Story
Meet Kage, the ultimate good boy who's just so darn cute! This gentleman is a pro at house living, fully potty trained, and a master at walking on a leash and harness. He's a social butterfly, getting along famously with other dogs and loving those backyard playdates with his pals. Kage is a stunning mix of Lab and Border Collie, the perfect blend of intelligence and family-friendliness. He's just the right size, like a mini Lab or a slightly larger Border Collie. When you find two fantastic things that go together like peanut butter and jelly, you celebrate! Kage is that winning combo, and now you can celebrate by making him a cherished member of your family. His temperament is pure gold - sweet as honey with everyone he meets. Now, here's the scoop: Kage is a special needs pup, and he's looking for someone who can be with him about 90 percent of the time. Storms, rain, and loud noises send him into severe panic attacks, and he's been known to chew through walls when anxiety strikes. Crates aren't his jam because of past storm-related trauma. He's also dealing with seizures, so he's on medication for that. Kage would thrive in a local adoption, and he's best as a single dog with no cats or small animals around. He's a wonderful companion for older kids, and he loves nothing more than cuddles and long walks. He's got the whole house training thing down too. His foster mom adores him and has prepared him for his forever family as best she can. Now, the ball is in your court. Remember, when you adopt Kage, you're not just bringing home a good boy; you're giving him the loving, understanding home he deserves. Don't shop, adopt, because Kage's life depends on it! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Java is the sweetest boy who was rescued from the Memphis euthanasia room with just moments to spare. This little guy is eager to please and is a true people pleaser! He does great in his crate when his people are around and will settle down quietly after a bit of initial crying when they leave. Java loves playing with his foster siblings and has even made valiant attempts to befriend the cats by offering his blankets and toys—though they haven’t quite caught on to the idea of tug of war! He’s incredibly gentle and takes treats with the utmost care. While he’s still learning to walk on a leash, his food motivation makes him a quick study for training. Java is house-trained and crate-trained, as long as he’s promptly taken outside upon your return. Although he gets a bit distracted when someone is nearby during potty time, he’ll wait until he’s alone to do his business. . He’s the perfect size for cuddling in or near your lap and is usually able to get up on the couch by himself. This lovable pup is guaranteed to occupy every corner of your heart. Java would thrive in any home, especially one with children or another dog-friendly pet.   Medical Notes: Neutered Microchipped Vaccinated Heartworm negative Maintained on monthly preventatives Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2025, 11:15 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Deja is an adorable, energetic, cuddly puppy. In classic puppy fashion, plays hard and then crashes. She is still learning what’s a toy and what’s not, but takes redirection very well. She loves playing with other dogs and is learning to pick up canine cues from her foster sister. Deja is trying so hard on her potty training; when we go outside, she immediately pees. Then she gets a treat and pretends to pee multiple times in a row for extra treats :D On multiple occasions Deja has indicated that she wasn’t ready to come inside, ran off to go #2 in the yard, and then ran back to the house. She still has accidents in the house (pee only) but is getting better everyday.  The best thing about Deja is the cuddles. This puppy is a velcro dog who prefers a lap over any bed. She is happiest when she’s curled up with a human.  Deja has a fun personality and isn’t shy when she meets new people. She’s trying so hard to catch her own tail, she loves chasing stray leaves blowing across the yard, and she’s discovering her bark. She loves soft toys (especially if they roll) and is even willing to play fetch for a little bit, but she definitely needs good bones laying around to satisfy her natural instinct to chew.  Deja is a wonderful little pup who needs to find her forever home quickly so her new family doesn’t miss out on seeing this girl in her goofy puppy stage!   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2025, 3:00 pm

Story
I adopted Finn from the Nashville Humane Association when he was 8 weeks old, and he was born on August 21, 2024. He has grown into a loving, energetic, and intelligent companion who thrives in an active environment. He loves playing outdoors, running, and fetch, and his loyal, big personality makes him a great companion. Finn is smart and eager to learn—he already waits for the command “Okay” before eating. He loves attention, exercise, and being around people. I’m looking for a home where he’ll get plenty of love and care. Whether you’re experienced with dogs or simply want a devoted companion, Finn will be a wonderful fit. He’s a truly special dog who deserves a home where he can thrive.

Please contact Vivienne (viviennejames@comcast.net) for more information about this pet.Meet Charlie Barkley.  He is a sweet, playful awesome dog who is very easy to love.  He walks on a leash but needs additional training as he pulls.  He knows some basic commands but does need a bit more training.  Charlie is a 1 to 1 1/2 year old neutered male who weighs approximately 52 lbs.  He was originally adopted by a family that decided they no longer wanted him so they dumped him in a south Nashville neighborhood.  Charlie was found by a nice family that took him but cannot keep him because they have older cats.  They would love to add him to their family but it just win't work out.  He's been vet checked,  is current on his vaccines and is in excellent health.  Charlie is full of puppy energy and ready to play ball with the children.  He needs a younger active and energetic family who can  give him the exercise and play that he needs.  A fecned in yard is a MUST for Charlie.  When not playing, by the way ball is his favorite game, he loves to snuggle and get belly rubs. Charlie is patiently waiting for his forever family to find him.  He would be a great family dog and love to have a home for the holidays.  To be considered for his forever fmaily and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.    November 19, 2024, 11:40 am

The right length of time to get her energy out and her exploring nature satisfied. She is learning about it crate and is excited about communicating with you on when her potty breaks are needed.    We anticipate this little girl to be a 45 pounds when fully grown and oh what a beauty she will be!   If you have been looking for a sweet little girl to love and snuggle and play with, please contact critter cavalry rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.

  Our beautiful litter of border Collie mix puppies already to fly the nest the middle of January and Sugar Cookie is so excited!  This beautiful little girl and her litter mates were all born around the end of October, near Halloween.  Their mom is an awesome mix girl that is soft and beautiful with blue eyes. They were discovered during the early weeks of birth being nursed underneath rural is area of Middle Tennessee.  This sweet puppy is being hugged and snuggled everyday by two young children that are 8 and 10 yrs.     The stay at home mom is teaching them house manners and making sure all 6 of the puppies play fair!!!   We think Sugar Cookie is mixed with Aussie and Border Collie and predicted to be 45 lbs.   She is definitely an active breed in need of a securely fenced yard to play and run off energy that a herding breed has.  There are 3 girls and 5 boys all total.  The foster homes have broken down the litter in to groups for easier training. Sugar Cookie is confident and lives with all brothers.  This is making her resilient and capable to hang tough, yet still stay sweet.  If you are interested in this girl please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Are you in search of a one-of-a-kind serial kisser? Well, look no further, because I, Mandy, am the dog you've been waiting for! I come with a mix of awesomeness and a charming personality that's sure to steal your heart. I can be delightfully laid-back, enjoying those calm moments, or I can transform into a bouncing ball of joy when the mood strikes. Walks and jogs? Count me in, especially if you're by my side. But here's the thing-I love playing with other dogs so much that I often choose their company over toys. Let's talk sunbathing. If your couch has that perfect spot for catching rays, you can bet I'll be there, soaking it all in. I'm a big fan of lounging, whether it's under tables, during dinner time, while you're working at your desk, or even when you're cuddled up in bed. I'm all about being close to my people, and if you choose to adopt me, I'll be all about you! I'm a sociable girl, getting along well with other dogs and kids (especially with submissive/non-dominant dogs). My crate training and potty training with a doggy door are top-notch. I'm a pro at commands like going to my crate and sitting patiently. Now, about my diet-here's the deal: I have EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), which means my pancreas doesn't produce the enzymes I need to digest food properly. Thanks to some attentive rescuers and veterinary care, we've got it all figured out. I'll need a specific diet and a pancreatic enzyme replacement supplement to keep me feeling great. Think of it as a special appetizer and entree at every meal. EPI won't slow me down, and I'm ready to trade serial kisses for a loving forever home day in and day out. So, how about it?

Mac is a sweet boy who knows what he wants! He does love to chase and play with animals smaller than him. Due to this we suggest that he does not go home to a family that has cats or things like chickens. Squirrels watch out! This little guy can move! Mac is a ham, you can't see it in his pictures but he LOVES attention :) He is good with other dogs and happy to be a friend or he could be an only dog and BASK in the undivided attention :) He is a lazy boy and does enjoy snoozing and spending time on the couch napping but at the same time can have his moments where he is ready to go. He is housebroken and does just fine in a crate! If he sounds like the boy for you then don't wait!
