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

Story

We're giving away a friendly and sweet little dog for adoption. She's affectionate, cheerful, and loves being around people. We've had her since December. Her owners moved to South Carolina and asked us to help her find a good, loving home.She likes to ask for food, and she pees in her diapers on the floor. She's calm. We can't keep her because dogs aren't allowed where we rent. We live in New Hampshire. Please let me know ...

Prince

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 11 yrs 9 mos

Swanzey, NH

Size

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

Story

Meet Prince, a 12-year-young Husky/Aussie mix with the sweetest, easygoing personality you could ask for. This handsome senior gentleman is all about the simple joys in life—leisurely strolls, comfy spots to nap, and hopping in the car for a ride. Prince is potty trained, doesn’t need to be crated, and has a great track record living with other dogs. He’s also spent short periods around cats without any issues and is wonderful with kids of all sizes. He truly is a gentle, go-with-the-flow kind of guy.Prince is currently a bit overweight, so he’ll benefit from regular walkies and some support on his weight loss journey—nothing intense, just steady, healthy progress to help him feel his best. He does have a big fear of thunder and lightning, so he’ll need a little extra comfort during storms (your vet can help you prepare ahead of time, especially for holidays like the Fourth of July). Nail trims are pretty scary for him too, and he’ll do best with low-stress handling and possibly some pre-visit medication to make vet appointments easier. Prince is ready to settle into a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by patience, kindness, and plenty of belly rubs.

Story

Legacy is a female perfectly marked, long haired chocolate and white female Chihuahua born on December 31, 2025. The word “adorable' doesn’t do justice. Legacy is full of life, energy, love and playfulness. We took her sweet Mom in for the owner and our experienced foster helped whelp the puppies. After weaning, Mom will be spayed and returned to owner; it’s a responsible way to handle the situation and we are thrilled to be asked to assist in finding great homes for puppies, and spaying and returning Mom. Legacy has only known the best care and has had her start in a loving environment. She has started vaccinations, deworming and proper vet care. Adoption fee $450.

Story

Mayhem is a male blonde/light tan and white male Chihuahua, born on December 31, 2025. Cute and soulful, Mayhem might be the most incorrectly named dog there ever was. He is far calmer than his sisters and prefers to be loved by people rather than to participate in their wild shenanigans. He is pure sweetness and love. We took his sweet Mom in for the owner and our experienced foster helped whelp the puppies. After weaning, Mom will be spayed and returned to owner; it’s a responsible way to handle the situation and we are thrilled to be asked to assist in finding great homes for puppies, and spaying and returning Mom. Mayhem has only known the best care and has had his start in a loving environment. He has been started on vaccinations, deworming and proper vet care. Don’t expect to get anything done if you adopt this baby, you will both be too enamored with one another to do anything else. Adoption fee $400. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is weekly.
