puppy sassafras

  Meet Sassafras (Sassy Girl is more accurate) our tiny but mighty girl! This 8-week-old Chihuahua mix pup may be pint-sized, but she’s packed with personality. With her adorable black and tan coat and the sweetest little white-tipped paws, she’s as cute as they come—and she knows it. Found at a rural Tennessee hardware store in a cardboard box, being given away by an elderly man whose dog had puppies, our Critter Cavalry foster mom couldn't leave them there to be handed out like trinkets.  These were little lives that needed the best homes with people who have the best intentions and love to give.  So home she came with 3 Chihuahua puppies who are all identical in size and color.  Two boys and one little Sassy Girl!  At just 4 pounds and 8 weeks old, don’t let her small size fool you—this fearless pup is full of confidence and curiosity. She’s always ready to explore, play, and take on the world like she’s ten times her size. Destined to be 15-18 pounds when fully grown, she’s constantly bouncing around with excitement or snuggling up after an adventure.  Sassy Girl brings big energy and even bigger charm wherever she goes. She wears her harness like a pro and is already working on leash walking and basic manners to help her grow into the very best girl. With her eagerness to learn and brave spirit, she’s sure to thrive in a loving home that will continue guiding her along the way.   If you’re looking for a bold, spunky companion with a heart as big as her personality, this little lady might just be your perfect match!   Ready April 17th for adoption.  If you are interested please write to 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 18, 2026, 6:21 pm
