Story
Mighty Moses is a handsome golden colored two-year-old, 59 pound, Golden Doodle that is all about boy love.  We tried to post him before Valentine so that a family could gift themselves with the truest love of all...the love of a dog.  But busy times in rescue got in the way and we are hoping that the February month is all about the love of adopting a rescued dog.  Mighty Moses enjoys walks, car rides and snuggled close for cuddling by your side.  He gets along well with other animals both big and small which is a total PLUS.  He is housetrained, neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations, microchip and on heartworm prevention with a negative heartworm test.  Don't let this handsome, young Golden Doodle slip by!  Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  asap.  He's ready to go! 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.March 26, 2024, 11:20 pm

Story
No fee, but am asking to set up a vet appointment for him or atleast have a vet. I want him to go to a good home and be loved and cared for, as I have for the past 4 years. I unfortunately have to move back to the barracks. I was my moms caretaker and legal guardian but due to lack of proper resources and medical care in SWLA I had to move her back in with family and she now lives back in my home state. My dad can't take him due to his worsening MS. He's a great boy, and so loving. I rescued him from a shelter in Baltimore MD and have the paperwork for that. He came from a hard life but has made huge progress. He doesn't really understand dog toys, he will occasionally take a stuffed animal and carry it around or just lay with it. or chew on a fake antler toy. He would flip around cat toys though; he spent 2 years with cats because of my roommates and picked up on some of their tendencies. He doesn't really bark; I do have a Garmin vibrating collar for the yard time.
