Chewbacca is the sweetest little nugget you'll ever meet who is always at your side snuggled up. He's a terrier though, so he can be feisty walking by other dogs on a leash but he's all bark and no bite. He adores his people and would do best in a home with children, another playful small dog and a family who is home often. He does mark inside on occasion but is housetrained most of the time. He is fostered ni Houston TX and will be transported upon adoption His fee is $850. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED AT: www.recycleddogsrescue.org/adoption-application

Story
Sasha is 4 years old. She has separation anxiety. I had her getting used to being in the crate, she will bark and scream if she feels like she’s being abandoned. She likes to go on walks. She’s good with other dogs. In a new environment, if you need to ; she will need to be trained to pee on a pad if you don’t want to take her for walks. She has a mild temperament, easy to get along with. Good with kids. When she’s in trouble she will hide , if she feels cornered she will nip at you. She loves to cuddle.

Story
We just welcomed lookalike duo Bernie and Cleo! These adorable pups are closely bonded and we plan to keep them together. We believe they are mother and son Yorkie / Beagle mixes around 11 or 12 years old. Bernie and Cleo were devastatingly surrendered when their elderly owner's health declined. They are in good shape but you can tell which one may be the faster eater - Bernie’s one thick boy and his mama Cleo is a little thin! Both pups did wonderfully meeting other dogs and are an incredibly sweet and fully bonded pair. It’s reportedly been awhile since they’ve seen the vet, so we are eager to see how they’re doing medically. At first glance, we know some serious dentals are definitely in store! Mama Cleo is also on anti-seizure meds which apparently have worked well for her. Cleo is approximately 12 years old and 11 lbs; Bernie is approximately 11 years old and 21 lbs.

Story
Meet Stuart! This little miracle man is an absolute fighter and the sweetest boy despite being found in horrific conditions. Stu was surrendered to a shelter by a good samaritan who found him in a state of absolute decay. We acted immediately and scooped him up into a warm towel, through which we could feel the severity of his heart murmur pounding in his little chest. We could see every bone in his body, some gnarled up and arthritic. Despite everything he's faced, his foster mom describes him as the happiest, sweetest, and smartest boy! In her words, "he's perfect!" He is getting constant warm baths to soothe and heal his skin and eating voraciously. He even has a favorite pair of dinosaur pajamas! His foster mom cuddles him daily and tells him what a wonderful boy he is, but Stu can't wait to find the forever family that will give him the life and love he deserves. Stu is working on learning about leashes and house training. For now, he enjoyes wandering around the yard and benefits from wearing a belly band. He rides well in the car and can handle going up and down a few stairs, if needed. He’s been through a lot but is a very resilient pup! He can't wait to start his next chapter, maybe with you? Stu is approx 12 years olf and 5 lbs. Fostered in Severn, MD Please apply at MirisHaven.org

When you meet this adorable 6 pound, pure Maltese boy, you will understand why we call him Might Tiny Picasso.   Loving. And  extremely affectionate,  this white fluff balls was reaching through his wire crate to grab your haand and your heart when we picked him from the shelter.  Found is astray and extremely bedraggled, and long-haired. This boy needed neutering and a grooming and definitely a better home for his future.  He is learning all about crate.Training and housebreaking, which is coming along beautifully.  He came into our care on march twenty seventh and we're not getting too attached because we know a great home is right around the corner for him.  He's living with Yorkies right now and doing his best to be their good friends.   He loves being outside and he loves sitting on the back of the sofa, overlooking his foster mom's domain.   Your lap is the best place in life for him.   Mighty tiny picasso will bring the artwork of love to your life.  Please contact critter cavalry rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.   He is currently in Nashville, Tennessee, and we transport to the northeast every weekend.  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 1, 2025, 12:43 am

Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Lulu. • Personality: Cuddle lover, people-oriented, loyal Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. He enjoys being touched. He is a "cuddle enthusiast" and often smiles when receiving attention. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Lulu has limited experience interacting with other dogs. He doesn't show much interest in them but could benefit from living with a similarly-sized companion. His social skills will develop as he gains more experience. -Adults/Kids: Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Lulu has not yet had proper walks. Once his adoption is confirmed, he will receive walking training, but continued practice with his adopter will be necessary. • Housetrained: Lulu frequently marks indoors and is still learning to use pads. More training is needed, and his adopter will need to continue this process. Once his adoption is confirmed, the team will continue pad training, but the adopter will need to maintain consistency with training. Baths/Brushing: He's calm during grooming, including nail trimming and brushing. • Separation Anxiety: None at the current facility • Barker or Quiet: Occasional demand barking (getting out of a crate, asking for more belly rubs, etc.) • Food Allergies: None • Likes & Dislikes: Likes People, treats, cuddles, and toys! • Health: Lulu has undergone surgery for both patellar luxation and is currently in rehabilitation. An ulcer in his left cornea is being treated with eye drops and is recovering.
