Story
Meet Dante! This gentle Lab/Pyrenees-mix was surrendered through no fault of his own and is ready for a new start! Dante walks well on leash. He does give a tug now and then but is obedient to direction. Dante loves a good treat! So much so that he may counter surf for them, so keep them out of sight! He takes treats gently when offered and will `sit` and `paw` for them as well. Dante is a playful pup who enjoys toys. He is gentle with them and does not resource guard. Dante is house and crate-trained. He will be shy when he first meets you, but warms up quickly and is very social with people that he knows. Dante has lived with other dogs but, like with people, he starts off shy before he becomes comfortable and social. This chill and snuggly pup would love a chance to show you how great he is! Come in and meet Dante today!

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. To adopt Levi, contact us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. Levi is ready to bring love and joy to his new family—could it be yours?
