German Shepherd Dog

Female, 3 yrs 3 mos

Nashville, TN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Calista is a beautiful, crazy, playful, rambunctious 2 year old German Shepherd. Found out in the woods in Rio Grande Valley with her mom and sister fending for themselves and trying to survive the coyotes. She was very skittish when she arrived at the rescue, and at times can still be, but she has come a long way. She gets excited and does a crazy spin in her excitement. She loves playing with other dogs, loves treats and playing with her foster siblings. She really needs a patient person who knows the breed and is willing to work with her and have the dedication to wait until she shows her very silly side :) Her foster mom has learned her secret- treats and smelling like hot dogs/ peanut butter helps! Calista loves other dogs and gets along great with her foster homes pack. She is playful and energetic with them. Sometimes maybe too energetic as she can be an escape artist and find even the smallest of holes in the fence to see if she can fit and make a b-line to the neighbors house! Calista will need to stay local to Texas for the time being. Each day she is gaining confidence and understanding and realizing that people are not all mean and that there ares some out there that really do love dogs and want nothing but goodness for them. If you think you are ready to give Calista love, attention and help her build trust and confidence in herself and you then please apply! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX only)

Story

Here's what my humans say about me: Beau is a high energy, love to run and play pup who adores attention of all varieties! He especially loves walks and hikes and will tree a squirrel every time! He loves to play, but the moment he knows your gonna pet and love on him, he will drop to the ground and roll over so you simply cannot forget to rub his super soft belly! Beau went to a puppy boarding training school at 5 months for two weeks and can sit, stay, place, and heel. He will do just about anything for a treat! His favorite treats are frozen Greek yogurt with blueberries, peanut butter filled apples, and sweet potato! Beau spends his days in a fenced backyard and his nights in a crate indoors. We're sad that his human has to relocate for school and can't take Beau with him, but we are hopeful you are just the right human for Beau!

Story

Rex is one of those happy go lucky, loveable German Shepherds that is a rare offering in the rescue world. A two year old, 70 pound young dog that is a victim of divorce. Like children, he is having to adjust to a new lifestyle and he must be rehomed due to his dad moving in with parents who are already at their limit for dogs. Everyone is heartbroken. Rex loves everyone and is good with cats, other dogs and adores meeting new people. He is housebroken, crate trained and not a nervous nelly like some Shepherds can be. He is still growing and can stand to add a few more muscular pounds as he becomes a more mature adult dog. Broken hearted is what his owner will be when he goes but Critter Cavalry Rescue has promised to find the perfect Shepherd savvy home for him with a fenced yard, and someone with the time and stability to give this boy all he deserves in life. Rex is an eager and easy student to train to be a family’s “everything” dog. Rex needs a strong leader who will give him boundaries. He is good wtih other dogs but will try and be the alpha at first. Not good with cats because he wants to chase for play. Please know this breed before asking to adopt. They are dogs that cannot be ignored and left alone for 10 hours a day. They love challenges that are both mental and physical. Rex is a love of a dog, with no aggressive tendencies at all. He is a true treasure for his breed.

Belgian Malinois German Shepherd Dog

Male, 4 yrs 10 mos

Nashville, TN

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Ranger, the intelligent and active Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and boundless energy. This handsome boy is a fast learner and has mastered essential commands like sit, down, wait, and shake. He's so clever that he tackled a level 3 puzzle on his first try! Ranger is a well-behaved and well-trained pup, making him a pleasure to have around the house. He's house trained, crate trained, and shows no signs of destructiveness indoors. However, he does experience some separation anxiety when his human leaves the house, which is why he's kept in his crate during errands. But don't worry, when he's playing in the backyard with his furry friend, he's perfectly content and doesn't exhibit any separation anxiety. Ranger is an active boy who loves going on walks, and he'll gladly accompany you on all your outdoor adventures. While Ranger is intelligent and affectionate, he can be barrier reactive, meaning he may react when he encounters certain barriers or boundaries. Patience and positive reinforcement training can help him overcome this behavior. This is very typical behavior for both breeds and he absolutely has to be adopted into a Mali/GSD knowledgeable family/ Ranger was in pretty rough shape when rescued and the vet initially thought he had an intestinal disease. Nothing was definitively diagnosed but the vet believes he has small intestinal issues. He is on a folate vitamin daily and will just need annual lab work and a high quality RAW FOOD diet. Ranger's charm and charisma shine through in the photos and videos provided, capturing his playful and loving nature. If you're looking for a smart, active, and affectionate companion, Ranger is the perfect match. Give him the love and care he deserves, and he'll reward you with loyalty and companionship like no other. 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)
