Story
Chloe is 4 years old. She is the sweetest, most loving dog I’ve ever had. She’s always happy and absolutely loves people, sometimes a bit too much. She loves playing with other animals and enjoys playing in the water. She definitely deserves a yard or someone who can match her same golden energy. I would love to keep her, but I think she deserves a lot more than what I can give her at the moment. She is such a sweetheart and to be honest - giving her up breaks my heart. But I just want her to live her best life and if someone else can do that, I’m happy.

Story
  Momma Honey - This Golden Retriever mix girl is about 2 years old and 50 pounds and has the most amazing foster mom and this is what she says about Honey.    'What  can I say, she is the most incredible dog I’ve ever met. This young, beautiful, golden mix momma dog was walking by my house one night in early July. It was raining, dark, and she was thin, tired, starving, and thirsty. This momma had the drive and will to survive for her puppies. All eight of them. All I knew was that she was nursing and there were puppies somewhere near. She stopped by home long enough for me to feed her and the she was on her way. After her third visit, she trusted me. We walked down a two lane country road about a half a mile until she pulled me in the direction of what might be her home. A home that was no home to her. A home that didn’t love her, didn’t want her, didn’t feed her, and didn’t know she had 8 beautiful puppies behind a trailer on the back field. I took her and all her babies the next day, loaded them up in my CRV, and they came home. To a real home, a home with love, and silly songs about dogs and cats and kitties and baths. Honey had to share the spotlight, which she didn’t mind. My love was shared amongst her, her 8 pups, my three labs, and my indoor kitty, all rescues. She immediately took to my girls. She wanted a friend, she got three. Honey is a brave soul for standing nose to nose with my one year old black and white kitten, Biggie. She’s small, fierce, and runs this household, but Honey wanted to spend time with her too. I’ve not met a dog, a mother, a warrior like her. She protects her babies, protects me, and is currently my best lookout dog.  With her shiny golden coat that flips out at the bottoms, shiny white teeth, and DROP DEAD stunning golden eyes, she stole my heart, but her personality touched my soul. It’s been a privilege to love on this medium size, 50 lb dog, that holds my hand with her paw and sits on the front porch with me in the mornings. Honey is great with new people. A sweet neighbor comes over each morning with chicken baked just for her. We call him the chicken man and he is always welcome, just like she will welcome the family that gets to take her home. Honey is loyal, loving, and a traveler. This girl is ready to settle in for the long haul. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  if you are interested in adopting her.                 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 4, 2026, 12:46 am

Story
🐕🐾Meet Maui—Your Adventure Buddy & New Best Friend!❤️Maui is a sweet, affectionate Golden Retriever/Husky mix who will be turning 3 in October. We rescued him from the Outer Banks Shelter and fell in love with his loving personality immediately. Maui is a happy, friendly, energetic boy who absolutely loves people and attention. He is great with our children and enjoys being part of the family. One of his favorite things is going on long walks, exploring the neighborhood, and stopping to sniff absolutely EVERYTHING along the way😂. Because Maui is a Golden Retriever/Husky mix, he is smart, active, curious, and full of personality. He would thrive with an experienced dog owner or someone who has the time to give him consistent one-on-one attention, training, exercise, and plenty of love. This decision is incredibly difficult for our family. With a military deployment, work, and caring for two children, we simply cannot give Maui the time and attention he deserves. 🐕💙 🏡🐾

Story
Hello my name is Nova. I`m a 3 year old lady that has all the moods sassy, affectionate, protective and loving. Don`t think I can`t bring all the drama of a queen and the playfulness of a toddler. I love to run, play fetch and all the toys. Do you have a family that I can fit right in?
