Story
Hello there, I`m Lottie! Despite my senior status, I`m full of energy and love to play. I`m a smart girl, often surprising folks with my quick learning. I can be quite the comedian too, always ready to make you smile. I`m a loyal friend, ready to stick by your side, but I also value my independence. I`m great with larger younger dogs, but smaller ones not so much. At home, I`m the epitome of mellow, always ready to snuggle up for a quiet evening. I`m looking for a forever home where I can share my sweetness, friendliness, and gentle nature. Adopt me, and let`s make some wonderful memories together!*Lottie does have a lot of prey drive which leads her to not being so great with little pets. She is good with larger, appropriate, dogs. She does leg bite when she is playing outside- easily redirected, but something for the new owner to be aware of. Lottie is a VERY sweet senior gal who you`d never know was a senior!

Auntie Em

German Shepherd Dog American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 4 yrs 10 mos
Williamsburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Auntie Em is a beautiful, German Shepherd Dog/Pitbull mix (50/50 according to the DNA test). Her dark Brindle coat and copper eyes are simply stunning - this girl turns heads! She is about 3.5 years old and weighs 64 pounds. She is very smart, obedient, powerful, and full of energy. If you are interested, please research both breeds. High energy, working dogs require a lot of exercise and stimuli. Auntie Em is very particular with other animals. She has interacted with various sized dogs. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's not. She does not like when other dogs get in her face or show any excitement or 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 how to redirect her. Her prey drive is there for little furry things too, therefore no kitties. Em would do best as the only pet. She has loved all the people she has met so far with proper introduction. She is CRAZY food motivated. Em will eat anything, but chicken seems to make her itchy. Poultry free diet for this girl! She is gentle when taking treats, but is a bit protective of her bowl and yummy treats. Because of this and her occasional bursts of energy (zoomies), no children under 12 in the household for this gal. Em will definitely benefit from some obedience training to polish her manners. She does know some basic commands. She will go in a crate, but she does not love it. Em can be trusted in the house alone as long as she has her toys. She LOVES her toys. She also loves to hang out on the couch and on the bed if you will let her. Em will go in the car just fine - she is a little anxious at first, but settles down. She is micro-chipped, UTD on vaccines and spayed. She does get seasonal allergies too, but it is easily controlled with medication as needed. 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
&#226&#156&#168 Meet Koda – The Cutest Shepherd Sidekick You’ve Been Waiting For! &#226&#156&#168 Ready to add a little fluff, a lot of fun, and a forever best friend to your life? Say hello to Koda, an absolutely adorable German Shepherd puppy who’s got personality for days and ears that deserve their own fan club! Born in February to purebred GSD parents, this little lady is everything we love about shepherd girls—smart, confident, curious, and loyal to the core. She’s already showing signs of being someone’s lifelong shadow (in the cutest way possible) and picks up on training like a total pro. Got treats? She’s got tricks. Koda is snuggly, playful, and just the right amount of sassy. She loves kids, does great in the house, is learning the potty routine like a champ, and knows her way around a crate. Cats? She’s curious, but might be a bit too excited to be their playmate just yet! And let’s talk about those spectacular ears—they’re basically little radar dishes picking up every bit of love around her. Koda will be ready for her forever home in mid-May, and she's currently hanging out in Nashville, TN. Don’t worry—she can be transported to the Northeast for the right family! Interested in adopting Koda? Email us at Critter Cavalry Rescue  ccrnewengland@gmail.com Don’t wait—this sweet girl is going to make someone very happy. 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.May 10, 2025, 9:37 pm
