Story
Meet Loving Levi, an affectionate  3-year-old, 55-pound Goldendoodle with a heart as big as his fluffy curls! Levi is searching for a forever home with a fenced yard and a playful dog companion companion or two. Full of life, love, and loyalty—the three “L’s” that inspired his name—this charming boy will be your loyal, fun-loving friend. Levi thrives on companionship and will happily be your “Velcro dog,” always close by. He adores humans and other animals alike, and while he’s not a fan of being left alone for long, he’s calm and content in his foster home, spending time with his furry friends when his foster mom is away. When she’s home, Levi loves curling up by her feet as she works, and he’ll always greet you with enthusiasm and kisses, making you feel truly appreciated! With his soft poodle coat and an adorable white patch on his forehead (perfect for giving kisses!), Levi is as sweet as he is handsome. Although he currently doesn’t live with kids, Levi is always gentle and polite around them, making him a wonderful addition to any family. He’s well-mannered in his foster home, uses the doggie door to go outside. Car rides and walks are some of his favorite activities, and he’s ready to join you on every adventure. Levi is a healthy boy—neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm prevention, and microchipped. He’s just waiting for a family to share his endless love and loyalty. Critter Cavalry Animal Rescue is a Middle Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) dedicated to saving high-risk animals like Levi. As part of our mission, we travel to the Northeast weekly, bringing pets like Levi closer to their forever families. For more about our drop-off points and times, visit www.CritterCavalry.com. To adopt Levi, contact us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. Levi is ready to bring love and joy to his new family—could it be yours?

Story
  Imagine being a 50-pound bundle of energy, joy, and potential—with nowhere to go and no idea what it means to just be a dog. That was Roux’s reality for the first years of her life.   Roux is a stunning 2.5-year-old grey Goldendoodle who started life confined to a small apartment. She had little room to play, no yard to explore, and no canine companions to show her the ropes. The lack of exercise and mental stimulation left her with anxiety and uncertainty about the world outside four walls. When Roux was surrendered to Critter Cavalry Rescue, she had never been spayed, had no idea how to enjoy freedom, and needed a new start.   Her second chance came on a farm, where she met wide open spaces, curious animals, and—most importantly—dogs who knew how to run, play, and explore. At first, Roux froze when faced with freedom. She didn't know what to do off-leash. But with time, patience, and the encouragement of her new playmates, something beautiful happened: Roux blossomed. The weight of her early confinement lifted, and a playful, affectionate, and spirited girl emerged.   Roux is now thriving with a body and spirit set free. She races through fields, bounds with joy, and embraces life with a sense of wonder. She’s still a little quirky—a reminder of the tough start she had—but with a kind, confident, and experienced dog-savvy family, Roux will continue to grow into the incredible companion she was always meant to be.   Roux’s Ideal Home:   A confident, playful dog buddy A large fenced yard to chase butterflies (and maybe her own tail)‍‍‍ A family with dog experience and a whole lotta love Okay with cats (she might boop them once or twice) Probably best in homes with kids over 8, just because she’s a bit bouncy   She’s ready for her forever home—somewhere she can finally be her best, happiest self.   Interested in adopting this gorgeous goofball? Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.       Roux is ready for a home that can continue unlocking her potential.  If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet girl, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    Let Roux show you how beautiful a second chance can be.  Trust us, once you meet he,  you won’t stop smiling.       :   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.comMay 21, 2025, 9:16 pm

Story
Meet your new best friend in fur form! This golden guy hasn’t met a stranger—just future besties. Malak is good with kids, dogs, and cats. He’s always down for a snuggle or a bear hug. A big fan of car rides and school drop-offs (he takes his co-pilot duties very seriously). Got treats? You’ve got his attention. He’s a quick learner who already knows how to sit, shake paws, and come running when called. He’s also sharpening his leash manners day by day. With a wagging tail and a toy in tow, he’s pure golden joy. Application here: https://tinyurl.com/TLCdogapp If you applied for any of our dogs in the past 6 months, you do not need to submit another application, reach out through info@tascaslove.org and let us know you want to be considered for this pup.

Story
Please contact Jodi Rosenberg (jodi.rosenberg@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet shy boy seeking love and safety! GOLDIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Goldie    Best Guess for Breed: Golden retriever and Poodle mix  Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of June 2025         SEX:  Male    Approximate Weight: 47 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at:  South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!    Special adoption considerations:   This dog was rescued from a breeding operation that is shutting its doors. He has not been well socialized with new people and has lived his whole life with other dogs.  New nosies, cars, bikes, and other things may create fear and anxiety.  He will need a patient adopter who can give him time to come out of their shell and learn that the world is a wonderful and welcoming place.And because he is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog who will show him the ropes.   Goldie is Looking For:  His forever home, filled with snuggles and opportunities to see the world outside of a kennel. One where he is a cherished part of a family. He's very sweet, shy, and SO ready to be a Real Dog.    Extra patient and loving humans who introduce him to new places and people at his pace and a welcoming resident dog who will show him how to dog are high on his wish list! Along with quality kibble, a cushy dog bed, and endless snuggles. And one more thing: That type of coat is high maintenance. It needs daily brushing and professional grooming. Mats hurt.   You know what you get out of adopting a dog like that? An incredibly sweet, grateful dog who gives you all those adoring gazes, all the love and loyalty in his body, for all his days. What do you say? Is he the one for you? Are you his new chapter and forever home? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has spent time in foster care. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
