Harley did really well in her board and train- she will need a breed savvy owner for proper handling. She likely can have friends if they are the right match- but will likely need to be an only pet.

Story
Meet Donner! This wrinkly little dude was recently returned to us through no fault of his own, and he`s ready to find his new forever home! He is still a puppy, so he will need your help with potty training, as well as with obedience training and learning manners. We would recommend for adopters to have some knowledge about the Shar-pei breed as they are prone to skin and eye issues due to the folds in their skin. We are requiring that everyone in the home (humans AND canines) meet Donner prior to adoption, to make sure everyone is able to get along. Also, keep in mind Donner is still growing, so make sure if you rent, you check your lease for any breed or weight restrictions, If you would like to meet Donner, please speak with our kennel staff who will be happy to help!

Story
Meet Frida! This elderly little lady here was recently brought to us and she is hoping to find her forever home! Frida is quite fond of her personal space, so she will be required to meet any resident dogs prior to going home. Please remember that when doing any introduction with either people or animals to do them slowly! Frida does have Atopic Dermatitis which is a chronic but treatable condition and staff can help answer any additional questions regarding her condition & treatment. Lastly, Frida did have some eye procedures done prior to coming to us & will likely be on lifelong medication, so any potential adopters will need to be ready to commit to her medical needs. If you would like to visit with this lovely lady or if you have any questions, please ask a Kennel Technician & they will be happy to assist!

Story
DEXTER - 1-3 years old, 60 pounds, house trained, dog social, nervous with new people, adult home Dexter arrived at VBACAC as a stray (with tag that read DEXTER) and although it has taken a lot of time (a LOT of time) and a lot of patience (a LOT of patience) he is starting to trust us. I met him in a yard with two people he already trusted and another dog friendly dog. The two dogs ran around here and there, chased each other and approached all of us randomly.  Dexter is a handsome boy with tan fur, a black muzzle, floppy ears, and long legs. When he smiles, he shows some really adorable teefers. Dexter was interested in me, a new person. He would come to me, sniff and then sometimes take treats I offered. Once Dexter is used to a person, which will take multiple meetings, he is a loving, friendly and playful boy who loves head rubs and being called a handsome boy. He can be a leaner who loves to go on adventures. Dexter can be protective of people he is close to but proper introductions allow him to befriend others. Slow, proper introductions and patience will help this boy succeed in a new home. Dexter is currently in a back kennel so if you don't see him, please just ask.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 12, 2025, 4:43 pm

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.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 10, 2025, 1:49 pm

Story
Max is a Dutch Shepherd and approximately 3 years old. He is a typical Dutchie in many ways. He is very toy driven and loves a game of fetch. When excited he's mouthy and will def give you the love nibbles. He is not interested in making many human friends outside of "his" people, but as long as he is under control/guidance of his handler he does fine. This means that he isn't the life of the party when people come over or the dog that is going to be pet on by strangers. He bonds with his people and is so goofy and fun to have around. He is mostly house and crate trained. He requires a fenced yard to enjoy. Max does know basic obedience. He is dog social but prefers females. He will require an adult home. No cats please. He is healthy and happy and would be great for an active pet home or a hobby sport pet home! Interested families can submit applications for adoption on our website- www.k9Justiceleague.com.
