Story
Lil Kangaroo has a name that suites him to a T!  This little guy is tenacious in facing some hard things in life and we find him to be spunky and courageous  Adding to this courage, he is also a confident, intelligent boy that has endured the hard times when his human family could struggle no longer and keep him. He was reluctantly surrendered to our rescue.  What we have found is a wonderful dog and and we have delighted in see what a truly beloved boy he is.  This dog would fit in anywhere, anytime, anyway.  Lil Kangaroo is a 2 year old, 27 pound Jack Russell mix boy that is living in a foster home with two big foster fur brothers that don’t have anything ahead of Lil Klinger.   He can and does run with the best of them. He’s housetrained, loves car rides, happily accompanies his foster dad on his long walks and the active adventures his human dad loves to go on.  This boy, Kangaroo loves to explore and live life to the fullest with lots of new experiences. He embraces all the new things and enjoys playing with his toys and is ALWAYS ready for playtime.  If you are looking for a couch potatoe then Klinger would qualify only on short term moments.  He is a great and active breed that makes a wonderful family dog that you will spend time with and actively seek the exercise time that he needs.   He would be a wonderful dog for a  young family, young couple or a  young single person that is a runner, an explorer and a dog owner that might even want to do some agility activities together.  Of course Kangaroo is neutered , UTD on all vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm prevention with a clear fecal and wormings done. We admit, we are partial when it comes to Lil Kangaroo. He is one of the cuter and definitely the nicest small dog you could find or consider for your life partner. Don’t let this one get away!  If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and let’s start this ball rolling for his new forever committed home and family. 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 23, 2024, 9:08 am

Story
Male, approx. 14 years old, 20 lbs Personality: smart, brave, snuggler. Meet Rollin, a senior guy who had to be given up because his senior citizen owner could no longer care for him. We know, it's heartbreaking. I'm not crying, you're crying. Rollin is a gentle fellow who enjoys short walks and all the ear scratches available. A compliment to his age, Rollin is a smart, affectionate, and brave senior citizen who doesn't need a lot of exercise (a few relaxed walks per day will do) and is content with quality sniffing spots and a surprise treat... or two... or three. In fact, Rollin likes a bit of a food challenge and enjoys using a "snuffle" mat to make meal-time extra fun and enriching. A true Jack Russell mix, Rollin will not hesitate to let you know when he wants attention or thinks there is something to be worried about. With that said, he recently had his nails trimmed at the veterinarian and the staff said he was one of the best behaved boys they've ever had for nail trimming. Leave it to this senior guy to be a staff favorite. If you're looking for a dog-friendly dog, Rollin may be your "man"! He gets along well with the resident dogs (both large and small) in his foster home and walks nicely on a leash. To top it off, Rollin hasn't had any accidents and his foster trusts him outside of the crate. Rollin is advanced in years, and he wants nothing more than to become your affectionate, loyal, and charming companion. ________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application.

Story
Male, 7 years old, 16 lbs I'll be FRANK with you; this sweet gentleman is destined to be your new best friend. Frank is chill, quiet, and snuggly. Ready to slow down and sniff the roses, this pup is happy with a few leisurely strolls, a treat, and saying hello to new dog friends before settling down with the Sunday crosswoof puzzle. At seven years young, Frank is mature enough to politely greet humans and dogs, but still young enough to learn new skills. He's making great progress on housetraining and tested out of crate training by behaving perfectly when left alone in his foster's apartment. Frank understands the truly important things in life; he saves his energy to get excited for mealtimes and when you come home. He'll be perfect for a family with someone who works from home or can sneak in a walk with him at lunch time. If you're looking for a calm, gentle guy to enjoy the good life with and remind you to take it easy, then make an appointment today to hang out with Frank!

Story
We are looking for a new home for Blu. Due to military reserve obligations Blu is having to spend too much time inside and alone. Although she does have a dog door, our tiny yard does not give her the chance to run, play and exercise as much as she would like. She is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 42 lbs, is completely house broken, doesn't shed and is well socialized with people and other dogs. She has shown no aggressive tendencies and is very friendly. Blu has been has mainly been with adults but has also been exposed to children and was raised with 2 cats. She loves playing at the dog park where she has interacted well with many dogs and children. Blu is a very happy, sweet, enthusiastic and energetic dog who loves to cuddle. She does jump and is not great on a leash. Like so many people who have to give up their pet, we feel guilty but we know Blu would be happier with more human and animal contact and more room and time to run and play outdoors.

Story
Jackie is a loving Jack Russel mix that loves to play with toys, cuddle, and enjoy sniffing the outdoors until she`s memorized every scent. She is approx. 12 years old and love to run when possible and has plenty of energy to destroy any toy you give her. Jackie is able to vocalize when she needs to go to the bathroom and will give you a serious stare and bark to let you know. She deserves a backyard where she can roam and keep her mind busy while enjoying the outdoors. Keeping Jackie locked up in a cage can lead to high anxiety levels and we have to give her anxiety medication while we are at work. She loves to walk outdoors and is very playful. Jackie needs someone who is around allot and able to keep her anxiety levels to a minimum with a backyard available for her to tire herself out. Open your heart to Jackie.
