Story

Our boy Easy Ryder is a handsome Shepherd mix that is young at just 18 months of age and 75 pounds of strength and muscle.  This intelligent boy is so much fun as he is filled with curiosity and a depth of intense observations that allows him to miss “nothing” that is going on around him.  This boy really loves the girls and so if he was going to live with another dog existing in a family, we would say girls only.  He is OK with cats but a little too curious for us to be totally comfortable that he would not chase.  He has been trained with lots of the things you want a dog to know about; crate trained, good on a leash and he loves long walks or a jogging companion.  This boy would be a great sidekick to ride around in your truck or SUV as you make your rounds and errands in life.  Easy Ryder needs a strong leader and a fenced yard would be truly a needed bonus to have an easy time with his exercise time and bathroom breaks.  If you are interested, please email us at ccrtennessee@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.June 6, 2023, 2:31 pm

Story

  Freda is a very loving and calm German Shepherd girl that, despite the humans that have let her down so many times, she still wants to be by your side and loving you.  This girl is a purebred Shepherd and she is such a special, gentle soul.  She came from a KY high kill shelter and was adopted out from the shelter in 2022 to a man that intended to breed her, and the reason why we run to the shelters sometimes to get these purebred dogs out of harm’s way.  But thankfully Freda was not a dog that came in to heat and very soon the man grew tired of waiting and decided to take her BACK to the shelter and turn her in.  She wasn’t producing for him.  We are so happy about this!  Truly she was destined to be in the hands of a good rescue that would   Place her with the most caring and GSD savvy family.   This girl is 7 years old and 70 pounds.  She has not led a cushy life and CCR had to do a lot of extra vetting to get her to a healthy place.   She had benign mammary tumors removed and no sign of cancer, spayed, heartworm negative, and dewormed.  She is ready for that comfortable dog bed by the fireplace, sleeping at the foot of someone’s bed, roaming a spacious backyard that offers her grass, bunny rabbits to chase and maybe other dogs to play with.  She is a jewel with a spirit of grace and forgiveness for all the poor care from the humans that went before us at Critter Cavalry Rescue.  Funny how the dogs can forgive so easily and humans cannot.  We are seeking a Cinderella Story for Freda.  Do you have the magical Prince Charming carriage to carry her off into the sunset to a new home?  If so please contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   She is ready and has her slippers fitting just perfectly!            ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you are looking for a wonderful mature German Shepherd who is loving and gentle and easy to have around, then Addie is your girl!  This sweetheart is loving and somewhat energetic for an 8 year old German Shepherd. She believes that her mission in life is to fetch and bring it back for you to throw it again.  She will fetch for hours if you’re up for it and your arm or chucker throw will hold out! She is so smart and her funny talent is watching TV and barking at the animals on the screen. She is quick to love anyone who gives her attention or plays with her. Addie is also content to lounge around the house during the day and is a great door sensory alarm. She was an owner surrender because the growing family didn’t have the time to care or spend with her.  A toddler of 2 years was taking all their time and attention and Addie was just kicked aside. She is looking for a single dog household with no young children. She wants to be the only child receiving your undivided love and attention. She is fine with other dogs but doesn’t care to live with them inside her home….if you ask her that’s what she would say!  Someone with German Shepherd experience would be perfect.   She has years to go and tons of love to give.   Please consider Addie….she is the perfect German Shepherd girl.  And she will need some pain meds now and again and Glucosamine with Chondroitin every day for joints.  She is a large breed and the joints breakdown sooner due to the weight of large breeds.   Please contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in this beauty.   One footnote…she is not a fan of car rides.   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.June 6, 2023, 2:31 pm

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

  We would love to introduce our precious black German Shepherd girl called Midnight Gem.  This 9 year old beauty is petite and the nicest girl on a leash and a low key personality.   This 9 year old is 55 pounds and has a beautiful conformation and posing style. She loves other dogs and has only not gotten along with one grumpy 9 year old Chihuahua at the foster home.  He pushed the envelope and started it….ha ha ha !     She is wonderful with young children and even has won over a 5 year old visiting child who doesn’t really like dogs but he loved Midnight Gem.   She is great on a leash and she is housebroken and doesn’t seem to need a crate.  At this stage of her life she just needs someone to be consistent in her life and give her a home till she crosses that Rainbow Bridge which won’t be anytime soon because she is healthy and a good weight and acts and looks younger than she is.  She is not a nervous Shepherd like most can be.  She is calm, very sweet and just wants your love and attention.  She is healthy and fully vetted recently and has been given a clear bill of health.  Now she just needs the home and promise of forever love that she deserves from someone or even a whole family.   Regular walks would be fine and we don’t think she has to have a fenced yard but we don’t much about her recall.  She is smart, gorgeous and very loving and easy going.   What more could you ask for in a senior dog?  If you are interested in Midnight Gem please contact us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Sidney Poitier

German Shepherd Dog

Male, young

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

UPDATE: Sidney has flourished in the short time he has been with our rescue. He is more secure and has lost his barrier reaction. He is smart, friendly, alert, attentive and anxious to learn and to please his human. He loves to play but is ready to settle down and snuggle. Sidney will need an experienced dog person who can help him continue to learn and build on his confidence. And to perhaps train him to be a service dog. If you are interested in Sidney Poitier, please email us at cox_ann@bellsouth.net Look at this handsome boy. Sidney Poitier is about 1.5-2 years old, he is currently 53 lbs, but as you can see, he needs to put on some weight. We rescued Sidney from a high kill shelter in West TN. He is a very smart, attentive and alert boy. He does have some barrier aggression/guarding but he is NOT aggressive. Sidney Poitier needs a very experienced dog person, someone who will give Sidney lots of love and guidance. Sidney will do best in a home with no children, cats or other dogs. He does appear to have a high prey drive; at least a high interest drive. Sidney has a lot of energy and would love to go on runs, long walks and hikes. Then he wants to snuggle on the couch and just chill out. If you are interested in meeting Sidney and finding out more about this fabulous boy, email us at cox_ann@bellsouth.net

Ralph KF

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, adult

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Ralph is a smaller shepherd mix who is around a year old. He weighs about 40 pounds at the moment. But is still very thin. He was found on the side of the road and was thought to be dead. As I approached he attempted to live but was unable too as he had been hit by a car. He couldn't walk so I quickly wrapped him in my jacket and rushed him to the nearest vet. They informed me he had broken his pelvis in three places. The poor guy was skin and bones and scared of absolutely everything (most likely feral). He was put on crate rest and continued to be nervous and scared around any person or dog that came close. Slowly he has opened up and began trusting us. Although he still gets nervous at times he is extremely food motivated and that is the easiest way to win him over. He loves head and neck scratches as well. A complete sweetheart once he trusts you. He would thrive in a quiet home with a more confident dog or no dog at all. He has food aggression with any food that touches the ground and this should be closely monitored if in a multiple dog household. He can be friendly with other dogs but it takes a day or two for him to warm up to them. He is kennel trained and potty trained. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Local adoption only
