My story

Once upon a time there was a sad group of chihuahuas that were being used to make ends meet for a financially challenged family in rural Tennessee. The intentions started out good but soon things got out of hand.  Very much out of hand. Patty Cake and all the other Chihuahuas who had produced puppies to sell for income, were in a situation of chaos and unsanitary living conditions.  The humans' marriage broke up and the man walked out and desperation set in. This led to Patty Cake being surrendered to the rescue world and 17 other Chihuahuas escaped a bad life.  We soon learned that Patty Cake was pregnant. No one knew it, because she was so thin from lack of proper food.  She gave birth and lovingly raised one puppy.  Now it is Patty Cake's time to have her future years in the sun and be free of the chore of having babies just to bring in money to live on.  This is a very quiet and pretty 4 year old Chihuahua girl is ready to sit upon her new owner's lap like a little queen watching over her domain.  She is learning about the world outside and is exploring new adventures every day.  We want Patty to be comfortable and happy in a home with no young children who might need to be a bit busy and active.  She needs tranquility, love and patience as she learns what a normal life can provide to her.  She is crate trained and leash trained and housebroken.  She is beautiful and weighs 11 pounds and is still young.  Patty Cake is nice Diva.  A loving Chihuahua who needs a stable and Chihuahua savvy home.  She deserves the good times that we know someone can offer. If you are interested please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  Please let us know where you live as we do transport out of Tennessee to the northeastern states 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.comMay 13, 2026, 10:46 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt PATTY CAKE IS GENTLE, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
