My story

From Shadows to Sunshine: Vader's New Beginning Starts With You In a world he didn’t choose, Vader survived. Not in a warm home with toys and cuddles, but in a heartbreaking hoarding situation with over 100 other Chihuahuas, crammed into chaos, forgotten by the world. Now, this light yellow 13-pound boy, just 1–2 years old, is gently learning that life can be kind. Vader is a soft soul. Cautious, yes—but never unkind. Despite everything he’s endured, he has never snapped, never growled—only quietly observed and waited. He takes comfort in his crate, snuggled into a blanket, watching the world slowly unfold around him. He doesn’t ask for much—just peace, and someone who understands. In his foster home, he’s already showing tiny signs of blooming: He’s housebroken—yes, already! He coexists easily with the other dogs, politely ignores the cats, and even accepts gentle love from a 3-year-old child. He’s finding courage. Day by day. Breath by breath. Vader doesn’t need a fast-paced world or loud voices. He needs you—someone patient, someone kind, someone who sees the beauty in a dog who's never truly known safety, but desperately wants to. If you’ve ever wished to be someone’s second chance… this is it. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Give Vader the forever he’s never known. Because behind those timid eyes is a heart just waiting to love. Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to apply or ask more.   PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 11, 2025, 9:36 pm

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