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 25, 2026, 8:26 pm

Story
  Have you ever seen a more handsome puppy than our darling Deano?   This boy has the best smile and the most handsome markings.  He is a puppy that was born in a litter of 8 puppies and  he has always marched to the beat of his own drum. Deano was born in the middle of June to a sweet momma Golden Retriever mix and spent the first 5–6 weeks of his life growing up in the woods with his mom and siblings. Thankfully, a kind person rescued the entire family and gave these puppies the safe start they deserved. Now this very special boy is ready to find the people who will appreciate just how wonderfully unique he is.From the beginning, Deano has been different his foster has stated. While his siblings were busy playing together in the yard, Deano could often be found doing his own thing on the carport, apparently contemplating the important questions of puppy life. His foster family joked that he wasn't just hanging around — he was studying at Harvard and working toward his doctorate in Astrophysics. And honestly… Dean does have that kind of personality.He's thoughtful. He's curious. He's independent without being aloof. He likes to take in what's happening around him and then decide for himself what he thinks about it. He plays with his siblings, explores his surroundings and even seems to have a protective little streak when it comes to the girls.His coloring and markings are different from everyone else in his litter, and somehow that seems fitting. Deano has always been his own boy.But underneath all that individuality is an incredibly gentle and loving puppy. Dean is a cuddler who loves being close to his people. He has the sweetest little howl that occasionally lets everyone know, “Hey, Deano is here!” And those beautiful green eyes seem to carry a quiet trust that makes you want to earn it — and treasure it.Deano is expected to grow into a 60+ pound adult dog. His momma is about 44 pounds, and his daddy was most likely a Hound mix and bigger than their Momma. So that thoughtful little puppy is going to become a big, handsome boy.Deano isn't necessarily going to be the puppy who follows the crowd. He's going to be the one who makes you wonder what he's thinking, makes you laugh with his quirky little ways, then quietly curls up beside you when he's ready for some love.He's smart. He's gentle. He's different.And Dean is definitely one of a kind. There has always been something a little different about Deano. From the very beginning, he seemed to have his own way of looking at the world. While his seven siblings were busy playing together in the yard, Dean might be off on the carport doing his own thing, quietly taking everything in. His foster family started joking that he must be studying at Harvard and working toward a doctorate in Astrophysics because he always seemed to be thinking about something important. Even as a puppy, Dean has had a wonderful balance of independence and affection. He doesn't always feel the need to be right in the middle of whatever everyone else is doing, but he absolutely loves his people and enjoys his time with his siblings. He has even taken on the role of protector from time to time, keeping a watchful eye on the girls. There is something endearing about watching him go about life with such quiet confidence.If you are interested in making this boy a part of your family life and ready to smile at his every day antics and thoughtfulness, then write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   He is ready for a new home 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 25, 2026, 8:26 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 25, 2026, 8:26 pm
