Story
BELLA IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING WITH HER, PLEASE REACH OUT TO PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV.Here is a bit from Bella`s foster:`Bella is a very sweet and sometimes shy girl. She is cautious with new people but as long as they approach her calmly she warms up quickly. She is a cattle dog so she wants to control the chaos around her. She will do best in a chill environment with few people and fewer animals (less chaos). She shows some signs that she didnt come from the best of homes as she sometimes cowers when you move too fast around her. She also has separation anxiety and will need you to be patient and work on it with her. She does well with other dogs that are more relaxed and not in her face. She gets riled up when she`s in the yard and she sees other dogs in the distance or in a yard nearby. She likes to cuddle and enjoys all the belly rub and any love she can get. She loves to run and play and be anywhere her person is.`Hi there, I`m Bella! I`m a cuddly, smart, and gentle girl, but don`t let that fool you - I can be quite the goofball! I love a good laugh and a playful romp. Energy? I`ve got it in spades! Yet, I can be a little shy at times. Loyalty is my middle name. I`m a Cattle Dog, so I`ll need an experienced owner who understands my breed. I get along well with my fellow canines (so long as they are appropriate), so if you have other dogs, that`s great- I`d love to meet them! Adopting me means gaining a loyal friend who will always keep you smiling and active. So, what do you say? Are you ready for a life filled with laughter, love, and loyalty? That`s what I offer. Choose me, and let`s start our forever journey together!*No small children- she can get anxious*Any children who live in the home or frequent the home should be monitored to ensure appropriate behavior around this dog. *She IS good with dogs, so long as they are appropriate and not too rowdy. A dog to dog meet will be required. *She will need to meet with any family in the home to ensure it is a good fit. *Cattle Dog experience preferred.

Story
We are looking to rehome one of our dogs Brodie. He is so sweet but has a lot of anxiety when he is home alone for long periods of time and does not do well with us gone all day for work. We have had him for 2.5 years since he was a puppy. He’s been neutered, completed dog training, is crate trained and house broken. He follows commands like sit, heel, and house (he goes to his crate). He does great on walks and is good with kids. He also has the sweetest underbite and the vet always says he’s the best boy. His ideal home would be someone who works from home or someone retired who is looking for a shadow, because Brodie will follow you everywhere and. We’re really sad to be making this decision but we know he will be much happier in a home without two full time jobs.

Story
This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!. She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport. ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

Story
This handsome red heeler mix puppy is called Ernie and he and his brother Bert and their mom were found in a barn where they had been raised by their stray mother. Their mother was barely hanging on to life. The happy ending to her story is she is living with a wonderful family now and is loved and Ernie is looking for a wonderful family too raise him, love him, and bring his own special joy to. Ernie is a really delightful and well adjusted 6-month-old puppy that weighs 26 lb. He is a friendly little guy that enjoys meeting people and loves to chase a ball and bring it back to you. His innocence and love for life is contagious. He craves being with people that like him and speak kind words to him. He will crawl in your lap and be your best little buddy. His foster mom who raised he and his brother Bert says that he has the best temperament and personality. Recently this little guy went to a yoga class at the YMCA and had so much fun. It was a totally new and unique environment and he handled it with great poise and embraced all of the Zen vibes going on. Ernie is housebroken, crate trained, loves being around other cats and dogs alike and adores children. There isn't a living creature on this earth that he doesn't like. He is learning quite well,  how to walk on a leash and he rides in a car like a pro. He would be a great dog to take for hikes, long walks, outdoor events and adventures, and of course he would be a hit at any family reunions. Ernie is ready to call a family and their home his very own. If you are interested in making Ernie your perfect little sidekick in life, Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJanuary 28, 2025, 12:57 pm
