Story

Rex is one of those happy go lucky, loveable German Shepherds that is a rare offering in the rescue world. A two year old, 75 pound young dog that is a victim of divorce. Like children, he is having to adjust to a new lifestyle and he must be rehomed due to his dad moving in with parents who are already at their limit for dogs. Everyone is heartbroken. Rex loves everyone and is good with cats, other dogs and adores meeting new people. He is housebroken, crate trained and not a nervous nelly like some Shepherds can be. He is still growing and can stand to add a few more muscular pounds as he becomes a more mature adult dog. Broken hearted is what his owner will be when he goes but Critter Cavalry Rescue has promised to find the perfect Shepherd savvy home for him with a fenced yard, and someone with the time and stability to give this boy all he deserves in life. Rex is an eager and easy student to train to be a family’s “everything” dog. Please know this breed before asking to adopt. They are dogs that cannot be ignored and left alone for 10 hours a day. They love challenges that are both mental and physical. Rex is a love of a dog, with no aggressive tendencies at all but he needs to know boundaries and you MUST BE A LEADER to him. He will pace at first in a new environment because that is what GSD breeds do. Change is tough on their intelligent heart and soul. He is a true treasure for his breed. If interested, please contact us at ccrtennessee@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.

Story

Our boy Enzo is looking for that ultimate German Shepherd savvy owner and family who will promise to throw his squeaky toys and balls in the backyard so he can chase them and bring them back for more fun! This two year old 65 pounds boy is just the best boy that is looking for his master that is smart and can offer him boundaries and routine and guidance on how to be the best dog he can be. This boy needs a fenced yard for playing fetch when you throw all those toys. Enzo found himself in a shelter because his owner had no time and resources for him any longer. A sad and frequent situation that so many animals are finding leads to them being deserted. Enzo is SOOOOO SMART! He just wants to please you and wants to be your handsome canine BFF. He is responsive to commands and is a dog that might be best as the King of the house. He does well with other dogs but we think he would thrive at the ultimate level as your only focus and dog in training. He is active, housebroken in his kennel and he is looking for a purpose in life. Healthy and totally vetted, this boy has captured Critter Cavalry’s heart and we are determined to help him find that wonderful forever family or person. If you are interested in this dream boy, please write to us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com We think that cats might be too tempting to chase. He is in Nashville, TN but we do transport to the northeast every weekend. He is available in Tennessee and also in the northeastern states. 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.comMarch 25, 2025, 8:28 pm

Story

This beautiful girl is Ciersi. A survivor who was a shelter favorite at the hendersonville tennessee animal control. Where many dogs would have been euthanized after being in a shelter for 2-3 months, this girl has languished for 8 months, missing the bullet of being put to sleep, simply because she is so very special. At the age of approximately six years old, this 85 pound girl has a serenity and kindness about her that just draws you in. The minute that Critter Cavalry Rescue heard she was in this shelter for 8 months, we knew we had to do something to end this horrible situation. Praise God a foster stepped forward and she is out now, ready for a wonderful reset for her life. This girl has started a journey in a foster home with a caring family that will help her detox from shelter life and start a new chapter. From what we could tell on her intake pictures from Augustvof 2024, months ago, she had a litter of puppies prior to being found as a stray. Mama dogs can be some of the sweetest and most appreciative, nurturing creatures on the planet. This girl has nothing but gratitude written all over her face. She is an easygoing girl with a calm spirit that will be adaptable for many different families and lifestyles. She is housebroken and great with children and other dogs. We can also cat test her if needed. It's Ciersi's time to bask in the new beginning of Spring and the CCR promise of a great new life ahead. If you are interested in knowing more about our sweet freedom bound Ciersi, please write to us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.

Story

Meet Millie May! Quick Facts: Breed: German Shepherd mix Estimated Birthday: 12/11/2022 Size: roughly 80lbs --===================================== Meet Millie May, the girl who has it all - funny, friendly, athletic, curious, and smart! (They do say that variety is the spice of life.) Millie May is a happy, healthy adult dog who loves to play, explore, and make new human friends. Whether it's playing with toys or finding the best spot for a tummy rub, Millie May is always game. She is the ultimate boating buddy and could spend HOURS out on the boat. She loves water and would make the perfect lake dog. If you're looking for a fun-loving, curious, and cuddly companion, look no further - Millie May is the girl for you! Here's to many happy adventures together! Millie May loves a good car ride, chewing on bones & has recently discovered the art of swimming. She is a goofy girl, but maintains her sweet nature while proving how incredibly smart she is through training! She is very food motivated & we encourage her adoptive family to utilize this to invest in obedience training. She does know "sit", "down" & is working on "stay". Millie May has done well with the cat in the home and doesn't pay him any attention. She has not resided with a child, but is a still a big puppy at heart with lots of energy to burn. She sometimes knocks things over & sometimes her feet forget how to feet, and that may include bulldozing children who are less on the durable side. Millie May would do best in a home as an only dog.

Story

Adoption Application: bit.ly/C2CND_App Quick Facts Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 3 years old Size: Currently 50#, but slightly underweight - could stand to gain 5-10#. House-Trained & Crate trained -===== Poco, a mixed breed boy who landed himself in the pound when he was seized from his ”home”. Now his home was the local pound and he was on death row which means he could be killed at any moment likely due to lack of space. (Let me remind you this is NOT the fault of the shelter workers, or volunteers - this is the fault of the trash that treated him like he was nothing more than worthless property). Poco was severely neglected and nearly starved to death. He weighed under 30 pounds when he first entered the system, he was skin and bones. Poco is visually impaired but we don’t know to what extent he can see and we don’t know what caused the issues with his eyes. We brought him into our rescue reassuring him that he is safe now and we will find him the most wonderful family who will treat him like a king. We could tell he was leary and almost a little shut down but we are here to help him overcome any obstacles. -Poco is visually impaired. Do not know extent. - He is learning the outdoors in a fenced yard. He requires a fenced in yard in his forever home due to his visual impairments. -He is currently learning steps and loves to be outside in the sun with his person. -We are currently in the process of introducing to different dogs and is doing great so far! -He does walk on a leash, the use of a halter with a grab handle is useful. Due to his vision impairment the handle halter helps to guide him safely. -He just needs sufficient time to settle into new surroundings. -He has not been tested with Cats. - Due to his previous life, he would do best eating separately as he may steal other dogs food. -He is a gentle soul that simply needs time to bloom. But he is worth every effort! Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Poco is $265 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers appropriate shots, microchipping, heartworm testing, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Our application process includes: a virtual home visit, veterinary record check (please call vet to release current/previous pet records), and a rent check (to make sure pets/breeds are welcomed). Please allow 5-7 business days to finalize the application process. - Local adopters only. Due to us finalizing adoptions at adopter's home, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

Story

Scooter is a very sweet boy, good with children and cats. He does not react to deer, golf carts, walkers, bikers, or small dogs when out walking, but does show reactivity with large dogs by barking and pulling. In the home, he is so lovely, calm, and friendly. He is a very laid back and relaxed dog. He is extremely responsive with treats on walks and his reactivity is easily managed with the use of food rewards. He still needs a bit of distance from larger dogs (20-30 feet) to be able to stay calm, but has done really well when this strategy is used. He has worked with a trainer and would benefit continuation to build social confidence. Scooter becomes very attached to his family. He loves with his whole heart! He has done fine with little dogs. Scooter would love a foster family, foster to adopt or a forever home. If interested, you can complete our application at safeanimalhaven.orgNovember 5, 2024, 12:12 am
