Story
Critter cavalry Rescue loves the unique and gentle devotion of the vanishing breed of Norwegian Elkhound. We are fervently looking for the PERFECT home for this 5 1/2  year old angel. Gertie is a purebred Norwegian Elkhound who spent her early years as a ' breeder ' dog and was rescued after the breeder decided to stop her breeding and downsize. This pretty girl is about 45lbs and is on the smaller size for the breed. She gets along with other dogs and with cats and loves to be petted and cuddled. She has stepped right up and learned some great leash skills.  We must say that like some dog, she is very scared when she hears loud noises. Having lived in a bit of Norwegian elkhound isolation on a small breeding farm, she is learning how to be more comfortable in social settings and existing out in the world on neighborhood walks and car ride visits to places like PetSmart and Home Depot.  Gertie is certainly learning the ropes and polishing her housebreaking skills. We are looking for someone that realizes she's not a perfect dog, but a perfect soul to love and nurture.  She’s good natured, very happy, loves food and treats and accepts being brushed!!  She also loves to dissect stuffed toys!  She responds when called but we must suggest her best adoption setting would probably be best in a calm home with her people around her most of the time.  We think it best that she have a confident canine companion. Her people need to be patient and give her time to come fully out of her shyness and be her happiest and most comfortable.  Spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped and Heartworm negative.   If interested in this unique girl, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue  at ccrnewengland@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.January 9, 2025, 5:29 pm

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.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

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.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm
