Story

This girl came in as a stray but has been a dream here at the shelter. She is a bit of a rough neck but very happy and loving. She LOVES a good toy. She takes treats nicely but may jump up on you if you don`t catch her gearing up. She does get right down when told but we don`t want to adopt her to a home with small kids due to her rough housing nature. Unsure how she will be with other dogs but hasn`t been reactive in the kennels. We will try a proper intro if you have a dog in the home already. Unfortunately, she is very reactive to cats in our community room, so no cats for this girl.

Una NJ

German Shepherd Dog

Rockaway, NJ

Size

Good with kids,

Story

Una is a truly stunning, showline purebred German Shepherd with both beauty and heart. She is 2 years old and absolutely adores people — including kids — and has a wonderfully sweet, affectionate nature. Una is a special girl who clearly loves human connection and wants nothing more than to be someone’s loyal companion. Sadly, Una has been living outside, and her family wants a better life for her — one where she can be loved, included, and truly part of a home. Because of this, she may not be fully house trained yet, though she keeps her area very clean and shows great promise with routine and guidance. Una does well with other dogs, but she does appear to have some prey drive, so a home with dogs her size or larger would be best, if any. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines, and she is more than ready to start the next chapter of her life. Una is such a sweetheart, and we know there is someone out there who will give her the home she truly deserves. December 16, 2025, 2:40 pm

Story

Sometimes it’s hard to understand how the world can fail animals the way it does. How does a stunning pair of 7-month-old, purebred German Shepherd sisters end up wandering as strays in a quiet rural Tennessee town? Yet that’s exactly how Luna’s story began. Luna is the more shy and observant of the two sisters, but her joyful spirit shines through immediately. At 46 pounds, she already carries herself with a calm, sweetnes that tells you what a great companion she will make a family. She walks beautifully on a leash, is crate trained, and rides like a pro in the car. Despite everything she’s been through, Bella remains happy, affectionate, and easy to connect with. She lives peacefully alongside cats and dogs of all sizes and blends into new environments with impressive ease. Luna is not hyper or unruly — she is thoughtful, observant, and ready to learn. With continued confidence-building and positive reinforcement, she will grow into an incredible adult German Shepherd, likely reaching 70–75 pounds. Luna and her sister Bella were never claimed, and after waiting weeks with no one coming for them, they were released into the care of Critter Cavalry Rescue. We made them a promise — to find them experienced, loving, German Shepherd-savvy homes where they can thrive. A fenced yard is required, as well as adopters committed to gentle guidance, training, and building trust. Luna is a wonderful fresh young life ready to be molded into a loyal, well-mannered companion. She and Bella are ready to be home for Christmas — warm beds, loving people, and a future they deserve. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting our special. Luna 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.comDecember 14, 2025, 1:48 pm

Story

Bella is a 7-month-old purebred German Shepherd with a bright future ahead of her — and we can’t wait to see where life takes her next. Found wandering as a stray in rural Tennessee alongside her sister Luna, Bella somehow landed on the right side of luck when she came into the care of Critter Cavalry Rescue. Of the two sisters, Bella is the more outgoing and confident. She currently weighs 47 pounds and is already showing what a well-balanced young shepherd she is. She walks nicely on a leash, is crate trained, and rides calmly in the car — all impressive qualities for a puppy her age. Bella gets along beautifully with other dogs, large and small, and is respectful around cats. She isn’t wild, pushy, or chaotic; instead, she’s thoughtful, steady, and eager to please. With positive reinforcement, structure, and continued confidence-building, she will blossom into a stunning adult shepherd, estimated to mature around 70–75 pounds. After weeks of waiting with no owner stepping forward, Bella and Luna were officially released to CCR, and we are committed to finding them excellent, German Shepherd-savvy homes. A securely fenced yard is required, along with adopters who understand the breed and are excited to continue her training and development.Bella is sweet, adaptable, and ready to learn what it means to truly belong. She and her sister Luna are ready to be home for Christmas, and we would love nothing more than to make that wish come true. If you’re interested in adopting Bella, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.
