My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 

Ziggy is just one of those dogs that grabs your heart and you just want to tell him that everything will be OK for the rest of his life.   This handsome boy was literally dumped in a very rural area of Middle Tennessee with his siblings.  They found a house that they adopted and decided to hang out there since the people were not shooting at them and trying to make them leave.  They didn’t have a place to come inside during the summer and two of the siblings who were easy to catch were soon fostered and adopted to wonderful homes.  Ziggy decided to drop his guard and let the humans touch him and love on him.  Now he is ready for a forever home that will be patient and loving to him as he explores the delights of having a dog bed, a meal that is ready for him each day and the promise that he will be the center of some family’s life one day.  Ziggy is 11 months old and weighs 50 pounds and we consider him to one of those wonderful Heinz 57 dogs that might have 12 different breeds mixed in.  What we see is Lab and Hound and a sprinkle of so much more that makes him unique in every way.  One thing we do know is that Ziggy’s soul is thirsty for love and acceptance and the ultimate thing that has always escaped him in from the very start…..security.  For his entire life he has never been promised anything.  Never knew where he should live, where he would get a meal or if someone would be kind to him. Nothing steady and certainly nothing secure.  He has Critter Cavalry’s promise for all that and more.  Ziggy is good with dogs, cats, young children, and even meeting adults is something he does pretty well now. Ziggy is a gentle soul that is a little nervous still because his foundation of trust and stability has just now started being built.   He will be a wonderful young dog that will show you just what YOUR love can do in the life of a dog that will return it to you 10 -fold.   If you are interested in our Ziggy please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state.  We have him in Nashville, Tn and we transport northward as well every weekend to 6 different transport stops!  We can make it happen for you and Ziggy to be a family.

 

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.com

More about this rescue

We are a group of dedicated rescue people who want to save as many dogs and cats from the local shelters before they are euthanized. On the average....there are only 1 out of 10 animals that get adopted from a shelter. We are dedicated to helping increase pet adoptions by offering a shelter animal a foster home to go to while awaiting an adoptive family to find them on our Petfinder website. Won't you please adopt a shelter animal? Or won't you please help us foster a shelter animal while we are looking for their perfect home? What a gift you can give a dog or cat by giving them a place to feel safe and secure....a forever home or a foster home. Won't you help us at Critter Companion Rescue give them a chance to have a life?
