Story
Merle is a sweet gentle giant! He will stay right by your side even without a leash! He would do best with older kids (just because of his size) and limited number of additional pets. We have 3 dogs, he’s best friends with 1 but aggressive towards the youngest dog if it gets near me. He’s a very sweet protective boy.

Story
Meet Freya, who was recently adopted from us by a very loving man, but sadly, he passed away in an accident a short time ago. She originally came to us from the community, as she was found abandoned in a trailer in SC. Freya a 1.5-year-old, 85 lb., Great Dane who is extremely loving. She is a little sensitive to loud noises at the moment and will remove herself from the situation. But we feel this is due to her being a scared right now because she's lost the dad and home she was comfortable with. She is currently being fostered by a friend of the dad and they tell us she's such a good girl and they are singing her praises. They told us that while she is a little skittish, she warms up quickly with treats. Freya is affectionate, gentle, housebroken, crate trained, great with kids, and great with other dogs. Freya is wonderful on leash and is respectful of letting the human go first versus pulling out the door. She is spayed and is current on her vaccinations. If you would like to meet this precious girl, please send us your email address to obtain an Adoption Application.

Story
Quick Facts: Estimated Birthday: 1/24/2023 Breed: Great Dane Mix Size: roughly 105 pounds House Trained: Yes Athena came to the rescue after an amazing bystander overheard her owners planning to dump her at a dog park! This hero bystander jumped in and contacted us about taking in the dog. Athena Darla may be a big girl, but she only has two speeds: 1. Play hard with other dogs, and 2. cuddle on the couch with a chew toy. Her favorite activity is playing with her foster dog brother, who is roughly about her size. She loves to cuddle with him and run in the yard with him. She is also a trained shadow to humans and will follow you around the house. A true definition of a velcro dog. Athena Darla is very dog-friendly to both large and small dogs. She walks well on a leash but does not enjoy car rides. She won’t fight it, but it’s her least favorite activity. She has not been cat tested at this time. Athena Darla is fully potty-trained, but she will be resistant on rainy days. A girl can't get her paws wet. Athena Darla does best crated while unattended for her safety. She can be a bit nosey and gets into things. She will need a heavy-duty crate in her forever home. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Athena Darla is $465 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only.

Story
Blossom is our little…. Let us rephrase that…. BIG beautiful Blue Merle Great Dane girl that will delight any Dane loving family! She was born a year ago and her mom died shortly after giving birth and she and her siblings were bottle fed by the owner of her mom and dad. This girl spent the first year of her life in this home with a Dane brother and her Great Dane father.  Soon the elderly owner realized that having so many large dogs in her care were just too much to handle.  She was not able to properly feed everyone and to maintain their care and get everyone spayed and neutered and all shots done.  The love of this kind woman shows through so clearly in Blossom’s spirit and she is kind, and loving and sweet and gentle with all the new friends she has made on the foster’s farm.  Her owner gave our Critter Cavalry Rescue foster her two young Danes to find special homes,  Neville is her brother.  She lives on a fun little hobby farm where Blossom has now learned how to live with a pig, some horses, a few cats, a donkey, visiting grandchildren who are young and dog savvy and the things that used to scare her at first are now just a part of her every day joy to live amongst.  She is still cautious At first on meeting new animals or people.  Soon she warms up and make close friends with everyone.  She is graceful like an Antelope and almost as fast.  Her favorite Thing to do is run in the field with her dog friends.   She is the fastest one running amongst them all.  She trusts her environment and all that live there and at night will plant herself in front of the TV and curl up at her the foot of her foster mom while she winds down from her farm life busy day.   Blossom is a prize indeed.  If you are interested in this gorgeous Blue Merle Dane who is one year old and weighs 95 pounds, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at 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.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

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.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm
