Story
I rescued Charlie and Willow from a hoarder house in Vegas when they were 6 months old. They are 9 years old now and they are the sweetest most loving dogs ever. This is the hardest thing I will have ever had to do but due to my health, I can’t care for them anymore. They are truly loved by anyone they’ve ever met. They’re always the favorite dogs at any boarding I’ve ever had to take them. I am looking for someone who will treat them like their children.

Hammy is a sweet super energetic boy who would do best in a patient home with a big yard to run in and let all his energy out. Hammy loves toys and would happily play a game of fetch or tug-of-war. Hammy can’t wait to meet his furever family!

Story
  Alexis is a stunning, purebred German Shepherd with a loyal heart and so much love left to give. She has been cherished since she was a young puppy by a devoted dad who is now facing one of the hardest decisions of his life. Due to serious health challenges and a move closer to medical care, he can no longer keep his beloved girls—and he is absolutely heartbroken. At Critter Cavalry Rescue, we made him a promise: Alexis will find a safe, loving home where she can thrive and be treasured just as she deserves. Alexis is a beautiful girl who could benefit from losing about 20 pounds, and she’s ready for a fresh start filled with healthy routines and fun activity. She’s smart, affectionate, and enjoys both playtime and relaxing at home with her people. She has lived with children and other dogs and does wonderfully—but she will need a cat-free home. She especially loves playing with her Blue Heeler sister, Sassy, and has been a constant, loyal companion. Now it’s her turn to find a family who will give her the same unconditional love she has always given. Alexis is ready for her next chapter—a life filled with walks, companionship, and a family who will keep the promise we made to her dad: that she will always be safe, loved, and secure.   If you feel that pull in your heart, please reach out.   Email: ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Be sure to include your city and state when inquiring.   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.comJuly 31, 2026, 11:14 am

Story
  Raquel is a gorgeous, funny, super bright and loving pure bred German Shepherd girl who is 4 months old and 43 pounds.  Found as a stray just after the 4th of July weekend this girl was never claimed by anyone from social media and postings by  the small town shelter.  No collar, not spayed and a little underweight, this girl was just released to Critter Cavalry Rescue to find her the best GSD savvy home ever.  Raquel is just a baby and will blossom under the right home environment into a gorgeous 80+ pound girl when fully grown. This girl is a working breed that will require lots of exercise and mental stimulation daily.  A fenced yard is an absolute requirement and qualification to meet in order to be considered to adopt her.  She would be fine with another dog in the home or even cats.  She is destined to be a fun companion and puppy to raise and mold into all the potential that we see already exists in her.  She is not skittish and she is smart smart smart!!!   If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live please; city and state.       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.comJuly 31, 2026, 11:13 am

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.
