Story
Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. 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.June 11, 2025, 9:36 pm

Story
  Meet Isaac – A Loyal, Lovable Lab Mix Looking for His Forever Adventure!   If you're looking for a best friend with a heart of gold, a playful spirit, and soulful eyes that say 'I’m ready to love you forever', then say hello to Isaac – the sweet and handsome black Lab mix who’s ready to start the next chapter of his life with YOU.   Isaac’s story began in a small-town litter of five puppies, where resources were few and adoption opportunities even fewer. Lucky for him, a kind senior gentleman saw something special in young Isaac and brought him home. But as Isaac grew into his playful, energetic self, it became clear that raising a rambunctious puppy wasn’t the right fit. With love and honesty, his adopter returned him—still believing Isaac deserved the best life possible.   Now 7 months old and 40 pounds of happy energy, Isaac has been given a fresh start through a dedicated rescue network—and he’s thriving! He’s already neutered, fully vetted, and well on his way to being housebroken (no more tiny puppy chaos!). Best of all, he’s past the intense chewing phase and settling into his more mature, eager-to-please self.   Friendly, affectionate, and people-focused Great older puppy energy—playful but manageable Would thrive with a fenced yard or active lifestyle‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Loves to run, play, and stay active with his people Smart, alert, and ready to learn House training head start - doing great! Fully vetted, neutered, and healthy   Isaac greets everyone with a tail wag and a joyful presence. His kind face is full of hope, his spirit is loyal and loving, and his mission is simple: find a forever family who will treasure him just as much as he treasures them.   Whether you’re an active single looking for a trail buddy or a family searching for a loving companion to grow up alongside your kids, Isaac is ready to give you his heart—and maybe a few goofy zoomies, too.    To adopt this wonderful boy, email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and give Isaac the home he’s been waiting for.   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 5, 2025, 1:19 pm

Story
   Pashia – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Dog Looking for Her Person    There are dogs who come and go in our lives... and then there are dogs like Pashia — the kind of soul who doesn’t just enter your world, she changes it.  At 2 years old and 55 pounds, Pashia is a breathtaking blue-eyed Husky with a quiet strength and a heart that speaks volumes once it trusts you. She’s not just looking for a home — she’s looking for her person. Someone who sees beyond the pretty face and into the smart, loyal, sensitive spirit that lies beneath.  This girl has so much love to give, but she doesn’t give it away to just anyone — and that’s what makes it so special. Once Pashia chooses you, it’s for keeps. She will be your shadow on the trails, your snuggle buddy during movie nights, your calm presence on quiet mornings. The bond you build with her won’t be just another pet relationship — it will be deep, soulful, and unforgettable. Pashia is beautifully balanced — playful and silly with her toys (she treasures them and never destroys them), yet calm and observant when the day winds down. She loves sitting by a window or glass door, just watching the world — as if taking it all in with a quiet kind of wisdom. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps soundly through the night. She walks well on leash and enjoys slow strolls where she can take in the sights, scents, and sounds of nature.  She’s a work of art in motion — elegant and athletic — and would thrive with someone who wants a partner for outdoor adventures. But more than anything, she wants a heart to anchor to.  Because of her past, she takes time to trust, and she’s selective with some dogs — especially those with dominant personalities. She’s done well with older or submissive male dogs and could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. She just needs a home that’s calm, structured, and full of love. Someone who understands that earning the affection of a dog like Pashia isn’t instant — but is entirely worth the wait.  Pashia has grown so much and overcome so many quiet battles. Now, she’s ready to settle into a life where she can feel safe, loved, and understood. If you’re someone who doesn’t just want a dog, but wants one to be 'your' dog — the kind of companion who looks into your eyes and just gets you — then Pashia may be the one you've been waiting for. &#226&#156&#168 Give her the fairytale ending she deserves. Email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet Pashia. Because once she lets you into her heart… you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.   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.comSeptember 4, 2025, 4:22 pm

Story
  Meet Cubby – Your Adventure Buddy and Best Friend! Breed: Husky Mix | Age: 2.5 years | Weight: 50 lbs Cubby is a stunning Husky mix with soulful eyes and a heart of gold. After being rescued from an overcrowded backyard situation, this sweet boy has blossomed in foster care and is now ready to find his forever family.   Cubby has discovered the joys of life—walks, playtime, snuggles, and, most of all, people! He’s affectionate, smart, and always seems to be trying to understand everything around him with those expressive eyes. He’s especially great with children and loves being part of a family.   An energetic and athletic pup, Cubby thrives on adventure. He loves long walks, hiking, backpacking, playing fetch, running beside a bike, and splashing in the water. If you lead an active lifestyle, Cubby might just be your perfect match. And when the day is done? He’s happy to chill on his dog bed, content just being near his people.   Cubby currently lives with two other dogs and absolutely loves playing with them. He would thrive in a home with a fenced yard and another dog buddy—or as your one-and-only if he gets plenty of exercise and enrichment.   Cubby is not just a dog—he’s a loyal companion, hiking partner, and forever friend who will bring joy, laughter, and love to your life. All he needs is a family who will give him the active, loving home he deserves.    Fostered in Tennessee   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.comMay 15, 2025, 6:39 pm

Meet Puppy Coco!!  She is as sweet as Hershey's chocolate and as nutty as a Mounds bar!!!  If you're looking for a wonderful 5-month-old puppy to join your family, then you've found her!  Coco will not let you down.  She is full of energy and loves to play.  Coco has two speeds: all out and running around, or neutral, asleep, refueling to go again.  She gets along great with other dogs, and she loves people.  Coco would be a great family dog, but might be too much for toddlers.  She is working on DOWN, but does still jump on you.  We would not want anyone to get knocked over!  However, if that did happen, lots of kisses would let you know that Coco was sorry.  She is just 100% puppy.  Coco needs an active family.  A family that will teach her to walk like a lady, take her on hikes, or even run.    She would be in heaven with all this activity.  Coco would be an excellent companion for another active puppy or young dog.  She currently has playmates but could probably adjust to life as an only dog.  Humans are good playmates, too!  Coco is ready to find her forever family.  We hope it will be with you.  Coco is spayed, current on all shots, on monthly preventative and microchipped.  To be considered for Coco's forever family and to request an application, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Coco is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)July 9, 2025, 8:05 pm
