Story
We are so excited to be a part of changing the future for this handsome male Great Dane called Neville.  Recently we were asked to help this one year old fawn colored boy to find a home and to do all the vetting from the ground up. You see, Neville was orphaned at birth when his momma died and he was hand- raised and fed by a woman who dearly loved him and still does. Eventually, she realized she was overwhelmed due to his size and the future of caring for him (she was a senior lady)  and sadly she surrendered him to Critter Cavalry Rescue.   Soon our foster mom who has two Great Danes herself, quickly figured out that Neville had only been around his Great Dane dad and siblings all his life and it was a sight to behold when he met the variety of dogs at this new foster home.  Neville tucked his tail and ran with sheer fright! He has since embraced all the foster dogs, cats, horses, donkeys and pigs as his friends. This special boy doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. And if you know the Dane breed traits, he is all of those and more.  He loves to run and play with all his new dog friends and we think he believes he has died and gone to dog heaven with all these friends to play with. Eager to please, Neville is the happiest when he puts his huge head in your lap to absorb all the love from his foster mom.  He loves to be petted and told how good a boy he really is. He is still a wee bit timid of new things and he will seek out a kind human to lean on for reassurance that all is well.   He is not in the house 24/7, but close to being housebroken all the same.  He has been neutered and we talked his stomach for the prevention of stomach flipping later in life.  This common malady effects the large breed dogs in high numbers and the reality of it happening is huge.  It is costly and often how large dogs end up in the ER at the expense of well over $5000 with no guarantee that the emergency surgery will save the dog.   We try to give this all-important insurance by tacking the stomach to help prevent any future flipping of the stomach.  We know that Neville will be the love of some family’s life if he is chosen.  We will require a fenced yard and someone that does not leave him 8-9 hours daily for work.  Shorter work hours away are fine, but he will be lonely if left crated for 8-9 hours. If you are interested in this giant lovebug please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   He is worth every penny donated to adopt him.  You will see that instantly. 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 14, 2024, 10:09 pm

Story
This sweet dog is an owner surrender. The current family could not afford to keep him and found it difficult to feed him. We naturally offered to help but they were also having to move which new home would not allow dogs. Especially a big one! Opie is an easy dog, very sweet . He is a mix of lab and Dane. He is happy in nature and will be a great dog for any family. RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the New England area and delivered in RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please go to: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com

Story
We know what you're thinking... Yes, Hilda is a Great Dane with a Danish name! This lovable lady is Hilda, and while she is blind, that hasn't stopped her from being the sweet, big goofball we know her to be. Hilda hasn't had the best life before coming to the shelter, but she's ready to make her next home one full of fun and love! Hilda enjoys playing with her toys and romping around the yard. She's quite affectionate, loves to give kisses, cuddle, and soak up all the love she can get. Hilda is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and where she can stick to a consistent routine. Although she is newly blind, she is learning to navigate well and has been learning commands to help her out. A steady routine will be important to help her adjust to her new home. She is looking for an adult-only home. Experienced dog handlers would be a huge plus for this lady as she would have a great deal of learning to do in a new environment. If you're interested in Hilda, give us a call at (603) 472-3647 and press 1 for adoptions to schedule an appointment to meet her!

Story
***Please note: Polly is not at the Animal Rescue League of NH. She is being posted here in hopes of preventing her surrender. For more information, please email caseyleighnimmo@gmail.com Hello there, My name is Polly, but you can call me Pig! My parents love me very, very much. But unfortunately, my big personality has outgrown their multi-dog household. So, I'm on the lookout for a new forever home where I can be the only pup. Now, let me tell you a bit more about myself. I'm an indoor dog (housetrained) and I love to eat. I'm very cuddly and enjoy lazy evenings on the sofa. So, if you love cozy movie nights, I'm your girl! Just be sure to turn up the volume because I might snore a little. Don't get me wrong though, I do enjoy a good play. I'm an avid tug-of-war player and like to chase my tennis ball. I also enjoy short walks, but I can get a bit reactive when I see other dogs. That's why my parents make me wear a muzzle when we're out and about. I should also mention that sharing space with other dogs has been a challenge for me. I get a bit territorial and prefer to be the only pet in the house. I've had a few altercations with another female dog in my household and so my parents decided we better stay apart. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and goofy housemate who will give you gentle kisses and the best cuddles, then I'm your Pig!

These pups are in Boston, Massachusetts too!

Story
Meet Cash! This handsome, sensitive boy takes a while to warm up, but once he does you`ll be in his circle forever. He is looking for a quiet home with people who will be patient wtih his needs. He LOVED his cat friends in his previous home so we think he would do well living with feline friends but would probably otherwise prefer to keep his world small.If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources. For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/ Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
