Story
Meet McCoy – the sweetest little sidekick you didn’t know you were missing. At just 4.5 months old and 24 pounds, McCoy is a delightful mix of silly, snuggly, and smart. He may be a tiny bit shy at first, but give him a little patience and you’ll quickly discover his playful personality and affectionate heart. McCoy comes from a pretty interesting family tree! His mom is a Heeler/Beagle mix and his dad is a cream-colored Goldendoodle, which resulted in one very unique and adorable pup. He has the coloring of his siblings but favors his Beagle-mix mama in looks — with short little legs, a loooong Basset-style body, and a thick, medium-length coat that’s perfect for cuddling. Though he was born outside and spent his early weeks living outdoors with his parents and littermates, McCoy is now thriving inside a loving foster home. He’s learning all about family life — from the excitement of greeting you at the door (he gives the best welcome-home kisses!) to living with young boys ages 6 and 10. Every day he grows braver and more confident. At first, the big dogs in his foster home made him a little nervous — but now? He’s happily part of the crew. He absolutely loves to run and play outside, and fetch with tennis balls is quickly becoming one of his favorite games. And yes… he is SMART. You can just see those wheels turning. One of the most special things about McCoy is how deeply he bonds with his people. When his foster mom recently had a terrible migraine, McCoy instinctively curled up beside her and stayed close, offering quiet comfort. He’s not just cute — he truly cares. His activity level is beautifully balanced. He enjoys playtime and adventures, but he’s just as happy snuggled up right next to you. With a loving, supportive family, McCoy is going to absolutely bloom into the best kind of companion — loyal, joyful, and full of heart. He is expected to grow to around 45–50 pounds when fully grown. If you’re looking for a special boy who is adorable inside and out, McCoy may be your perfect match. To learn more about McCoy, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. We transport from our rescue base in Nashville up the northeastern corridor of states to approved adopters. McCoy is ready to find his forever family — maybe it’s you. 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 15, 2026, 6:32 pm

Story
Available for adoption! Good morning, Hal, here. I want to share with you my experience which has prepared me for a loving family and I hope if you are reading this you will feel compelled to consider adopting me! I heard my owner say it would be kinder to surrender me to the shelter. My question was kinder to whom! Luckily for me (and my fursister with the same condition) I heard that Ming's assistant was going to bring us north and work with us to help us recover what ever control might be possible. She took us to a specialist who said we suffered from neurological issues but that there was no conventional treatment. But that was not the end of our quest for help as we got remedies from the Homeopath and Ming's assistant would hold us close to comfort us and make it possible for us to eat the chicken & rice meals she prepared. The road to recovery was long but the unending support of Ming & his assistant continued. I am happy to report that our issues are nearly resolved. So if you have room in your heart & home for an awesome, precious boy please send an email to the Rescue (WOW.Rescue@yahoo.com) for information & an application. The unconditional love I will give you will be a great blessing! PS. Ming says I would be fine to be adopted by myself as he has taught me to be independent and Ming is always right.

Story
Meet Cooper, he’s a stunning 8 year old golden retriever mix. If you’ve ever wished for a best friend who greets you like you’ve been gone for years (even if it’s just 5 minutes), Cooper is your boy! This sweet soul is a 8 year-old golden retriever mix with a heart as big as those puppy-dog eyes. He loves the simple things in life—soft blankets, belly rubs, and being close to their favorite humans. Whether it’s curling up beside you after a long day or happily trotting along on a walk, Cooper is just happy to be by your side. Cooper has a gentle, loving personality and gets along amazing with other dogs, cats, chickens, goats ..he loves everyone and every animal!! He is amazing with children and can’t wait to have kids to shower with live. Cooper would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of love, a little playtime, and a cozy spot to rest. Cooper loves so fully, all he wants now is a forever home where he can feel safe, cherished, and part of the family. If you’re ready to open your heart and home, Cooper is ready to fill it with love (and probably a little fur, too).

Story
Maggie was homeless for a long time. A kind gentleman tried for months to safely capture her. She became pregnant and had her puppies in the woods, and that’s when she was finally able to be brought to safety. Adjusting to life inside a home has been a big change for Maggie. In the beginning she was very shut down, and it has taken a few months for her to start trusting her person. She loves other dogs, gets adorably excited at mealtime, and while new people can be a little scary for her, she always remains gentle and sweet—even when she’s unsure. Maggie will need a very patient, understanding family who is willing to continue working with her and help her grow into a more confident dog. She would do best in a quiet home, ideally with fewer people and not a lot of activity, where she can feel safe and continue building her confidence. With time and love, she truly blossoms. 🚨 IMPORTANT ADOPTION NOTICE: Maggie can only be adopted within Arkansas. If you are out of state and interested in adopting her, you must be willing to travel to Arkansas to pick her up. No transport is available. 🚨 Maggie is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and currently undergoing heartworm treatment. If you’d like to make Maggie part of your family, please complete our adoption application. 🐾

Story
Muffin - The Velcro Puppy's Story Muffin is a 2-month-old, 6-pound bundle of love who has already overcome so much in her short little life. She and her siblings were abandoned on a busy beach filled with feral dogs, where they survived by hiding under rocks for nearly two weeks before finally being rescued.

Despite everything she’s been through, Muffin is unbelievably loving, gentle, and affectionate. She absolutely melts for belly scratches, cuddles close whenever she can, and seems so grateful to finally feel safe and cared for. She has the sweetest soul and is quickly learning what it means to be loved.

Muffin is looking for a family ready to give her the happy, secure life she has always deserved. In return, she’ll give endless snuggles, puppy kisses, and unconditional love.
