TEDDY

Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever

Male, 2 yrs

Dover, ME

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Meet Theodore “Teddy” Bear! Teddy is 1–2-year-old Golden mix who weighs in at a dainty 68 pounds. For a Pyrenees/golden he’s definitely pocket sized! Teddy was found on a particularly hot July day trying to shop at Dillard’s department store in Memphis. He is the friendliest of pups, so he had no problem greeting customers with his big brown eyes and docile personality. Teddy got his name because he is, in fact, a giant teddy bear. He loves nothing more than sitting his giant head in your lap to show you that he has the softest ears and cutest freckles. He enjoys cuddling with everyone. Teddy loves all people and all dogs. He has not been tested with cats, but we are guessing he could probably care less. He enjoys watching guard over the house, but also loves to fall into a deep nap with a delightful grumble. If Teddy sang karaoke, it would be something chill from Dave Matthews Band or Rusted Root. His vibe is 100% mellow, and he would love his own people (and probably dog siblings). Teddy is a very smart boy who is housetrained (never an accident in the house) and heartworm negative. Transport is an additional $185. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

My name is Bailey and I am a certified Cutie Pie Bichon boy that is just a tad over 2 years of age and weighing 10-12 pounds. I am having to change my life around because my owner is a college student and her mom cannot care for me while she is off to college out of state. My young student mom is so heartbroken but she realizes that she has no time for me while in school and she wants me to have lots of attention and care from someone that will treasure me. Yes, I need to be groomed, but right now grooming appts. are tough to get quickly. My young mom contacted Critter Cavalry Rescue and was under a deadline for me to be surrendered immediately as she was going back to college the end of July. I am neutered and fully vetted. I prefer a mature environment with no small/young children as they make me nervous sometimes. I am going to be a prize for someone that has lots of time to take me for long walks and maybe they will work from home or will be a SAHM too. I have a long life ahead of me and I want someone that can care for me the next 15 years. If you think you can check all my boxes on my wish list that includes, taking me on long walks, grooming every 12 weeks, dentals that I will need later as I get older, bloodwork that I will need as I approach 6 or 7 years and just overall quality time every day, then please apply. I am excited about meeting the person that Critter Cavalry Rescue chooses. Could it be you? Write to them at ccrnewengland@gmail.comJuly 26, 2024, 2:09 pm

Oakley

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Milford, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Oakley is a 4 year old 55lb Male Mini Australian Shepherd. Though his breed is a Mini, Oakley is roughly the size of a small Standard Australian Shepherd. He is up to date on his shots including kennel cough and rabies. He was neutered shortly after turning 1. Oakley is a high energy dog who enjoys playing frisbee and pushing his herding ball around for hours on end. He also does well on a leash when going for walks. He is fully house/potty trained. My Wife and I have made the difficult decision to rehome Oakley due to safety concerns of our growing family. We currently have two young children. Over the last couple of years, Oakley has become more and more territorial of our home, making it impossible to have guests over (including barking when we receive deliveries or he sees a car in our driveway he does not recognize). We have run out of options and are trying to find an option for him asap.

LITTLE LADY 29 POUNDS

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, Adult

Portland, ME

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,

Story

My name is Lady and I am very special Shepherd mix girl that you might want to consider inviting me home to live with you forever. I am a young 3 year old girl that is only 29 pounds and just the perfect size and temperament for living in an apartment or condo with an active and fun owner. I am very versatile in where I can live and with whom. I love people of all ages and I like bigger dogs more than small dogs and I would prefer to NOT share my house with a cat. I love to watch the birds and chase them if I can. I have such a fun loving personality that is goofy and bouncy. I bounce like a rabbit when I chase a ball and I make everyone laugh with my really puppy-like ways. I am learning all the right commands and will be such a star when they are all polished and perfected. I do well on walks and with you at the other of the leash. I am never a problem. I have learned how to be quiet in the crate and I have been good at housebreaking. Tough toys like Kong’s and stuffed bones are good for me. I love to chew and stay busy and mentally stimulated because they tell me I am very smart. If you are looking for a fun companion that is easy to have around and to teach things to, then please consider me! Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and tell them where you live and that you think I could be the one for YOU!!!! PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.
