Meet Bunny — the only “Bunny” who won’t hop away when you call him!      This boy was found as a stray, but he’s hopped right into family life like a pro. House- and crate-trained? Yup. Leash-trained? You bet. Great with dogs? Absolutely. Currently sharing his home with five kids, two adults, and a pack of pups — basically a full house of fun, and Bunny fits right in!   Sweet, social, and ready for his forever family, Bunny’s hoping his next leap lands him right into someone’s heart (and maybe on their couch).  Want the sweetest “Bunny” you’ll ever meet? Apply to adopt him today — he’s all ears!    Bunny is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $450.    Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training   prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION!

Story
  This inquisitive boy with the beautiful black scruffy face and Lab-style body is ready to steal someone’s heart.  Ben is just 9 months old, weighs about 35 pounds, and will likely mature into a perfect 45–50 pound adult — the ideal “not too big, not too small” size for just about any home. Ben and his sister Jerri (yes… Ben & Jerri ) were recently rescued from a rural shelter in Tennessee after being removed from a severely neglected situation where too many animals and too little food were the norm. What’s remarkable is that you would never know it. There is no fearfulness, no shutdown behavior, no emotional baggage — just a happy, bright, affectionate boy puppy who is thrilled to finally be noticed. Ben absolutely craves personal attention, and when you give it to him, he is so very happy and giddy almost. He is eager to please, highly food motivated, and going to be a dream to train. He’s already walking nicely on leash despite having almost no prior experience, which speaks volumes about her intelligence and willingness to learn. He’s playful, affectionate, and soaking up structure and routine like a sponge.   His look is unforgettable.  He has that wiry, scruffy coat you can’t stop petting, with adorable chin whiskers that give him a touch of Irish Wolfhound charm. When the sun hits his sleek black coat, it shines beautifully. He’s the kind of dog people stop and ask about. Ben is working on crate training and is mostly housebroken with only the occasional puppy mishap — all part of adjusting to a new life filled with stability and love. His future is incredibly bright. All he needs now is someone to choose him.  What does he promise in return? Loyalty. Gratitude. A whole-hearted kind of love that only a rescued dog can give. If you’re ready to give Ben the forever home he deserves, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Be sure to tell us where you live when inquiring. We adopt to Tennessee residents and also transport to the northeastern corridor of states.  Ben is ready and waiting..   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.comFebruary 28, 2026, 11:20 pm
