Story
Meet Stella! What a beautiful baby. She was a stray and after several weeks in our local shelter no one came looking for her and we adopted her so we could find her the most awesome home out there. Of course she was not spayed and had recently had babies and they were no where to be found. She did her good deed though despite being in a strange place with strange people missing her own babies. She stepped it up and became a surrogate mom for some puppies that were found abandoned. These puppies were too young to be on their own and needed milk from their momma. Stella lovingly took them as her own and saved them. Her surrogate puppies are off to their furever homes up north and now it’s her turn to shine and get the best home. She deserves to be spoiled and loved furever. Apply at Petpath.org. She is located in east TN but out of state adopters are welcome. We use rescue riders for transport needs because they are the best and they are non profi t as well! Hee adoption fee listed here on adopt a pet includes the cost of transport and health certificate for interstate travel. Transport may be available to your area please inquire.

Story
Right up front… Andy is looking for a experienced family where they’ve had big dogs before. Andy can be reactionary to new people or protective through the fence or a car windows. Definitely more suited for a one-dog owner. He is an alpha type dog, likes to be in charge so a strong dominant or alpha to counter, he Becomes overwhelmed Easily if his space, boundaries or territories are crossed. He can go into protection mode at times, become easily triggered, through car glass, fencing, and protective over his family. He’s very Protective over his home and his people. Needs time to warm up to new people and he likes to feel like he is in charge, so being an Alpha type he needs to controlled quickly and put in his place with a dominant voice, but once he is comfortable, he will be your best friend and trusted companion for life. Andy is approximately 2 years old, 75 lbs, mixed breed who found himself alone in a shelter, a young lady adopted him, she’s a nurse at beginning of Covid and couldn’t give him the attention he needed. We received a call for help, from that young lady, we don’t not know his origin story started, although I’m sure it wasn’t a happy beginning. Cats are ok, and maybe adult kids, he is curious about other dogs once he knows them loves to play. Andy is a lovable dog who will never leave your side, but need an experienced dog owner, someone that will giving him the time to be understood. Andy likes his butt scratched and rubbed. He likes long walks (although he can puller) and loves to sniff anything and everything along the way! He has had training, he knows sit and hand signals Andy is House broken by being crate trained, will run to his kennel on request and asked to place, he needs a fenced in yard. ( I can talk you through that) I have many videos to send. He’s a very hairy guy, brushing is a must, maybe a grooming professional initially. Can be left alone for long periods of time - does not chew or get into anything he's not supposed to. Likes to be right next to you on the couch and the bed. Well-trained - knows place, down, stay, sit, and working on heel. Loves peanut butter as a treat. He is neutered all vaccines and microchipped, and heartworm negative Since having him here we have had to work with him to to trust us, at first he will be a little nervous but give them time and he will fill your heart. If you have a big heart, kindness and experience with this type of dog, please email BakerBridgeRescue@aol.com and ask for an application, we would love to talk with you in detail about each pup after it is completed and sent back. We received a sponsorship donation to help with Andy's adoption fee, so it’s been reduced to $400. Once approved, we will call you. We transport every other week to a location near you with the most animal friendly transport - Rescue Riders Transport

Story
Once upon a time there was a girl, a young and pretty little Lab mix girl, that was taken home and raised by a loving couple.  They were older and over time, first her mom died and then dad passed away and our Bon Bon Lucy was left at the vet in boarding.  She was put in boarding last February and the family paid for a while but soon decided that they just wanted her euthanized because they had noone to take her home to live with them. This sweet girl was in boarding for almost 4 months and the vet staff got very attached to her.  They called a local rescue woman with a HUGE HEART and told her the plight of Bon Bon Lucy.  She in turn, reached out to Critter Cavalry to ask for help and we were happy to help. We found her a wonderful foster family who just love this easy going 13 year old girl. They are so in love with this 70 pound girl that thinks she is only 5 years old!   She is the adoring and constant companion of the teenage children in the home.  She has an 8 year old foster dog brother who she likes very much and she is content to lay in her crate with an open door during the day as mom and dad are away at work.  This girl would be gone to heaven right now if not for a vet that cared and a rescue woman who responded to their plea to save her from a senseless end to her life that was too soon. This sweetheart is SOOOOO HEALTHY and happy and she would love a home for the next 3-5 years to just be your adoring sweetheart!  If you want a calm, housebroken, non-destructive, love of a dog…Bon Bon Lucy is your GIRL!   Please contact us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and tell us where you live when you inquire about her.   We transport to the northeast from Nashville TN every weekend and we adopt locally to Nashville as well.  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.June 3, 2023, 6:04 pm

Mack N Cheese~adopted!

Golden Retriever/Labrador Retriever

Male, Puppy
Southbury, CT
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mack N Cheese Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.
