Just like Apollo Creed he is charismatic, intelligent and handsome. Even though he is in a foster home with lots of dogs of all sizes and ages and does fine, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home as he is very affectionate and likes to get all of the attention. Small kids make him a bit nervous so no kids under 12 for this handsome ham. He will need and active home with an adopter that is familiar with his breed, no apartments/condos pls. Apollo Creed is extremely intelligent, loves structure and is very food motivated. He also knows how to use a doggy door and he rides really well in the car. Please remember that young dogs require a lot of time, love, patience, and socialization to become the best canine citizens they can be. Could yours be the home of Apollo Creed's dreams? Submit an application today! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home. For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org.Sponsor Me!

Story
We do not promote any of our dogs as house trained or allergy friendly. Griffey is approximately 2 years old, 50lbs, all black Belgian Shepherd/Malinois/Beagle mix according to his brother's DNA. He's fully vetted and fixed, very athletic, loyal, and once he knows you, very affectionate. He's incredibly smart and does well following commands, making him a great candidate for obedience training. He is excellent with other dogs, walks very well on leash; cats unknown. He hasn’t been around children younger than 15 and given his uncertainty around new things, fast moving and unpredictable children may not be best suited for him. Griffey is protective of his household and its parameters and will need proper, consistent and committed training to overcome his stranger danger. When considering a dog like Griffey, his potential adopters need to visit with him a few times so Griffey gets acquainted with them. He's absolutely amazing and we can't say enough good things about him, that doesn't change the fact that he's a "project" dog. He will take time to trust his new owner so don't expect a lab with a happy wagging tail at first meet and greet. In case we didn't emphasize this enough, he is AMAZING with the right guardian. Think you can handle the cuteness and the chaos? Ready to commit to training this amazing pup, then head on to our online application by pasting this link into your browser: https://bit.ly/4d7XoKd

Story
Budley is a very handsome male, 2 yr old (DOB:10/27/21) Belgian Shepherd Dog(Malinois) mix. Budley was adopted as a young pup and lived inside a home with a cat for his friend and a teenage boy who adored him. Sadly, he lost his home during a divorce and was 1 hr away from being dumped after multiple attempts to find a shelter for him. A group effort of rescuers saved Budley and he is a fantastic dog! Budley sits on command and was already house, crate & leash trained. He has been vetted, microchipped is on heartworm prevention. He had to gain weight before he is neutered but that will happen very soon. This dog is so playful! He LOVES to play fetch, chasing after a toy but playing keep away when you try to get the toy back. He loves people and wants to play with other dogs. Although he is a XL dog, he would be a great family dog but may accidentally knock over small children. would prefer a family with kids 12 and up.

German Shepherd Dog

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
At 6 years old, she is a loyal and affectionate companion, particularly good with children, but notably protective. While she can acclimate to other dogs, her compatibility with cats remains uncertain. She is very protective, so it's best that you meet her at our property so we can give her a sense that all is well. We are eager to connect with families who can provide a nurturing environment for her. She deserves an active family. On a practical note, Camden enjoys walks two or three times daily and displays enthusiasm for more activity. She weighs 85 pounds and is vigilant and protective until assured of a person's safety. She is in great health and received all her shots in October. She has a manageable allergy that manifests as dry and itchy skin. We are actively treating with a prescription and working with her vet to move to an OTC option. As of 4/17/24, we are still looking for Camden a new home.

Story
We are offering the most regal and unusual Norwegian Elkhound female, named Svart (meaning dark in color) but we prefer to call her “Cleopatra”.  This gorgeous girl is the leader and Queen of them all.  Regal and fully confident, she is everything we know Cleopatra to have been back in her days of making history.  She is the epitome of a queen that is full of reigning power in her breeding pack.  This 5.5 year old girl is gorgeous and is 65 pounds.  Undeniably in charge , Cleopatra Svart insists on being the focus of your family’s life.  She can live in peace with other dogs but we don't think she would be good at dog parks with dogs rushing up to her face with no introduction. She is happy with all the humans she meets and she is part of a large pack of breeder dogs that her owner is asking Critter Cavalry Rescue to help place. She is downsizing and getting out of the breeding business.  Our Svart AKA Cleopatra, needs a place of her own inside a home with her dog bed throne to await her.  If you are interested in this regal queen, please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com She is ready for YOU to walk her down the red carpet to her new home. 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.April 28, 2024, 4:57 pm

Story
Gregarious Gail, as we call her, is just 21 months old and is a true beauty of a pure bred Norwegian Elkhound.  She possesses all the wonderful traits through and through. Gail is a special girl because as a puppy she had an infection that caused her to lose her tail and two toes on her back feet.  She is so cute with the shorter tail and it hasn't slowed her down a bit. In fact, Gail is a very active and athletic lady who can jump, run, spin and play.  Gail hasn't had much of a start in life and she deserves much more.   She is outgoing and very sweet and just a touch shy at first when she meets new people and new situations.  Critter Cavalry rescued her an overwhelmed Elkhound breeder and has promised this loving, loyal and friendly girl, to give her a family that will recognize her special bright spirit.  She gets along well with others and goodness just look at that beautiful face. She is going to make some person or family so very happy.  This rare breed is known for being extremely loyal, intelligent and sensitive.    If you are interested in owning a breed that is fast becoming rare in the U.S. then please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   She is ready for a fresh new start to her young life. 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.April 28, 2024, 4:57 pm
