Story
  Dottie is a Chocolate and White female puppy who is a spunky and loving girl who wants only to be near her foster mom everywhere she goes.  Born to a beautiful, homeless Golden Retriever mix momma named Honey, Dottie was part of a litter of 8 puppies soon became a rumor of desertion and abandonment in a small town rural area of Tennessee.  Their momma Honey was known to travel the roadside looking for food and sustenance and people talked of her puppies being located in a wooded area and roaming.  A kind single mom with 2 children of her own and working two jobs, heard the rumor, and went looking for this desperate little family.  She found momma Honey and her brood living under a flat bed trailer at the edge of a wooded area. We have the pictures and video.  Rescue foster mom, Kayla, took them home and soon a search was started to find help from a rescue group that could secure homes and vetting assistance for this large family.   Critter Cavalry stepped up even though this foster family were 3.5 hours  away. Everyone made it work. Dottie is a pretty girl who will one day be a 55-60 pounds girl with the sweetest face that is accented and remembered for her deeply green eyes and chocolate polka dots and freckles.  She is fun loving and wants to be in the middle of the party action when her siblings are having too much fun.  She is an observant girl that is sensitive and loves to know what is going on all around her at all times. She is very bright and an active girl that is engaged and ready to have all the fun she can in life.  A wonderful girl who will be your greatest cuddle companion as you grab a bowl of Popcorn and turn on your favorite TV shows to binge on for a weekend of getting lost from all the cares of the world, Dottie is there for you and will be your favorite Mini ME as she mirrors the mood and energy level of her new owner and family.    She is destined to be a 50-55 pound girl but will always be a  puppy who is eager to learn and easy going with her attitude toward life.  She has the most beautiful green eyes and the softest skin that is so ready to be stroked and petted.  She is growing and she will be a perfect family companion as she is displays her easy nature at all the right times in life.  Not one aggressive bone in her body.  Dottie has been around young children and great and also has been around a small cat as well and did well.  She is a chameleon in life.  She will adjust and fit right in wherever she is planted. A beauty that is ready to blossom right before your eyes.  Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in this sweet girl.  We recommend a home with a fenced yard or large outside property for her best family fit.  She is ready NOW!!!!!        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.comSeptember 22, 2026, 6:39 pm

Story
 Lainey Wilson is a beautiful puppy who is a light and a DELIGHT to all those who meet her.   Born to a beautiful homeless Golden Retriever mix momma named Honey, this litter of 8 puppies soon became a rumor of desertion and abandonment in a small town rural area of Tennessee.  Their momma Honey was known to travel the roadside looking for food and sustenance and people talked of her puppies being located in a wooded area and roaming.  A kind single mom with 2 children of her own and working two jobs, heard the rumor, and went looking for this desperate little family.  She found momma Honey and her brood living under a flat bed trailer at the edge of a wooded area.

Everyone made it work. Lainey Wilson is a  white and light tan girl with a big heart and a soft soul of love and sweetness.    She is gentle and loving and delights in chewing on your fingers and giving her foster humans her sweet kisses. She started out as a quiet puppy but has blossomed in to an adventurer like Dora the Explorer!   She loves food and she loves cuddling with her people.  Big dogs do not scare her at all and we have found her to have a courageous and brave personality that does not shy away from new experiences.  She is destined to be a 50-55 pound girl but will always be a  puppy who is eager to learn and easy going with her attitude toward life.  She has the most beautiful green eyes and the softest skin that is so ready to be stroked and petted.  She  thinks she is a lap dog but she is not so small as to stay that way for long.  She is growing and she is expanding her size and shape.  Lainey Wilson has been around young children and great and also has been around a small cat as well and did well.  She is a chameleon in life.  She will adjust and fit right in wherever she is planted.

Story
  Rocky is one of those very special puppies that has an old soul kind of personality and is going to be a BIG BOY!  This boy weighs 24 pounds at just 12 weeks and most probably will grow to be a 70 lbs adult. What you notice first about Rocky is his adorable freckled nose and his magical eyes that are lined in black.  His body just lumbers around with a swerve from head to tail like his back feet are trying to keep up with his front feet.  This handsome boy was found on a rural country road with his mom and all his 7 other siblings (8 total puppies). A call was made to us from the kind single mom of 2 children who took all of the puppies and the Momma Golden Retriever mix in and soon we had them all placed in foster homes.  Momma is adopted and now we have started the search for great homes for the puppies.  Rocky is the only puppy who has his unique look. His foster mom loves how he melts into her body when she picks him up or he lays on the sofa with her.  He is around extra big dogs daily and this past Saturday Rocky spent all day at different Puppy Yoga events and then a 13  year old boy's birthday  party just getting all the love and attention any puppy could want.  He was so easy going and compliant and  loved being carried around or sitting on someone's lap.  Rocky is well on his way to learning the ropes of going outside and he sleeps through the night with his brother Beau in the exercise pen in the den.  He is a good eater and he is not food aggressive in any way with any other dogs or people. This boy is going to be a special dog in your lifetime of owning dogs.  Don't miss out on Rocky.   He is ready for adoption on September 24th. He is currently in Nashville, TN and we transport to the northeastern states above Tennessee.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.  We cannot provide a meet and greet but can provide some videos and extensive conversations with the foster mom.          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.comSeptember 22, 2026, 6:39 pm

Story
Just one look at Beau's face and you'll understand why everyone falls in love with him. Those soulful eyes...those adorable floppy ears with their soft feel and all that extra Hound dog skin that you know he will grow in to and be a gorgeous adult boy. He was born in a litter of 8 puppies to a Momma dog who is a Golden Retriever mix and just was adopted on 9/18.  We have to believe that Dad was handsome traveling Hound mix that will influence Beau's ultimate size to be 65 pounds as an adult. He is a chunky boy now at 13 weeks and weighing 26 pounds. Born around the middle of June this boy and his momma and siblings were just being raised in the outdoor area at the border of the woods and a home with a flatbed trailer that was parked in the backyard.  That was their cover from the rain and storms of summer.  Momma did well and finally someone was told of their desperate plight and took all 8 puppies and momma in to her carport area to get good food and care.  Critter Cavalry Rescue soon was contacted and stepped in.  Now this handsome  puppy who is quiet and observant of life, is looking for his soulmate family to spend the next 12+ years with.  He is so cuddly and melts in to your body when you pick him up after a long  day of his playing and adventuring.  He is a seeker of nature and loves to check out the things in life that make him curious and intrigued.  He is a chunky monkey that just relaxes in  your arms when you hold after a long afternoon of playing and hunting for the bugs and critters in the backyard.  He in a very attentive and caring foster home with other large dogs who adore his laidback personality.  They are crate training him and he is catching on FAST on the potty training too.  He knows the drill and if you are both in tune with each other you will find him 100% responsive to knowing how to take it outside.  He is destined to be a solid and heavy boy but not necessarily tall.  His Golden momma and possibly Hound dad will make him the mellow light yellow boy that will make a mark on your family life.  Beau is great with children as he has attended birthday  parties for young children and loved the attention and being held. Whatever his mix may be, one thing is certain—he's absolutely perfect just the way he is.Beau is everything you hope for in a puppy. Curious. Joyful. Smart. Affectionate. He's already using pee pads like a champ when he can't make it outside, and he's beginning to learn about crates, leashes, and all the exciting adventures that come with growing up. This solid and chunky guy wakes up every day ready to discover the world. Whether he's exploring the backyard, playing with other dogs, making friends with cats, or greeting complete strangers with a wagging tail, Beau approaches life with confidence and happiness. He truly believes everyone is a friend he just hasn't met yet. Because he's an active, intelligent puppy, Beau will thrive with a family that enjoys spending time outdoors. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, or an active family committed to daily walks, trips to the dog park, and plenty of playtime and training. He's eager to learn and will blossom with the guidance, consistency, and love that every puppy deserves.Beau isn't just looking for a home, he's looking for his people—the family who will celebrate his silly puppy moments, teach him new things, laugh at his antics, and love him through every stage of life. In return, he'll fill your days with laughter, companionship, and unconditional love for years to come. If your heart skipped a beat when you saw Beau, it may be because he's been waiting for someone just like you.To learn more about adopting Beau, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. We transport to many northeastern states and also adopt to families throughout Tennessee.  Please tell us where you live when inquiring about him.  We have an application that we will send over to you pronto!!!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.comSeptember 22, 2026, 6:39 pm
