Story
This boy named Comet has had a story to his life that has not always been comfortable to know about.  He has survived a hip injury that was given an expensive surgery to correct and through all his early two years of owner neglect this boy has nothing but passionate love and sweetness for the people that are in his life.  Our videos are vast and say it all as you observe his desire to kind of absorb himself into his person’s body.  He is pure LOVE and softness as a soul that wants to be with you every minute of the day that you can allow him to be.  He is 2 years old and 47 pounds and a softly furred Border Collie mix boy that adores people and is good with all other animals that he encounters.  Comet is special.  We just cannot describe how special he truly is.  It is something we cannot explain. He is housebroken, crate trained (spent too much time in a crate from a  neglectful home) and he is good on a leash and loves to ride shotgun on car rides with you.  He is truly a dog with a human personality and movements and attitude that go far beyond dog behavior.  We can provide some of the best videos that would give you an open and transparent idea of just how special he is.  If you are interested please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  He is in Nashville, Tn and can travel northward if you are out of Tennessee. 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.comMarch 7, 2025, 2:04 pm

Story
This handsome Red Merle Border Collie is called Red Joe.  A handsome and petite guy that is strangely found himself lost and wondering up to a home in the countryside of Middle Tennessee.  To say he is stunning is an understatement.  He is a young boy that is about 1 year of age and weighing around 40 pounds.  He is inside living a nice warm and cozy foster life with the senior couple who discovered him in their yard.  After weeks of trying to see where he longed, they soon assumed that he was a lost little guy.  Critter Cavalry Rescue is taking him underwing and helping to find the perfect home that understands the intelligence and activity needed to raise a Border Collie.  Training is easy with such a bright and observant dog.  He is ready to watch and learn with a good teacher.  He is housebroken and  pretty good on a leash for having not been training for long.  He is going to be someone’s wonderful prize as a dog companion.  A fenced yard is a must and we are looking for someone that is not gone 9 hours a day.  But of course if needed to be gone continually perhaps a good Doggie Daycare could be used to keep him busy and socially in tune with other dogs.  He is good with dogs now but needs to continually find group time with them during the week if he is the only dog.  Read about the breed if you are not familiar.  They are not couch potatoes although this boy is good with chilling after he has had some activity outside.  Red Joe is soft and sweet and looking for the right owner who is spunky and active themselves!  If you are interested, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.  Do mention where you live: city and state.  We transport from Nashville, TN up the northeastern coast.  Out of state adoptions are welcomed. 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.comMarch 12, 2025, 11:16 pm

Story
We are calling them "Border Bullies"! Mama is a Border Collie, dad is a Pit Bull! I cannot imagine how smart these pups will be! They were born on October 13th. The owner of Nelly (mom) and Bruce (dad) unfortunately wound up in jail and obviously couldn't take care of this little family so they were surrendered to us on the day they were born. Both mom and dad have beautiful temperaments so I am quite sure these pups will be amazing! They will be available for adoption by January 11, 2025. They are all spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. How can you resist!! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $500

Story
This handsome 4.5 month old puppster is called Boy George and he is what you would call….a character.  A Border Collie mix puppy who is smart and mischievous and a leader in life.  He was born in a litter of 8 puppies around the middle of October and he was the biggest kid in the bunch. He is laidback yet very much an involved pup when it comes to creating dog events that are fun and inquisitive.  He is one that doesn’t back down because he knows that he can win the challenge with his tenacity.  Boy George has conquered all the obligations in his life to learn about housebreaking, crate time and how to walk on a leash with at least a B- rating.  Practice will make perfect when in a family that has more one on one time for him.  He is going to be a 55 pound boy once he is grown.  His Mom is Blue Eyed Kaye and she is a wonderful girl with a happy demeanor and has certainly passed it along to all her sweet offspring.  Boy George is a good pup but he is looking for an even smarter owner that will figure him out before he slips one in on you. He is loving and can be an attention grabber because when you are raised in a pack of 8 siblings, you kind of crave some private time for yourself.  Boy George will be a fun pup to raise and one that will excel at puppy training classes.  At 18 weeks of age and 32 pounds, he is a great size to take on car rides, walks on a trail or  your local neighborhood.  He will welcome new dogs and people to meet and did we mention that he LOVES CATS!   To our Boy George they are just another friend in life!   We will require a home with a securely fenced yard so that this boy can explore and hang out in the great outdoors/backyard.  He is not a digger and he is not a fence climber.  But he is a dog that requires the stimulation both physically and mentally every day.  Teach him things and he will make you a proud dog owner. Someone is looking for a dog like this.  Maybe an only dog in the home or just a great addition because he will be play buddies with anyone.  But always know that you must be the leader of your pack and Boy George.  He craves the boundaries and rules.  He thrives best not having his way and is so moldable.  If interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   Mention where you live, city and state.  Transport is available to the northeast outside of Tennessee where he is being fostered 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.comMarch 2, 2025, 10:06 pm

Story
This handsome scruffy black and white darling boy is called Ross and we have determined that he is a Border Collie/Border Terrier mix that is estimated to be 5 months old and weighs 14 pounds and destined to be around 35 pounds as an adult.  This boy and his sister, Rachel, were abandoned in a small rural area of Tennessee at a cabin that was a parttime retreat for a family that lived 200 miles away.  Fortunately ,the cabin’s doorbell camera  caught these puppies being abandoned and alerted the property owner that these poor puppies were in trouble with no food or water anywhere around.  To make matters worse, impending frigid weather was on its way to their area.  The doors opened and rescue forces got to work quickly to go and pick up the puppies and carry them to a Critter Cavalry Rescue foster home.   This puppy and his sister are both smart and anxious to please.  Ross wants to be someone's special Valentine. He is crate trained and learning what it's like to be in a warm and loving home.  It's hard to imagine that only 2 weeks ago some cold-hearted person dumped him and his sister Rachel to possibly die from lack of care or food.  God was with them in finding immediate help and they have been worth every effort.  So sweet and loving and innocent.  Beautiful pups with wiry faces and sleek Terrier bodies that bring a smile when you meet them.  Ross is being neutered on Feb. 4th and will be ready for a forever home on Valentine’s Day.  We estimate that he will grow to be a 40 pound handsome boy that will bring so much fun, love and adventure to the person or persons who adopt him.  If you are wanting a wonderful rescue puppy to raise and love then please consider Ross.   Critter Cavalry Rescue transports from Nashville, Tn to the northeast and of course local Tennessee adoptions are welcome, too.  Please email asking for an application to 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.comMarch 11, 2025, 9:45 pm
