Story
Meet Rio!**Rio is a delightful Black German Shepherd, estimated to be around 10-12 months old. With his sleek black coat and bright eyes, he’s a striking young dog full of life and energy.Rio has a particular fondness for water; whether it’s a pool, a lake, or a simple hose, he can’t get enough of splashing around. His playful nature makes him a joy to be around, and he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Rio’s friendly demeanor extends to people of all ages, including children, making him an excellent companion for families.Despite his playful and loving nature, Rio’s journey hasn’t been entirely smooth. He was picked up as a stray, but his resilient spirit shines through. Rio is now looking for a forever home where he can share his boundless love and energy.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, water-enthusiast pup who will bring joy and companionship into your life, Rio is the perfect matchIMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats. If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.July 14, 2024, 9:22 pm

Story
Hemi came from our local animal shelter with her puppies (who have already been adopted). She is a sweet girl and loves to play with other dogs. She pulls a bit on the leash but loves to go for walks. She has not been in a home setting, so she would need to be train for indoor manners. Hemi is heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready for her new home! This furbaby is located at Animal Harbor in southern middle TN. You can apply at www.animalharbor.org. If approved, we will facilitate a virtual meet and greet and answer any questions you may have. We partner with the awesome transport service company Rescue Riders to safely and professionally move our animals to their loving new homes!

Story
Sweet Dozer is a 4 month old, mixed breed puppy. He is very well socialized and has been in foster care for a few weeks now and loves people, other dogs, and kids. He is loads of fun, loves to play, and is very smart. Training him and watching him grow up will be an absolute pleasure. Dozer is going to make a welcome addition to his new home. Dozer Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
Our handsome white German Shepherd boy is called Mozilla. Found as a stray in East Tennessee and taken to a local humane society shelter, this 2-year-old boy was quickly adopted by a family that had high hopes for bringing him up with their family. Sadly within a few months the elderly lady died and her husband just could not stand to raise Mozilla by himself. Back to the shelter he came thinner and yet still a happy boy. He is 72 lb and needs to put back on weight. We think he should be an 85 lb healthy hearty beautiful white angel. He lived with a cat and did well and he plays with all the dogs at the shelter in the play yard. He wears a smile and wags his tail every opportunity he gets as he shares his friendship with the people he meets. We are looking for the right home and a forever commitment. If you would like to be that family or person please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com Critter Cavalry Rescue.   We are anxious for Mozilla to have a chance to have his own dog bed and his own people to love forever 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.comJuly 14, 2024, 9:01 pm
