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.

Story

Winston was rescued as a puppy living life in a crate. He was brought home to relatives who are both wheelchair-bound. This puppy grew into a Great Dane, lol! Winston is currently more than his adult owners can physically keep up with. He is trained to an electronic collar so he can run around his country yard and play with the other dog from the house. He is good with kids and loves to sit on the couch like a human, with his front paws resting on the ground. He is a big happy gentle giant looking for a home that can help him expend his energy better. He is loves his toys and would especially love a person to play with him and a lap that he can sit on, lol! If you’re looking for a big gentle giant, please contact irondawgs13@gmail.com for adoption application.

Story

This boy was found twice as a stray and the owner never came back the second time to reclaim him. Ozzie is a very friendly dog and is great with everyone he's met. He is good with other dogs and loves to play. He's also good with cats. He is housetrained and crate trained and working on leash training. He is a big puppy so still has a lot to learn, but he would make a great addition to any home. We've had a DNA test done and the results are in. Ozzy's breeding is the following: 38% Great Dane, 28% Great Pyrenees, 10% American Bulldog, 6% Komondor, 4% American Foxhound, 3% Maremma Sheepdog, 3% American Pitbull Terrier, 2% Boxer, 2% American Staffordshire Terrier, 2% American Eskimo Dog, 1% Golden Retriever. Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.

Story

Meet Sequoia: A Survivor Ready for a Second Chance Sequoia didn't have the easiest start. Found as a stray, he was so hungry that he survived on anything he could find—even sauce packets (found in his stomach during his neuter). But those days of starvation are behind him. Though he’s still working on reaching his goal weight, his spirit is bigger than his frame. He is a social butterfly at doggy daycare and gets along great with non-dominant dogs. Because of his history, he’s currently a "student" in training, learning that he never has to worry about his next meal again. He’s looking for a patient family who will celebrate his progress and offer him the unconditional love he’s been searching for. Cats: Unknown Kids: 10+ Please include your home area code and a phone number where a volunteer can reach you when contacting us about an adoption.

Story

To learn more about Georgia, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Georgia will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Say hello to the sweetest peach, Georgia! This sweet young gal has made her way to us all the way from Russell County in search of a great forever home. What makes her special is her amazingly sweet disposition. Her favorite thing in the world is pets; she seeks them out all the time and would love nothing more than to be as close to her humans as possible. She is truly a total sweetheart and will reciprocate all the love she gets. New things are still a bit scary to Georgia as she warms up to the bustling Northern VA area, but she is settling in nicely and only takes a couple of days to feel safe after some quiet alone time and space. Decompression time will be key to her blossoming in her forever home. She has done well living with a foster doggy sibling for a short time and may benefit from a friend to show her the world isn’t so overwhelming. Overall, Georgia is a sweet young gal looking to discover herself in a safe, understanding forever home. If you have love for Georgia, don’t hesitate and adopt her today!
