Story
What my Foster says about me ; Miss Gloria is truly a one of a kind. She is a tiny girl with a heart that's a big as the sky. She absolutely loves to be with her people and is the funniest happiest girl I've ever met. Her favorite thing is ball time in the yard and after about 15mins she is ready for a nap. She enjoys short walks around the neighborhood and is amazing with her leash skills. Gloria is completely house & crate trained and is nondestructive in the home. She is a very loving girl who loves to cuddle and curl up over a good movie. Gloria is a very smart girl who will wait for her food and she is the master at sit and stay She loves to sleep curled up in bed with you, but she is also perfectly fine sleeping in her kennel through the night. Miss Gloria does need to the be only dog in the home, but she does do very well in a pack walk At 35lbs she is so full of life and love that having her as your only dog is ok because she will fill your day with all the love and laughter you need. Miss Gloria also adores children and has been wonderful around all children she has met. This girl is a lover of all food but if you ask her what her favorite is well its definitely going to be sardines. There is nothing this girl wont eat. Gloria would be a perfect girl to add to any family that is ready to be loved , have some laughs and love a little meatball who's love for people is bigger than her entire body. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
Natty, fka Nautica, is a sweet senior girl who's found her home in fospice care with a wonderful foster mom. Being in fospice means this girl isn't available for adoption but has found her forever with us and her foster mom: we'll ensure she'll have everything she needs in her golden years (food and vet care appropriate for her age) and her foster mom is showering her with all the love and attention. If you'd like to help us ensure Natty is living her best life for as long as possible, please consider donating for her care! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Story
Daisy is a sweet, playful pup full of energy. She's being fostered with a senior dog, and trying really hard to become friends, but he's no match for her energy. She did really well at her temporary fosters and her two foster siblings, who were closer to her in age. They took walks together, played and napped together. Daisy would love to have a playmate in her forever home. She's been working hard on mastering her leash skills, SIT, STAY, and keeping all for paws on the floor when meeting new people. She's a smart cookie. ADOPTION DISCLAIMER: At Perfectly Paired Pitties (P3), we aim to provide accurate information about all of our animals to the best of our abilities.

Bailey is a bouncy and affectionate pup who's always ready for a cuddle, belly rub or a game of tug-o-war. This young boy loves meeting new people and is always eager to shower them with affection. He's a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs and cats. He's even respectful of his feline housemate, despite the cat's playful antics. Bailey is a quick learner and loves mental and physical stimulation. He enjoys going on walks and exploring new places. While he can sometimes get a bit overexcited, he's always willing to learn and improve his manners with a little guidance. Bailey would thrive in a home with someone who can provide him with plenty of love, attention, and training. Can't adopt or foster?

Ace is looking for home where he can be a best friend to whomever. He is experienced with other dogs, cats, and even lizards. He’s definitely a big goof ball. If you have children kids will love him. Those who have a space where he can run around or a nice yard would work great for him too. I have found myself giving more time to my job than Ace. And I know he deserves better. I’m not charging anything I just want him to go to a good home he has a lot of love to give .

Story
We are sadly looking to re-home Ruthie, our beautiful, cuddly lapdog whose loud, ridiculous tail wags always bring a smile. We are heartbroken, but it’s become clear that she shouldn’t be in a home with a toddler or another dog. Ruthie is incredibly sweet and absolutely LOVES attention from adults- she is just too unpredictable to be around small children and unfortunately struggles with resource guarding around our older dog. She may do much better with older kiddos who are good with boundaries and have the energy to keep her busy. Ruthie is a big girl (70 pounds) but doesn’t know it and loves getting into our laps for pets. She is a huge fan of playing fetch outside but doesn’t really care for walks (very low maintenance lady!). Please reach out if you or anyone you know might be able to provide a more Ruthie-friendly home. We adore this girl and know she can thrive away from the stresses of having a little brother and a big sister to compete with.

She is a very sweet dog. She loves attention and being around her owner. She rarely barks. She loves giving and receiving love. She is greedy so you can’t free feed her because she will eat it all in under 5 mins. A schedule once in the morning and once at night will be okay. She also loves kids not so great with cats at all and not good with female dogs.

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!

Story
Smitty is a sweet soul. He longs for and demands cuddles and pets. He likes to go for short walks. He likes all kind of toys, stuffed toys, balls, ropes, bones, he is still trying to figure out the puzzle toys, he simply pops off the pieces covering the treat instead of sliding it over. He enjoys sitting outside with you for some fresh air Smitty is not reactive, he's very calm with other dogs although he does enjoy a little rough and tumble and what we call big mouth. He is very smart and strategic but gets along very well with Coco (Amer. Bulldog). They cuddle up together, play together, follow commands together, walk together. He is also not aggressive towards cats. He just looks at them and otherwise ignores them. He has a lot of puppy left in him but is eager and willing to learn. He does jump up on people and can be a bit nippy so young children would not be best for him. He really enjoys to nap after a walk or a run around outside. Overall he is a lovebug that expects attention and pets from every one he meets. He's very laidback once comfortable

Story
Herbie is a lovable 70-pound Boxer mix with a heart full of gold. About a year old, he was found wandering the back roads of Tennessee without a collar or microchip, battling a tough case of mange. While no one has come forward to claim him, Herbie is now looking for his forever family! His skin is healing beautifully, and his sweet, curious nature shines through more each day. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Herbie enjoys his daily walks and is getting better at leash manners. He’s also learning to curb his excitement when greeting people! He’s great with other dogs and, after playtime, is happy to sit quietly by your side. He hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, but we think his gentle personality would be a great match for the right home! Critter Cavalry Rescue is a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) that travels to the Northeast states weekly, helping high-risk homeless animals like Herbie find loving homes. For more info on our mission, adoption fees, and drop-off points, visit us at CritterCavalry.com! &#226&#156&#168 Could your family be the one Herbie's been waiting for? &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to request an adoption application.  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 11, 2024, 7:28 pm
