Story
Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 11, 2025, 9:36 pm

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit: Caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. JAKE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT DOG TO TRAIN FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE OR SOME TYPE OF POLICE BOMB/DRUG SNIFFING DOG. JAKE IS ALSO VERY ATHLETIC AND LOVES AGILITY TRAINING TOO. Meet Jake! Jake is about 1 year old and 36 lbs. We think Jake looks like a Shepherd/Mix (Just a Guess). Jake is a very happy boy who just wants to please. He is food motivated so his foster mom is working with him on commands. Jake loves other dogs but can be a bit pushy when he plays. Jake has met young children and they seem to make him nervous so we feel he would do best with children 11 years and up if children are in his forever home. Jake is a very smart boy and would love an adopter who will continue training with him. Jake is house and crate trained. Jake is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. The Adoption Fee is $375.00 ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

German Shepherd Dog

Story
Nova is a scaredy cat in German shepherd form. At the age of 6 months, Nova was about to be tossed out on the street when a Good Samaritan scooped her up and brought her home, hoping to help Nova understand that she was safe and loved while providing her kids with a dog to play with. But Nova’s wounds are deep and an active home with several kids is just not conducive to her recovery. We don’t know if Nova experienced trauma in her previous home(s) or simply lived a sheltered life, never having the opportunity to experience anything beyond her crate, which is her safe space. We do know that Nova seems to love other dogs. She has a dog buddy in her current home. He boosts her confidence and helps her come out of her shell just a bit. She plays with him but does not play with the humans. In fact, she is barely brave enough to eat in front of the humans. Among the people in her current home, Nova seems to trust the littlest kids the most; the older kids and adults are scary. When approached by a person—sometimes even a family member—in the home, she tends to retreat. If her crate is available, she will go there. If she has a dog buddy with her, she will feel confident enough to bark prior to retreating to her crate. When approached by an unfamiliar person outside, she attempts to hide behind “mom.” If another dog is present, she may be able to overcome her fear and play with the other dog. When our volunteer met her, Nova was able to eat some treats the volunteer tossed to her. After several minutes hanging out and walking together, she ventured a little closer to the volunteer but was not ready to be approached or touched. Nova needs a quiet home with only one or two adults who are willing to work to build her confidence. At this point, at about 1 year of age, building Nova’s confidence is likely to be difficult; her adopters will need to understand this and be prepared to love her for who she is, even if she may always be the dog who needs to be in a “safe room” when guests come over. Nova is about 1 year old, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations. She has no known health issues. She is housetrained and feels safest in her crate. She may be a German shepherd or a shepherd mix. Interested? Please get in touch via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through Adoptapet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved—especially Nova!

Story
Doc is a fun loving dog. His nickname is Grogu. He just wants to please anyone he is with. He has great leash manners and loves to play fetch. He carries his ball wherever he goes.He is on the smaller side so it makes him ideal for any home situation. He wiggles so hard he hits himself in the face. He is also one of the abandoned 11. He will crawl into your lap when you are sitting with him. He would fit into an active lifestyle or one that is more Netflix and chill. He is microchipped, neutered, and fully vaccinated. Great things do come in small packages. ##2042792##

Story
Coyote is a sweet young German Shepherd who was rescued and then abandoned along with 39 others. We took him in and now he has learned to trust again after facing a difficult past of neglect and abuse. Coyote is incredibly loyal once he feels safe. He will be your best friend for life. Coyote is anxious to learn especially when he is rewarded with rubs and kisses. He has excellent leash manners and is a pleasure to walk. He is compatible with most dogs as long as there is a proper introduction. Supervision during introduction will allow for an easy transition in a home with another dog. He isn't compatible with cats and hasn't had exposure to children. Coyote deserves the chance of a loving home to call his own, ##2043739##
