Story
Sonic is ready to get his boom back on! He is a handsome, inquisitive fellow who arrived here way too skinny. Poor pup has been struggling to get good food but now that he’s here, he’s making up for those lost meals. Sonic is a charming, super sweetheart in search of love and affection. And he so deserves that. He has been over the moon happy with all the treats and pettings we are giving him. What a VERY good boy. Can you help Sonic in his quest for soft beds, good meals, fun times and mostly, love? He’s ready to zoom off with you!

Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK.

Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, Lepto and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis.

Story
Herbie is a lovable 70-pound Boxer mix with a heart full of gold. About a year old, he was found wandering the back roads of Tennessee without a collar or microchip, battling a tough case of mange. While no one has come forward to claim him, Herbie is now looking for his forever family! His skin is healing beautifully, and his sweet, curious nature shines through more each day. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Herbie enjoys his daily walks and is getting better at leash manners. He’s also learning to curb his excitement when greeting people! He’s great with other dogs and, after playtime, is happy to sit quietly by your side. He hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, but we think his gentle personality would be a great match for the right home! Critter Cavalry Rescue is a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) that travels to the Northeast states weekly, helping high-risk homeless animals like Herbie find loving homes. For more info on our mission, adoption fees, and drop-off points, visit us at CritterCavalry.com! &#226&#156&#168 Could your family be the one Herbie's been waiting for? &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to request an adoption application.  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.November 11, 2024, 7:28 pm

Story
Male, 1 year old, 57 lbs Meet Roscoe! This spotted and handsome boy is the best friend to anyone he stumbles upon! He loves kids and is extremely gentle with them, and just about anyone who will give him some belly rubs! As a playful boy, he is up for playing with humans and other dogs. One of Roscoe's favorite activities is going for walks. He is the perfect companion, as he has great walking behaviors. When he sees dogs on his walk, he will politely ignore them. He will walk (or run if you take him on a run!) beside you, and will be ready for some cuddles when you return home. Roscoe has almost mastered house training, and will get your attention if he needs to go outside. Most importantly, he will not hesitate to show you his talents, like how he knows "sit, "down and "leave it. This loving boy will even paw at you for more pets during a cuddle sesh! Do you want to meet this talented, lovable boy, Roscoe? Apply to meet him today! Roscoe was sponsored in memory of Anjanette F's wonderful dog Ben, who helped foster 58 City Dogs! Fostering is a critical lifeline to save dogs for those who might not be ready to adopt. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application.

As a young puppy, she landed in a shelter so far south in Texas, it's only 30 miles from the Mexican border - and the shelter routinely has 1200+ animals in its care. Despite having such an enormous number to care for, shelter staff do an amazing job with all their dogs and Rosalie is a great, loving dog and wonderful with other dogs, Unfortunately, there is a massively skewed ratio of available homes to dogs in the area - so her only hope of getting a home is out of state. This is a personal message from her about what she is looking for in a home:'A loving family who can give me plenty of exercise and attention.  I have a playful spirit and enjoy long walks, playing fetch, and exploring new places. My favorite thing is to be around my humans, whether we’re playing or just relaxing together.  Will you make my dreams come true?'  What My Foster Says About Me:  There are also way more dogs in that shelter than there are available fosters in the DC area. This section cannot be completed until she gets up here. If you'd like to foster or adopt her - see below! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption.

This sweetie has all that young-dog energy and is eager to get her own humans for long sniffy walks, romps in the park, and lots of adventures.
