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.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comApril 24, 2026, 7:25 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Kenai, a Four year old looking for a new home! He’s suited for someone who wants a shadow and energetic dog.   Kenai love attention and a lot of toys, especially wobblers, no matter where he goes. Kenai does need a little time warming up to people completely but once the bond is formed you will have a best friend for life. Kenai is house broken and knows sit, he does like to jump from excitement but can be trained as he is very food motivated.   The best kind of home for Kenai is one that would take him on a lot of walks for enrichment and decent space to play. He gets along with other dogs, but does play rough from time to time so a confident dog would be better. Kenai also has a high prey drive, so cats and other small animals are not recommended for him to live with. Kenai is a big dog with a bigger heart, even with his crooked toe that has been seen by a vet and does not bother him at all. He is a lovable dog with tons of love to give.    If you interested in Kenai please contact his foster parent - katelynpowerlunn@gmail.com  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2026, 6:24 pm

Story
Are you looking for a dog that’s looking for fun? Zipper is a black shepherd mix that is outgoing and energetic and will be best suited to a home with the ability to give lots of exercise and attention. She is dog friendly and not cat aggressive but with her energy level other dogs will need to be up for the action and cats will need to be used to dogs and have the ability to access a dog free zone. Zipper is very athletic and would love a home where she can do activities such as agility or dock diving in addition to regular exercise. A smart and trainable dog she will bond quickly and always be motivated to give you her best. Zipper is vetted, heartworm negative and received a Proheart6 shot this spring.
