Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: Yes, with proper introsGood with cats: NoGood with kids: Yes, older childrenCrate trained: YesHouse trained: YesBuster is a big boy with a big, goofy, lovable personality. He’s the type of dog that everyone in your life knows the name of and has a funny story about.Buster is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. His favorite things are treats, playing, and people who pet him. He loves toys of all sorts (and is always down for a game of tug-of-war).While he’s a whole lot of fun, Buster needs an experienced, confident adopter. He has worked very hard on training and structure in his foster home. Once he learns your boundaries and settles in, he really shines. He’ll look to you for guidance on how to be his best self.He is energetic, but is happy to chill after his morning exercise routine. He’s a great work from home buddy, only getting up from his nap for an occasional scratch on the head. He likes to be involved so he will follow you around as you move about your home.Buster absolutely loves other dogs and is learning to take cues when playing. He currently lives with another dog in his foster home and would do well with a playful, tolerant doggie sibling (or would be happy as an only dog).Buster is extremely social and sometimes has trouble containing his excitement. As a result, he can be reactive to dogs on leash. He is working very hard on improving and will need an adopter dedicated to continuing his training.While he’s very friendly with people, he’s a big boy that doesn’t understand his size so he would do best in a home with older children.Buster sleeps through the night in his crate and settles in the crate during the day. However, he can be vocal when he can’t greet guests. Because of this, he would do well in a home without nearby neighbors or neighbors who will appreciate him as he sings the song of his people.Buster will be a fantastic, loyal companion. If you’re looking for a dog where you can see your hard work pay off and quite a few laughs, Buster is your guy!Please Note: All dogs currently available for adoption are posted on our website. If you cannot find a particular dog on our website, he/she may be on a temporary foster hold. All dogs are otherwise posted until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application.May 7, 2024, 3:30 pm

Story
Riley is the sweetest Golden retriever mix. He is 1Y8M and he was found in a trailer park in Alabama as a stray. He has been in MA for few months. When he first arrived he was afraid of the leash as we believe he was never on one but now he is a total pro! He loves his walks and meeting other dogs. Incredible with other dogs, people, kids and so far even some cats! That surprised us as he does have a high pray drive for rabbits and squirrels but then again which golden retriever doesn’t? When he is not playing with his friend Pippa, you can find him cuddling next to you. His other favorite pass time is playing fetch! That he can do for a long time for sure 😃 He is looking for an energetic and active person or couple who can give him the exercise he needs. A fenced yard is a requirement for this young fellow If interested please apply on www.legacyrescue.org/adoption

Story
Major is a purebred English cream Golden Retriever who was bought from a breeder. Unfortunately, Due to unexpected personal circumstances the family decided to surrender Major to our care and to find him the perfect home. He is 11 months old and 73 lbs big boy. Pure love bug, sweet, kind. Due to his size people forget he is still a puppy and has lot of energy. He does know how to settle down though once he plays with his friend Lilly, several walks and some fetch. Extremely trainable, he is also somewhat of a Velcro dog. He loves being near people and definitely loves a combination of belly rubs accompanied by some treats 🤷‍♀️ He is looking for his next home so please only apply if you have the time and energy to dedicate to a young pup who need the exercise but also lots of cuddling and kisses.

Story
Are you ready for some big puppy fun??? Cooper is a happy, clever young guy that is looking for adopters that will be excited to help him achieve best boy ever status! This means positive rewards training, fine tuning house training, exercise and tons of fun and laughs in between. Because Cooper loves everyone he meets and gets very excited, he might forget all about the polite way to greet people and be a bit on the jumpy side. Teens that are comfortable with bouncy young dogs and will participate in his training, will be considered. He can potentially join a home with a resident dog that is comfortable with his rough and tumble play style and who can be a good role model. No cats in the home at this time, please. Cooper is ready to become a wonderful companion for many years, he just needs to find his forever family. If you think he might be the one for you, please drop by the shelter during open hours to talk to staff. Tuesday- Sunday 12-3p

Story
Bandit is a one year old golden retriever. He is a sweet boy who loves cuddling and affection. He loves to play fetch and be goofy. He would be best in a home with no kids, as he is jumpy when excited. He has not been neutered yet but it should make him more calm. He has had basic training but he needs a bit more training for his leash pulling. Besides his leash pulling, he is amazing dog. He is crate trained and very obedient. With work and family, I don’t have enough time in the day to keep up with him. He is up to date on his shots and we are hoping to find him his forever home asap. Please contact (xxx) xxx-xxxx . Thank you.

Story
My name is Milo Magoo and I am a 3 year old Golden Doodle with a birthday that is coming in the next few days… to turn 3 yrs. old.  I weigh 80 pounds and I am looking for an attentive and dog training family that will really shape and polish me to be the spectacular dog that I have the potential to be.  My current family really has no time to work with me to shape me in to a dog with great manners and emotional control.   I am bored in this home and I need physical and mental stimulation and fun challenges to do.  I am very happy, sweet, and very active with running and playing.  I am a male that is ALL BOY and if I had my wish I would say to adopt me if you have a girl dog in the family.   I would love to have a girlfriend for life!  When I am bored my favorite, yet dangerous, thing to do is eat socks.  So please watch that if you take me home.  It is totally out of boredom.   Critter Cavalry Rescue is tryng to change all this by placing me in the right home that they will review closely.   I am a silver tawny coloring and people just ohhhhh and ahhhhh over the color of my coat of  hair.  If you would like to adopt me please email right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com Mention in the email where you live!!!   That helps so much too.  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 7, 2024, 9:26 pm

Story
Likeable Levi – this happy guy is always smiling, happy to greet you when you enter the door, and will lavish you with kisses.  Levi is a 4 year old Goldendoodle boy, he is 52 lbs, neutered, UTD on all vaccinations, HW negative, and microchipped.   Levi loves to gallop in his foster mom’s backyard and he enjoys playing fetch.  Oh, this boy is super smart and  housetrained, he is great in the house.  Levi is an excellent car rider – it’s natural for him to just jump in the back seat and is ready for the next adventure.  He loves to look out the back window or just lays down. Levi is your velcro dog – such a faithful friend.   He attaches himself easily to his human and wants you all to himself.  Levi could easily be a lapdog, as he enjoys watching the evening news with his foster mom, and will lay at your feet while his foster mom works at her computer – without moving an inch.  He loves to talk to you – as his bark is almost like a soprano singing and it means he is very happy to have you around.  Levi would do best as a companion dog to a female dog if needed.   He gets along well with his foster siblings, and even the resident cat.  You can easily walk Levi and he is fine strutting around the neighborhood and will not bother approaching dogs or humans. You are in for a real treat.  Levi will be your best friend.  This boy is fully grown and ready for the best final chapter of his life.  Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com 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 7, 2024, 9:26 pm
