Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Bonnie would thrive in a home with other pets, especially other dogs and cats, as she truly loves their company and finds comfort in having furry friends around. She has also done very well with young children and isn’t bothered by quick movements, making her a wonderful fit for a busy, loving household. Bonnie is great about going outside to potty and will also reliably use pee pads overnight. She is still learning how to walk confidently on a leash, so she would benefit from a patient adopter who can dedicate a little time to helping her build those skills. While Bonnie can be shy at first, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate once she feels safe. She’s a total cuddler and will happily curl up with you if invited. As she settles in, her confidence grows quickly — and once she understands that she’s truly home, she becomes very secure and comfortable. With a little time, consistency, and care, her adopters can expect the same beautiful transformation we’ve seen in her foster home. Bonnie is the kind of dog who forms deep bonds and rewards patience with endless love. If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will flourish in a calm, caring environment, Bonnie may be your perfect match.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bailey Bailey is a sweet German Shepherd mix with a gentle, loving nature and a warm, social personality. She truly enjoys being around people and does wonderfully with other dogs. Bailey is a bit timid in new situations and would thrive in a calm, adult-only home or a home with teenagers where she can relax and settle in at her own pace. She’s at a great age to really benefit from positive socialization and being thoughtfully exposed to new environments, which will help her continue building confidence. She would do best with confident, patient owners who understand that shy dogs blossom with consistency, reassurance, and time. In the right home, Bailey’s personality shines brighter every day. Bailey is both crate trained and potty trained, making her an easy addition to the right household. She’s ready to offer loyalty, love, and plenty of tail wags to a family committed to helping her feel safe and secure. If you’re looking for a sweet companion you can grow alongside, Bailey may be the perfect match. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Medical Notes: Spayed Weight 35lbs on 10/18/25 Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Maintained on monthly preventions Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2026, 10:24 pm

Story

“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.” This reminds us of Russ, who savors each day to the fullest and is such a free spirit! Why we love him: Russ is a bouncy, happy-go-lucky dog who is always so glad to be in your company! He is two years old and weighs 64 pounds. Russ has one of those wonderfully expressive doggy faces that looks like he is smiling, and his merry brown eyes reflect his joy for life. He reminds us of a big puppy! Russ is a very enthusiastic companion on walks and is more than glad to help you get your daily exercise. He would be a fine hiking or running buddy, too. Outings in the fenced yard are a great outlet for his abundant energy, and he bounds about in total joy! He especially enjoys playing with the toys. Russ loves games of fetch, too. Russ is a bright dog who should master any commands you want to teach him. Russ has had some great outings with one of our dedicated volunteers. He enjoyed riding in the car, spending time exploring the yard, observing the chickens and meeting the family cat and dogs. He would do best in a family who will give him structure, consistency and routine. Smart, fun and loyal - Russ is going to be such a great companion! Lucky Russ is currently in a foster home, and his foster Mom says: "He’s very true to what I’ve read about Coonhounds. Russ loves toys and sticks and has a very playful side. He really enjoys being outside sniffing and searching for adventures. Russ is not very vocal, just when the other dogs get barking, he will add to it. He needs someone that will assist with getting his energy out and directed in a good place. He does also love his sleep! He enjoys long naps on his raised dog beds. But when he’s awake, he’s ready to go. He would be best in a home with older children." E-mail ccacangels@yahoo.com for more information! Please come visit! We are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

SARA

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.
