Story
Frank has been through more than most dogs ever should—but you would never know it from his happy, loving personality. Frank was found as a puppy in March 2024 with a huge abscess on his head and an orbital fracture. After receiving the medical care he needed, he returned to his foster home to recover. Unfortunately, Frank’s bad luck continued when he was attacked by another dog. Once again, he healed beautifully, proving just how resilient this sweet boy is. Today, Frank is a big, handsome boy weighing around 60 pounds.  Despite his size, Frank is a gentle, good-natured guy with an absolutely wonderful personality. Frank is playful, affectionate, calm, and incredibly sweet. He loves people and is great with other dogs. He’s also housetrained, making him an easy and enjoyable companion. Frank is ready for the forever home he has been waiting for. Could that be you? 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 November 7, 2026, 3:14 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.comNovember 7, 2026, 7:50 am

Hey there, I’m Curly! I’m a handsome 1-year-old brindle Great Dane weighing right around 80 pounds. Back in early October, a hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were very thin and dehydrated. Thankfully, we’ve been on a good feeding schedule ever since and have already put on 10 to 15 pounds! Everyone here says I am a total sweetheart. I'm super gentle with people, take treats nicely from your hand, and walk really well on a leash! I’m currently working on my housetraining, and since I love snacks so much, I'm a big fan of training time. I also get along great with other dogs! Even though I'm a big boy who likes to get vocal and chatty while playing, I'm actually very gentle with my dog friends. I am all set on my vet care, too! I’m neutered, microchipped, caught up on all my vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm and tick diseases. I would love nothing more than a cozy home and a family to call my own. Come say hi to me soon! ##2884414##

Story
My name is Larry, and I’m a 1-year-old tan Great Dane weighing around 75 pounds! Earlier this month, a kind hunter found my brother and me out in the woods when we were severely underweight and dehydrated. Since then, we’ve been on a steady feeding schedule and have already gained a healthy 10 to 15 pounds! Even after a rough start, I am the sweetest, most gentle big guy. I walk nicely on a leash, take treats very softly from your hand, and love playing with other dogs! I can get pretty vocal when I play, and I also like to do some goofy mouth play, though I’m always gentle and never put any pressure down. Because I don’t quite realize how big I am yet, I’m currently learning not to jump up when I get excited, and I'm also working on my housetraining (luckily, I'm super treat-motivated!). One funny thing to know about me is that when my brother and I were put in separate outdoor runs after getting neutered, I got bored and showed everyone I can climb a fence!  I’m neutered, microchipped, up to date on my shots.  I’m so ready to trade my days in the woods for a soft bed and a loving family. Come meet me soon! ##2884407##

Micah – Ready for Her Second Chance Hi, I’m Micah! Not long ago, I was sitting in a DC shelter with only two days left before I was scheduled to be euthanized. Thankfully, Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team stepped in and gave me the second chance I desperately needed. Now I’m settling into my foster home and learning what it feels like to be safe and loved. ❤️ I’m a young, energetic girl with plenty of puppy spirit! I love to run, play, explore, and chew on my toys. I can still get a little mouthy when I’m excited, but I mean absolutely no harm. I’m just learning my puppy manners. New people can make me nervous at first, and when I’m unsure, I may become a little defensive. Please give me some time and patience to realize you’re my friend. Once I feel comfortable, you’ll get to see more of the fun girl underneath. I do great with other dogs after a proper introduction and a little time to get comfortable. I’m also curious about cats and haven’t shown aggression toward them. I’m already a champ in my crate, and my foster family has taught me to sit, although sometimes I like to pretend I’ve never heard that word before. I’m doing really well with house training too. I’m not 100% there yet, but accidents inside are rare. A fenced yard would be wonderful for me because I absolutely love running around and burning off all that young-dog energy. I’ve already come so far, but I’m still learning. My perfect family will understand that I need patience, consistency, plenty of toys to chew, and continued training as I grow. I came within two days of never getting this chance. Now all I need is someone who will make my second chance last forever. Could that be you? ❤️ 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.

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. He walks wonderfully on a leash and has good house manners. 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.
