Microchipped. •The Good: - Playful, will play ball or frisbee with you all day long - Knows basic commands (Sit, Stay, Drop it, Lay Down, Shake, etc) - House Trained - Potty Trained - Crate Trained - Loves to be active! - GREAT at training, but needs consistency •The Bad: - Reactive in public/with new people, but 100% can be trained out of this - Is okay with children, but still firmly believes he is a big puppy and does not know his strength, so will knock a toddler down - Pulls while walking - Barks at pretty much everything (outside, not usually inside) - VERY picky about other dogs in his home •Overall a very good boy, but breed experience is a must for him, single dog home, someone with a lot of time for him on their hands, home with a fenced yard preferred.

Story
Poppi is a neutered almost 2 (3/7/22) german shepherd/blue tick hound mix, weighing ~55 lbs. He is a cuddle bug and will nudge his way into your lap if you let him, is house and kennel trained, walks well, loves to run and play, is great with kids, cats he sees as playmates and can be unrelentless in his efforts to play but is not aggressive towards them, good with other dogs. Poppi was acquired from a farm after an oops breeding occurred and has been with us since about 5 weeks old and raised with our other dog Albus (also here looking for a new home) since then.

Story
Our boy Easy Ryder is a handsome Shepherd mix that is young at just 18 months of age and 75 pounds of strength and muscle.  This intelligent boy is so much fun as he is filled with curiosity and a depth of intense observations that allows him to miss “nothing” that is going on around him.  This boy really loves the girls and so if he was going to live with another dog existing in a family, we would say girls only.  He is OK with cats but a little too curious for us to be totally comfortable that he would not chase.  He has been trained with lots of the things you want a dog to know about; crate trained, good on a leash and he loves long walks or a jogging companion.  This boy would be a great sidekick to ride around in your truck or SUV as you make your rounds and errands in life.  Easy Ryder needs a strong leader and a fenced yard would be truly a needed bonus to have an easy time with his exercise time and bathroom breaks.  If you are interested, please email us 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.September 27, 2023, 8:16 pm

Story
Sweet little Billie was brought to us by a young lady who actually witnessed her being tossed out of a car. The people sped off so quickly that the young lady couldn't get their plate number. When she first arrived I thought she was about 6 months but when we took her in for her spay, the vet said closer to 12 months so she's pretty much finished growing. She's only 26 pounds which is surprising considering her breed mixes. The DNA came back as German Shepherd, Australian Cattle dog, Great Pyrenees (what?) Those were the primary breeds but there is also a little Chihuahua, a little Beagle a little Rat Terrier and several more! Anyway, she is healthy and very lovable. She's crate trained, spayed, fully vaccinated, heart worm negative and microchipped. She's also house broken to our doggie door. Ready for immediate transport PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $650
