Story
  There are some things in rescue work that are simply impossible to understand. One of those things is how anyone could throw a big, beautiful black Boxer from a moving truck and drive away.   But that is how Troy’s story began. On a quiet country road, good people working in their yard witnessed the unthinkable. They saw a truck slow down just enough to push this large dog out onto the pavement. He hit the ground on his head, dazed and bleeding, while the truck sped off without a second glance. Confused and hurting, Troy didn’t know who to trust. It took time, patience, and soft reassurance before he would allow those same strangers to help him. When he finally climbed into their backseat, his big, injured head rested in his rescuer’s lap the entire drive — seeking comfort even after such betrayal.   Physically, Troy has healed well. His wounds have closed and his strength has returned. But emotionally, you can still see that he is waiting for someone to prove that he is safe… truly safe… forever. And here is the remarkable part — Troy is an exceptional dog.   He is sweet, obedient, and wonderfully behaved in the home. He does not dig, does not climb fences, and respects his space. He wants structure, kindness, and someone to belong to. While he can coexist with some larger dogs, he would truly flourish as the only dog in the home where he doesn’t have to compete for affection. Cats are not a good match for him. A securely fenced yard would give him the freedom to stretch his legs and enjoy life while feeling protected. Troy doesn’t need pity. He needs commitment. He needs a Boxer lover who understands the loyalty and devotion this breed gives and who is ready to return that devotion tenfold. Someone who will look into his soulful eyes and promise that he will never again be discarded or unwanted. We have helped him start over. Now we are praying the right person will step forward and give him the stable, joyful future he deserves.   If you believe you could be that person for Troy, please contact 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.comFebruary 21, 2026, 12:42 pm

Meet Pepper & Princess – A Beautiful Boxer Duo 💕 Pepper and her daughter Princess are a bonded pair of Boxers with hearts as big as their smiles. They came into our rescue several months ago after their owner experienced life changes and could no longer care for them. When they arrived, both girls were underweight and had never received proper veterinary care. They were heartworm positive and neither had been spayed.

Story
Meet Pepper & Princess – A Beautiful Boxer Duo 💕 Pepper and her daughter Princess are a bonded pair of Boxers with hearts as big as their smiles. They came into our rescue several months ago after their owner experienced life changes and could no longer care for them. When they arrived, both girls were underweight and had never received proper veterinary care. They were heartworm positive and neither had been spayed. Thanks to the love and dedication of our rescue, Pepper and Princess are now fully up to date on vaccines and have successfully completed heartworm treatment. They’ve come such a long way and are healthier, happier, and ready for their next chapter. Personality-wise, these two are absolute gems. They are incredibly sweet, gentle, and polite — no jumping here! They do wonderfully with other dogs, puppies, and even cats. Their calm, loving nature makes them a joy to be around. Pepper and Princess are crate trained and stay in their crates when left home alone. Their crates are their cozy, safe spaces, and they settle in without any issues. These girls would thrive in a home where they can truly be part of the family — lounging nearby, soaking up love, and enjoying life together. Because of their close bond, it would be a dream come true for them to be adopted together, though the most important thing is finding them a loving, stable home. If you’re looking for loyal companions with gentle hearts and a touching story of resilience, Pepper and Princess may be the perfect match for you. If you are interested in these two girls, please message us and we will send you an application. They are being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road!

Story
🚨 URGENT — RIVER NEEDS A SAFE PLACE NOW 🚨 River came into the shelter as a stray, but you would never know it by how loving he is. This sweet boy is dog-friendly, full of happy wiggles, and lights up when someone gives him attention. He loves treats, loves people, and just wants to be close — the kind of dog who makes you smile without even trying. The shelter environment is no place for a happy, social boy like River, and his time is limited. He deserves a chance to be someone’s loyal companion instead of becoming just another dog lost in the system. 💔 River is URGENT and needs a foster, rescue, or adopter now. 🐾 Very sweet temperament 🐾 Dog-friendly 🐾 Happy wiggles when excited 🐾 Loves attention and treats Please help us get River out before it’s too late. He’s ready to love someone — he just needs that someone to say yes. ❤️ PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298252

Story
🆘 URGENT — BABY MOCHI NEEDS A SAFE PLACE 🆘 Meet Mochi, a 4-month-old puppy who should be learning what love feels like — not learning to be scared of the world. Mochi came in as a stray and is very frightened in the shelter environment. Everything is new and overwhelming for him, and it’s clear he hasn’t had much experience with people yet. Even though he’s scared, he is very sweet and gentle at heart — a soft little soul who just needs patience and kindness to help him feel safe. ✨ Puppy — only 4 months old ✨ Dog-friendly ✨ Gentle and sweet despite being scared ✨ Needs love and confidence building Right now, the shelter is a terrifying place for a baby like Mochi. With a calm foster or loving home, he has so much potential to blossom into a happy, confident companion. 💔 Please don’t let fear be what defines his future. Mochi needs someone willing to show him that people can be safe and love can be gentle. PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152
