Flat-Coated Retriever puppies and dogs in Spring Valley, New York

  Meet Kobe, a beautiful young Flat Coat Retriever with a heart as big as his smile. Weighing about 55 pounds and estimated to be around one year old, Kobe is the definition of a happy, loving companion. He was found alone in a rural Tennessee community, and despite extensive efforts, no owner ever came forward. The caring couple who found him wanted more than anything to help, but their frequent travel made it impossible to give Kobe the stability he needed. Thanks to Critter Cavalry Rescue, Kobe was placed straight into foster care instead of being left behind in a rural shelter. Kobe has a personality that lights up every room. Friendly, affectionate, and eager to please, he has the classic temperament of a Flat Coat Retriever — often described as very similar to a Golden Retriever, but with a sparkle all their own. He adores other dogs, loves meeting new people, and greets everyone with a wagging tail, a joyful grin, and his signature move of offering his paw for a handshake. Kobe’s warmth and enthusiasm make him an incredible family dog. Kobe will be neutered on December 13th and microchipped so he will always have a way home if lost again. He is searching for a family that can offer a safely fenced yard, plenty of companionship, and a lifelong commitment to keeping him secure and loved. Kobe would be an excellent fit for a home with children and active people who are excited to share life with a joyful, devoted dog. If you are ready to commit to the next 15 years with a truly special dog and can provide the safety, training time, and love Kobe deserves, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to apply.       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.comJanuary 12, 2026, 9:04 pm

Through no fault of his own, this 2-3-year-old black beauty found himself in a scary place - a high kill shelter in Jefferson Parish, in Louisiana. Being black in coloring, the color least adopted, Cheech's life was in danger. We will never know where this sweet boy spent the first years of his life, but it is apparent that he was once someone’s pet, and was even microchipped, but his owner was not to be found. We can't help but wonder… When Cheech was lost, where was his family, and why was there no one frantically searching for their beloved pal? He is the most loving guy you will ever meet, and the most wonderful thing about Cheech is his heart and spirit. Cheech charms everyone he meets and will sit for a treat, shake hands/paws, and roll over for a belly rub. He has a great temperament and has never met a stranger. He will greet you with a look that seems to say, "Hi, I’m Cheech – SO nice to meet you!" This young fellow has an energy level appropriate for a dog his age and will need an adopter who can provide him with adequate exercise, activities, and companionship. In return, Cheech will give you his unconditional love, 24/7, 365! Cheech has spent time with a trainer in the south who has really helped him become the best boy! Just watch this fine fellow show off some of his skills in his video! Cheech is a very expressive boy who truly grins from ear to ear and has a magnificent smile! He is a talker too, vocalizing with various sounds to express his emotions. It's really rather endearing. :-) Cheech who weighs around 71 lbs, is good with other dogs, would enjoy playing with older children, but has no known history with cats. He has been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, is micro-chipped, neutered, and heartworm negative. Cheech has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. If you have it in your heart to give a gorgeous guy a loving and forever home, please consider Cheech. He will be ready to travel north in mid-January to be adopted. If you would like to be part of Cheech's rescue story and are already approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt Cheech. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to become an important, forever part of their life journey by continuing the rehabilitation we have begun. If not yet approved for adoption, please visit our website to learn more and to submit an online application. Click here to visit our website. Please contact us with any questions regarding your application status. PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: Click for Adoption Application About Our Rescue Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need to complete our online application and participate in our pre-adoption review process. The process includes the completion of an online application, a reference from the applicants' vet, a phone interview, and a visit to the applicants' home. The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready. The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.

Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided. Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed. Please be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog and make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.

Meet Cosmo This adorable guy has the spunk and spirit of a typical pup. His mom was unfortunately run over and he had to have a little help being bottle fed until able to eat on his own. You would not know it by looking at him or in his glowing personality. Cosmo is always up for a romp during playtime. He is also one of the sweetest snugglers. Cosmo has grown to adoption age in the same wonderful household and his foster mom would love to give you all the details on his daily life. Cosmo is well socialized and would do great in a home with or without dogs and/or with or without children. If you are looking for a dedicated family companion, you can’t go wrong with this cutie. Once adopted, Cosmo will transport with Rescue Vet Transport to his new forever family (additional $185). If you would like to give him a life time of belly rubs please follow the link below to our adoption application. Please note, our volunteer team works very hard and they are very responsive so please submit your application only when you are ready to welcome your new furry friend. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

