My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

There are German Shepherds offered every day in the rescue world.  This boy named Buck is one of the truly “special” ones.  He was found as a stray in East Tennessee and taken to a nice Humane Shelter in Sullivan County.  He was a big yet unweight 92 pound boy who left quite an impression on people who came to visit the shelter.  Soon he left the shelter and went home with someone.  One week later they brought him back.  This 18 month old boy had a little bit of anxiety and the woman just could not handle that even for a few weeks of allowing him to settle in to this new home.  He was great with her other Shepherd but he had separation anxiety when she left.  Honestly, all Shepherds have a touch of anxiety in their protective traits that God made them to be.  They are vigilante and concerned for their humans that they want to love and protect.  Back to the shelter Buck came. He was fine in his kennel run. And soon Critter Cavalry Rescue had found a very “special” foster couple who know the breed very well and know how to work with polishing the kinks out of them.  Now this boy is in the hands of skilled and loving fosters.  He is shining faster and brighter than we ever dreamed.  He walks like he has been leashed trained and in school to learn.  He heels like he has been doing it all his short life.  Maybe he did at one time, but we do not know.  We have discovered that he is extremely smarter than most Shepherd that this couple have encountered in their ownership days or even fostering in the past.  Buck is exceptional and they are bringing out every nugget of gold that this boy has in his soul.  He is needing to be a 100 pound dog and is not far off.  He has good breeding in him and his intellect and embrace all that is being taught to him is indeed exciting to see unfold.  He has great things in his future and we are looking for that great family or person or couple to adopt him.   We do request that the adopter have a deep and impressive knowledge of the German Shepherd breed and skills for training and reinforcing a daily routine.  We are looking for a strong commitment to Buck as we know he will be committed to a forever family if he has the chance.

He is housebroken and learning the bell method to alert when wanting to go out for bathroom breaks. His foster family is ready to speak in depth about how extraordinary this boy is.  Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and mention where you life; city and state.

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.

More about this rescue

We are a group of dedicated rescue people who want to save as many dogs and cats from the local shelters before they are euthanized. On the average....there are only 1 out of 10 animals that get adopted from a shelter. We are dedicated to helping increase pet adoptions by offering a shelter animal a foster home to go to while awaiting an adoptive family to find them on our Petfinder website. Won't you please adopt a shelter animal? Or won't you please help us foster a shelter animal while we are looking for their perfect home? What a gift you can give a dog or cat by giving them a place to feel safe and secure....a forever home or a foster home. Won't you help us at Critter Companion Rescue give them a chance to have a life?
