Story

Meet Nacho!! He is a handsome 18 month old Corgi/Australian Cattle Dog mix who weighs 29 pounds abd is a ton of fun. This boy has personality A+ and a heart full of affection. He's a smart young dog who is learning quickly and making great progress with his house training. Nacho loves spending time with people, especially kids, and enjoys playing with other dogs. He's an active, happy companion who would have thrive with a family that can continue his training and give him plenty of love and attention. One thing to know about Nacho is that he's not a fan of cats, so he'll do best in a cat free home. A fenced yard would be perfection but if with an active energized walking person or family, he could do that lifestyle too! Please email critter cavalry rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested. 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.comJuly 7, 2026, 5:13 pm
