Story
  Roo is a 2–3 year old Blue Merle Great Dane adult who weighs 85 pounds and was found abandoned by a well-known lake in Tennessee.  Someone rescued her from this terrible fate of no food or clean water and no place to be as she was wandering around the lake area very skinny and starved.  She was so grateful when someone took her home.  She then had different people foster her only for a few days at a time until this wonderful family saw her plight and need and said.....let us take her and foster her with a good rescue group.  Now this big girl named Roo has some stability in her life and has earned the nickname “Velcro dog.”  Of course this lost and abandoned girl who was deserted by a lake and then bounced a few times, wants to be right by your side and soak up every ounce of love and attention you’re willing to give her.  She will learn one day that noone is ever going to abandon her again.  This athletic girl has plenty of energy, loves to play with a happy spirit and and is an impressive olympic class jumper. She will thrive best in an active home.  Food definitely motivates her and this makes it super easy to train her and get her undivided attention. Roo is house-trained, crate-trained, cat-friendly, and absolutely loves to snuggle in the bed with her humans.    Roo bonds quickly and becomes very protective of her people so we will have tips on how to temper that zealous enthusiasm to claim you. She needs a family where she can be the queen of the castle and receive endless love and attention in return. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by you through everything, Roo is your girl!       Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  She is currently fostered in Tennessee and can be adopted locally and also can transport to a loving family that is northeast of Tennessee.  We transport almost weekly on the weekends.       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.comJuly 30, 2026, 11:35 am

Story
Meet Clifford! Although Clifford is not red, he is a BIG dog! At the age of one, he is already 80 pounds and will continue to get bigger. While at the shelter, Clifford loves walks, puzzle toys, stuffed toys, and pets. Clifford would like his family to have experience with XL dog breeds and be made up of teens or older. Clifford has never lived with another dog, but he may enjoy a canine companion to run around with. Clifford is currently up to date on all of his vaccines, neutered, and micro-chipped. All adoptions start with a visit to our shelter and Clifford`s adoption must be approved by our Manager of Canine and Feline Care or Director of Animal Care Services!

Meet Cooper! Hes a 1 year old Great Dane/Pointer mix with the sweetest personality and the cutest goofy side. Cooper is friendly, affectionate, and loves being part of whatever youre doing. He enjoys toys, chew bones, and hanging out with his people, but he also has a playful side and would love another dog to romp around with or a couple of walks each day to burn off some energy. He walks well on a leash and is doing great with both crate training and house training. Cooper gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him an easy fit for many different kinds of families. Hes neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever home of his own.

Story
Blue, Blue, my world is Blue….. no, not sad, but Blue! Blue wants to be your world, and wants you to beher world.This lovely 7 year old Great Dane mix with a gentle spirit and an easygoing personality was surrendered by her owner through no fault of her own.Blue has the important stuff mastered. She's housebroken, rides like a pro in the car, and knows that life is just better when she is hanging out with her favorite people. She’s also good with other dogs. This girl loves being part of the action, but isn't the type to follow you from room to room every second of the day. She's happy just knowing you are nearby.Blue isn't crate trained, but she does very well in a gated room when left alone. On walks, she is manageable on leash, though she will benefit from some continued training to help her become an even better walking partner. A fenced yard would be a bonus, as she loves exploring at her own pace.Blue is highly food motivated, which makes training enjoyable and helps her learn new routines quickly. She does have a flea allergy, so she will need consistent spot-on flea prevention as part of her regular care.If you're looking for a loyal, calm companion who enjoys life's simple pleasures and will happily be by your side, Blue may be the perfect addition to your family. And there’s an added bonus – you can pet her without having to bend down!Name: BlueBreed: Great Dane mix   (Breed mix is not guaranteed-no DNA testing done).Sex: FemaleAge: 7 years (estimated)Weight: 80.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Unknown.

Story
Hello, my name is Sadie. I am a beautiful lady. I am a big girl, sleek, graceful, happy, full of life snuggle bug. I am house trained, doggy door trained, love car rides, other dogs, children, people and even chickens. I am leash trained but have a tendency to pull. I love playing tug-o-war with a rope, chase the ball and even play chase with you. I am the perfect size to snuggle in bed. Once we settle in for the night, I have a tendency to stretch out and push you to the edge of the mattress. After all, I am a Great Dane mix. I came into rescue recently. My mom died. My dad wanted to keep me but was unable to. There is 4 other older fur babies who are older he has to care for. My life has had tragedy from the beginning. The woman who rescued me from being given away at Walmart, took me home as a little baby, loved and cared for me. One day she was gone leaving me outside in the backyard with no food or water. The neighbors next door rescued me. I lived with them for 6 months until mom died. I am ready for my furever home with a family who wants me furever. We have adventures together waiting. Please write to alittlelonger2home@gmail.com and request an application. Please fill out completely including your three references email addresses.

Story
Scuba was originally found as a stray and wound up at a kill shelter in Georgia. A person adopted him in Boston, and Scuba was brought up North. Unfortunately, the person never showed up when it was time to pick Scuba up. He has since been looking for a place to call home. He’s currently housed at a daycare facility in Brookline. Scuba *predictably* has some hesitation when it comes to strangers. He takes a minute to warm up. Within 30 mins, you’ll be best friends. But initially, he’s scared, and may bark. He’s also a bit jumpy, and needs continued training to get basic manners down (he’s still young - right at 12 months old). He would thrive with a backyard and a pup friend to play with. He’s been passed around like a hotcake, and 3 families have returned him. He’s really starting to show stress from the lack of consistency in his life. He needs someone to actually give him a week or two to decompress and that will actually love him for who he is - a silly, quirky goofball.
