Story
Meet Raymond and we all know that EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND!â¤ï¸ Some dogs leave an impression because of how they look. Raymond will steal your heart because of who he is. This 3 month old puppster was born around the middle of May and we can only guess what breed is the dominant lead in his DNA. Due to his energy and his handsome good looks and build, we think Australian Shepherd is the dominant breed. Brought in to a small town rural Tennessee shelter recently with his brother, the shelter director contacted Critter Cavalry Rescue and asked if we could help take these two pups. He has already experienced more change than most puppies should and his foster mom says she will hang in there with teaching him all the things he needs to be a good dog before he goes to a perfect family that matches his intelligence and energy. Raymond is full of inquisitive mischief and shenanigans. Never a dull moment around this boy who is very active and ready to party most of the day. He does nap, and he does cuddle after a good hour of playing. The moment you meet Raymond, it's impossible not to notice his incredible reddish coat with white accents. Very handsome and striking markings. He's the kind of dog people stop to admire. But once you spend a few minutes with him, it's his fun nature and ready to go play heart, happy spirit, and eagerness to connect with people that become even more unforgettable. Since coming into foster care, he has embraced every new experience with enthusiasm. He's been neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, and microchipped, and he's soaking up the joy of simply getting to be a young dog. He absolutely loves romping through the yard with his brother and foster dog friends, chasing, wrestling, and playing until everyone is worn out. Then, just as happily, he'll curl up beside you on the couch, content to rest his head against you and enjoy the quiet moments. Raymond is everything people love about Australian Shepherds. He's incredibly intelligent, eager to please, curious about the world, and always ready for the next adventure. He'll thrive with a fenced yard and someone who enjoys training, exploring, hiking, or simply making their dog part of everyday life. He isn't looking to spend his days watching the world from a backyard only —he wants to experience life with his family and be included in it. The right home for Raymond won't just see a beautiful dog; they'll see the amazing companion he's becoming. They'll understand that with guidance, consistency, and love, this young boy is going to grow into an extraordinary partner for years to come. Raymond has waited long enough for the life he deserves. Now he's waiting for the people who will choose him—not just because he's beautiful, but because they're ready to give him the forever home he's been missing. If your heart says this handsome boy belongs with you, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrennessee@gmail.com. We have a feeling his best chapter is just beginning, and we can't wait to see who gets to write it with him.
