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 ccrtennessee@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 and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Puppy

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hartman is a strong little pup in every way. He is a Red Heeler through and through! Found with his Momma Red Heeler on a isolated country backroad in Middle Tennessee, he was part of a litter of 6 pups who were only 3.5 pounds when found.. Probably 4-5 weeks old. That was Feb. 13th, 2026. This little family was heartlessly dropped off for reasons the good humans in this world cannot understand. The good samaritan who found them was kind enough to bring them to the already crowded rural shelter and within 2 days they were in the care of a wonderful Critter Cavalry Rescue foster home who helps with litters like this. We have determined that perhaps the litter was born around the first of January 2025. The story behind this throw away pure bred Red Heeler momma and her puppies will never be known but the future of their story will be shaped by Critter Cavalry's efforts to help raise these puppies in foster homes and find the puppies and their momma find perfect Heeler loving homes. This smart, energetic pup loves to be in the middle of the action and has already started showing off his natural herding instincts—he’s been known to help “round up” the kids in the yard. Gently but with a purpose. Some parents need the help and welcome it. Others might not and the puppy can be shown that humans do not need the herding help. Hartman was named this because he has a beautiful and perfect heart shaped spot on the top of his head. As of March 6th he is 8 pounds and one day should be only 35 pounds tops. So cute! What his foster mom says, is that he would thrive in an active home, especially one with plenty of space to run and explore. A big yard or property where he can have a job would be a dream come true for this clever boy. Heelers are known for their intelligence, and Hartman is no exception—he’s eager to learn and loves to please his people. After a good play session, Hartman is more than happy to settle in for some couch time and soak up all the affection he can get. He’s a sweet, loyal companion who enjoys being close to his humans. Hartman is currently being fostered with young kids, large dogs, and a cat. He’s done well with everyone so far, though he’s still a little unsure about the cat and may bark. With proper introductions and a dog-savvy cat, we think he’ll adjust just fine. If you’re looking for a handsome pup who is smart, loyal and ready for adventure—and cuddles—Hartman might be your perfect match! Please contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com We can adopt to Tennessee residents where he is fostered and we also transport to the northeast as well to families outside of Tennessee. We transport most weekends. Out of state adoptions will be ready around April 10th. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.April 4, 2026, 9:42 pm

PUPPY HICKORY

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Puppy

Franklin, TN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hickory is the sweetest boy!!! This Red Heeler boy pup is one of the sweetest boy pups and his tenderness makes him the puppy who loves being close to his people. When he’s let outside for playtime, his first instinct is to greet whoever is nearby—just to make sure they know he’s there. He can be a little shy at first, but once he realizes you’re safe, he quickly comes out of his shell and shows his affectionate side. His back story is that he was found with his momma and her 6 puppies, on a country back road in Middle Tennessee, loose and running helter skelter. This family of momma and 6 puppies were heartlessly dropped off for reasons we will never understand. Momma is a pure bred Red Heeler called Red Sedona and also seeking a new and Heeler savvy, loving home. The family was found on Feb. 13th and taken to the local small overcrowded shelter. Two days later Critter Cavalry Rescue had a wonderful foster mom who helps with litters and their mommas, take them in and get them started on a good path of medical care and human love and socializing. For a pure bred Heeler, Hickory is on the calmer side and definitely an observer. At just 8 weeks of age he is only 7 pounds and one day should be a 30-35 pounds smaller Heeler. He would thrive with an active family that has space, a fenced yard and lots of outdoor time spent doing things that satisfies his herding nature and working breed traits. He loves to explore and would love to have jobs to perform. He is already showing those classic Heeler instincts by trying to herd the kids around the yard. Dog savvy children will be fine with this. After some much-needed playtime, Hickory is happiest snuggling up next to you for a cozy nap. Because he comes from a highly intelligent breed of dog, you will need to be smarter than him at all times. He is already catching on to potty training and knows that a crate is necessary for nighttime sleep and containment. He is so compliant to all of the new training he is being taught. He loves it. Hickory is currently being fostered with young kids, large dogs, and a cat. He’s done well with everyone so far, though he’s still a little unsure about the cat and may bark. With proper introductions and a dog-savvy cat, we think he’ll adjust just fine. If you are interested in adopting this very smart and sweet pup, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us where you live. We adopt to not only our Tennessee residents where our rescue is located, but we adopt to the northeastern states as well. If being adopted out of state, he will be ready early April. If local to Tennessee, he is ready now to continue his training and bonding with a family in a new Tennessee home. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.March 8, 2026, 9:04 pm

Story

“Otis the Adventurer” Otis is a handsome 3-year-old Aussie mix with a sweet heart and a curious spirit. We know his mom was an Australian Shepherd, and while Dad remains a mystery, Otis definitely inherited the intelligence and loyalty that make this breed so special. At around 45–50 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion. Otis is the kind of dog who makes living with a dog easy. He is house trained, well-mannered, and respectful as he lives inside the home—no chewing furniture, stealing food, or getting into trouble. He’s calm for an Aussie, incredibly sweet-natured, and great with kids. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of the family and enjoy life alongside his people. He also gets along very well with other dogs, so he would likely thrive in a home with a canine buddy to share adventures with. Recently after moving from his previous home, he found himself living without a privacy fenced yard. Otis does have one little quirk—he’s an explorer at heart. If given the opportunity, he’d happily set off to see what the world has to offer! Because of that adventurous streak, a privacy fenced yard is important to keep him safe while he enjoys his outdoor time. Currently he gets out of the non-privacy fenced yard and it is dangerous for him. His family is worried but they cannot afford to do the proper fencing that he needs. So.....they asked Critter Cavalry Rescue to help them find him a safe and secure home with the inescapable fence. We are just looking for the home that Otis can thrive in safely. Otis is a well-mannered dog just looking for a home where he can be loved, included, and kept safe while still enjoying the fresh air and sunshine he loves. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle, well-behaved companion who will happily spend his days by your side. We think he is the best choice for a family not wanting a puppy who is in the chewing and puppy antic stage of life. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing dog with a little adventurous spirit, Otis may be the perfect match. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com Tell us where you live, city and state. We adopt to Tennessee residents, where our rescue is based and we have a transport company that takes adopted dogs to the northeastern region to adopting families almost every weekend. Please let us know where you live when asking about Otis. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.March 16, 2026, 11:24 pm
