Story

So you know about my namesake, right?? Well, I guess if you are not a Boomer, maybe not?? Mr Peabody was a dog, with special abilities.. he could talk, reason and even go to school. He got lonely and decided to adopt a boy to be his companion :) And his name was Sherman. They had all kinds of adventures but ALWAYS stuck together! That is what I am looking for now, too.... MY own COMPANION boy or girl! I am kind of a big lug, furry and cute and DEFINITELY the pick of the litter! I am like a big cuddle bug with lots of love and devotion to give you! Don't hesitate, Mr Peabody is your new bestest friend! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to you)

Story

My name is Brady, and I came into this world around December 1st — just in time to face one of the worst snow and ice storms in Nashville history. My mom, my three siblings, and I were found huddled together in a cold barn, trying our very best to stay warm. Thankfully, kind hearts found us, and now our story is one of hope instead of hardship. Our beautiful mama is an 80-pound Lab mix, but everyone says our dad must have been a Heeler — which means I likely won’t grow quite as big as Mom. At 8–9 weeks old, I weigh about 11 pounds, and they think I’ll grow into a handsome 60-pound gentleman one day. My foster mom says I’m a special kind of puppy. I have a calm, even-keeled temperament and an old-soul quality about me. While my siblings tumble and wrestle, I’m often content to sit back, observe, and entertain myself. I don’t mind being independent — in fact, I think I’d be perfectly happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love and attention. I’m smart, thoughtful, and eager to learn. I promise I’ll train easily and catch on quickly — I just need someone willing to show me the way. If my quiet confidence and handsome looks have captured your heart, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. I can be adopted locally in Tennessee, or I can ride the transport van to the Northeast on March 6th. Long-distance adoption is easy — you can speak directly with my foster family and even see videos showing just how sweet and gentle I truly am. I survived the storm that started my life. Now I’m just waiting for the warmth of a forever home. 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 24, 2026, 5:49 pm
