DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Tank is bonded with Rusty, 10yo, weighs 50-60lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  Tank has free roam of the house during the day and sleeps on the couch or on his bed at night.  There are no issues with Tank during car rides.  He does, however, dislike/fear thunder/loud noises. Tank's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  Tank's current guardian is fostering him and Rusty and has been since she rescued them from an untenable living situation in December 2023.  Since their foster provider/guardian already has 2 dogs of her own, she must rehomed them, preferably together. Tank's guardian states the following regarding children:  Tank lives with children, ages birth to 7yo, so his guardian recommends his living with children, stating "Similar to Rusty, he likes to be petted but will typically the just relax/find his own spot". Tank's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Tank lives with dogs, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "While on walks, he's not too interested in other dogs.  If living in a house with other dogs, I would recommend calm dogs.  I have two small/more active dogs, and Tank doesn't like when they play". Tank's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Tank hasn't lived with cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats. Tank's guardian describes him as: Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Tank's guardian describes his ideal future home:   "Tank gets very excited to go outside, so I would love for him to have a fenced in yard in his forever home.  I would also really like to place Tank and Rusty together.  Tank gets a little anxious/nervous (it took about 3-4 weeks for him to get settled in my home), so a calmer home would be ideal. I would also love to keep in touch/could be a dog-sitter if/when needed." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Gambrills, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

Story
Rosie is a senior Shiba Inu who ended up at Animal Control after her human passed away in her home, and no one knew for some time. Her extended family tried to keep her for a few days, but she can be a bit snappy with people she doesn’t know. When the DC SIR Volunteer picked her up she was put into a crate for transport. She doesn’t like crates and let everyone know. When her foster dad picked her up at the transfer location, she snapped and snarled. Luckily, her new foster dad didn't have a crate and allowed her to lean on him and cuddle on his lap on part of the drive. Fortunately, her foster parents have worked with fearful and reactive dogs, so they knew how to build gain her trust. She can go in and out to their backyard to potty without issue. She loves all the yummy raw food her foster parents give her; she can gently take treats from them, but will growl if she thinks they might get too close. Her foster parents see that she is a sweet girl who needs savvy adopters who will take the time to earn her trust so that I can feel safe to be herself. She may not be a big cuddler, but she can bring happiness to a family that will take the time to give her a loving home.

Story
Hi everyone, my name is now Summer. My foster parents picked my name for the Fourth of July/ Freedom theme because my personality is inspired by the warmth you feel in the late evening of Independence Day when you smell food grilling and Shibas barking! I am a 4-year-old red female Shiba Inu! I was rescued with 8 other Shiba Inus from an AR breeding facility. I lived my entire life in a 4’ x 6’ pen without toys, a soft bed or grass under my feet. When I arrived at Shiba HQ, I was very scared and confused and huddled in a corner with the other Shibas who traveled with me. The volunteers noticed that a very scared black and tan Shiba kept cuddling behind me in the corner of the yard, so DC SIR decided to keep us together in a foster home. We are the only dogs in the home, but I am learning to trust people and enjoy my new freedom! You’ll see videos of me dancing around in the grass! I am so happy to have a lot of space to run and play in! In just 4 days, I have learned to go downstairs (not up yet), watch for wildlife through the windows, and discovered the joy of play. Each day, my confidence grows when go on walks, take in the warm sun on my face, and smell the trails that other dogs have been on. Lastly, my appetite is finally growing, and I have mastered going to the bathroom outside! I will need to have full medical before I am available for adoption. If you think I am a good fit for your family, go ahead and apply to adopt me! I look forward to enjoying a life of freedom!

Story
Hi everyone, my name is now Hope. My name is a Fourth of July/ Freedom theme, which is what our Country has given so many people. I am an 8-year-old red female Shiba Inu who was just rescued from an Arkansas breeding facility with 8 other Shiba Inu. I was nervous about this new life and all the strange sights and sounds. Feeling the grass under my feet gave me hope for a better life. I pranced on the grass and explored the yard at Shiba HQ. I lived my whole life in a 4 x 6 run, so this new world can be a bit scary. Luckily, I got to go to a foster home with another Shiba Inu, DC SIR alum, Shiloh, who was also rescued from a large Midwest breeding facility last year. My foster parents think I am even more confident than Shiloh! I warmed up quickly to my foster pawrents and sisfur and I love to run around and explore all the new things! I am still being potty trained, but I will catch on to this quickly! I still need to be spayed, and I will also need to have dental work, so make sure to wish me luck for a safe and speedy surgery! I think you will be able to see how happy I am in my videos. DC SIR said I was great at body handling during my shower! I didn’t even mind having my nails trimmed, but I wasn’t that excited about it either. I know my foster pawrents need a few items to help me adjust to my new life, so they have an Amazon Wish List just for me! If you could help send me a couple of goodies I promise to dance and prance for you in a video!

Story
This handsome Eskimo/Heeler mix boy is called Spock and he is a charming  2 year old that is a perfect size at just 45 pounds.  This special, young dog was found as a stray and the lady who found him adored his unique look and wonderful personality.  But sadly this loving rescue lady has had to admit that her health is just not stable enough to give him a long term life and home with her.  She is sacrificing this sweet boy to give him a chance at a forever home that will give him a great life for the next 10+ years.  Spock is very smart, alert, affectionate, loyal and fun dog to have around.  Due to the blend of breeds, he is called an Aussimo – a good mixture of both breeds.  He is housetrained, walks well on a leash, and is a true cuddle buddy. Spock is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, HW prevention, microchipped and a healthy boy.  He is good with children and gets along nicely  with other dogs.  This stunning boy is ready today for his forever home. 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
