Story
  Thor is a one-year-old Great Dane and Lab mix weighing 71 pounds, and his story already reads like the opening scene of a movie. Found running loose through a Tennessee neighborhood, this big, beautiful boy was moments away from tragedy when fate—and a young dog lover—stepped in. Twice Thor ran in front of her car, and instead of driving on, she stopped, opened her door, and called to him. Without hesitation, Thor leapt into the back seat as if he knew his life was about to change. And it did.   With no collar and no microchip, Thor became part of Critter Cavalry Rescue and stayed with the very woman who saved him. From the moment he was safe, his true nature began to shine. Thor is strikingly handsome, with chiseled features and expressive ears that nearly stand straight up, giving him a regal, alert look—like a show dog who wandered off the Westminster runway and into a superhero origin story.   But don’t let the model looks fool you. Thor is pure joy wrapped in a giant puppy body. He tosses toys into the air, pounces on squeaky treasures, and delights in balls and stuffed animals with the enthusiasm of a dog who is still discovering how fun life can be. He doesn’t quite realize how big or strong he is yet, but his heart is gentle and his spirit is eager.   Thor is intelligent, focused, and deeply people-oriented. When you work with him, he locks onto you completely, especially if treats are involved, which makes training both effective and fun. He is wonderful with other dogs, showing no dominance or alpha behavior, just friendly curiosity and easygoing charm. Recently neutered, Thor is still growing and will likely fill out into a solid 90-pound adult over the next year.   He is housebroken and currently learning that being alone doesn’t mean being abandoned, as crates aren’t quite his favorite place. Thor simply loves people and wants to be near them, soaking in companionship and reassurance. His liver-and-black coat shifts with the sunlight, turning heads wherever he goes, and making him unforgettable long after he’s passed by.   Thor is the kind of dog who comes into your life once and leaves a permanent mark on your heart. He is waiting for someone to guide him, shape him, and grow with him into the extraordinary companion he is clearly meant to be.     If you are interested in making this big boy a big part of your life please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Tell us where you live, city and state.   We adopt to Tennessee where our rescue is based and he is being fostered, but we also transport to the Northeast   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.comJanuary 24, 2026, 5:58 pm

Story
Meet Castle, also known as my big baby. She’s sweet, affectionate, and always ready to play. Fetch is her favorite thing in the world, followed by walks and hiking. Castle is truly an incredible dog with so much love to give. Castle was raised with an older dog who had some aggression issues and developed some toy aggression of her own, mainly around her ball. This has been manageable, and we avoid dog parks and situations with other dogs. With structure and consistency, she does very well. Rehoming Castle is an incredibly difficult decision. As a single dad with a 5-year-old daughter, I don’t currently have the time and resources she deserves. If my situation were different, this wouldn’t be my choice. I love her deeply. Castle would thrive with an active, experienced person who wants a loyal adventure buddy. She’ll benefit from continued training, but most of all she needs love, consistency, and fun. With the right person, she’ll be an amazing companion.

Story
Polaris' former owners were heartbroken to give him up as he's just the sweetest and most loving dog! Sadly, Polaris came to the shelter because one of his former owners is facing some serious health issues. They wanted to keep him, but they knew it wasn't possible, so they brought him to the shelter in the hopes that someone special would find him and give him a good home. Polaris is very friendly. He's a little overwhelmed to be here at the shelter because it's a big change, and he loves to be with his people, but he's been lovely with everyone here. He is a bit jumpy currently, but that can be helped with training and plenty of exercise. He just needs to have his needs met. Polaris is sweet with people, but since he's somewhat of a "bull in a china shop," we think he wouldn't do well with little kids; only sturdy older kids for this guy! A big dog might be a match (pending a dog meeting here at the shelter), but he'd be too much dog for a small dog). No cats for this guy! Polaris is so deserving of a good home. Are you the one that could bring a happy ending to this story? Polaris is looking to start the next chapter of his life. If you're interested in our special boy, please call the shelter at (603) 472-3647 and press 1 to schedule an appointment.
