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
Nugget came to our family from her dog parents at age 8wks as a gift to my daughter who has anxiety. Nugget was born on 7/11/23. She has always been playful, lovable and loves to snuggle, especially under covers. Loves car rides and trips to the pet store. She is crate trained but suffers from separation anxiety, she takes medication. Her kennel is durable and looks like furniture and is available to go with her to her new home. Along with several bully toys and bones. Once our daughter left for college our other dog became aggressive towards Nugget. To give Nugget a better quality of life we need to re-home her. Nugget stayed for a week over the holiday with 3 dogs, no issues. She's been around kids as young as 2. She's timid around new people then becomes a playful, curious pup. She is small for her mixed breed at 36lbs. She'll make a wonderful pet for someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule. She is a good family dog and is very affectionate.
