Story
Meet Amber, a girl whose name couldn’t be more fitting. Just like the soft glow of amber itself, she radiates warmth, comfort, and a gentle kind of joy that reaches you the moment you meet her. At 2 years old and 65 pounds, this gorgeous Collie mix is the very definition of a loving companion—sweet, affectionate, and always hoping to be close enough for you to feel the steady beat of her loyal heart. Amber’s story began in a tiny rural community, where she wandered alone until kind locals stepped in to help her. No one came forward to claim her, but maybe that’s because her real family is still out there—someone who will recognize that she was meant for them. When Critter Cavalry Rescue brought her in, they immediately saw it: her remarkable intelligence, her eagerness to bond, and her gentle, soulful spirit. Amber enjoys every simple pleasure with pure gratitude—exploring the world on her harness, leaning in for affection, and curling up with her beloved stuffed bunny, who has become her constant companion. She loves being brushed, loves being talked to, and really loves being included. Amber gets along with other dogs, though her enthusiasm may be a bit much for calmer companions. As for cats… well, they’re a little mysterious and intimidating to her. But people? She adores them—wholeheartedly. This beautiful girl is ready to become someone’s heart dog… that once-in-a-lifetime companion who fills a home with warmth, softness, and quiet devotion. If you are looking for a dog who will love you with her whole soul, who will share every moment by your side, and who will glow with gratitude for the rest of her life, Amber may be the one you’ve been waiting for.   If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@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.

Story
At just around 3 years old, this black-and-white spotted sweetheart has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. He arrived emaciated, dehydrated, and on the brink of collapse. Thanks to emergency care—and his own incredible spirit—Mowgli has made a remarkable recovery and is thriving. Medium-sized and currently around 35 pounds, Mowgli is still gaining healthy weight and watching his coat grow back in. Despite all he’s been through, he’s remained endlessly gentle and hopeful. He may be a little hand-shy at first, but he warms up quickly and loves to please. Smart, treat-motivated, and curious, he’s eager to learn and experience more of the world. Mowgli adores other dogs and plays beautifully with them, but he’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. He’s crate-trained, learning leash manners, and figuring out the comforts of home life. Because new sights and sounds can still overwhelm him, Mowgli will need patience as he builds confidence—but he’s playful, loving, and already showing those signature cattle dog smarts. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s come back stronger than ever and is ready to start his next chapter, Mowgli just might be your perfect match. His adoption fee is $275 and he is fully vaccinated, neutered microchipped and on prevention. Please note that we are a completely volunteer run organization and may take 48 hours to respond. Please make sure to fully complete your application. If responses are not complete, you may not be contacted due to the volume of applications. We can only set up meet and greets once an application has been approved. Thank you for understanding.

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.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.

Story
   Meet Faithful & True – A Heart as Devoted as Her Name  There are dogs who love you... and then there are dogs like Faithful & True, who live for you. This 2½-year-old, 30-pound Australian Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix is a pint-sized bundle of energy, brains, and unshakable loyalty. Her name says it all — she is steadfast, devoted, and once you earn her trust, she will give you her whole heart without hesitation. Faith is always in motion — a natural-born herder with a quick mind and faster feet. She’s happiest when she has a purpose: running, playing, watching the yard, or simply staying close to her person. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who chooses you above all else, she’s already halfway there.  What makes Faith special? She’s a confident, clever girl who thrives on routine, purpose, and companionship A bit shy at first, she’ll circle around until she decides you’re worth loving — and she always does She’s excellent in the house: crate trained, leash trained, and has her own favorite chair for TV time Her herding instincts are strong — including some heel nipping — but easily managed by someone familiar with the breed or confident in calm, consistent leadership Faith does well with other dogs who understand her spirited ways, and she takes correction with grace. But busy homes with young kids might be too much for her sensitive, always-on-the-go nature. She has enough buzz for everyone!  If you know and love the Cattle Dog or Kelpie spirit — the loyalty, the drive, the sharp mind wrapped in a devoted heart — then you already understand the kind of rare gift Faithful & True is. All she asks is a fenced yard, a gentle but confident leader, and someone to tell her every day how good, smart, and beautiful she is. She’ll believe you — because it’s all true.  Ready to meet the girl who will love you like no one else?Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com – Faithful & True is waiting, and she already knows your name.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
We are delighted to say that during this beautiful season of renewal and friendship and family bonding, we have 8 precious little Border Collie/Aussie mix puppies that are looking for a fresh and forever start to their life. Born about the middle of October to a beautiful Aussie mix mom, these babies were fortunately taken in by a senior couple who nurtured them for 7 weeks.  Now these precious beauties are in individual foster homes and learning so much as they grow.  5 boys and 3 girls.  They are handled and cuddled so much!  No fear issues have touched their spirit!   Mom is a 45 pound white and black beauty and we expect each of these smart pups to be in the 45-50 pound range as an adult.  If you were interested in adopting, please right to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
