Story
  Meet Espresso! ☕ Born on May 22 as one of 12 adorable puppies to a beautiful Redbone Coonhound mix mom, Espresso is a playful, adventurous girl with a personality all her own. Her mom is a 50 pound girl and we feel that daughter Espresso will be as well. At 12 weeks she is barely  12 pounds.   >  Espresso is affectionate—but on her own terms! She's an independent puppy who enjoys exploring, investigating new places, and figuring things out for herself. While she's confident doing her own thing, she also loves spending time with her sister, Caramel.   >  True to her name, Espresso is always ready to go! Playtime is her favorite time, and she has plenty of energy to burn. She's a bit of a tomboy who enjoys rough-and-tumble puppy play, so any interactions with other pets should be supervised while she continues learning appropriate doggie social skills. Espresso would thrive in a home with a larger, calm, well-socialized dog who can help teach her good play manners and when it's time to take a break.   >  When it comes to training, food is definitely the way to Espresso's heart! She's highly treat-motivated and eager to learn when snacks are involved. She's already doing well with potty training and understands what 'potty' means when she's outside. She's still learning that her crate is a safe, cozy place and will benefit from continued positive crate training.   >  Like any growing puppy, Espresso is currently teething and thinks almost everything looks like a chew toy. A puppy-proofed home and plenty of appropriate chew toys will help keep her happy—and your belongings safe!  One thing Espresso has already mastered is riding in the car. She settles in quickly and makes an excellent travel companion for errands or adventures.   > Overall, Espresso is a sweet, spirited puppy with a fun-loving personality and an independent streak. With clear boundaries, consistency, patience, and positive training, she's sure to blossom into a wonderful lifelong companion. If you're looking for an adventurous best friend who will keep you smiling and make every day a little more exciting, Espresso may be the perfect addition to your family.    Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in her.  Please let us know the4 city and state that you live when inquiring.  We transport from Nashville, TN where we are based and can reach all the northeastern states outside of Tennessee starting with North Carolina.   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.comAugust 24, 2026, 7:00 pm

Story
  Meet Zora a beautiful full-blooded Blue Heeler, approximately 1 year old and 45 pounds. She is a sweet, devoted girl who is looking for a very special person or family to give her the loving forever home she deserves. Zora is housebroken, good with other dogs, good with children, and accustomed to walking on a leash. Most of all, Zora loves being with her person. Whether you are inside relaxing or outside enjoying the day, you can count on Zora being right by your side—she will happily be your faithful shadow.  She especially loves going for walks and seeing all the places that a walk can take her to.  She would be an exceptional dog for horseback riding excursions, hikes and adventures on trails that are easy or difficult. She has the stamina.  Zora’s story is a heartbreaking one. Her owner was a wonderful lady who absolutely adored her, and Zora adored her just as much. Sadly, her owner passed away suddenly and unexpectedly and Zora lost her best friend. She lost not only her home, but the person who raised her from a puppy was her whole world.  Zora came from an exceptional bloodline/ breeder as a puppy. We are now hoping to find someone who can give Zora the love, companionship, and security she once knew. She would thrive with someone who has plenty of time to spend with her and wants a dog to truly be part of their everyday life. Zora would love daily walks, a safe place to run and play, boating, traveling, and new adventures. She was accustomed to traveling with her owner and, most importantly, being with her every day. Zora has already experienced a tremendous loss at such a young age. What she needs now is someone who will open their heart and make her part of the family again. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, adventure partner, and best friend who will stay faithfully by your side, Zora may be the girl you’ve been waiting for. ❤️ Please help us find this special girl the loving forever home she deserves.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue directly ASAP at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live; city and state.  We have her fostered in Nashville, TN area but can transport every weekend to the northeast on a licensed transport van.     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.comAugust 24, 2026, 7:00 pm

Story
*Meet Sassy* 🐾 Don't let the name fool you — okay, actually, DO let the name fool you, because Sassy earns every letter of it. This three-month-old spitfire is a Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix with the heart of a lap dog and the confidence of a dog three times her size. Sassy is whip-smart (she's already figuring out the humans around her faster than they're figuring her out) and endlessly affectionate — she'll happily curl up in your lap one minute and zoom around the room the next like she's got somewhere very important to be. Spoiler: she doesn't. She just has a lot of opinions and a lot of energy. She's looking for a family who appreciates a dog with personality — someone who'll match her enthusiasm on walks, laugh at her antics, and give her plenty of love (which she will return tenfold). A little structure and consistent training will go a long way with this clever girl, but underneath the sass is a total sweetheart who just wants to be your shadow. *Sassy is ready to bring a little chaos and a lot of love into her forever home.* Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $750 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Jiggy, a sweet boy who was at risk in a municipal shelter in Alabama before we stepped in to give him a second chance. Now, Jiggy is ready to put his shelter days behind him and focus on the important things in life; finding his people, getting plenty of love, and finally having a place to call home. There’s so much potential in every dog who comes through our doors, and Jiggy is no exception. He deserves someone who will give him the patience, consistency, and love every dog deserves while he settles into his new home. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Jiggy, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?
