Story

This handsome bobtailed boy is called Stevie, short for Steve Cropper. He was found on a very hot and dry August day the first of August and honestly he was near death from lack of food and water. The asphalt was treacherously hot and his body was not holding up in all the 100+ degree heat. A kind soul who is in the music industry took him home but honestly could not house him for more than a few days due to heavy travel and being on the road with his music obligations. Some people told him to do just take him to a shelter (they are full) and lie about him trying to bite a child. That way they would take him and put him to sleep for safety of the community. This could not have been the fartherest thing from the truth. A wonderful foster for Critter Cavalry was contacted and she absolutely jumped at the chance to help Stevie. No regrets for one minute that she did either. He is a wonderful 1 year, 50 pound boy that is Lab/Aussie/Pit mix and possesses the most caring heart and kindest spirit. He plays with everyone at the doggie daycare and wags that nub of a tail as fast as he can wag it when greeting people. He is a dog that didn’t deserve to be euthanized when all the options were not exhausted. We know that this smart and playful boy will be some family’s prized possession and love. He is housetrained it seems and he is crate trained as well. He is respectful of other dogs and their space and not once ounce of bad traits exist in this boy. Step right up and let’s consider Stevie for your family or just you if you are single.

Story

Benny- 60 lb, 12 months old, black with white paws, lab/shepard mix Handsome Benny may look full grown but he's still just a playful, energetic puppy! This boy loves to play and wrestle with other dogs, he requires a fenced in yard where the fence is at least 5 ft high so he can run and explore. He needs a doggie playmate. He's agile enough to jump a fence should he want to, even though he has not tried at his foster home. He knows commands like come, sit and paw. Benny is a quiet, very friendly pup and great with people. He looks forward to cuddling up on the couch with his family. We think he would do very well in a two dog household as he does get lonely and bored when left alone. Exercise is a must for this boy so an active family would be great for him. He is fully potty trained. 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.

Meet Sinatra! This sweet 5 year old 50 lb lab mix is the ultimate family dog. He loves everyone and we mean everyone. Whether you have 2 or 4 legs Sinatra does not meet a stranger. This poor boy was put outside by his owner and ignored. It was up to the neighbors to take care of him. After the remnants of Herricane Helene came through Nashville and even then Sinatra was left outside, the neighbors had had enough. They contacted Critter Cavalry and the owner could not surrender him fast enough. Now Sinatra is inside in a wonderful foster home with a great foster mom and her big dog who always welcomes the fosters with a smile and a wagging tail. After two days Sinatra has settled in and become fast friends with his foster brother. Believe it or not this fantastic boy is house broken, walks well on a leash and can be left out in the house. Someone loved him once and it is time for a family to love him again. Sinatra has the softest fur and he loves to be petted. You can't go wrong if you add this boy to your family. Sinatra is ready to find his forever home. Don't miss out on this great boy. To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net. APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. (Sinatra is in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story

Hi everyone My name is Jillian and I am your next Energizer bunny pup that will keep you laughing and keep you active and make you happy that I'm around. I'm a young lab mixed girl that was born August 26th and I am at the perfect age to adopt me and start working on all the wonderful dog manners and habits that will make me the perfect girl. I truly am smart as a whip and a ton of fun. I would love to live with a family that has an adult dog that I can hang out with and have them be my mentor and big brother or sister. I would be fine with cats if I'm introduced to them now. I probably might chase at first just for fun and to make them play with me. Maybe they will turn around and we could have a grand time together. I am learning about crates and I am learning about a leash and I am learning that the world is big and I intend to explore all of it. I am currently 12 lbs and I will probably be a 45 to 50 lb adult dog. I have beautiful black cold shiny eyes with a soft coat of fur that you will love to stroke and pet. I'm looking for a home now and just in time for Thanksgiving. I'll come and snuggle with you too at all the right moments and maybe even share a turkey leg with the right family that has a fenced in yard and athletic people to play with me.