  When you picture puppies, you imagine round bellies, wagging tails, and carefree playtime. That’s exactly who these six beautiful Lab mix puppies are — happy, sweet, and full of life. Born at the end of October, this litter includes three boys and three girls in lovely shades of yellow and gold, along with one striking red-chocolate beauty who truly stands out. Their mama is a golden-colored Lab mix who was taken in while pregnant by a kind family that made a safe nest for her to deliver and care for her babies.   These puppies are growing quickly and are expected to be 60 pounds or more as adults, but right now they are still very young and vulnerable. As January’s extreme cold approaches, they need more warmth and comfort than an outdoor kennel and dog house can provide, even though they are currently safe. A temporary foster home would give them the chance to stay warm, grow stronger, and receive the care and socialization that every puppy needs during these early weeks. We are urgently seeking foster homes willing to take two puppies together or a trio for just three weeks. During that time, they will continue their deworming and receive their important parvo and distemper vaccinations. Critter Cavalry Rescue provides all food, supplies, and full support, and our team is hands-on and very experienced with young puppy care and health needs, so fosters are never on their own. If you can offer a warm place in your home and a little time, you can truly make a life-saving difference for these babies. Puppy names are listed on the photos, so please let us know which ones you might be able to help. If you can’t foster, sharing their story could help us reach the right person in time. For more information, please contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com or text 615-661-5333.   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.comJanuary 3, 2026, 12:49 pm

  Chunky Monkey Sunkiss is a tender-hearted puppy with a soft soul and a future full of promise. Born October 23 to a Lab mix mom and Heeler dad, Sunkiss began life surrounded by her siblings in a quiet country setting where her mom was safely cared for while raising her litter. Now, at 8 weeks old, she’s ready to take her next step — finding a family of her own. Sunkiss is a gentle snuggle girl at heart. While she enjoys playful moments with her siblings and does wonderfully with children, her favorite place is close to her people, soaking up love and reassurance. She has a calm, sweet nature that simply asks for patience, kindness, and guidance as she grows. She’s expected to be around 70 pounds when grown and will be a stunning adult with her pale yellow coat, white socks, and freckled face. Beneath her beauty is a sensitive, intelligent puppy who will thrive with positive training, routine, and trust-building — the kind of dog who bonds deeply and becomes a true family companion. Critter Cavalry Rescue is looking for adopters who understand the commitment of raising a puppy and are excited to invest in her future through walks, play, social experiences, and loving structure. Sunkiss will be ready to go home on January 17. If you feel called to help shape this sweet girl’s life forever, please email 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.comJanuary 12, 2026, 9:04 pm

  Meet Beauregard (Beau ) &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Some dogs are born with a purpose, but they never get the chance to discover it until someone believes in them. Beauregard is one of those dogs.   This Lab/Hound mix boy was found abandoned on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Middle Tennessee—hungry, covered in fleas and ticks, scarred from hardship, and too terrified to accept a gentle human touch. He had all but given up on life, surviving only on scraps of food and little more. Beau's story didn’t end there. Caring rescuers saw beyond his broken, skinny body and haunting eyes. With Critter Cavalry Rescue’s help, Beau was trapped, treated by a vet and given the first real chance of a good and loving future in his young life. Less than a year old and painfully thin,  Beau has since grown into a healthy, strong 75-pound boy with a heart that’s slowly learning how to trust and love again.   His foster mom, Cissy, describes his journey best:  “When Beau first arrived, he wouldn’t come out of his doghouse or look at me. But little by little, food, fresh water, and the happy barks of my other dogs began to chip away at his fear. The first time he took a treat from my hand, I knew he was beginning to understand love. Now Beau is part of our pack—he follows me around the farm, plays with the other dogs, and even helps encourage new rescues to run and play, just as others once taught him. He still has moments of fear with new people or the leash, but his confidence grows every single day. Watching him blossom has been nothing short of amazing.”    Beauregard’s scars—both inside and out—are healing, and his purpose is becoming clear that he is going to be a loyal, loving companion. He’s looking for a home with a kind, but confident leader who can continue guiding him on this journey of love and trust.. With patience, consistency, and love, Beau will give back tenfold—his big heart and beautiful soul are simply waiting for the right family to share them with.&#226&#156&#168 Beau is more than a survivor—he’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the healing power of love. Could you be the one to give him the forever home he’s been waiting for?  please email asking for more information or an adoption form to 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.comOctober 2, 2025, 1:51 pm
