Male, 10 months old, 35 lbs North is new to the rescue. We will add more information as we get to know the dog better. If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

Learn more, see our list of dogs needing foster, and apply, https://www.citydogsrescuedc.org/foster-a-city-dog.html City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC. We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, Lepto and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained.

Story
This boy is called Kowboy Kirby and he is a one-year-old 65 lb black and tan German Shepherd who doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body about anything or anyone. He is clueless as to why he should be, so he isn't. Kowboy Kirby is just kind of a goofball that is intelligent and needs to continue to have someone surround him with good guidance and boundaries and the ability to polish him into a fabulous dog. Training is necessary for any German Shepherd and especially for this young boy who hasn't been trained starting early in puppyhood. Only in the past 2 months has he had guidance and a schedule with consistency. He used to not tolerate a wire crate but now he's fine in a plastic crate and he tolerates that. It will be necessary for him not to be left loose in the house when people are gone. He'll get into too much mischief as most dogs will do. Kirby is really a special boy to be as nice and sweet as he is considering the fact that he was found in the middle of a highway during a rainstorm back in July. It was determined that he actually had been given away by someone at a Walmart. These animals should never be handed around like this, but it seems like it's happening more and more. Kirby is housebroken and he walks really nicely on a leash if you're consistent doing it everyday. This is a diamond in the rough kind of guy and we are hoping that you will see the diamond and take him home. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com And mention where you live, city and state. We transport outside Tennessee to the Northeast as well as doing adoptions locally where we are located in Nashville. 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.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
My name is Harley Girl and I once upon a time had an idyllic life as you can see in these pictures.   I am a 6 year old girl that weighs 88 pounds and will die for her family if needing to protect them.  I adore people, other dogs and I love to have a good time.  I must find a new home soon because my daddy died and now my human mom cannot afford the land, the house and to care for all three of us beautiful German Shepherd girls.  She raised us all from puppies.  She is so sad but overwhelmed with all the new responsibilities she has to take on by herself now. She is also working two jobs just to pay the bills in our food. She has to sell the house in the land very soon and move. I do not have to go to a home with my other sisters, but I do need a home soon.  Life is tough, but we are tougher and are well trained girls and will make great family pets.  Yes, we are not puppies but we are housebroken, crate trained and NO TROUBLE ever.  I love care rides, running in a fenced yard to have fun and I will obey all your commands.  But most importantly she will give you her heart if you give her a chance.  Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you would like to adopt me.  I promise you will always be proud and happy you did   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 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
Our beautiful girl is called Queen Phaedra and she is a 9 year old, 85 pound, pure German Shepherd that is tragically losing her home due to the sudden passing of her dad.  This has left her mom in a sad situation where she cannot possibly maintain the home and land and household bills.  There are 3 purebred GSD girls altogether and Phaedra is the leader of the pack in age and personality.  She loves to play ball and runs in her fenced yard for hours just enjoying the great outdoors.  Phaedra is a beautiful girl inside and out and she listens well and knows so many manners and commands.  She is housebroken and good in the house when her mom is gone.  She is the perfect senior girl with lots of time left in her life to bring so much to a family or person.  We want this girl to be taken care of in her golden years.  Can you help give her human mom some peace of mind to know that Phaedra won’t have to go to a shelter?  These are hard times and Critter Cavalry is going to search high and low to help this sweet human mom to place her three girls in committed homes.  Adoption fee will be very low.  They are in East Tennessee and we can transport northward to the northeastern states as well as adopt to Tennessee!  Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com 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.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm
