Story
Piper is a loving, sweet Lab/Pitbull Terrier mix who we adopted 5 years ago from Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington, DC. Piper has been a loving part of our family for the last 5 years. We are looking for her next loving home where she can have the attention she deserves. Unfortunately with our busy lives and schedule, she is not getting the attention that she needs and deserves. She is very active, LOVES walks, knows her basic commands and is house trained. If you can train her to run, that would be even better. Piper is 6 years old, we celebrate her birthday on August 16th so she will be 7 August 16, 2024. Piper will make a loving addition to a family without other dogs. She is great with small children and very patient.

Story
Java is a friendly, fashionable, and fun 4-year-old girlie. She’s athletic and loves playing fetch, walks in nature, chasing rabbits, and swimming; but most of all, she loves cuddles! She is smart and loves to play in the snow, and lay in the sun. Her favorite treats are chicken and quinoa, and cold coconut water on a hot day. Java loves warm soapy baths and is a perfect smedium size for any home. She would thrive with someone who enjoys the outdoors, or with a family who has a house and big backyard with children or other dogs to keep her active. I unfortunately work two jobs and will soon start a doctorate program, so I am unable to give her adequate time, but hoping the right family comes through soon so she can have a great summer!

Story
Athena was rescued before she was going to a shelter. She is a beautiful, loving almost-five-year old hound/lab mix with a very gentle and affectionate nature. She was raised with a family and three rowdy boys but lost her home due to divorce and a move. She is energetic and loves to play and run! But also can be a couch potato in her cage for hours at a time. She gets many compliments on her walks - deserving of her name! She is good on a leash with a Gentle Leader, walks and heels well, and knows has had basic training (sit, heel, down, stay, etc.) She is completely house trained and has never had an accident, is fastidious about her bed and cage, is not food aggressive and has a clean bill of health with all of her shots,. She loves affection, will ask for tummy rubs and loves having her silky ears stroked. On her walks, she is very good but squirrels, rabbits and chipmunks are a temptation! She is a lovely and sweet girl, who deserves an understanding companion.

Story
Meet Zuri! Our beautiful little girl that is mixed with all sorts of gorgeous dog elements that include most probably Border Collie/Husky mix.  This crystal blue eyed girl has waited a long time to have her chance to be offered for adoption.  You see she was part of a cruelty case back in October and was severely malnourished and was pregnant with babies.  All her pretty babies have been adopted but poor Zuri was left behind.  She was taken from the small TN shelter last month to decompress and learn some home/family life.  She is ready now for a wonderful new family to call her own .  This girl is a mature and settled 3-4 years old, spayed, UTD on vaccinations, HW- and ready for the good life with a family that will love and cherish her forever. Her beautiful blue eyes and open personality will make you love her instantly.  This girl loves to run and play in the yard with other dogs and absolutely loves the water! She does good as your passenger in the car for pup cup runs and would do good in a home with older, dog savvy children that are 10 years and above. She is still learning not to pull on her leash and is doing very good at her sit command. Zuri just wants her chance to prove that she’s a great family member and cuddle up with you at night!  If you are interested in this housebroken, crate trained, pretty girl that deserves the best life from her on out…please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
Luna is a beautiful young Lab mix girl who has endured a very unstable start to her life that has left her shy and unsure of herself at just 5-6 months of age.  This 25 pound girl is precious in body and soul and craves a confident hand to show her how to enjoy the world around her with joy and delight.   She is so pretty and actually her ears stand up when she is not being shy for the camera.  This sweet girl lived in a single bedroom of a disabled man for months and finally Critter Cavalry Rescue was able to secure a foster home for her to leave and get the great foster home that could work with her to build her self-esteem.  She rides well in a car and walks nicely on a leash.  She is wonderful with cats, other dogs and shyly accepts attention from strangers.   She will be a new girl in a short time of living with a competent and capable foster mom and family.   She would be wonderful with children too!  We envision this girl going to live with someone that has another confident, mature dog and who can take her on walking adventures and playful times in a fenced backyard.  Luna will be a top weight of 45 pounds when fully grown.   She has all the good stuff in her heart and soul and personality to be one of the move loving dogs you could ever adopt into your home.  If you are interested please write to us at ccrnewengland@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.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
Nina is a little girl who was born around Mid-May and the family who had their dog give birth, moved away from their country rental and left 10 puppies behind with no plan for food or water…..just an outdoor pen.  After several months of a neighbor feeding them, Critter Cavalry Rescue was called in to help take them from the pen and give them a chance to find homes.  This girl survived months of abandonment and starvation and has emerged with a few social hesitancies and insecurities, yet a smart mind and loving soul.  She is crate trained, housebroken, wonderful with children that are young, other dogs and also cats.  She is a champ when it comes to being there for you but socially skittish when there are loud noises, sudden movements from outside and thunderstorms.  Nina is coming in to a place that she is showing confidence and not scared of certain things.  She will get there soon, but will need someone that doesn’t require her to be perfect.  She truly is perfect in so many ways despite her really challenging early months as a litter that was abandoned.  Nine is a lab/Pit mix that is beautiful and 44 pounds and a full weight as an adult.   She is very sweet and loving and good with children,  dogs, but NO CATS…..she loves to chase.    She is housebroken and she is crate trained and is a true outdoor girl. She loves to sunbath on the back patio and she welcomes the opportunity to meet new people.  She is pretty good on a leash and good on car rides and great recall that usually works for her.  She is a companion puppy.  She is a Lab/Pit mix and has the heart and soul of a Golden Retriever.   If you are interested in giving this homeless girl a new life and family, please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com 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.August 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
Luna is an incredibly sweet dog who loves to play and to cuddle. She is very food motivated and is a quick learner. She especially loves to play fetch, go on walks, and look out from windows. Luna is a sweet pup who loves to give you hugs by leaning on your legs. She is always happy to see you and is house trained. My wife and I are expecting a baby at the end of August and have made the incredibly difficult conclusion that, with a baby coming, we won't be able to provide her with the home that she needs. She is friendly and loves to be around humans. She has a lot of love and energy to give. That also means that sometimes her love and energy can be a little tough for smaller dogs or dogs that do not like to play as spiritedly. We love her and wish we could keep her in our home, but also know that with a baby and toddler coming that we can’t provide the home she deserves. We are sure that she will make a happy home even happier with her fun and loving personality!

