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

Ok, you know you're doing something right at your shelter when dogs start surrendering themselves to you!We were in the middle of a busy Sunday shift, cleaning runs, snuggling pups, greeting visitors......when we looked up and saw an unfamiliar fuzzy face!A gorgeous gray and white pup with the sweetest eyes just strolled into the shelter, and from there, right on into a playpark we opened up to corral him."Let's call him Bob!" shouted a volunteer as he jogged over to befriend our newest guest. And so, Welcome Bob!We scanned him for a chip, reported him to the proper authorities, and posted him online. Nobody claimed him. Now Bob's officially ours, and he can be yours!Bob is an awesome little dude -- so friendly, so affectionate, so gentle.He LOVES every person he meets, and seems very interested in befriending the other dogs, too!The only time we've ever seen Bob sad is when we have to leave - he hangs his head, his usually-waggy tail sags, and he cries the softest, most heartbreaking cry.Bob came to our shelter looking for help, and he's shown us nothing but trust and gratitude.Help us show Bob he made the right choice! We suspect Bob traveled pretty far to reach us, and together, we can make sure that Bob's long journey ends in a loving forever home.Thanks for the validation, Bob! Thanks for choosing us! We and our online family won't let you down!Come meet Bob any day (including weekends and holidays) between 9am and noon.We're at 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA, 23666Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bo is an amazing companion who gets along with everyone. He is well-mannered, gentle on a leash, and loves humans; a perfect gentleman! He currently lives in a foster home with a lot of coming and going, and he handles it very well. He's also lived with two young children in the past and was great with them. Bo loves his toys and playing fetch. He really is a dapper fella and eager to please.  * His adoption fee is $200.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. January 3, 2025, 10:43 am
