Story
  Meet Wyatt! ❤️ Wyatt is a 4-month-old Hound mix puppy with the most adorable puppy dog eyes, floppy ears, A soul full of charm, and a playful spirit that will steal your heart. He came to a wonderful rescue group as part of a stray pack of nine dogs trying to survive on their own.  Now this sweet boy is safe and ready to find a family of his very own. Wyatt is a friendly, social puppy who loves being around other dogs and enjoys having playmates to romp in the play yard with. Like most Hound puppies, he is curious about the world and always eager to explore new sights and smells. He is still just a baby, so Wyatt will need continued training, patience, and guidance as he grows. One thing we know for sure is that he has all the makings of a wonderful companion to most types of families.  With love and structure, he is going to grow into a loyal, fun-loving best friend. After a rough start to life, Wyatt is finally getting the chance every puppy deserves — safety, love, and hope for a brighter future.   Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested and please tell us where you live when you inquire.  We adopt from our Tennessee location where we were established and also we adopt to the northeastern coast of states.  We transport every weekend.   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.comJune 7, 2026, 3:11 pm
