Story
Luke is an adorable, soon to be 3 year old, male Cavapoo who weighs just over 25 pounds and is looking for a really calm, laidback household to join forever. He was raised with 3 very young and active children and the house was the neighborhood favorite to come over and play games, watch TV, or swim in the pool.  A fave hangout with of noise and fun commotion. Luke has tried so hard to live comfortably  amongst the chaos, but he just is not happy.  Active and loud little boys are just too much for him.  So now this darling, housebroken polite boy is looking for a new home to grace with his own special love and quiet affection.  He is good with other dogs but is not cat tested.   He is going to be a wonderful companion for the right person or family. If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com     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 15, 2026, 1:46 pm

Story
The only home Aubrey has ever known is gone, and suddenly everything familiar to her has been replaced by the sights and sounds of a busy shelter. She’s scared and overwhelmed, but a soft voice and a little baby talk help her feel safe enough to come out of her shell. Aubrey will take short walks, but busy sidewalks are a lot for her. She would be happiest in a quiet, calm home where she can settle in and feel safe again. She has lived with children in the past and did wonderfully with them. We can’t wait to see Aubrey back in a home where she belongs. If this dog is located at our Manhattan Adoption Center, head in to meet them and see if you are a match! We are a same-day adoption center, and an application does not put you on a list or hold an animal for you. If they are in Wantagh or in a foster home, please submit an online application and our team will reach out to further discuss the adoption process. Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given their age-appropriate vaccines.

Story
My name is Abram and I am an adorable old man. I am obsessed with anything with a squeaker and will spend hours chewing on my toys. When I'm not busy lounging around, I love all the attention I can get. I don't mind other dogs, but I would do best with one that is low energy and not always in my face. A low energy, slow paced household would be perfect for me!
