This handsome senior boy is Chewy! Chewy was adopted from the NSPCA back in 2020 and was recently returned. Chewy is a very sweet old man who would love nothing more than a comfy couch to lie on and a friend to cuddle with. Chewy would prefer a laid back home with no children as in his senior years he prefers to live a relaxing and calm life. If you are looking for an older dog to snuggle on the couch and watch tv with, Chewy might be the one for you! Come see Chewy and his friends today!

Story
Active Axel is a handsome golden male German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees mix who was born on February 11th, 2023 and is still a puppy in every way. He is one of six siblings that survived from a litter of 12. Our guy Axel weighs approximately 90 lbs, and is very GSD smart loving to be next to his humans.  This huge puppy is full of energy and he will fit perfectly in a home where there is a lot of activity, a fenced yard and people who love the BIG DOGS! He really likes walking, hiking, and just a ton of fun with activity. He also loves water and treats the water trough as his own personal spa. We recommend a home with a fence that is a minimum of 5 feet tall.   We do not suggest he go to a home with small children, or farm animals simply because he has no experience with them.  He hangs with his siblings and does well playing with them and also just enjoying their company.  He does need to eat separately for dinner as he protects his food from the other dogs due to early starvation. Handsome Axel is fully vetted, neutered and microchipped and he is kennel and crate trained for quiet time.  This boy needs some time and attention from a caring and dog savvy owner.  He would love to cuddle with you and be your adored companion.  He has such potential…..such love and such a need to grow and evolve into a fine companion in life.  Please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in this big baby!  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.comNovember 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
Gemma is our super smart and happy German Shepherd girl that is a real gem of a dog. This girl is 6 years old and weighs in on the smaller side of a GSD at just 60 pounds.  She is a genuinely curious and happy girl that has all the right measures of playfulness and lazy cuddly time to her personality.  Her favorite things are stuffed toys and tennis balls. This girl is a 'chill' girl and loves to take lots of naps during the day. She has great manners, knows basic commands, is crate trained and housebroken.   She would do great in a home with or without other dogs but we are told that she is a NO CAT type of dog.  She would like to hang out with children older than 10 years of age and on the calm side.  Gemma is ready to find her forever home where she can greet you with her tail wagging and a happy face that lets you know you are important in her life.   If you are interested please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@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.  November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
This boy is called Kowboy Kirby and he is a one-year-old 65 lb black and tan German Shepherd who doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body about anything or anyone. He is clueless as to why he should be, so he isn't. Kowboy Kirby is just kind of a goofball that is intelligent and needs to continue to have someone surround him with good guidance and boundaries and the ability to polish him into a fabulous dog. Training is necessary for any German Shepherd and especially for this young boy who hasn't been trained starting early in puppyhood. Only in the past 2 months has he had guidance and a schedule with consistency. He used to not tolerate a wire crate but now he's fine in a plastic crate and he tolerates that. It will be necessary for him not to be left loose in the house when people are gone. He'll get into too much mischief as most dogs will do. Kirby is really a special boy to be as nice and sweet as he is considering the fact that he was found in the middle of a highway during a rainstorm back in July. It was determined that he actually had been given away by someone at a Walmart. These animals should never be handed around like this, but it seems like it's happening more and more. Kirby is housebroken and he walks really nicely on a leash if you're consistent doing it everyday. This is a diamond in the rough kind of guy and we are hoping that you will see the diamond and take him home. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com And mention where you live, city and state. We transport outside Tennessee to the Northeast as well as doing adoptions locally where we are located in Nashville. 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 7, 2024, 10:11 pm

Harley did really well in her board and train- she will need a breed savvy owner for proper handling. She likely can have friends if they are the right match- but will likely need to be an only pet.

Story
SLADE - 7 years old, over 100 pounds, adult home only, no other pets, heartworm positive, but shelter is starting treatment.         *He is a big boy who will need an experienced owner.              *He has his quirks and we're going to disclose them right now.                  *He gravitates towards one person and is slow to warm up to others.                      *He has shown signs of guarding toys and food and is nervous with loud noises and vacuums.    Slade is also loving and protective.      *He is smart and learns quickly.          *He enjoys attention and petting from his person.             *Slade is house trained although he has had accidents when given human food.                 *Slade loves to go for walks and he will definitely turn a few heads with his shepherd gait and long fluffy fur.                      *Slade is playful but can be vocal when playing.   Please do your research on gsd's before considering this boy.    If you are experienced with the breed and looking for a new buddy, come on out to meet him.      *He is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see him, please just ask.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 9, 2024, 6:00 pm

Story
Meet Dexter! This little cutie recently came to us with his siblings from another shelter, so we unfortunately don`t have any history on him. Dexter can be a little nervous at first, but he warms up quickly, so we`re sure he`ll warm up to you in no time! Of course he is still a puppy which means all the basic puppy home training will need to be done with the adopter. There are some online puppy training classes that will be included in the $375 adoption fee that will be super beneficial to the both of you! If you`re interested in taking this sweet boy home, please ask a kennel tech for assistance.

Story
THE GAMBIT - 1-5 years old, 75 pounds, no kids.   The Gambit is a beautiful German Shepherd. He stands tall, proud, and regal. He is friendly when he knows you but it could take time for him to completely trust you. He is dog social and loves running, chasing and jumping with other dogs.   Gambit would likely do best with a GSD experienced owner. We all know certain breeds are meant for certain homes and these working dogs require a bit more than your average dog when it comes to training and jobs.   Gambit would be best in an adult home.   He is currently in a back kennel so if you come in and don't see him, please just ask!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 20, 2024, 12:09 pm
