Story
Meet Nile, a sweet and affectionate guy who is still getting settled in and learning the ropes! Nile is a friendly boy who loves attention and is happy to greet anyone who wants to say hello. He has lived with an 11-year-old child and has done well with her, enjoying plenty of cuddles and playtime. Nile is generally pretty calm and enjoys playing fetch, relaxing on his dog bed, and spending time with his people. He is still learning his name and appears to know “sit” and possibly “down.” Nile has only been in his previous home for about a week, so there is still plenty to discover about this lovable boy as he settles into a new routine. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate companion who enjoys cuddles, playtime, and being near his people, Nile may be your guy!

Story
  Momma Honey - This Golden Retriever mix girl is about 2 years old and 50 pounds and has the most amazing foster mom and this is what she says about Honey.    'What  can I say, she is the most incredible dog I’ve ever met. This young, beautiful, golden mix momma dog was walking by my house one night in early July. It was raining, dark, and she was thin, tired, starving, and thirsty. This momma had the drive and will to survive for her puppies. All eight of them. All I knew was that she was nursing and there were puppies somewhere near. She stopped by home long enough for me to feed her and the she was on her way. After her third visit, she trusted me. We walked down a two lane country road about a half a mile until she pulled me in the direction of what might be her home. A home that was no home to her. A home that didn’t love her, didn’t want her, didn’t feed her, and didn’t know she had 8 beautiful puppies behind a trailer on the back field. I took her and all her babies the next day, loaded them up in my CRV, and they came home. To a real home, a home with love, and silly songs about dogs and cats and kitties and baths. Honey had to share the spotlight, which she didn’t mind. My love was shared amongst her, her 8 pups, my three labs, and my indoor kitty, all rescues. She immediately took to my girls. She wanted a friend, she got three. Honey is a brave soul for standing nose to nose with my one year old black and white kitten, Biggie. She’s small, fierce, and runs this household, but Honey wanted to spend time with her too. I’ve not met a dog, a mother, a warrior like her. She protects her babies, protects me, and is currently my best lookout dog.  With her shiny golden coat that flips out at the bottoms, shiny white teeth, and DROP DEAD stunning golden eyes, she stole my heart, but her personality touched my soul. It’s been a privilege to love on this medium size, 50 lb dog, that holds my hand with her paw and sits on the front porch with me in the mornings. Honey is great with new people. A sweet neighbor comes over each morning with chicken baked just for her. We call him the chicken man and he is always welcome, just like she will welcome the family that gets to take her home. Honey is loyal, loving, and a traveler. This girl is ready to settle in for the long haul. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  if you are interested in adopting her.                 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 11, 2026, 8:47 pm

Story
Meet Wallace! This handsome guy is going to make someone very happy! Wallace is a relatively calm dog but will always be excited and happy to see you when you come home. He loves hanging out at home with his family but is always up for a hike or play time. Wallace is affectionate with his humans, but he may need you to give him space initially and let him tell you when he is ready for affection. If you do that, it seems that he will feel “heard” and will seek you out for affection. He does bark when he sees people outside the home, but not excessively, and will happily greet your guests. Wallace currently has a dog door to a fenced yard, which he absolutely loves. This might be the best setup for him. On walks, he does well but would prefer to be allowed to sniff everything. So if you’re in a hurry, trying to get your steps in, Wallace may not be the best fit for you. He can be reactive at times toward other dogs while on a walk. When it comes to canine buddies, Wallace is selective. With a proper introduction, he does well with some dogs, whereas other dogs he will not tolerate. So he would probably be happiest as an only dog but may be able to have a few dog buddies if you take the time for a slow intro (e.g., a few walks together). Wallace has not lived with cats as far as we know, though he does not appear to have very high prey drive when he sees squirrels and bunnies outside. Wallace likes to be given a little space when he is lying in a comfy bed or enjoying his food, a toy, or a bone. He has been known to growl or show his teeth in this context but has never bitten anyone. Out of an abundance of caution, we recommend that he go to a home with no kids younger than teens. This sweetie is about 10 years old, neutered, and has no known health issues. He weighs about 50-60 lbs and is thought to be a golden retriever mix. He will be brought up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption. He is housetrained and does just fine without being crated. Wallace’s family is moving overseas and can’t take him with them. We (FFOCAS) are helping his family safely rehome him. Interested? Please get in touch via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through AdoptaPet. We will ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved – especially Wallace!
