Story
This is Bentley! He is a 100% purebred Golden Retriever. He is a very loving boy! He enjoys all of the attention, hugs, and snuggles you are willing to give him. This has been an incredibly hard decision for our family, we have 2 daughters who are both in sports. One of those requires monthly travel, and we spend our nights at cheer or the ball field. I know Bentley deserves more than we are able to give him at this time. He is absolutely wonderful with children, adults, other dogs, etc. He hasn’t been introduced to anyone he doesn’t love.

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.comOctober 5, 2026, 3:30 pm

Story
  Dottie is a Chocolate and White female puppy who is a spunky and loving girl who wants only to be near her foster mom everywhere she goes.  Born to a beautiful, homeless Golden Retriever mix momma named Honey, Dottie was part of a litter of 8 puppies soon became a rumor of desertion and abandonment in a small town rural area of Tennessee.  Their momma Honey was known to travel the roadside looking for food and sustenance and people talked of her puppies being located in a wooded area and roaming.  A kind single mom with 2 children of her own and working two jobs, heard the rumor, and went looking for this desperate little family.  She found momma Honey and her brood living under a flat bed trailer at the edge of a wooded area. We have the pictures and video.  Rescue foster mom, Kayla, took them home and soon a search was started to find help from a rescue group that could secure homes and vetting assistance for this large family.   Critter Cavalry stepped up even though this foster family were 3.5 hours  away. Everyone made it work. Dottie is a pretty girl who will one day be a 55-60 pounds girl with the sweetest face that is accented and remembered for her deeply green eyes and chocolate polka dots and freckles.  She is fun loving and wants to be in the middle of the party action when her siblings are having too much fun.  She is an observant girl that is sensitive and loves to know what is going on all around her at all times. She is very bright and an active girl that is engaged and ready to have all the fun she can in life.  A wonderful girl who will be your greatest cuddle companion as you grab a bowl of Popcorn and turn on your favorite TV shows to binge on for a weekend of getting lost from all the cares of the world, Dottie is there for you and will be your favorite Mini ME as she mirrors the mood and energy level of her new owner and family.    She is destined to be a 50-55 pound girl but will always be a  puppy who is eager to learn and easy going with her attitude toward life.  She has the most beautiful green eyes and the softest skin that is so ready to be stroked and petted.  She is growing and she will be a perfect family companion as she is displays her easy nature at all the right times in life.  Not one aggressive bone in her body.  Dottie has been around young children and great and also has been around a small cat as well and did well.  She is a chameleon in life.  She will adjust and fit right in wherever she is planted. A beauty that is ready to blossom right before your eyes.  Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested in this sweet girl.  We recommend a home with a fenced yard or large outside property for her best family fit.  She is ready 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.comOctober 5, 2026, 3:30 pm
