Story
Please contact foster parent at lashleydunc11@aol.comIn a few words, Indy can be described as an incredibly intelligent energizer bunny.He loves children and has done well in a household with cats and dogs*.Once he gets to know you, he is a huge cuddle bug! He fully expects to share a pillow with his human every night. You will never have to worry about being cold mid-winter again!He is uber smart and has taught himself a lot of tricks all on his own! He knows how to open doors (only to get to his favorite people to make sure they are safe) and will bring his leash to you when he wants to go out. He knows how to pick up his mess if you tell him `get your ball` if he ever leaves it in an inconvenient spot. And he loves his ball! If his human isn`t quite getting what he wants, he will take them gently by the hand to lead them. Sometimes he will even walk the other dogs if a leash is dropped.He loves long grass and standing on outdoor furniture (he learned that we in fact cannot stand on the inside dining table but foster mom does not care if I stand on the outdoor table, pool box, pool recliner or anything else outside). Really, he is probably part billy goat without the headbutts to your gonads. So if you ever wanted a pet goat but your stinky HOA won`t let you have one......He would need at least a 4.5ft tall fence as he has mad hops.Indy is VERY athletic and does absolutely need an outlet. He is looking for a VERY active home or a sporting/working home. This really is one of THE BEST dogs anyone will have the privilege of owning but not everyone has the brains and physical aptitude for him (which is true for most working dogs). So if you are one of those special someone`s, we definitely want to hear from you!Indy currently participates in cani-cross and we hope to have him evaluated for agility and flyball soon.I have fostered for 15 years, a huge variety of dogs (mostly highly intelligent working breeds) and I will say, Indy has blown me away. He has so much potential that I know he is going to make someone incredibly happy and proud.*Indy is dog friendly for the most part but does have some resource guarding around toys and high value areas. 90% of the time he is completely fine. This is where an experienced owner comes in who is used to working dogs who can have moments of intensity. We have managed him very successfully for over a year in a large pack of pups. It is very doable but a lot of average d

Story
Buddy is a lovable baby. He is 7 years old. Due to losing our home to foreclosure, I have not been able to keep him. A friend was fostering him, but received eviction papers and can no longer keep him and has called the pound. Buddy is an amazing dog. He grew up with my 3 children, cat, and a small dog. (He thinks HE is a small dog) He is house broken and will let you know when he has to potty. He will also alert if anyone comes to your door. He loves to play, going on walks, taking rides, and especially loves to cuddle. He loves love. I am desperate to save his life. He doesn’t deserve any of this and I am heartbroken, but have faith that he will find his forever home. Please help him! I never imagined any of this to happen and it’s beyond my control and he is beyond deserving of a loving family. That’s all he’s ever known..

Story
Tricky came over from St. John and has settled so well! He had a rough start to life, coming from a bad home on the island. The shelter in St. John worked to show him the good side of humans and he is making excellent strides in learning to trust while in foster. Tricky is incredibly loving and would love to lay on the couch and cuddle all day if given the chance. He is great at hanging around the house, but also LOVES to play. He loves to play with every dog he meets, starting each play with a bow and tail wag. Tricky is also very smart- he knows how to sit and is working on “heel” and “place” in weekly training classes. Tricky is estimated to be 4 years old and is 43 lbs. He is potty trained, crate trained, and great in the car (he loves a car ride)! He loves his crate and sleeps in it at night, greeting you with a tail wag and biiiig stretch in the morning. Simply put, Tricky exudes joy and is looking for a loving home to call his own! --- To apply to adopt, please follow the steps for adoption on HalfwayThereRescue.com/Adoption-Process and apply directly here: https://fs26.formsite.com/htrnp/a2k3lsooud/index.html

Story
Herbie is a lovable 70-pound Boxer mix with a heart full of gold. About a year old, he was found wandering the back roads of Tennessee without a collar or microchip, battling a tough case of mange. While no one has come forward to claim him, Herbie is now looking for his forever family! His skin is healing beautifully, and his sweet, curious nature shines through more each day. ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Herbie enjoys his daily walks and is getting better at leash manners. He’s also learning to curb his excitement when greeting people! He’s great with other dogs and, after playtime, is happy to sit quietly by your side. He hasn’t been tested with cats or kids yet, but we think his gentle personality would be a great match for the right home! Critter Cavalry Rescue is a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) that travels to the Northeast states weekly, helping high-risk homeless animals like Herbie find loving homes. For more info on our mission, adoption fees, and drop-off points, visit us at CritterCavalry.com! &#226&#156&#168 Could your family be the one Herbie's been waiting for? &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to request an adoption application.  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.March 4, 2025, 12:35 pm

Breed: Boxer / American Bulldog? maybe? Size: Large; currently 70+ lbs Estimated Birthday: 3/2/2020 House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes, and kennels on command! Kid-Friendly: Needs a home with kids over 12 years --============================== Bella Vida is looking for her perfect family! She is a 3 or 4 year old Bulldog mix weighing about 85-90 lbs. This silly girl ate a sock and her previous owner could not afford the surgery. C2CND stepped in and rescued her. She’s a high energy dog who would do best with a fence and a privacy fence would be even better. She will bark when she needs to go outside. Bella is crate and potty trained. She is a very affectionate dog once she warms up to you and really needs a patient, assertive owner who will work with her. She also needs an active family who exercises her frequently. Her foster notices that Bella’s behavior is heavily influenced by the amount of exercise/activity she receives and her anxiety levels. Bella would fetch a ball for hours if you let her. She does go on walks but sometimes gets distracted. She loves to snuggle and be near her human. She also likes to chew on bones (Benebones seems to be her favorite). Her foster says Bella is a dominant personality who is dog selective and dog aggressive. Bella is still working on her leash skills, while she does well on the leash most of the time, she can be easily distracted. Slow introductions are best. Bella would fit best with a family with teenagers or no young kids and as the only dog. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee for Bella Vida is $365 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!
