Story
Jupiter is a 2 year old male AKC Golden Retriever that came to us after his family was impacted by Hurricane Helene. He came to us underweight, with food insecurity issues, and having spent the majority of his time outdoors. We have had him for several months now. He is now of appropriate weight and his food insecurity has almost entirely subsided. He is house trained, however, due to his early experiences still enjoys spending the majority of his day outdoors exploring the yard or napping on the deck. Jupiter is playful, talkative, and gets along with most other dogs. He does not get along well with cats or poultry. He does fine with older children but still needs to work on manners (such as his habit of jumping on people) so may do better in a home without small children. Jupiter has so much potential and love to give and is ready now for his forever family!

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.
