Story
Hi everyone, my name is Chewie and as you can see, I am a total snuggle bug. I am in foster where they report that I am perfectly potty trained, do well with the resident cat, and learning how to be a proper gentleman from the resident female dog. I was so nervous and shut down at the shelter but I`m really letting my true colors show more and more now that I`m decompressing. I am described as affectionate, couch potato, and a lapdog. My foster says `I can`t get over how much love Chewie has to give! He is the most affectionate dog I`ve ever met.`Want to know more about me? Come visit the shelter during adoption hours to set up a play date at the shelter with me!

`Hey there, I`m Bolt! I`m not your average shelter dog. I was once a wizard`s companion, bouncing around in a world of spells and enchantments. One day, I accidentally knocked over a potion, and poof! I ended up here. I miss my magical days, but I`ve got lots of energy and love to share. I can make you laugh with my funny antics, and I`m pretty good at entertaining myself too. I`m looking for a new companion, someone who loves playtime as much as I do. Adopt me, and let`s create our own magic together!`Note from staff: Bolt may like to embellish his background a bit.*Disclaimer* This animal may have maximum number of applications or already be adopted.

Story
Harley anne is an extremely sweet girl- we rescued her from dog fighting when she was younger. She is amazing with all humans including kids and babies, but is very dog selective. We would like her new home to be experienced to help give her the attention and activity she needs. She is a fiddler and will take up the whole bed if you let her. We are so sad to be rehoming her and need her to go to a family that will love her as much as we do.

Story
Batman is a 8 year old, sweet dog. He loves people, cuddles, and attention. He was the runt of the litter, so he is not as big as his siblings. We are looking for a home where he can continue to be loved and cares for. Ideally, it would be a home where he would get lots of cuddles, walks, and attention. Although he is good with kids, he gets too excited when meeting new people so little kids tend to get pushed over. He has never snapped at anyone, but he has licked people silly.

Story
Aria is a 1.5-year-old loving, high-energy, sweet, pit mix. She is crate trained and knows base commands (sit, eat, wait, etc.) and behaves very well once she's had a chance to play to release energy, so I'd definitely recommend a large yard. Her high energy levels can make her hard to manage so she needs an experienced owner who is prepared to give her time and attention. She plays well with young children and other animals, as long as she is supervised, to help make sure she doesn't get too excited or forget her size. I have been her only owner and had her since she was about 6 weeks, she is spayed and hasn't had any health concerns or incidents of aggression or biting. She has a very stern bark and gives good notice of anyone approaching the property. We are looking to give her to a long-term owner in preparation for an upcoming move as we will no longer be able to house her.

Story
I love this boy but I am moving out but currently live with my mom, she doesn't wish to keep him and the place I am going I won't be able to bring him due to breed and size, I also won't be able to afford any other area to find one that will, I am moving out because a mentally abusive relationship with mt mother, she is also just as bad to him when she wants to be, Moose loves snuggles and being outside, he will bark to go outside, he is good with other dogs and grew up with a doxin and a lab both smaller then him, he does not have any papers or shots due to my mom not wanting to get them when I was in high school, and still does not have them because I personally cannot afford to take care of him and I know he deserves better

Story
Meet Rocky, a fun lovable 1 year puppy that came to us from a not so great living situation of being kenneled 24/7. Rocky has been the sweetest dog who just needs a loving family that has the time to help guide this puppy. He isn't house trained and he suffered from a very bad rash on his back from rubbing in his kennel. So far we have seen no behavioral issues with him and not a single mean bone in his body. He does well with our three month old and our 2 year old dog. We are not sure how he would do with cats but think he would do just fine. Rocky needs a family that has patience and a good heart to take the time help train him and help him become the best him.

These pups are in Norfolk, Virginia too!

Story
Gypsy and Skylar, a bonded pair are ready to find their perfect home. Gypsy, the Old English Bulldog is 1-1/2 years old and 46 pounds. Skylar, the Boston Terrier is 2 years old and 17 pounds. Both are neutered and UTD on vaccines. They were not house trained when they came to us, but both are improving with the ongoing training. If they are taken outside on a regular schedule, accidents do not occur. They do great on a leash and love car rides. Both are kennel trained. As far as energy levels; Skylar is a go-go (full of energy) and Gypsy is a slow-go (couch potato). Skylar, in true Boston fashion, loves to run, jump and play with toys but when she’s ready for bed, she’s a snuggle bug. Gypsy, in true Bulldog fashion, enjoys leisurely walks and laying on the couch while chewing her favorite toy. Both are great with children as long as they’re old enough to withstand dogs that jump. They also get along with other dogs, but cats; not so much. Both girls are super chewers and need a variety of toys that cannot be easily destroyed. Dog beds are not a safe choice for the dynamic duo and only blankets should be used. Both sit on command and are very food/treat motivated. A fenced yard is required since Skylar will run and chase anything that moves. Gypsy and Skyler are the sweetest girls and have never met a human they won’t lick. They have a lot of love to give and would do best in a home where they are not left alone for long periods. This wonderful bonded pair is fostered in Kearneysville, WV. If you meet their requirements and feel you are the right family for them, email odbtr1@gmail.com or bostonlover02@comcast.net to request a Word or PDF format application. Please note, we will not respond to inquiries about them until we have your application on file.

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
