Story
Bandido is a cute happy little guy unfortunate enough to be born in PR where dogs are too abundant to find loving homes.  His only chance is to fly to the States where he can find a family to love him the way he deserves.  He and his siblings were rescued very young and have been with their care giver for months waiting for their opportunity to come.  These 3 are now 10 months old and between 25-30 lbs.  Leash trained, good pups, used to living with other cats and dogs.  Please put in an application to foster or adopt.   Complete one of our online adoption applications today!

Story
Meet ATLAS! 🐾 This adorable boy has just come into the rescue and has stolen hearts all along the way. His coat is very shiny, healthy and soft. Can you believe those adorable ears? Atlas is approximately 8 weeks. We believe he will be on the smaller side of mid-size dog. You can tell by his personality already that he is going to make someone a wonderful companion. He has the perfect energy one is looking for in a pup. Energy level – not too little and not too much. 💖 Personality: Goofy, playful and energetic. Atlas has a wonderful temperament and gets along great with his foster mates. He is fostering in a home in Memphis, TN and her foster mom would love to tell you all about her. ATLAS is going to be great family companion and he is ready to be your new best friend! 🏡 Ideal Home: ATLAS would do great in a family that has space to roam and explore, and maybe even another doggy sibling to make friends with. He would be fine with another dog or perfectly content to have all the attention to himself. If you are looking for a life-long companion and friend this little doll is perfect for you. If you’re ready to give ATLAS a lifetime of belly rubs, treats, and a cozy bed, please reach out! Let’s find this sweet pup the forever home he deserves. 🐶💕 Once adopted he will travel via the Rescue Transport to her new family. They travel each and every weekend from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east, delivering pups along the way as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make this cutie part of your family please follow the link below to our adoption application. Our turnaround time is typically less than 24 hours so please be prepared before you submit your application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
This handsome boy was born the first of March to a young and small mama dog that weighed 35 lb. There were eight in the litter and they are all beautiful and sweet but they had to raise themselves. The small farm that they were born on had a young man that stayed on the road doing his music. He had no time for puppies. Fortunately, a very devoted rescue woman who knew of their plight contacted Critter Cavalry and we have been in search of wonderful homes for this litter. Mr Buck is a handsome 9-month-old born the first of March that weighs 28 lbs. Buck would be best suited for a family with another dog to play with everyday, and children that are 12+ A fenced yard is a must!!!! He is housebroken and crate trained. Buckis full of spunk and vigor but yet  love and cuddles. He wants nothing more than to be a part of your life and invite you to make him a part of yours. He is  crate trained and leash trained. He gets along famously with older children, other dogs and any adults that he meets. He's not a shy boy, although he has not experienced a lot in life. He still embraces every new thing that comes his way with enthusiasm and interest. He's going to be about a 30 to 35 lb adult boy that is a perfect size for hiking, jogging, condo or apartment lifestyle or even a home with a fenced yard. He is a whippet/ lab mix that will turn heads with his sleek good looks and athletic body. His very handsome face often has a very serious and investigative look on it as he surveys the world and the things that are happening. He often will wear a sweet smile as he enjoys an encounter and conversation with a kind human that is giving him their time and attention. This boy will be an absolute treasure to have in your life. If you're interested in considering an adoption, 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.November 27, 2024, 10:40 pm

Story
Introducing Niabi, the spirited whirlwind of energy and love that's bound to fill your home with laughter and joy! This energetic Whippet mix is a true crackhead foster, always ready to embrace life with boundless enthusiasm. Niabi has mastered the art of kennel training and is well on her way to conquering the potty training challenge. With regular outings, she's quick to catch on and eager to please. High energy is her middle name, and she's more than ready to soak up all the love and attention you can offer. Personal space? That's a foreign concept to Niabi - she's all about being up close and personal! When she's not showering you with affection, you'll find Niabi in the backyard, where she transforms into a blur of motion, racing around with an unstoppable energy. She's also an avid water enthusiast, always up for a splashing good time with the water hose. Niabi gets along with her housemates, though she's known to give them the once-over to size them up. Supervision ensures everyone gets along swimmingly. On a leash, she's eager but pulls with exuberance, a behavior we're working on refining.Chew toys are a must in Niabi's world - she loves them durable and entertaining. And don't be surprised if she engages in solo playtime; she knows how to keep herself entertained. Niabi is versatile when it comes to her ideal home - whether you're her sole focus or you have a furry crew to keep her company, she's adaptable and ready to make your days brighter. If you're prepared for a whirlwind of affection, fun, and boundless energy, Niabi is eagerly awaiting her forever family. Embrace the journey with this vibrant and loving companion - your heart will be forever captivated by her unique charm.
