Story
I`m in a FOSTER HOME! If you would like to set up a time to meet with me, please email my foster parent kriskill.hasse@gmail.comMeet Imogen, a senior shepherd who is looking for a comfy place to spend her golden years.  Her ideal home would be one where she has a nice big dog bed to rest, a dog or cat friend to say `what`s up?` to and maybe play with when she`s feeling up for it, and a person who will take her on meandering walks where she can sniff to her heart`s content and in car rides that don`t go to loud, busy places.  She enjoys a good lounge in the sun, whether in the spring or in the snow, and she very much enjoys neck scratches and face rubs.  She doesn`t bark unless others goad her into it, and even then, it is easy to get her to stop.  She does have arthritis, so medication is a must and stairs aren`t ideal, though carpeted stairs or a harness for her back end could keep her going strong for longer.  She`s also afraid of thunderstorms and having her nails trimmed, but there are plenty of ways to deal with those.  She is picky about her food but eats canned food well.  She is one of the easiest dogs to care for otherwise.  She will never steal your food or surf your counters, and she can be left unconfined in your house with no danger to your shoes or your furniture.  Consider giving this beautiful girl a place to be loved for the rest of her life and she`ll reward you with consistent, gentle signs of affection.If you`d like to meet me, please email my foster mom at kriskill.hasse@gmail.com. Can`t wait to meet you!

Story
Tessa is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Are you looking for a gorgeous shepherd working breed dog? Look no further than Tessa! Tessa originally lived with a family in a townhouse in Alexandria. Unfortunately, due to their limited space and inability to provide her with adequate exercise during her early years, she developed significant pent-up energy and struggled with reactivity, particularly toward other dogs. Tessa has been through a formal training program with one of our trusted trainers, and is now looking for an adopter who can take over her management tools, exercise routines, and structured training. Tessa deserves a family that she will be able to share a lifetime of happiness with. With the help of her training, she has been successful in playing with other dogs after proper, slow introductions. However, we would recommend that she be the only dog in the home. Tessa is bright, beautiful, and oh-so fun to work with. If you're interested in meeting Tessa, or learning more about her, please don't hesitate to reach out! ATTRIBUTES: Tessa would do well as the only dog in the home. Tessa does well with other dogs outside of the home. —------------- Laila’s Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any dog is housebroken nor crate trained.

Hi potential adopter! Meet Bronnie our playful lovable pup. Bronnie is just 8 months old and he's such a sweet boy. We love him so much but unfortunately can not bring him with us as we are moving states away. Bronnie is currently in the care of a pet boarding service in Washington DC. I am currently not able to go pick him up so if you would like to take him home he would need to be picked up. Bronnie is a very chill, quiet puppy until He starts playing and is very good with children as I have a 5 year old. He will be a great addition to your family and an awesome protector! So sad to have to let him go but I know it's the right thing to do. Blessings.

Story
  We are so excited to show the world this exceptionally happy and handsome German Shepherd boy that everyone loves instantly upon meeting him.  There are just some dogs draw you in make you want to hug them and reassure them and spend more time around them.  This boy is named Maverick and he is 4 to 5 years old and weighs 65 pounds with a need to probably be a good 75 pounds or more. His past is actually unknown, except that he was astray that came into a shelter in Middle, Tennessee and Critter Cavalry Rescue soon learned about his incarceration.  You can see in the pictures that his eyes look a little runny, and they are because they have some problems that are being medicated now.  Soon they will clear up and soon there will be good healthy weight put on this boy and he will be ready for a new start that he most certainly deserves in life. Maverick is great with meeting new people and new dogs.  He seems to be housebroken and is able to be crated, but prefers not to if you'll allow that.   He is the typical Shepherd energy, where he moves about checking things out and with curiosity.  He is quite obedient and smart.  He was a dream dog while the vet poked and prodded in inspected teeth and ears and drew blood.  He was at ease at the vet's office when entering the lobby and being in a place with lots of dog smells.  Maverick is a strong boy, both in physical strength and interpersonal acceptance of what events come his way.   He has show great trust in new people as he was transferred. from multiple cars and meeting different people who were helping transport him to his foster home with Critter Cavalry.  He meets strangers with a friendly smile and a seemingly awareness that they just want to help him.  He readily jumps up into a new car when asked to do so, which proves he has no hip issues or movement problems whatsoever for such a big boy.  He is handsome now, but soon very soon, he will be stunning once his coat improves with good food and grooming.  This boy enjoys being brushed and will be fun to do as you watch the loving results of your effort produce even more good looks.  Maverick is easy to love and he will readily love you back.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you want to know more or to receive an application for adoption.    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.comApril 27, 2025, 7:54 pm

Story
Sweet, loving little Bentley, a typical terrier! Loves to run and jump like a gazelle in the yard. He is a hunter, though, so be sure the yard has no visitors like chipmunks, groundhogs, rabbits, etc. before he runs free. Like all terriers, Bentley is active and quick-moving. However, he is also responsive to directions; in fact, Bentley is very sensitive and affectionate and is eager to please. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, he is terrified of men. We are working on this trust issue, but he will most likely be comfortable only in an all-female home. Bentley eats ravenously with a slow feeder dish, sleeps all night, and is completely housetrained. He rarely barks, is fine alone for a few hours, and is not destructive. What more could you ask for? Bentley is a real mix of breeds! His foster ran a DNA test on him and it came as 18% Chihuahua 16% Chow chow 11% Rottweiler 11% German Shepherd 10% Shih Tzu 6% Doberman Pinscher 5% American Cocker Spaniel All other small percentages: Lhasa Apso, Keeshond, American Eskimo, American Pit Bull Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Toy Poodle, Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Standard Poodle! If you are seeking a loving little companion, who will enjoy the outdoors with you, and then snuggle up beside you, Bentley is your guy! Just like the high-class car that shares his name, he is a high-class boy! My Profile Age: 6 years old Weight: 31 pounds Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown, but high prey drive Fenced yard: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: No House trained: Yes.
