Story

JACK- 1 Year & 7 Months Jack was recently surrendered by owner due to not getting along with his litter mates and his parents. The owner states he does well with other dogs that are not related to him, although he has shown resource guarding tendencies so food and toys should be kept separate. He likes playing with tennis balls and being a goof ball himself. He has never been around children and would not do well with cats. He enjoys lounging on the couch watching tv with his person, but he can also be energetic and playful like the pup he is.

Story

Meet MelodyAge: 3 yearsBreed: Shepherd MixMelody is a gentle soul searching for the forever home she’s always deserved. She came to the shelter underweight, matted, and clearly not well cared for. Thanks to the kindness of Barbie at Bubbles and Bark, Melody received the care she so desperately needed—her dirty, matted coat was removed, leaving her fresh, clean, and feeling much better.We believe Melody likely lived as an outdoor dog with little to no prior home training. Despite her past, she has shown incredible resilience and is now thriving in a loving foster home. Her foster is patiently working with her on housebreaking and kennel manners, and Melody continues to make progress with consistency and compassion.Melody is a quiet, sensitive girl who will do best with an adopter who is patient, gentle, and understanding, someone willing to meet her where she is and help her learn what it means to be a cherished family member. She hasn’t had the easiest start in life, but with the right person, she has the potential to blossom into a devoted and loving companion.She has met a few dogs and seems to prefer very mellow, low-key canine companions who respect her space. We do not recommend a home with active dogs or small children, as she thrives in calm, predictable environments.If you’re looking to truly change a life and give a deserving dog the love and stability she’s been missing, Melody may be your perfect match. She’s ready to be treated like the queen she is.?? To meet Melody, please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV to connect with her foster home.

Story

Meet Benjamin (Benny)Age: 10 monthsBreed: Shepherd MixStatus: Available-Foster CareBenjamin—better known as Benny—is a sweet, goofy, high-energy puppy who is ready to find an active forever home. His foster family describes him as the sweetest boy with a big personality and an even bigger love for his people.Benny loves to play and would thrive in a home with another playful, dog-friendly dog. He has shown great social skills by being respectful of boundaries, even with a current canine housemate who isn’t very interested in making friends. Benny is very passive by nature and takes cues well from other dogs.He is currently working on housebreaking and is partially trained. His foster is helping him learn cues to let his people know when he needs to go outside, and he continues to make progress. Benny is great for baths, isn’t a big barker, and loves interactive games like tug-of-war.This puppy is an enthusiastic chewer and an official toy destroyer, so he’ll need durable, tough toys to keep him happy. He adores balls (even if they still confuse and amaze him), enjoys digging—something his foster family is actively working on—and brings plenty of laughs with his goofy antics.Benny is affectionate and a little jealous, preferring to soak up as much attention as possible. He loves being by his person’s side and thrives on connection. Like many puppies, he isn’t fully aware of his size yet and may jump up when excited, so continued training and consistency will be important.He has been around a cat who wanted nothing to do with him. Benny was very curious but not aggressive, and would need continued guidance and supervision in a home with cats.With his high energy level, Benny will do best in a very active home committed to training, structure, and plenty of physical and mental enrichment. In return, he’ll give endless loyalty, laughter, and love.If you’re looking for an energetic, affectionate companion and are ready for the fun and work of a growing puppy, Benny may be your perfect match.

Berger Blanc Suisse (White Swiss Shepherd). He is a very sweet and smart dog. The only issue is he is too protective over me and becomes stressed (barking, hair raised, growling) towards males. Very good with children, women, and other dogs.

Story

Meet Sara — Your New Best Friend in a Perfectly Trained, 45-Pound Package of Love At just 20 months old, Miss Sara is already proving to be the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog everyone hopes for—smart, affectionate, eager to please, and now… beautifully trained. Originally adopted as a puppy, Sara was very loved—but when her owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for her, everything changed. She returned to us with a heart full of love, but without the manners every young pup needs. We knew this girl had potential, so off she went to a professional 3-week training program… and wow, is she showing off. &#226&#156&#133 Training? She’s nailing it. &#226&#156&#133 People? She adores them. &#226&#156&#133 Dogs? Instant besties. &#226&#156&#133 Kids? She belly-crawls just to be close to them—it’s beyond precious. We believe she’s a Dutch Shepherd mix, weighing in at about 45 pounds, with a gorgeous, sleek coat and a heart that beats for human connection. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines—and yes, ready to go! Now, she’s just looking for a home that can match her devotion with love and guidance. Toys are her jam, and she’ll happily entertain herself or join you for a game of fetch. No kitties for this girl, please! Chasing them is just too much fun, and she needs a cat-free home to thrive. Sara is the kind of dog who makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Her loyalty is unmatched, her spirit is bright, and her readiness for her forever home couldn’t be clearer. Interested in giving this beautiful girl her happily-ever-after? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com today. Let Sara show you what love, intelligence, and a second chance can really look like. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.
