Story

Maya is an amazing dog and a huge protector! She is loved and we had her since birth 2020. Due to Covid,she grew up without playing with other animals ( my infant son grew up with Maya so she is gentle with kids. Super protective of kids and adults). She has a trauma ( due to fire outbreaks caused by gas and that explosion makes her hate alarms or school bus alarm sounds ) being nervous (pees herself when anxious , left alone or scared and barks a lot until you tell her it is okay. She is always loved so assuring her keeps her calm). Unfortunately due to financial difficulties, please I have to re-home Maya to another lovely family who is willing to love her. SHE WOULD LOVE YOU MORE, I assure you that! NB: unless trained: she doesn’t do well with other pet. Great with kids.

Meet Popsicle Popsicle is an 8-month-old, 34 lb bundle of happiness who is ready to bring fun, love, and a whole lot of tail wags into your life. This handsome young pup is friendly with people and great with other dogs—he’s the kind of guy who wants to say hello to everyone he meets. On leash, Popsicle is easy to handle and happily trots along, stopping to greet his canine friends along the way. Like any puppy, Popsicle is still learning his manners. He can get a little jumpy when he’s excited and loves to play, but he settles quickly and is eager to please. With a little guidance and consistency, he’s going to grow into an amazing companion. Popsicle is a medium-energy pup who enjoys activity but also loves affection. He’s very food-motivated, takes treats enthusiastically, and absolutely soaks up attention. When spending time with him, he happily accepted pets on his head and neck, wagging his tail the entire time with his sweet, friendly demeanor shining through. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate young dog who is ready to learn and grow with you, Popsicle might just be your perfect match.

Story

Senshi is a beautiful young solid black, 1-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix with a big personality packed into a perfectly portable, 45-pound package. This smart, energetic girl is the definition of fun- playful, affectionate, and always ready for her next adventure. With her classic German Shepherd smarts and high food drive, Senshi is eager to learn and loves having a job to do. She is already learning sit, stay, and down, is house-trained, and (tries very hard to) not jump up. She’d thrive with someone who can give her a job to do, whether that's training, hiking, or even dog sports- she’s got the drive and enthusiasm to be an amazing partner. Senshi absolutely loves toys, playtime, and anything involving treats. Whether it’s a game of fetch or exploring the outdoors, she’s happiest when she’s active and engaged. Senshi would do best as the only dog in the home, as she can be a bit possessive with toys around other dogs. She can tolerate cats, though she may be a bit too playful for them at times. Due to her energy level and enthusiasm, she’d be best suited for a home without young children. but over 10 years of age would be find. Her ideal home would be with an active single person or couple who’s looking for a loyal companion to share adventures, hikes, and everyday life with. In return, Senshi will give you endless love, loyalty, and a whole lot of fun. If you’re looking for a smart, energetic best friend who’s always up for an adventure, Senshi might just be your perfect match! If you are interested, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@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.

Story

Aspen is a loyal, energetic dog who thrives in an active home with a consistent routine. She enjoys attention and affection from her people—especially kids—and loves being part of whatever is going on. While she’s very loving, she’s not overly cuddly and tends to prefer being close by rather than curled up on top of you. She does well with other dogs, though her high energy can be a bit much for very small or elderly dogs. Her experience with cats is unknown. She would do best with an owner who can provide structure, regular exercise, and clear expectations. She loves playing fetch, going on hikes, and staying active outdoors, and settles down nicely after a day of activity. With the right balance of exercise and routine, she is a devoted, happy dog who enjoys connection without being overly clingy.
