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.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
Location: Powhatan, VAMidnight is an 8-month-old Dane/Lab mix with a big heart to match his big paws. This handsome boy is the definition of goofy — he doesn’t quite realize how large he is and can be a little clumsy at times, which only adds to his charm. If you’re looking for a dog that will keep you laughing and fill your home with fun energy, Midnight is your guy. Midnight has been good with other dogs and absolutely loves to play. He would likely enjoy having a canine buddy to romp around with, or an active family that can help him burn off his puppy energy. As a young, growing pup, he will need continued basic obedience training, but he is eager to learn and very food motivated, which makes training a great bonding opportunity and sets him up for success. He is neutered, up to date on his rabies vaccination, and microchipped — ready to head straight into his forever home. With consistency, structure, and plenty of love, Midnight is going to grow into an amazing lifelong companion. If you’re ready for a big, lovable goofball who is still learning the ropes and excited to please, Midnight may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Location: Powhatan, VABrody is an 8-month-old Dane/Lab mix with a big personality and even bigger paws. This goofy boy has no idea how large he is, which makes for some clumsy, lovable moments that are sure to keep you smiling. He is full of playful energy and is always ready for a game, some yard time, or an adventure with his people. Brody has been good with other dogs and truly enjoys having playmates. He would do well in a home that can give him plenty of exercise and positive outlets for his energy. Like many young, playful pups, he can be mouthy when he gets excited and in a very playful mood. This is something that will need continued guidance and training to help him learn appropriate manners. He will also need basic obedience training, but the good news is that Brody is eager to learn and very food motivated, which makes training both effective and rewarding. With consistency, structure, and patience, he has all the potential to grow into a well-mannered and wonderful companion. If you are looking for a big, playful, and affectionate young dog to grow with your family, Brody may be the perfect fit.

We have fostered Ruby since September 2025 and unfortunately, my husband has health issues and we are unable to keep up with the energy that Ruby has as well as her size. She is a sweet dog and we are very sad to have to rehome her, but we know there’s a great family that is perfect for her out there! Please let us know if you are interested in adopting or just coming to meet Ruby
