Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hunter is a gentle 60-pound Pitbull mix with a heart of gold. This strong boy, about a year old, was found running loose on the back roads of Tennessee, but despite his tough start, he's in great shape with a silky black coat. While no one has come forward to claim him, Hunter is patiently waiting for a loving family to call his own! Hunter enjoys his daily walks and is working on not pulling on the leash. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 He’s curious, playful, and loves other dogs! He’s been sharing a pen with a Boxer, though we feed him separately to avoid any food aggression. Hunter does the cutest little dance when it’s time for his meals or walks—it’s sure to put a smile on your face! While he hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, Hunter did have a run-in with a neighbor’s chicken , so he might be best suited to a home without small livestock. Critter Cavalry Rescue is a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) that travels to the Northeast states weekly, helping high-risk homeless animals like Hunter find their forever homes. For more info on our mission, adoption fees, and drop-off points, visit us at CritterCavalry.com! &#226&#156&#168 Are you ready to give this playful boy a chance at a new beginning? &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 &#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 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Story
Harley anne is an extremely sweet girl- we rescued her from dog fighting when she was younger. She is amazing with all humans including kids and babies, but is very dog selective. We would like her new home to be experienced to help give her the attention and activity she needs. She is a fiddler and will take up the whole bed if you let her. We are so sad to be rehoming her and need her to go to a family that will love her as much as we do.

Story
Batman is a 8 year old, sweet dog. He loves people, cuddles, and attention. He was the runt of the litter, so he is not as big as his siblings. We are looking for a home where he can continue to be loved and cares for. Ideally, it would be a home where he would get lots of cuddles, walks, and attention. Although he is good with kids, he gets too excited when meeting new people so little kids tend to get pushed over. He has never snapped at anyone, but he has licked people silly.

Story
This giant guy is Benz! Benz was adopted from back in 2022 and was recently returned due to his high energy level. Benz was originally transferred here with his 3 siblings from PETA as puppies. Benz is a very energetic and loving young man and would need a family that can accommodate his high energy levels. Benz would make a great running and/or hiking partner as he loves to do anything that includes running or playing. Benz would benefit from lots of mental enrichment and/or training as he does become under stimulated easily which causes him to be reactive towards animals and humans if he does not receive the enrichment he needs. If you are looking for a sweet and active dog that needs a little bit work and a lot of love Benz might be the one for you! Come see Benz and his friends today!

Meet Mary Jo, she affectionately known by the staff as MJ. MJ was transferred to us from one of our transfer partners in hopes to find her forever home. Mary has a funky little walk, turns out long ago she had an injury to her hip an her body healed itself with no veterinary care. You would never know, it doesn`t slow her down at all. She still has lots of pep in her step! MJ would love a cozy home with a nice place to curl up at the end of her day with her favorite toy. She is not a fan of small animals, so no cats or small dogs for this girl. MJ has been waiting for her family for far too long, ask about her today!

Story
This large and beautiful man is Chance! Chance is one of many animals that struggle in the shelter environment. His kennel door has become a frustrating barrier between him an people. What you see when you walk up to his kennel is not the dog we know and love. Please ask to meet Chance and you will see what we see in him every day. Chance is looking for a home that can patient with him while he learns to gain confidence and come out of his shell. Chance loves playing catch with treats and playing with tennis balls. Chance would thrive best in a home with an experienced dog owner that can help him gain trust and become the best version of himself which he has been working on since being in our care. If you are interested in taking a CHANCE on our boy come see him today!
