Meet Cooper! He’s 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 you’re 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. He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever home of his own. 🐾

Coco is the sweetest girl! She is a 1 year old Great Dane who is slightly trained but will need a little more work. She is great around other dogs and older children.

Meet Gunner – A BIG Boy with an Even BIGGER Heart! 🐻🧡 This handsome young guy is already a BIG boy, and he's still growing!

  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.comOctober 24, 2026, 5:02 pm

🤎🐾 MEET LULU — 61 LBS OF BRINDLE BEAUTY, ZOOMIES & UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! 🐾🤎 ✨ Big girl. Bigger heart. Absolutely NO idea how big she is! 😂💕 Meet Lulu, a gorgeous 10–12-month-old brindle girl who we believe may be a Boxer/Great Dane mix, although her exact breed is unknown. At 61 lbs, she's already a big, beautiful girl and we believe she's close to her full-grown size. But here's the thing about Lulu… she thinks she's about 10 pounds! 🤣 💔 FROM SURVIVAL TO SECOND CHANCES Lulu and her brother, Canelo, were found wandering the streets near the Texas/Mexico border. They were painfully skinny, hungry, and covered in fleas and ticks. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan couldn't stand to see them suffer and stepped in to help. Today, Lulu and Canelo are safe at a sanctuary in South Texas, and our rescue is stepping up to help find them the loving forever homes they deserve. ❤️ Now it's Lulu's turn to find her people! 🐕 SHE LOVES OTHER DOGS! Lulu absolutely LOVES her canine friends and would do best in a home with another friendly, playful dog. She's an active girl who thrives on having a buddy to run, play, and share adventures with. And when we say run, we mean RUN! 😂 🏃‍♀️ Run around the property. 🐎 Gallop like a little horse. 💨 Get the cutest zoomies imaginable. 🔄 Do a few more laps for good measure! Lulu has energy to spare and is always ready for another round of fun. One of her favorite playmates at the sanctuary is a 30-pound dog. Lulu will come charging over, ready to play, only for her smaller friend to stop her in her tracks. And what does Lulu do? She rolls straight onto her back and shows her belly! 🥹 Despite her size, Lulu is incredibly submissive, gentle, and sweet with her dog friends. She has such a soft heart and a wonderfully goofy personality. 💕 A GENTLE GIANT WITH A LOT OF LOVE TO GIVE Lulu is the kind of dog who could make a wonderful companion for the right family. With her gentle nature, she may even have the potential to become a therapy dog with appropriate training, exercise, and assessment. She does need some continued training, though! Lulu sometimes jumps up on people because she's excited and doesn't realize just how BIG she is. Basic manners and polite greetings will be important for this lovable giant. 🍗 A LITTLE FOODIE WITH A BIG APPETITE! Lulu loves her food… perhaps a little TOO much! 😂 She eats from a slow feeder to help slow things down, and she may be tempted to investigate anything left on the counter. Counter-surfing could become her next hobby if her humans aren't careful! She'll need a family willing to manage food safely, maintain a consistent feeding routine, and continue teaching her those all-important manners. 🏡 THE GOOD NEWS? SHE'S ALREADY HOUSE-TRAINED AND CRATE-TRAINED! That's right! Lulu has a wonderful head start on settling into family life. 🐱 She's seen cats from a distance but hasn't met them up close. Given her sweet, gentle personality, we think she may do well with cats, but a careful introduction and proper supervision would be essential. 💦 She LOVES hopping around in the doggy pool to cool off before heading straight back to her favorite activity… Galloping around! 🛋️ And after all that running? Lulu believes she deserves a spot on the couch, preferably snuggled right up against her humans. In her mind, she's still a tiny lap dog. Who are we to argue? 🤎 🌟 LULU'S DREAM FOREVER HOME We're looking for a family who will: • 🐕 Have another friendly, playful dog for her to enjoy. • 🏃‍♀️ Provide plenty of exercise, running, adventures, and opportunities to burn off her energy. • 🎓 Continue her training and help her learn good manners. • 🍽️ Manage her food and help her develop better mealtime habits. • ❤️ Understand that beneath her big body is a gentle, goofy, affectionate girl. • 🛋️ Make room on the couch for a 61-pound cuddle bug who thinks she's pocket-sized! Lulu has already experienced hunger, hardship, and life on the streets. Now she deserves a life filled with full food bowls, fun adventures, canine friendships, cozy naps, and a family who will love her for the rest of her life. She's goofy. She's gorgeous. She's gentle. She's a little bit of a handful in the most lovable way. And she's ready for her happily ever after. 🥹🤎 Could Lulu be the missing piece of your family?
