Story
Meet Sweet Ruth . Ruth is a 2-year-old, 60-lb Boxer/Black Mouth Cur mix with a gentle heart and an incredibly smart mind. Before rescue, she survived on her own for at least 6 months in an industrial area, skillfully avoiding capture while kind mechanics made sure she had food. That survival intelligence still shines through today. One of our foster moms started tracking her story, and after months and a dramatic rescue at the end of December, Ruth moved into this foster mom's care and has proven to be a polite, fully house-trained houseguest. Even when scared, she has never shown aggression — only quiet caution. She’s shy, observant, and deeply gentle. Ruth reads the room beautifully. When unsure, she gives herself space. She’s still nervous about leashes and handling, but she now allows gentle muzzle scratches and is slowly learning that human touch can feel safe. Watching her begin to enjoy ear scratches and soft affection has been amazing. She’s wonderful with other dogs — playful when invited, calm when not — and happily coexists with dogs both big and small. At home, she’s a quiet shadow, content to lounge nearby while her foster mom works and zooms. Because of her past, Ruth is a high flight-risk dog early on. She needs a patient, committed adopter with a secure fenced yard, experience with fearful dogs, and safety tools like GPS collars and double leashes. Local adoption preferred, but the perfect Northeastern candidate might be worth the trip. Ruth is a sweet, food-motivated, and incredibly smart. With patience and time, she has all the makings of a once-in-a-lifetime companion.

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 who is 3-4 years old and 83 pounds,  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 ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.March 10, 2026, 1:46 pm

Story
Ruthie is a 2-year-old, 60-lb Boxer mix with a gentle soul and a brilliant mind. Before coming into rescue, Ruthie lived on her own for at least 6 months, skillfully evading capture, multiple trapping attempts, and surviving in an industrial area of town. Fed by kind mechanics and workers, she learned how to stay safe, avoid danger, and always show up for food — and that intelligence still shines through today. After a dramatic capture, Ruthie has been in a foster home, where she’s proven to be a very polite houseguest. She is fully house-trained and, even at her scariest moments, has never shown a hint of aggression — no growling, no raised lips, just fear. Ruthie is shy and deeply cautious with people, but she is sweet, gentle, and incredibly observant. We would not be surprised if Ruthie spent some of her life in someone’s home.  This brainy girl reads the room like a pro. She knows when a human might approach and will quietly skedaddle to keep herself feeling safe. While she’s still very nervous about leashes and handling, she allows most people to gently scratch her muzzle, and she’s learning — slowly but surely — that human touch isn’t such a bad thing. Watching her progress has been incredibly rewarding, especially as she’s started to enjoy ear scratches and soft affection from her foster mom. Ruthie is a great pack dog. She does beautifully with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and enjoys playful wrestling with dogs her size, but doesn’t demand play.  She happily coexists with the resident Chihuahua in her foster home. Ruthie is calm and content indoors and also enjoys a daily visit to the dog park. She’s a quiet presence who’s perfectly happy lounging on a chair, listening to her foster mom’s Zoom calls, and soaking in the safety of home life. At home, Ruthie is her foster mom’s quiet shadow. She sleeps in her room, wiggles with excitement when she comes home, follows her around the dog park — and yet may still hop off her bed and slip away if that same foster mom walks toward her for a pet. With Ruthie, trust is built in tiny, meaningful moments, and every day brings progress. Because of her history, Ruthie is a high flight-risk dog, especially in the early days. She will need a very committed adopter with a securely fenced yard, experience with fearful or flight-risk dogs, and a willingness to use safety tools like GPS collars, double leashes, and secure handling. Strength matters too — this is a 60-lb girl who needs someone confident and prepared. Ruthie has been around children at the dog park and treats them like little adults — with polite, reserved hesitation. She is food-motivated, sweet, and incredibly smart. With patience, structure, and time, she has all the makings of a truly special companion. Ruthie is one of those dogs who, with the right adopter and a few committed months of trust-building, will become a dream dog. Watching her finally relax, feel safe, and just be a dog has been an absolute privilege — and we can’t wait to see her find the forever home she deserves. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 28, 2026, 8:56 pm

Story
Meet Leonidas!  Hi! My name is Leonidas, but all my friends call me Leo. I'm kind of a celebrity around here, but don't worry, it still hasn't gone to my head. I am one of the longest residents here at the Humane Society, I've been in their care since August of 2021. I'm an American Bulldog mix, and the birthday they helped me choose is 08/19/2016. Now that I've got the boring stuff out of the way, let me tell you about me! If you'll indulge me in bragging for a moment, I'll tell you I am one of the BEST huggers you will ever meet. I have never met someone who didn't melt right in my paws. If you give the right first impression, good luck stopping me from giving you a snuggle. I love a good treat, I mean who doesn't? My friends have taught me a lot of basic commands, and if you give me a reward or use a clicker I will listen for sure. I'm also a sucker for a good chew toy. Rubber balls and hard toys are my absolute favorite! My friends like to give me Kongs filled with peanut butter, and I can't get enough of those. I could chew on a good toy for hours, honestly! A couple of things you should know about me are my HUGE fear of storms, for one. Way back before I lived at the shelter, I was shot in the shoulder area and the thunder just reminds me of that way too much. I'm fine now from the gunshot, though, not even a scar! I also want to be the only pet in the home. Other dogs and cats are fun to think about, but I don't actually want to be anywhere near them. I think kids are pretty fun! I love to give them big hugs and kisses, but they should be old enough to understand my boundaries. I can get a nervous if you hold me too firmly, and I know some really little ones don't understand that yet.  Leo is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee has been sponsored!  Interested? Call us at 615-446-7387 to get any additional information, or to set up an appointment to come and meet him.  ##1190205##

Meet Jack! If you’re looking for a handsome pup who’s just as sweet as he is stunning, Jack may be your guy! Jack is a wiggly pit bull mix with an estimated birthday of 10/01/2018, weighing around 75 lbs. He may be built like a tank, but at heart he’s a total softie—more teddy bear than tough guy. Jack loves to socialize and make new friends and is well known around the shelter for his signature smile. He has done great with other dogs during his time here, though we always require a meet & greet to make sure everyone is a good fit. Foster Needed – Heartworm Treatment Jack is currently heartworm positive and is looking for a loving foster home where he can relax and recover while undergoing treatment. Don’t worry—all medical care, medications, and supplies are fully covered by us. What Jack truly needs is a calm place to rest, lots of love, and someone to remind him how special he is. Jack is fully vetted and will be microchipped upon adoption once he’s ready. If you can open your heart and home to help Jack heal, you’d be making a life-changing difference for an incredibly deserving boy.  Interested in fostering Jack? Call us at 615-446-7387 or message us on Facebook to learn more. Let’s help Jack get healthy and one step closer to his forever home ##2551633##
