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

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. ccrnewengland@gmail.com 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.February 17, 2026, 10:23 pm

Story
💎🐾 Meet Crystal — A True Hidden Gem 🐾💎 Some dogs sparkle right away. Others take a moment… and then absolutely shine. Crystal is the second kind — and she’s worth the wait. Crystal is a 2–3 year old, 55-lb, spayed boxer/pittie mix with a stunning brown coat, a bold black muzzle, and eyes that tell you she’s thinking deep thoughts. She’s a little reserved at first, but once she feels safe, her playful, affectionate personality comes through in the best way. When Crystal chooses you, it’s something special. This girl loves getting out of her kennel, heading out for long walks, and exploring at her own pace — nose down, tail up, taking it all in. She’s not here for chaos or crowds; Crystal is an introvert at heart who would thrive in a calmer home with someone who appreciates a quieter, deeper connection. ✨ Why We Love Crystal: 🐾 Sweet and playful once she warms up 🐾 Enjoys walks and outdoor adventures 🐾 Does well with many dogs (meet & greets required) 🐾 Secret superpower: loves bath time — stands still and soaks up the attention 🐾 Loyal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to her person Crystal can get a little jumpy when she’s excited (who among us doesn’t?), but with patience, consistency, and kindness, she truly blossoms. She’s not looking for just anyone — she’s looking for her person. Someone who understands that the most meaningful bonds take time to grow. 🏡 Crystal is available through Hopewell Animal Services. Come meet her, give her a moment to feel safe, and let her show you just how beautiful she really is. 💎🐾

Story
Sanders was abandoned in a parking lot in Florida about 4 days before we took him in. After searching for an owner, we ultimately brought him home hoping he would be a good fit for our family. In so many ways he is! Loving and usually pretty tolerant. He is protective of his family, and unfortunately he did have a small incident with a delivery driver, so we gave him a more confined environment (ie keeping him on a line) which he has done well with. What we can’t modify is our lively home - three young boys mean lots of sudden noises and movement, which he mostly tolerates but has been unpredictably reactive. He would do much better in a bit calmer, adult only environment. We have some farm animals (goats, pigs) which he is not friends with but spends many hours staring at from the window. We don’t know how he would be with any other pets. We are hoping to find him a home that will love him like we do, but without the environmental challenges he encounters with us.