Story

My name is Buddy boy and I am a very sweet and easygoing 12 week old lab mix puppy who is looking for a wonderful family for the holidays. I would love to start off my holiday season getting to know some wonderful kids and mom and dad that I can grow up with. I came from a home that had too many dogs and none of them were fixed. There were several mama dogs with puppies. I was lucky to get out when I did. Me and my sister love to cuddle and we are looking forward to cuddling with humans in the future. I am still working on housebreaking and will need some leash training. I'm just so young and so carefree that my foster mom hasn't really started me on a leash. I am handsome, or so they tell me, and I am going to grow up to be about a 50 lb adult dog.

Story

Hi my name is Curly and I have a great story to tell. I am a good boy that’s shy and unsure at first. People, car rides, and loud noises scare me. So I need a home that is quiet and 1-2 people at most would be best. I do great with other dogs, they bring me out of my shell. I know I’m not for everyone but I am the right one for the special person, who can work with me and go at my slow pace, who won’t get frustrated that the world is sometimes scary to me and I need time and help figuring it out. I really want to be loved and give you love, it will just take time, trust, and understanding. I am kennel trained, house trained, and like the backyard. Leash walks are not my favorite but I am working on that. Since I am scared, I like to be able to go in and out of my kennel when I am scared or just feel like it. If you want a special dog that’s not like everyone else, but will always hold a special place in your heart…. I am your boy! I have been around dogs and cats with no issues. I've also been around kids, but I prefer to keep to myself when little ones are around. I'm also crate and housetrained, neutered, heartworm negative, and have age-appropriate vaccinations!

Story

Hi, my name is Moe! If you are looking for a special dog, you are barking up the right tree! What makes me special is that life started out a little shaky for me and has left me more nervous and scared than the average dog. With time, understanding, patience, and building trust I will open up and be the best companion you could want! As the saying goes, I stick to the 3’s. I need 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks of a consistent routine and time to learn it & 3 months to start feeling at home. At first, I am more comfortable with other dogs and people really scare me, so I would do best with an outgoing friendly dog in the house to show me how to feel comfortable and confident. As time goes on, I get more used to humans but would do best in a single-person home or just a couple (too many people or a lot of children will be too much for me). I like my kennel and my safe dark space. I will come around and hang out more when I trust it is safe. I am kennel trained and working on being better with the leash. If you are looking for an amazing but special dog who needs a little bit of a calmer lifestyle, I am your man!!!! Email your phone number to rockcityrescue@gmail.com for more info!

Story

Friends is back! Most of the cast anyway 😊 Rachel, Monica, Ross and Chandler are ready to love their way into your lives. These sweet babies are lab mixes who were found on the street by a local animal control, dodging out of traffic and on the verge of getting run over. The shelter was full, so they contacted us to help. We knew we could not leave the babies out there, so we got them to safety in a foster home Our friends crew consist of 2 males and 2 females that we estimate were born around June 24th and are some of the gentlest, butt wiggling puppies. They are so excited when they’re around people. They just love everybody they meet, including children. They could run around the yard and play for as long as you’d let them, as long as they’re around their people. They love to be your shadow and get lots of pets. They’ll roll on their bellies in excitement, hoping you’ll rub their bellies. As of 9/24 they weigh between 10-15 lbs. While we do not know who their parents are, we believe they’ll be around 45-50 lbs once full grown. Their paws are not very big. They are working on house training They LOVE other dogs and have met inside and outside kitties and have no issues with them. Rachel is the runt of the litter, she is a little bottle rocket, always on the go and so full of energy and zoomies. She is one of the most outgoing of the litter. She LOVES her treats and is very food motivated. She is not picky at all about what she gets, as long as it’s food and love. Once she’s done playing, she will be the first to cuddle up to you, very sweet. Rachel would be best in a more active home. Monica is the 2nd smallest of the litter, and she is much quieter and gentler than Rachel is. She likes to sit back and watch the rest of the litter cause chaos. She is curious but when she tries something out, she makes sure her siblings tried it first, so she knows it’s safe and she won’t get in trouble for it. Very smart. Would do best in a medium active to less active home as she prefers to Netflix and chill more than anything else. Chandler is the 3rd smallest of the litter and the smallest male. He is very similar in personality to Monica – he is calmer and gentler than Ross and Rachel. He has the saddest eyes when he looks up at you, almost worried he’s done something wrong. Chandler likes to explore but he is more cautious about it and lets Ross go first. Another dog in the home would benefit Chandler as he can gain confidence from another doggy. A medium to low key home would be best for this sweet boy. Ross is the largest of the litter, and he is also the only black and tan one of the litter. He is next in line for most outgoing, right behind Rachel. Ross is VERY sweet and rambunctious and loves to play. He is super-duper friendly and will give sweet kisses for days. He is the bravest of the 4 and will try anything first, he has no shame in his game. He loves to explore and go on adventures. Ross would do best in a more active home.

