Story
Auntie Em is a beautiful, young German Shepherd Dog/Pitbull mix (50/50 according to the DNA test). Her dark Brindle coat and copper eyes are simply stunning. She is about 2 years old and weighs 64 pounds. She had puppies when she arrived here and was a great mama, but now the puppies are all adopted and she is looking for a wonderful home. She is very smart, obedient, powerful, and full of energy. Please research both breeds. High energy, working dogs require a lot. Check out the Wizard of Oz album on Facebook to see more pics. Auntie Em is particular. She is very prey driven. If it's alive, furry or feathery, and moves she will chase it. She has interacted with various sized dogs. Sometimes its playful, sometimes its not. She does not like when other dogs get in her face or show any dominance. There is not a lot of warning when she's upset. A new owner will have to work with her and learn her cues and redirect. No kitties. She has loved all people she has met so far with proper introduction. She is CRAZY food motivated. She is gentle when taking treats, but is bit protective of her bowl and yummy treats. Because of this, no children under 12 in the household for this gal. Em will definitely benefit from some obedience training to polish her manners. She is doing excellent with housebreaking and knows sit and come. She will go in a crate, but she does not love it. She is micro-chipped, UTD on vaccines and spayed. Em is going to make a wonderful pet for the right owner. Is it you? If you are interested, please fill out an application on www.homesfurhounds.org.

Story
Kaia is a magnificent 7-year-old German Shepherd who's a unique mix of brains, playful antics, and an adorable dash of oddness. This girl is as smart as a whip! She knows some of her basic commands, seems to learn tricks quickly, and is eager to impress, especially if treats are involved.Kaia's got a hidden talent (or a mischievous hobby, depending on how you look at it). She's a master thief when it comes to blankets and towels, transforming them into her personal tug-of-war toys. It's a hilarious sight to behold!This sweet girl absolutely enjoys kids and has a sweet, playful spirit around them. However, there's one thing that sends shivers down her brave German Shepherd spine - rats! Yes, this fearless dog has a surprising phobia of those tiny creatures.If you're looking for a loyal companion with a playful streak, a knack for learning, and a personality full of endearing quirks, Kaia just might be your perfect match. Come meet this amazing dog and see if she steals your heart (and maybe a few blankets too)!

Story
My name is Bella Mia and as you can see, I am a beautiful golden girl that smiles and welcomes everyone I meet with an open heart of friendship.  I am a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix that is obviously going to be large and just bigger to love.  They say I was born around February 11, 2023 and for sure I am still very much a puppy even though I weigh 76 pounds.  They whisper behind my back and say that “she is a very smart girl” and that makes me want to be even smarter.  I try to keep my sweet personality showing out there 24/7 even though I am competing for attention from my other large and in charge siblings.  I am learning things but my foster family is busy and they are just maintaining good care for me and my large siblings.  I have energy to burn and I need a fenced yard to run in and someone that will focus on teaching me.  I need a loving and training oriented family who loves to bring a dog from A to Z status.  I survived a very tough start in life and am one of 12 siblings.  Only six of us survived.  I like fun, lots of activity and the hustle and bustle of family.  I need a fenced yard that is 6 ft. tall and it would be best to have me with children who are over 8 years of age because of my large exuberant size.  I am a well-rounded girl that will make your home much more Fun and loving.  If you are interested in making me a part of your life, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.April 19, 2024, 8:26 am
