Story
Frank was found in March 2024 with a huge abscess on his head when he was a puppy.  He had an orbital fracture. He then went back to his foster's house, after his head got better, and another dog attacked him.  All his wounds healed just fine.  He now weighs about 60 pounds. We believe he is a Great Dane mix. He’s very playful and loves to eat!! Frank is wonderful with people and great with other dogs.Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org October 4, 2026, 6:02 pm

IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. ***FOSTER TO ADOPT OPTION*** Meet Steve! - Steve is about 1 year old and weighs 58 lbs. We guess Steve is a Pitbull/Terrier Mix (Just a Guess as we have no idea on mom or dad). Steve is a happy, smart, playful and loving puppy. Steve already knows sit, lay down, shake, off, and back. He enjoys running and sniffing around the backyard and is also a big fan of squeaky toys. His favorite game is fetch. Steve is in a foster home with cats and does well with them. Steve follows his foster mom everywhere and is an expert at snuggling. Steve is house and crate trained. If you are looking for a happy go lucky addition to your family, Steve is your pup. Because he is a young dog, he will require an adopter who is home a good portion of the day to continue his/her training—no exceptions. Steve is neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. The Adoption Fee for this puppy $400.00. ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs and/or all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

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.comOctober 4, 2026, 11:25 am

Story
Big clumsy paws, legs that go on forever, and a heart twice my size—call me Cash! I’m a 1-year-old, 74-pound Great Dane mix with a ton of charm and zero spatial awareness. If you have a creek, pond, or kiddie pool nearby, consider me gone. I’ll spend hours wading up to my knees, chasing frogs, and blowing big, wet snort-bubbles through my nose! Back inside, I’m a designated couch potato, though I still have typical puppy chewing habits. Keep sturdy chew bones within reach and your sneakers will stay in one piece! My nose usually leads the way (which means my ears "conveniently" ignore my name outside), but I am remarkably gentle around little kids and love soaking up their cuddles. I make an unbeatable wrestling tag-team with my brother Duke and love having dog buddies to romp with, so a home with a secure fence where I can gallop would be a dream. I’m already neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated. Got a soft sofa with room for a gentle giant? Let's do this! ##2853217##

Story
Hi, I’m Duke. While my brother Cash is busy diving headfirst into muddy puddles, I tend to be the contemplative, regal member of our duo. At 80 pounds, I'm lean, athletic, and built for a proper sprint, but I balance that with quiet stoicism. You’ll often spot me stalking through tall grass like a sleek jungle cat or entertaining myself by playing solo fetch with rubber balls and stray walnuts! Still, don't let the noble posture fool you—I will happily melt into a goofy puddle the second belly scratches are offered. I take pride in listening well, but my gentleness with little ones is my favorite trait. I adore toddlers, delicately taking treats from tiny open palms and soaking up all their love. I'm also calm and respectful around cats—even the suspicious ones! I'm neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated. While Cash and I would be thrilled to share a big fenced yard together, I'm also more than ready to shine on my own. If an intelligent, soulful companion sounds like your match, I'm waiting! ##2853222##

Story
Meet George: A Survivor Ready for a Second Chance & Loves to Cuddle! George 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. Now that he is in a foster home he is settling in nicely, enjoys his mid-day dog walker and is completely trustworthy left out of a crate. He's ready to be a great addition to any family who's ready to love him. Update: Since being in his foster home, Sequoia, who now goes by George, has shown to be house broken, a couch potato, and knows some commands. This beautiful brindle boy loves sitting on the porch or going on walks and does great while wearing his Gentle Leader. He is very friendly to everyone he meets (old and young) and especially loves smelling leaves on trees or bushes. He is also a good car traveler. George would sit in your lap all day if you let him -- he is a huge cuddle bug and very loving Dane. 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
Meet Oso — A Big Sweet Boy Who Deserves a Second Chance Oso is a handsome male Anatolian Shepherd who has already shown us what a wonderful dog he can be. Neutered and currently weighing about 95 pounds, Oso is unfortunately very underweight and needs a family who will help him get healthy and back to his proper weight. Through no fault of his own, Oso was surrendered to a kill shelter. We suspect someone may have gotten this beautiful boy as a puppy and, once he grew into the large dog he was meant to become, decided they no longer wanted him. Whatever happened, Oso didn't ask to lose his home. Despite the upheaval in his life, Oso has remained sweet, cooperative, and remarkably good-natured. He's done well with people and has shown that he can be a wonderful companion. He's also okay with cats and appears to do well with female dogs. He isn't a fan of male dogs, so a home with a compatible female dog—or as the only dog—would likely be the best fit. Oso is a big dog with an even bigger heart, and he needs someone who understands large-breed dogs and appreciates what comes with sharing a home with an Anatolian Shepherd. He needs a person willing to give him time, patience, good food, and the opportunity to settle in and show just how special he really is. Right now, Oso needs more than just a place to live. He needs someone to believe in him. Someone who will look past the fact that he was abandoned and see the sweet, cooperative dog standing in front of them. Someone who will give him the chance to become healthy, happy, and secure again. Oso has already lost one home. Let's make sure his next one is forever. If you have experience with big-breed dogs and room in your heart for a gentle giant who deserves a second chance, please give Oso a chance to show you what a wonderful dog he can be.   Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $525.00   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.