Story

Buddy is a beautiful, 50 lb black lab mix that was abandoned in a school – you read that right, someone took him inside a school, let him off his leash and walked away, never looking back. Unfortunately, Buddy was not microchipped and the person was never found. He is estimated to be 2 years old in December of 2024 – he is neutered, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, microchipped, current on preventions and has a proheart 6 injection (good for 6 months). A good Samaritan that took Buddy in contacted us for help as they’ve had him for 9 months but despite them thinking they were doing him good; he has been tied up to a tree during this time. You will notice in some of his video, he is tied up to a tree. Unfortunately, down here in south Texas, some people view that as an acceptable way to keep a dog. We are very grateful they reached out for help for Buddy, as to no fault of his own he was abandoned to begin with. We have done meet and greets with other doggies with him and he seems to do well with other dogs, big and small! Of course, with any new animal, proper introductions and time play a large part of multiple dogs living happily together. Buddy has met kitties, and he does fine with them, he is curious of what they are. You can see in the video where a dog-friendly kitty was introduced to him and he was more happy to be off his chain and in a home, and he did not even care about the kitty. This beautiful boy LOVES his toys and would love a big yard (and another dog would be great too!) to play with and in. He is the happiest boy, and he loves his humans. The current home has children, and he LOVES them as you can see in the video all he wants to do is play with them. He does need some training to not jump, but this is a behavior that with training, can easily be corrected and stopped. This does go with being bored though – he just wants to get attention and unfortunately, he was getting very little of it. Buddy has so much love to give and is full of potential. He is full of energy, but who wouldn’t be if they were tied to a tree 24/7? With proper training, exercise and stimulation, Buddy will be the BEST dog. He is loyal and just wants a best friend and home to call his own. Please consider giving Buddy what he has not had in a very long time – a family to call his own and a home to sleep in. You can apply to adopt Buddy at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org Buddy is located in Texas and available for transport once adopted – transports leave to the northeast every 1-2 weeks

My name is Milo Magoo and I am a 3 year old Golden Doodle with a birthday that is coming in the next few days… to turn 3 yrs. old. I weigh 80 pounds and I am looking for an attentive and dog training family that will really shape and polish me to be the spectacular dog that I have the potential to be. My current family really has no time to work with me to shape me in to a dog with great manners and emotional control. I am bored in this home and I need physical and mental stimulation and fun challenges to do. I am very happy, sweet, and very active with running and playing. I am a male that is ALL BOY and if I had my wish I would say to adopt me if you have a girl dog in the family. I would love to have a girlfriend for life! When I am bored my favorite, yet dangerous, thing to do is eat socks. So please watch that if you take me home. It is totally out of boredom. Critter Cavalry Rescue is tryng to change all this by placing me in the right home that they will review closely. I am a silver tawny coloring and people just ohhhhh and ahhhhh over the color of my coat of hair. If you would like to adopt me please email right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Mention in the email where you live!!! That helps so much too.
