Story
Rooster is a sweet gentle soul that wants to make friends with everyone he meets. He’s a smart boy that is very well behaved. He currently lives with kids, other dogs, cats, rabbits and sheep that he socializes with well. But he is a bit fearful of the horses. He’d thrive in a loving home that would spend plenty of time with him and take him for walks and let him explore.

Story
Our sweet Raja is a very special little peanut! Raja is active but also loves to snuggle. She would enjoy a household with another dog who can mentor her. She loves people and loves to cuddle after playtime. She loves toys and things to chew on. Raja is working on house, leash, and crate training and doing well in all. She is cat friendly; sometimes she can't help chase the cats in her foster home, but can be redirected. Are you the family lucky enough to add Raja to your home?

Story
Sawyer was saved from a high kill rescue only shelter in GA last year, this shelter is not open to the public so these dogs don't have much chance of getting out. I am the President of Dogingham Palace Rescue that is writing this bio for Sawyer. I fell in love with him when I meet him as he is stunning and so sweet. I was looking for a dog that I could walk/hike with, with my husband and his dog. Sawyer was so easy on the leash for me. Back in 2022 I fought stage 3 breast cancer and have some of my journey on facebook under Dogingham Palace Rescue. Rescue is what got me through a year of chemo, radiation and surgeries. I was wanting to get my strength back and lose the steroid weight and having a dog with you on a trail is way more fun than being alone. I have now found out that it has spread to my lungs and through no fault of Sawyer I want to find him a wonderful new home. He needs more than I can give him with knowing I have another fight on my hands. He deserves to be in a home that can give him what I can't. When we would go out on trails if he heard children he got so excited. So would be good for a family or single person. He loves to play with dogs in my house. Mainly plays with 2 other dogs his size but also loves to play with one of my 10 lbs Chihuahua too. I do not have cats but I don't think he would be a problem for one. He is pretty much house trained, but does still have an accident here and there. He sleeps in a dog bed right next to my bed. I do crate him when I am not home as he is still very much puppy. He does also like to counter surf and we have lost a few steaks and other meals to him...lol. He is very food motivated. I think he was just left outside the whole time till I got him. He loves to play and also loves to come in and chill on the couch or by my side. Sorry the pictures are not great, he wants to move when I try to get pictures. He is definitely a dog that turns heads and everyone who sees him always asks what kind of dog he is. If you are interested in this handsome fellow please email us at Doginghamrescue@aol.com so we can send you an application. We are based in the Nashville, TN area and have most of our dogs transported up north. The $500 includes the adoption and transport fee (will have a health certificate too). The transport fee ($250) is not refundable if things do not work out.

Story
 Meet Lou Lou – A Beautiful Soul Ready for Love!  Lou Lou is a stunning 50-pound, 1-2 year old Catahoula mix with a beautiful smile and dancing eyes that invites you to make friends with her.  She was originally an abandoned girl who was found alone in the middle of a storm, searching for safety. Now, she’s looking for something even more precious—a forever home where she will be loved and cherished. With her blue merle  coat that is stunning and her soulful eyes, Lou Lou is as gorgeous on the outside as she is on the inside. She has a sweet and affectionate personality, melting into belly rubs and eagerly snuggling into your lap. Once she knows you’re her friend, she’ll stick by your side like a loyal shadow, offering endless love and devotion. At about 18 months to 2 years old, Lou Lou has plenty of energy and a playful spirit. She would thrive in an active home where she can run, explore, and learn about all the joys life has to offer. While she can be a little shy at first, she just needs some patience and encouragement to build her confidence. With love and gentle guidance, she will blossom into the amazing companion she is meant to be. Lou Lou is still learning about things like walking on a leash and being an indoor pet, but she is eager to please and will flourish in a home that continues to show her kindness and guidance. In many ways, she is like a puppy—a clean slate ready for training, adventures, and a lifetime of love. Lou Lou has been spayed and is up to date on all vaccinations. She is ready to find her forever family—a patient, loving home where she can continue to grow, trust, and be the incredible dog she was always meant to be. If you’re looking for a beautiful, affectionate, and loyal companion, Lou Lou might just be the perfect match!  Contact us today to learn more about adopting this special girl!  Please get in touch with us at Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in possibly adopting this special girl. 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.comApril 1, 2025, 12:43 am
