Story
***Out-of-Town Pet*** McLovin is currently in Crosby TX but is available to be transported to his forever home! Allow me to introduce you to McLovin, a charming and spirited pit bull-lab mix who will celebrate his 2nd birthday this coming January. He has a striking pure white coat adorned with tiny black dots at the very tips of his ears, which adds a unique touch to his appearance. More than just a pretty face, McLovin possesses an incredibly sweet disposition and a lively personality that makes him a joy to be around. McLovin's journey began when we rescued his mother from the streets, just one week before she gave birth to a litter of nine adorable puppies. From day one, we have lovingly cared for McLovin, who is the last remaining puppy from his litter. Unlike his siblings, who all found their forever homes through various adoption events hosted by another rescue, McLovin was adopted as a young puppy but sadly returned to us after only a few days. His new adopters felt that he was experiencing depression and insisted it was best to bring him back. However, it's important to understand that this response was completely normal; having spent his whole life in our care, McLovin was simply struggling to adjust to a new environment. In hindsight, it seems that it was fortunate for McLovin that he was returned, as it became clear that his previous adopters did not possess the patience or understanding required for a deaf dog. This handsome and lovable boy is now in search of a dedicated forever home where he can thrive and grow alongside a caring family. Despite his deafness, McLovin is not held back in any way. He is an energetic and playful dog who enjoys frolicking in the yard and exploring his surroundings. He eagerly engages with new friends, both human and canine. McLovin has an impressive eagerness to learn, and he responds enthusiastically to my silent commands communicated through hand signals. He has mastered several tricks, including sitting on command and giving high fives. Although he makes a genuine effort to stay in one spot when asked, his affectionate nature often leads him to seek out cuddles, hugs, and kisses, which is a testament to his loving spirit. Finding McLovin a remarkable and patient forever home is my ultimate goal, as he has so much love to give. If you are interested in bringing this sweet boy into your home and heart, please don't hesitate to reach out for more information or to arrange a meet-and-greet. Thank you for considering giving McLovin the loving family he truly deserves! If you're ready to welcome this sweet, handsome boy into your home, please fill out the form through the link below, and we’ll get back to you promptly. https://form.jotform.com/241765023842152 As part of our adoption process, we are committed to ensuring that this is the perfect match for both you and the animal. Finding your forever best friend is our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us to facilitate this important decision. When introducing other animals in your home, we strongly recommend a thoughtful and gradual approach with all of our rescues. Keep in mind that not all dogs will get along. They have their own preferences, just like people do. The same goes for interactions with children; it's crucial to prevent overwhelming the adopted animal during the first meetings. Take the time you need to assess how they interact. Please be aware that all adoption fees are classified as donations to support our mission and organization. If the dog is returned for any reason, the donation will not be refunded, as we will incur costs for their transportation back to us. Thank you for your understanding and for making a difference in the life of a rescue animal!

Meet 7 Year Itch, a spunky and lovable goofball with energy to spare! This excitable boy was found as a stray and is now ready to find his furever family. He's super friendly and loves his people, but would do best with kids 10+, since he is still learning his manners. Itch needs a dog-savvy adopter to help him learn the ropes and burn off that youthful enthusiasm with plenty of training and exercise. Bonus, he loves to play with other dogs! No feline friends for him though. Ready to scratch that itch for adventure? Email christy.hemsworth@rva.gov to meet this happy-go-lucky guy today!

Meet The Gobbler, a quirky and lovable pup with energy to spare! Found as a stray, this gal has a playful streak a mile wide and a goofy, spazzy playstyle that keeps her doggy friends on their toes. She's a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she's all tail wags and wiggles! Gobbler would do best with kids 10+ who can help her channel her excitement; she gets a bit mouthy when overstimulated. On the bright side, she seems house-trained and is ready to bring her friendly, bouncy spirit to a furever home. Email christy.hemsworth@rva.gov and gobble her up quick! This gal's a gem!

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

Meet Snow! &#226&#157&#132&#239&#184&#143 Snow has been waiting over a year to find her perfect home, which is hard to believe because she’s an absolute gem! This five-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart will melt your heart with her warmth, love, and affection. Snow adores people and thrives on companionship. She’s calm and cuddly most of the time, with bursts of playful energy when the mood strikes. While she’s a total lovebug, she can be a little cautious around some men, needing a moment to feel comfortable. Snow currently shares her foster home with two other dogs—an 80-pound male and a 23-pound female. She gets along well with other playful dogs and has even befriended a 100-pound male Lab after a little time to adjust. She’s confident, a bit sassy, and isn’t afraid to let her diva side shine when she knows what she wants! Snow would thrive in a home with a six-foot privacy fence where she can safely enjoy some outdoor time. If you’re looking for a devoted cuddle buddy who will bring joy and warmth into your life, Snow might just be the perfect match. Who’s ready to give Snow the loving forever home she deserves? If you are interested in adopting Snow, please fill out an application today!December 11, 2024, 7:53 pm
