My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This beautiful girl named Bright Star, needs a do-over for her Elkhound life and Critter Cavalry Rescue is determined to find that special Elkie loving person or family! This young girl is only 3 years old and she is too timid and just a little too heavy at 68lbs,  to play the way a young dog should.  At her age she should be romping and running and delighting in life on a Spring or Summer day.  Bright Star is a pure bred Norwegian Elkhound who  was removed from a breeding farm in rural Tennessee.  Her formative years were spent living in an outdoor kennel without any socialization, playtime or the comfort of a heated or cooled environment inside. She is beginning to enjoy her freedom at her foster home in New England She’s moving around with greater agility and is enjoying barking along with her foster siblings.  She is learning to be an effective Guardian of the yard when she thinks intruders might be lurking!  An important job to a Norwegian Elkhound.   When she’s relaxed, Bright Star displays that wonderful Elkie smile and tightly curled up tail. She is just an easy girl to include in the pack of dogs that the foster mom owns, of which one is an Elkie who was rescued from the same breeder farm by Critter Cavalry Rescue.   She gets along well with other dogs and is beginning to show interest in people, as she has been standoffish the first week of escaping the breeder farm.   She is a curious girl who is gradually braving exploration her new surroundings and she seems to have house-trained herself. Bravo to this smart girl.  We have delighted in watching Bright Star  come out of her shell and she continues to do so, it should be an amazing experience for whomever adopts her.  It will be important to continue to monitor her food intake to help this stunning angel enjoy the life she deserves and achieve a more normal weight!!  If you are interested in making this girl’s dream come true with a forever home and heart to love her, 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.com

More about this rescue

We are a group of dedicated rescue people who want to save as many dogs and cats from the local shelters before they are euthanized. On the average....there are only 1 out of 10 animals that get adopted from a shelter. We are dedicated to helping increase pet adoptions by offering a shelter animal a foster home to go to while awaiting an adoptive family to find them on our Petfinder website. Won't you please adopt a shelter animal? Or won't you please help us foster a shelter animal while we are looking for their perfect home? What a gift you can give a dog or cat by giving them a place to feel safe and secure....a forever home or a foster home. Won't you help us at Critter Companion Rescue give them a chance to have a life?
