Story

Rocky is one of those very special puppies that has an old soul kind of personality and is going to be a BIG BOY! This boy weighs 24 pounds at just 12 weeks and most probably will grow to be a 70 lbs adult. What you notice first about Rocky is his adorable freckled nose and his magical eyes that are lined in black. His body just lumbers around with a swerve from head to tail like his back feet are trying to keep up with his front feet. This handsome boy was found on a rural country road with his mom and all his 7 other siblings (8 total puppies). A call was made to us from the kind single mom of 2 children who took all of the puppies and the Momma Golden Retriever mix in and soon we had them all placed in foster homes. Momma is adopted and now we have started the search for great homes for the puppies. Rocky is the only puppy who has his unique look. His foster mom loves how he melts into her body when she picks him up or he lays on the sofa with her. He is around extra big dogs daily and this past Saturday Rocky spent all day at different Puppy Yoga events and then a 13 year old boy's birthday party just getting all the love and attention any puppy could want. He was so easy going and compliant and loved being carried around or sitting on someone's lap. Rocky is well on his way to learning the ropes of going outside and he sleeps through the night with his brother Beau in the exercise pen in the den. He is a good eater and he is not food aggressive in any way with any other dogs or people. This boy is going to be a special dog in your lifetime of owning dogs. Don't miss out on Rocky. He is ready for adoption on September 24th. He is currently in Nashville, TN and we transport to the northeastern states above Tennessee. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested. We cannot provide a meet and greet but can provide some videos and extensive conversations with the foster mom. 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 20, 2026, 9:28 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Smoky Bear! Bear is a 3 year old neutered male aussiedoodle. He was surrendered locally. At 53 pounds this sweet boy is obese and has started a diet and exercise program. Sadly Bear's previous owners were older folks who kept him crated far too much and gave way too much food and snacks. Bear is a snuggle bug who wants to cuddle with you while watching tv and keep you warm in bed. If you are looking for a wonderful companion Bear is your boy! Bear does well with other dogs of all sizes and fine with cats. Bear absolutely adores kids. Bear walks well on leash, is housebroken and crate trained. Bears new family will need to continue his diet and exercise.

Once approved a meet and greet at the farm will take place. If all are in agreement an adoption contract will be signed and adoption fee paid. Adoption fees for dogs are $500. for adults over 12 months, $600 for puppies 12 months and younger as well as small breed dogs.

Mickie

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos

Swanzey, NH

Size

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

Details

Story

Mickie is a sweet, 4-year-old, approximately 35-pound mixed-breed girl who has been making wonderful progress as she settles into a new environment. She previously lived in a home with many other dogs and is dog social. Mickie is a thoughtful communicator who lets you know when she needs a little space. She would likely do best with a similarly sized, dog-savvy canine companion, and MHS can help determine whether your current dog would be a good match.When Mickie first arrived, she was very fearful and needed several days to feel comfortable. With patience and a gentle approach, she has made impressive strides. She has slowly learned to accept being leashed and harnessed, and she now welcomes and even leans into affection, especially chin and neck scratches. It has been wonderful to watch her confidence grow.As Mickie continues to settle in, her social personality is really beginning to shine. She definitely prefers the company of people, and will do best in a home that can minimize time she spends alone. She`d likely benefit from dogsitters, doggie daycare, and taking field trips with you!Mickie is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can continue building confidence while discovering all the good things that come with being loved. With time, trust, and a little encouragement, this lovely girl has the potential to be a wonderful companion.

Clifford

Good with dogs,

Story

Clifford (approximately 78 pounds) was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. This dude is an absolute rock star!! He is gentle despite his size and he loves all people and all other dogs. Even if he wasn't named Clifford, people would still call him by that name as he is very clearly a Big Red Dog. He is also ridiculously handsome which is difficult to capture in photos because Clifford has no interest in being a supermodel - all he wants to do is lean on your legs and get petting. Bonus points if he can slide down to the ground and roll over for belly petting! And while he is 78 pounds of total beefcake, he is actually underweight so his adopters will have a larger dog once he's being properly fed in a loving home. We have yet to find a person who doesn't fall in love with Clifford - come meet him today & see for yourself!If you'd like to meet Clifford and all his friends at the New Hampshire SPCA, please visit our Adoption Center during our open hours: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day except Wednesdays (closed). Plus, this fall, we will be open until 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays! Have questions? Call (603) 772-2921 ext. 110 or email info@nhspca.org today.
