My story

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

 

MARCO POLO - GENTLE SOUL

 

Every once in a while, a dog comes along who quietly captures your heart—and Marco Polo is one of those dogs. Just 6 months old and 40 pounds, this beautiful boy was found wandering with his sister Izzy, likely recently abandoned but still hopeful and trusting. A kind woman saw something special in them and brought them to safety—and now, Marco is patiently waiting for his forever family to see that same spark. From the moment he arrived, Marco has shown nothing but sweetness. He’s easygoing, affectionate, and happiest when he’s near people or playing with his sister. His temperament is calm and settled for such a young pup, and he seems to radiate gratitude—like he knows that love and kindness are finally within reach. He’s great with other dogs, gentle with children, and completely unbothered by the cats in his foster home. Marco is already crate trained, housebroken, and walking nicely on a leash—he’s doing everything he can to be the kind of dog someone dreams of bringing home.  His foster mom sees it in his eyes—the way he watches the door or rests his head quietly on her lap—like he’s wondering if someone, somewhere, is thinking about him too. Wondering if a family will come and make him theirs.  We know that family is out there. We know someone will see past the ordinary and recognize the extraordinary in this gentle, beautiful boy.

 Marco is in Tennessee and can be adopted locally or transported to the Northeast. He’s ready to go—his bag is packed, and his heart is wide open.

 If you feel the pull to give Marco the life he’s been waiting for, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  Some hearts are just meant to find each other. Maybe Marco’s is meant to find yours.

 

 

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?
