours of fun to splash.  He has a start on his potty training, consistently going to the same spot and using a potty mat by the door, completing his training should not be difficult. We estimate his adult weight will be around 25-30 pounds.  If you are looking for a fun, happy-go-lucky companion to join your life, Vancelot is your guy!  Write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. he is ready the last weekend of March, and he is fostered in Nashville, Tennessee and able to be transported northward  the last weekend of March.    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 16, 2025, 10:11 pm

Story
This gorgeous munchkin is a nugget of cuteness and is called Rollo, a small-ish mixed breed boy born at the beginning of January to a 12 pound long haired Chiweenie momma. At the moment, and at ten weeks of age, he is nine pounds, and so we estimate him to be headed to an adult weight of 25-30 pounds. Rollo has an unusual multi-colored nose and eyes that make him look like he is wearing eyeliner - he is truly unique.  What is immediate and obvious to see is that he has a very outgoing personality and loves everyone. Recently he participated in a puppy yoga class at the YMCA along with his siblings and several other puppies. Oh what fun he had running from person to person, keeping everyone entertained. After giving him this exposure, we can confidently say that he loves people, other dogs, and does well in unfamiliar situations. The class included men, women, children and unfamiliar puppies much larger than him. He did well with all. Rollo loves his toys and will gather them around him on his blanket next to the heating vent where he takes his naps. Rollo has a start on his potty training, consistently going to the same spot and using a potty mat by the door, completing his training should not be difficult.  Rollo will be up for any adventure you want to take him on and is ready to be your best buddy the last weekend of March.  He can transport northward on our transport van from Nashville.Tennessee, where we stop at different transport stops to the northeast.  Please write to us, add Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  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 16, 2025, 10:11 pm
