Story
Tall Titan, is a strong and remarkable  Warrior, a dog that has fought to be alive and walking  today on this earth.  He has willed himself to come from the depths of pain and starvation to become this handsome boy that you see right now.  He is our Super Hero Pup and our example of a creature that has never given up even when it would have been easier to just go to sleep and never wake up.  When Titan came to a rescue lady’s house that Critter Cavalry knows, this boy was malnourished and just a skeleton of the puppy he should be as a Great Dane.  The lady has a love for the Danes and she asked CCR to please take him into our rescue before she fell in love and couldn’t let him go.  She had enough dogs and just felt the temptation to keep him was too great.  We agreed and soon Titan was ours to raise and get prepped for a new home and family.  Shortly afterwards his foster family noticed he was struggling to walk and his joints were inflamed. Titan was taken to several vets before receiving the diagnosis of  Hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD). He has been put on a regimen of medications, high calorie food and hydrotherapy and is now running, jumping and playing with other dogs. His favorite things to do are play with toys, run and nap in the sun. Titan is a large dog and will do best in a home with another large dog or two that he will be able to play with. He will continue to need medication intermittently for some time and to be followed by a veterinarian.  If you have large breed dog experience and are willing to take on this fellas special needs please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue. He is not house trained to hold longer than 4 hours.  He needs to eat separately at mealtimes and he needs to learn better how to play with his toys in a group setting if there are other dogs.  If he is the only dog then there is no special monitoring.  Titan rides like a champ in the car or truck and he is definitely crate trained with good dog/name recall.  He would be easier to watch in the yard if you had a real physical fence installed since he likes to wander off out of curiosity.   Please email Critter Cavalry at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.  He is great with young children/boys that are rough and tumble and lots of noise. 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.comSeptember 6, 2024, 6:14 pm

Story
Lucky Lucas is a handsome 4 month old Great Dane/Lab mix puppy that is lucky because he was rescued from a very life-threatening situation during this summer’s heat wave in Tennessee. It was over 100 degrees and he was carelessly tied to a post at the local Walmart during the hot, hot day.  A foster mom for Critter Cavalry Rescue saw his desperate situation and stepped up and took him home.  It seems that this boy was dumped by a homeless man who could not really keep him safe and fed. This foster mom saved his life and we are grateful she had the heart to not turn her back on his need to be saved. No one else cared it seemed that day.  He is now in our care and we are working on getting him fully vetted and ready for a new home.   This handsome boy is a big couch potato like most Great Danes can be and yet he enjoys going for a walk and THEN hitting the sofa.  He also loves to sit by a window and watch the world go by kind of like a cat does. As you can imagine, the bigger the dog, the bigger the heart and Lucas is all about having a wonderful heart.  He is a great movie watching pal and is a pro at bedtime snuggling. He gets along very well with other dogs, cats and children. Look at that face. So kissable!!!   You must consider this boy who will be a 75 pound boy and the best of both worlds…. Great Dane and Lab.  Write to us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and ask for an application.  Tell us where you live: city and state when emailing us. 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.September 6, 2024, 6:14 pm

Story
Meet Titan!! He’s a complete goofy love bug! He absolutely loves his humans. He is huge! Super tall. He loves to lean into you for pets and scratches. He is potty trained and crate trained.  He has been through obedience training. As of now still in it. Loves to play. Walks well on a leash, knows how to come, sit, down and place. He has picked up on his commands very quickly. He wants to do the right thing.  He was sent to training to help him with dog aggression. Per history he was attacked multiple times at dog parks and had a difficult time with dogs since then. Through his training process he is learning how to play and act when in the presence of other dogs. He has played with our more playful dogs without any issue. He does not take correct from a dog well and as of now it can turn into a fight if another dog nips at him because he is too close. If there are not any corrections from the other dog he does extremely well and loves to play! A perfect home for Titan would be a family with bigger kids only due to his size. An active family who is willing to continue his obedience training and pushing him to his full potential. If there is a dog in the home the dog would need to be submissive and playful. They would need really slow introductions, this can be explained in more detail if interested.  Let us now if you are interested or have any questions!! Titan is being fostered in Chesapeake, VA. If you have other dogs we ask you bring them for a meet. If you are out of state, we require you to come to VA where foster is for meet and greet.  ##1884959##
