Story
Wallace is a 10-year-old Golden Retriever mix, a bit smaller than the purebred Goldens many people are familiar with. We adopted him three years ago from a home in West Virginia. At that time, he had been on anxiety medication and was surrendered due to concerns about his comfort around a soon-to-arrive baby.When Wallace first joined our family, he was a little nervous and unsure about affection. With time, patience, and a stable environment, he has truly come out of his shell. Today, he has grown into a sweet companion who will happily come over to ask for pets and enjoy being close to his people.Wallace can be vocal at times and will bark, especially when he sees another dog on the street. He doesn’t do well in high-energy environments like dog parks, and for that reason we’ve avoided them. However, he has had positive interactions with other Golden Retrievers and a few carefully selected dogs, showing that with the right match and introductions, he can enjoy canine company.

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 5, 2026, 12:25 am

Story
Penny is almost 5 years old and a goofball who we love dearly, but life has become very stressful for her lately. She’s a Golden Retriever mix and a really smart, loyal girl, but her start as a stray puppy left her with some deep-seated anxiety. Since we’ve had a toddler and now have a newborn on the way, we’ve realized that the unpredictable energy of small children is just too much for her; she’s spent most of her time hiding and her quality of life has really declined. Penny has never been aggressive, but she gets a mix of overly excited and scared at the same time, which makes a home with kids a tough fit. She’s great and gentle with cats, and while she doesn’t do well in crowded dog settings, she could potentially warm up to another dog. We’re looking for someone who can give her an active but calm life where she doesn't have to be afraid.

Story
-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 80lbs lbs -KNOWN WITH DOGS: LOVES being around other dogs! Both young and does well with older pups. -KNOWN WITH CATS: Not sure how he'd be with cats! -KNOWN WITH KIDS: A sweet pup, would be wonderful -KNOWN CUES: Sit, come, and down -KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: Frankie is getting the hang of housetraining! When taken out regularly he goes outside. He is also puppy pad trained. He will need housetraining reinforcement in a new home, as he is a puppy!! With encouragement and treats he will settle well in his crate. -KNOWN LIKES: Playing with other dogs or kids, romping around the grass, playtime with toys, walkies -KNOWN DISLIKES: Being left ALLLLL alone. He would love to be in a home with another dog companion, or a home that has a lot of in and out! ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Frankie is looking for his own home! Currently in a home with his brother, his growing size is too much for the individual who has them to keep them both. He's a sweet dog that loves people, has great energy, and would be a fantastic companion! Anticipated to be a larger breed, we are looking for someone ready to take on the responsibility needed for a large breed! Notes from the foster: He walks well on a leash, is curious, is mostly house trained and crate trained, knows the "sit" and "come" commands; he knows how to do a "down" but I haven't put the name to it yet. He does not mind me touching any part of his body and has been easy at vet visits. He has been introduced to multiple people from toddlers to adults and various dogs and has been happy to meet them all. He is a smart dog. His shots are up to date, most of them until 2027!
