My story

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

 

Meet Archie Doo, the sweet, scruffy, and oh-so-smart 1-year-old Labradoodle who’s ready to leave his tough past behind and step into the wonderful life he’s always deserved. Archie weighs 44 pounds, has the softest curls, and is brimming with personality once he feels safe and understood. Archie came to us in October after living in heartbreaking conditions—long days in a crate far too small, barely any food, and almost no real interaction or exercise. Being abandoned left some marks on his heart, but this boy is resilient. With the help of gentle medication, structure, and a foster mom who’s giving him all the right leadership and love, Archie is discovering what it means to be cared for. 

Now he’s ready for a family who can help him continue to grow.
Archie needs a home where: 

  • crate time is minimal

  • there’s a fenced yard to run and play

  • people are around often and can reassure him he’s not alone

  • training, consistency, and patience are part of everyday life

 Archie loves other dogs—especially ones close to his size—and needs another dog to live in the home with him to keep him company.  This way he will not rely totally on the humans to give him all their attention most of the day. He would enjoy having a canine buddy to wrestle and play with. He’s a total snuggle bug and will gladly curl up beside you on the couch, soaking up every minute of affection. And when it’s playtime? This boy is ALL IN. Balls, frisbees, stuffed toys—you name it, he plays with pure joy.

 

Because of his past, crating while his person is home can still be hard for him, though he does settle down nicely when crated while you’re away. With time, patience, and positive reinforcement, he’s already improving and will continue to grow more confident.

 

Archie is smart—classic doodle intelligence—and knows several basic commands. But he’s also still got that goofy, energetic puppy spirit, so he’ll thrive with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a predictable routine. Long walks, yard time, and active engagement will be key to helping him feel grounded and fulfilled.

 

The perfect match for Archie?
Someone who wants a loyal companion by their side. Someone with time, structure, and a big heart. Retired folks, work-from-home families, or anyone looking for a buddy to share their days with would be a dream come true for him.

 

Archie Doo has already come so far, and everyone who has helped him believes deeply in his incredible potential. He just needs the right person or family to help him continue the journey.

 

If you would like to foster or adopt this special boy, please reach out to ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Archie is ready for his happily-ever-after—and he hopes you’re part of it.

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. 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 Cavalry give them a chance to have a life?
