Story
You won't find a more handsome, intelligent or silly boy than Sidney. He is about 3.5 years old and weighs 84 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show some barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he shows absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system) He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application

Story
Meet Freya, a stunning 4-year-old, 50-pound Norwegian Elkhound who embodies everything people love about this ancient and noble breed. With her soft coat, expressive eyes, and gentle spirit, Freya is one of those dogs who quietly wins your heart before you even realize it’s happening. She can be shy and a little nervous when meeting new people, but once she understands that you’re kind and safe, she opens up beautifully. Freya quickly becomes a devoted companion who wants to stay close, soak in affection, and share her sweet, loving nature. Those tender moments—when she melts into you after hearing she’s a “pretty girl”—are just priceless. Freya enjoys toys and balls, though she prefers her own style of play. Fetch isn’t her passion, but she loves batting her ball around, scooping it up, and prancing proudly with it. A securely fenced yard is ideal for her, giving her space to explore, run, and show off her adorable zoomies. Like many Elkhounds, she thrives in cooler weather and will happily go in and out of the door for fresh air as often as you’ll allow. This smart girl is both crate trained and potty trained. She absolutely loves spending time outdoors with her people and finds the world endlessly fascinating—especially birds, squirrels, and anything that moves just fast enough to keep her attention. She has seen a cat in her foster home and is quite intrigued and focused; we are happy to continue cat-testing for any adopter who needs clarity. Norwegian Elkhounds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, confidence, and strong bond with their families. Freya is a wonderful example of all these qualities and is ready to give her heart to someone who will appreciate her gentle soul and steady devotion. If Freya sounds like the companion you’ve been waiting for, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue 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.comNovember 26, 2025, 8:42 pm

Story
Meet Silas, our gorgeous purebred Norwegian Elkhound puppy who is already stealing hearts Born at the end of October, 2025, Silas weighed 14 pounds as of 12/25—and this handsome boy is definitely going to grow into a big, impressive guy, likely around  50-60 pounds when full grown. Silas spent his early weeks exactly how puppies should—with his mama and littermates, learning important dog-to-dog skills and building confidence through play and nurturing. Now that he’s with us, he’s beginning the next chapter of his life: discovering how wonderful people can be and learning what it means to be part of a family. Because Silas didn’t have much hands-on human interaction early on, he can be a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you. Once he warms up, his playful, joyful personality shines through. He loves running around, wrestling with other puppies, and—best of all—playing with real toys for the very first time! Watching him discover simple joys like toys, grass, and sunshine has been incredibly rewarding. True to his breed, Silas adores the outdoors. Norwegian Elkhounds are known for their outdoorsy nature, and Silas is no exception. He loves being outside, rolling in the grass, soaking up the sun, and just having fun, fun, fun! He is doing well learning to use pee pads and is also beginning to understand outside potty breaks. With continued patience, consistency, and love, he will thrive and blossom into an amazing companion. Silas will be ready for adoption in mid-January.  A fenced yard is required, as this active, happy boy will need space to safely explore and play. If you’re interested in giving Silas the loving home he deserves, please email    Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Silas is ready to bond deeply with his people and grow into the loyal, fun-loving Elkhound he was meant to be. 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.comJanuary 5, 2026, 6:36 pm
