Story

Otis is nearly 6 years old. He is a 75 lb sweetheart with a LOT of energy. We love our guy so much, but he has become too much with a toddler and newborn at home. He has started to really act out - - I think he is super jealous of the kiddos. He now grumbles at our toddler and started to bite food out of his hands. I’m nervous that a few nips here and there are just the start. Otis is not the happy guy that we are used to, and he deserves to be the center of someone’s world.

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!

CLEOPATRA SVART

Norwegian Elkhound

Details

Story

We are offering the most regal and unusual Norwegian Elkhound female, named Svart (meaning dark in color) but we prefer to call her “Cleopatra”. This gorgeous girl is the leader and Queen of them all. Regal and fully confident, she is everything we know Cleopatra to have been back in her days of making history. She is the epitome of a queen that is full of reigning power in her breeding pack. This 5.5 year old girl is gorgeous and is 65 pounds. Undeniably in charge , Cleopatra Svart insists on being the focus of your family’s life. She can live in peace with other dogs but we don't think she would be good at dog parks with dogs rushing up to her face with no introduction. She is happy with all the humans she meets and she is part of a large pack of breeder dogs that her owner is asking Critter Cavalry Rescue to help place. She is downsizing and getting out of the breeding business. Our Svart AKA Cleopatra, needs a place of her own inside a home with her dog bed throne to await her. If you are interested in this regal queen, please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com She is ready for YOU to walk her down the red carpet to her new home. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.

Story

Gregarious Gail, as we call her, is just 21 months old and is a true beauty of a pure bred Norwegian Elkhound. She possesses all the wonderful traits through and through. Gail is a special girl because as a puppy she had an infection that caused her to lose her tail and two toes on her back feet. She is so cute with the shorter tail and it hasn't slowed her down a bit. In fact, Gail is a very active and athletic lady who can jump, run, spin and play. Gail hasn't had much of a start in life and she deserves much more. She is outgoing and very sweet and just a touch shy at first when she meets new people and new situations. Critter Cavalry rescued her an overwhelmed Elkhound breeder and has promised this loving, loyal and friendly girl, to give her a family that will recognize her special bright spirit. She gets along well with others and goodness just look at that beautiful face. She is going to make some person or family so very happy. This rare breed is known for being extremely loyal, intelligent and sensitive. If you are interested in owning a breed that is fast becoming rare in the U.S. then please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com She is ready for a fresh new start to her young life. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.
