Story
Meet Buddy! This big, lovable guy is around 3 years old and has a heart to match his size. Buddy is currently thriving in foster care at Tide Pool Pet Services, where he has been learning all kinds of great skills and showing everyone just how special he is. He has been successfully crate trained, is building wonderful manners, and has proven to be an easy and enjoyable companion to have around. Buddy is charming, sweet, and a total social butterfly, truly everybody’s best friend, with a waggy tail and a bubbly personality that brings a happy energy wherever he goes. He is dog neutral and people neutral, able to coexist calmly while still enjoying being part of the action, whether that is time spent outdoors, exploring, or simply relaxing with his people. Buddy is happiest when he can be near his humans and included in the day to day, and he has done especially well with the structure and routine he has been building in foster care. He will do best with an adopter who is excited to continue that routine and support his ongoing training so he can keep feeling his best. To help set him up for success, his foster team is offering one month of one-on-one training support for his adopter and will remain a resource along the way. If you are looking for a big, affectionate, well mannered companion and are ready to continue helping him thrive, Buddy may be your perfect match.

Story
Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VTGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: Yes, dog savvy catsGood with kids: Yes, dog savvy childrenCrate trained: YesHouse Trained: YesGeegi is a happy, fun-loving gentle giant with a heart of gold and a tongue that will leave a slobbery trail across your face before you even see it coming. She is a medium energy gal who loves a good romp in the yard or a walk where she can pick up sticks and leaves to carry along, and then she is more than happy to attempt to be a lap dog for the rest of the evening. She is looking for a home ready to embrace every goofy, lovable inch of her.Geegi adores other dogs and was an absolute rockstar fostering ten different puppies, letting them climb all over her, steal her toys, and cuddle up for naps. She does best with dogs who can hold their own, as she does not quite understand her size yet. She briefly encountered a cat and retreated respectfully when the cat set a boundary, so a dog-savvy cat could do well with her. She has been around kids ages seven and nine and done great with them, and would do best with dog-savvy kids who can give her a little extra space given her size and enthusiasm.Geegi is a sweet, social girl who settles into her crate throughout the day and overnight without any issues. She is fully house trained on a consistent daily routine. She is improving her leash manners and would benefit from a strong, confident handler who can help her stay focused when she spots a new friend she wants to say hello to.This giant goober deserves the whole world and will give you every slobbery, clumsy, hilarious bit of herself in return. Could Geegi be the one for you?Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line.

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.comMarch 11, 2026, 12:09 am

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.comMay 31, 2026, 9:29 pm
