🐾 Meet Eleanor – Your Gentle Giant in the Making! 🖤 Eleanor is a 5-month-old purebred Great Dane who is already stealing hearts everywhere she goes! This sweet girl is the perfect mix of gentle, playful, and full of personality—a true puppy with a loving soul. Despite her young age, Eleanor is already a superstar: ✔️ Crate trained ✔️ Potty trained ✔️ Walks nicely on a leash ✔️ Knows how to sit Eleanor is incredibly social and loves everyone she meets—dogs, kids, cats… you name it! She’s happiest when she’s playing with toys, romping with friends, or soaking up attention from her people. She’s also calm in the car, making her a great companion for outings (especially if they include the occasional pup cup 🐶🍦). As a growing Great Dane, Eleanor will need a family committed to helping her continue learning and thriving as she grows into her big, beautiful self. She’ll do best in a home ready for a large breed dog with an even bigger heart. 📍 Fostered in Huntsville, AL ✔️ Up to date on all vetting Eleanor is ready to bring love, laughter, and a whole lot of puppy joy into her forever home. 💕 👉 Apply to adopt at FORrescue.net #FORrescue #FriendsofRescue #AdoptEleanor #GreatDanePuppy #GentleGiant #RescuePuppy #HuntsvilleAL #PuppyLove #AdoptDontShop #BigDogEnergy

Story
When we first got copper we had 56 acres. Do to military orders I now live in Virginia Beach in an RV. He's been great in the camper but its not place for a giant breed. Hes a great dog, he's very loving, housebroken and listens well. He's been around other dogs and cats and is fine with both. I really dont want to rehome him but its whats best for him. He needs room and space to play.

Story
  Meet Roo (a.k.a. RooBear, Rooski Bruski, or Roo Roo!) 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.comApril 5, 2026, 9:29 pm
