Story
Location: Powhatan, VANesta is a beautiful young mixed breed girl under a year old with a big heart and an even bigger love for affection. Her mom was a German Shepherd/Collie mix, and while we’re not sure who dad was, we do know Nesta inherited a sweet, people-loving personality. This happy girl is all about attention and absolutely LOVES hugs—she’ll happily lean in close and soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. Nesta seems to do well with other dogs, but she is not a good fit for a home with cats. Being young, Nesta is still learning and growing, making this a wonderful time to help her build confidence, manners, and lifelong bonds. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who wants to be close to her people, Nesta may be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her and experience her sweet hugs for yourself!

Story
Her name is Rosie and she is the sweetest thing ever, she knows lots of tricks from lay down to barking on command (just make sure she gets her treat after!) she’s about 6 years old now and a very quiet dog, doesn’t bark at randomly for no reason and is really great with kids! She is black with some tan and a little bit of some white around her nose area. Her previous owner left her with me when he moved back to Georgia and it’s been a struggling month, she deserves the best home for her. She’s the best dog there is!

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 23, 2025, 12:34 am

Story
Coco is. 4-5 year old female ? Non spayed - German shepherd condition Pannus - has never had puppies to my knowledge at least not while we have had her and the previous owners did not have her for breeding she was a house pet - they got her as a puppy - She has been known to chase cats so it’s unknown whether or not she likes cats. We don’t have any cats, but we do have a lot of strays in our neighborhood that an old neighbor moved out and left, and we feed them. She does pull if on a short leash however she does not pull if she’s on a retractable she’s a lot easier to manage she knows her basic commands like sit lay down paw she is housebroken and will not have an accident in the house has never been an outside ! Indoor only considered ! Free but must have references and be willing to stay in contact and share updates a few times a year nothing major - fenced in yard preferred - no apartment complexes please -
