Dutch Shepherd puppies and dogs in West Springfield, Massachusetts

Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Oh my goodness, where do we even begin with this girl? Everyone who meets Jenny June falls head over heels almost instantly. She has that undeniable charm that just pulls you in and once she’s got you, there’s no going back. She truly checks every box, and then somehow adds a few bonus ones. And those big brown puppy dog eyes? They’re the kind that stop you mid-sentence. Soft, warm, and almost teddy-bear-like, they make you feel like you’ve known her forever. Watch her video and see for yourself how sweet she is: https://youtu.be/fLCgzfpZrOI?si=A36wpqdIRDeKryk- Jenny June is believed to be a Pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 48 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Jenny is as sweet as they come, and despite being fully grown, she carries herself like a forever puppy. She has that youthful sparkle, that playful curiosity, and that irresistible puppy face that makes you want to scoop her up and tell her she’s perfect (because she kind of is). She loves deeply and wholeheartedly and once she bonds with you, you suddenly have a built-in adventure buddy, professional couch snuggler, and the newest star of your camera roll. She may be a little shy when meeting new people or stepping into new environments, but give her just a few minutes and you’ll see her blossom. Before you know it, she’s handing out kisses and leaning into you for affection. Jenny has spent time around children as young as four and showed a beautifully gentle, patient nature. While she handled the excitement of little ones well, we think she’d truly thrive in a home with slightly older kids who can match her softer spirit. When it comes to other dogs, Jenny is a social butterfly. She has participated in playgroups with dogs of all sizes and personalities and absolutely thrives in that setting. A good game of chase is one of her absolute favorites, especially when her dog friends are right there running alongside her. She shares toys kindly and even shares affection without a fuss. While she’d be happy as you're one-and-only, we would love to see her paired with another moderately playful pup who enjoys a balance of backyard zoomies and relaxed downtime. Jenny also had the opportunity to meet our house cat, Biggie, and she handled herself beautifully. She was respectful, curious but calm, and never attempted to chase. Biggie felt comfortable enough to go about his usual cat business without concern. While we can’t say for certain whether she has lived with cats before, her first impression was a great one. If you have a feline family member, we’re happy to coordinate a kitty sleepover to ensure it’s the perfect match. Energy-wise, Jenny has that wonderful “just right” balance. She enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks where she can take in all the sights and smells, and she’s just as happy curling up beside you afterward for some quality couch time. She walks nicely on a leash with minimal pulling, is treat motivated (a girl after our own hearts), and already knows how to sit. She is both crate trained and potty trained, making her an easy addition to the home. At the end of the day, Jenny is simply a gentle, loving, well-rounded girl who is ready to find the people she can call her own. We are willing to test Jenny June with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

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

Originally from Germany; Desdemona (known as Mona) is an 8-yr old Dutch Shepherd. Shes extremely sweet and smart! She does not get along with other dogs and will need to be in a 1 dog household. Even though she is 8, she is still full of energy. If you want her to be energetic, she will play for hours. If you want to chill, she is more than happy to be a couch potato. She loves to love, and she finds joy in making her person happy.