Nala is a beautiful 2.5 y/o yellow Labrador who resides in Fairfax, VA. She is full of so much fun, energy, and affection and is very eager to please! She's great with young children (3+ yrs), attentive, and does her best to earn treats. In her first year of life, Nala attended training school for 4 weeks. She knows several commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, leave it, drop it, and her release word “ok.” She gets along very well with other animals and is impressively calm in the face of less-behaved dogs! Her favorite activities include playing fetch, going on long runs/walks, exploring nature, and snuggling with loved ones. Nala is spayed, current with her vaccines, and weighed in at 76 lbs as of 7/12/2024. Nala deserves the opportunity to flourish in a dynamic family environment who can reciprocate all the love she has to give!

Hatchi Came to us when he was 6 weeks old, born November 17,2023, was given to us by a family friend because the mom birthed to many dogs. At first we didn’t have much time to take him out for walks, he does follow commands to sit down when he gets a treat, he knows when he is in trouble he runs to his crate, he sleeps in it, he likes morning walks now mid day and evening. He is fully vaccinated, he is very active likes to play ball and run with the children, when he sees other dogs he does try to fight and can be aggressive but once they smell each other all he does is play around, has never biten any dog or kids. We are sad to give him away but, our schedules it’s busy and needs more training. He is very loving, hopefully he finds a great family where can be his new home

My name is Milo Magoo and I am a 3 year old Golden Doodle with a birthday that is coming in the next few days… to turn 3 yrs. old.  I weigh 80 pounds and I am looking for an attentive and dog training family that will really shape and polish me to be the spectacular dog that I have the potential to be.  My current family really has no time to work with me to shape me in to a dog with great manners and emotional control.   I am bored in this home and I need physical and mental stimulation and fun challenges to do.  I am very happy, sweet, and very active with running and playing.  I am a male that is ALL BOY and if I had my wish I would say to adopt me if you have a girl dog in the family.   I would love to have a girlfriend for life!  When I am bored my favorite, yet dangerous, thing to do is eat socks.  So please watch that if you take me home.  It is totally out of boredom.   Critter Cavalry Rescue is tryng to change all this by placing me in the right home that they will review closely.   I am a silver tawny coloring and people just ohhhhh and ahhhhh over the color of my coat of  hair.  If you would like to adopt me please email right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Mention in the email where you live!!!   That helps so much too.  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.August 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
Hello world!   I am so excited to tell you my story of being saved from a shelter that was under siege from parvo.  I survived and I was broken out of the shelter by Critter Cavalry Rescue after spending 4 weeks there and hoping to live through it all. My name is Bridgette and I am about 5 months old and weigh 28 pounds.  They say I have all sorts of breeds probably in my blood line.  They say I looks like a Golden Retriever mix or an Aussie mix or a little Chow or just the best of what God could create.  My foster mom just loves my confidence and my small size and stature but my BIG personality.  How big will I be when I grow up? Who knows except that my foster mom says I have enough cute and cuddles for any size.  I think I will be 40-45 pounds and the perfect size to fit in just about anywhere.  Since I have gotten out of the shelter, I am crate-trained, but still working on the housebreaking because I have NOT been out of the shelter for long. It means that I don’t mind being in my crate and usually keep it clean and dry. I might holler when you first put me in my crate but my foster mom says, don’t be fooled. I’ll settle down with a blanket and toy after a little while. I just have to get used to being without my brothers and sisters and get used to my new family.  You know things change all the time for us rescued dogs.   We go from so many situations while the shelters and the rescues are trying their best to get it all just right for us.  I sleep in my crate at night. I love mealtime! I also love to chase toys. If you get me settled on a blanket next to you, I love a good snuggle time. I’m ready. Come and get me! I am spayed and healthy and loveable and snuggable and I really need a place to belong.  Can you love pretty little me?  Bridgette the golden charm that will make your life so much better.  Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and ask for an application for me.  Tell them where you live please…city and state. 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.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm
