My story

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

Mishka deserves a beautiful life ahead of her.  She is an elegant and kind Lab mix girl that gave birth to puppies sometime in early December and found herself in a barn trying to save her puppies from harm.  Just after the ice age storm in Nashville, TN she was discovered in the barn with no food and no water.  The puppies and Momma Mishka were in rough shape.  Soon the tables turned and Mishka and all 4 puppies were taken in by Critter Cavalry and given the necessary food, vaccines, medical care and Momma is getting spay on 2/20.  What we have found in Mishka is a gentle sweetness that makes you want to protect her and promise her a steady love for all the years ahead.  She has been a dog that at 80 pounds, is just fluid in her movements and her ability to flow in a living environment that  her foster mom says is remarkable since her past is so sketchy.  We think she has been the survivor dog that has not let life beat her down.  Mishka is 18 months old and 80 pounds.  She has lived inside at one time.  We just don't know where and for how long.  She has 4 gorgeous puppies that will be good canine citizens in the future as they grow to be like their special mom.  Mishka is housebroken, good in a crate for a time and she is looking to be someone's bright star called Venus.  The star of love and devotion.  Please let Critter Cavalry Rescue know if you are interested by emailing them at ccrtennessee@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

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are a full volunteer rescue organization. All of our animals are kept in loving foster homes, receiving the best care possible. A completed application must be submitted and approved to meet with our dogs/pups. A completed application helps us determine compatibility and also helps us to ensure a successful adoption.
