Story
    Big Boy. Big Heart. Big Cuddles. Meet Bear.   Bear is the kind of dog people dream about finding. He’s healthy, well-mannered, deeply loyal, and full of love—he simply needs a new home because his family is relocating and sadly cannot take him with them.Born August 25, 2023, this handsome 90-pound Boxer boy is the total package. His parents are AKC registered Boxers, and while Bear isn’t registered himself, he has all the best qualities of the breed. He is neutered, microchipped, fully housebroken, and wonderfully smart. Bear will even let you know when it’s time to go outside—or when bedtime has arrived.   Bear’s personality is where he truly shines. Every morning starts the same way: a giant Bear hug. He absolutely adores his family and believes the best place in the world is curled up close to his favorite humans. Despite his size, he is convinced he’s a lap dog and will happily drape himself across you for cuddle time.   While he loves his family endlessly, Bear is a little reserved when meeting new people and likes to take things slow. Busy environments and crowded stores aren’t really his style. He currently lives on a farm and enjoys the calmer side of life where he can focus on what matters most—his people.   With other dogs, Bear is a social butterfly. He enjoys canine friends and especially loves playing chase in the yard or at the dog park. Toys aren’t really his thing, but he will occasionally chew on a bone and then happily stretch out on his bed for a long nap.   Bear is great with children and other dogs, listens well, and already knows his basic commands. He rides nicely in the car and enjoys going on walks with his family.   At the end of the day, Bear is exactly what his name suggests—a big, lovable teddy bear who thrives on companionship and loyalty. The perfect home for Bear will appreciate his affectionate nature, give him time to warm up to new people, and enjoy having a devoted best friend by their side.   If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a huge heart and an even bigger cuddle factor, Bear may be the perfect dog for you.   To learn more or apply to adopt Bear, please emailCritter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com 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.comMarch 13, 2026, 11:17 pm

Story
Ruthie is a 2-year-old, 60-lb Boxer mix with a gentle soul and a brilliant mind. Before coming into rescue, Ruthie lived on her own for at least 6 months, skillfully evading capture, multiple trapping attempts, and surviving in an industrial area of town. Fed by kind mechanics and workers, she learned how to stay safe, avoid danger, and always show up for food — and that intelligence still shines through today. After a dramatic capture, Ruthie has been in a foster home, where she’s proven to be a very polite houseguest. She is fully house-trained and, even at her scariest moments, has never shown a hint of aggression — no growling, no raised lips, just fear. Ruthie is shy and deeply cautious with people, but she is sweet, gentle, and incredibly observant. We would not be surprised if Ruthie spent some of her life in someone’s home.  This brainy girl reads the room like a pro. She knows when a human might approach and will quietly skedaddle to keep herself feeling safe. While she’s still very nervous about leashes and handling, she allows most people to gently scratch her muzzle, and she’s learning — slowly but surely — that human touch isn’t such a bad thing. Watching her progress has been incredibly rewarding, especially as she’s started to enjoy ear scratches and soft affection from her foster mom. Ruthie is a great pack dog. She does beautifully with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and enjoys playful wrestling with dogs her size, but doesn’t demand play.  She happily coexists with the resident Chihuahua in her foster home. Ruthie is calm and content indoors and also enjoys a daily visit to the dog park. She’s a quiet presence who’s perfectly happy lounging on a chair, listening to her foster mom’s Zoom calls, and soaking in the safety of home life. At home, Ruthie is her foster mom’s quiet shadow. She sleeps in her room, wiggles with excitement when she comes home, follows her around the dog park — and yet may still hop off her bed and slip away if that same foster mom walks toward her for a pet. With Ruthie, trust is built in tiny, meaningful moments, and every day brings progress. Because of her history, Ruthie is a high flight-risk dog, especially in the early days. She will need a very committed adopter with a securely fenced yard, experience with fearful or flight-risk dogs, and a willingness to use safety tools like GPS collars, double leashes, and secure handling. Strength matters too — this is a 60-lb girl who needs someone confident and prepared. Ruthie has been around children at the dog park and treats them like little adults — with polite, reserved hesitation. She is food-motivated, sweet, and incredibly smart. With patience, structure, and time, she has all the makings of a truly special companion. Ruthie is one of those dogs who, with the right adopter and a few committed months of trust-building, will become a dream dog. Watching her finally relax, feel safe, and just be a dog has been an absolute privilege — and we can’t wait to see her find the forever home she deserves. ccrnewengland@gmail.com 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.March 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

He never pee or poop inside , always asks to go outside when needed. Loves to stay with people and try different foods. Never chews stuff or rips any couch. Recognize stranger and bark if someone comes to the door. He loves cats and dogs and play with them . He loves to walk , run and play with the ball . He stays quite calm in the car and doesn’t run away from home or when outside . I like to him stay with a family that take care of him and do not leave him alone all day.
