Story
  Meet Archie Doo, the sweet, scruffy, and oh-so-smart 1-year-old Labradoodle who’s ready to leave his tough past behind and step into the wonderful life he’s always deserved. Archie weighs 44 pounds, has the softest curls, and is brimming with personality once he feels safe and understood.   Archie came to us in October after living in heartbreaking conditions—long days in a crate far too small, barely any food, and almost no real interaction or exercise. Being abandoned left some marks on his heart, but this boy is resilient. With the help of gentle medication, structure, and a foster mom who’s giving him all the right leadership and love, Archie is discovering what it means to be cared for.   Now he’s ready for a family who can help him continue to grow.Archie needs a home where:   crate time is minimal there’s a fenced yard to run and play people are around often and can reassure him he’s not alone training, consistency, and patience are part of everyday life   Archie loves other dogs—especially ones close to his size—and would enjoy having a canine buddy to wrestle and play with. He’s a total snuggle bug and will gladly curl up beside you on the couch, soaking up every minute of affection. And when it’s playtime? This boy is ALL IN. Balls, frisbees, stuffed toys—you name it, he plays with pure joy.   Because of his past, crating while his person is home can still be hard for him, though he does settle down nicely when crated while you’re away. With time, patience, and positive reinforcement, he’s already improving and will continue to grow more confident.   Archie is smart—classic doodle intelligence—and knows several basic commands. But he’s also still got that goofy, energetic puppy spirit, so he’ll thrive with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a predictable routine. Long walks, yard time, and active engagement will be key to helping him feel grounded and fulfilled.   The perfect match for Archie?Someone who wants a loyal companion by their side. Someone with time, structure, and a big heart. Retired folks, work-from-home families, or anyone looking for a buddy to share their days with would be a dream come true for him.   Archie Doo has already come so far, and everyone who has helped him believes deeply in his incredible potential. He just needs the right person or family to help him continue the journey.   If you would like to foster or adopt this special boy, please reach out to ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Archie is ready for his happily-ever-after—and he hopes you’re part of it.   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.comDecember 6, 2025, 3:35 pm

Story
  Puppies like Blaze remind us why rescue work matters so much. While some litters are born into comfort and care, Blaze and his siblings have been surviving in conditions too heartbreaking to fully describe. At only 4 months old and 18 pounds, this Black Lab mix has lived his entire young life in an unclean outdoor pen—never knowing warmth, play, or even basic comfort. But the moment he entered foster care, Blaze’s light started to shine. His first real bath, which he adored, washed away more than dirt—it washed away the feeling that this was all life would ever be. He received his first vaccine, began deworming, and for the first time, got to chew on a real toy and rest somewhere safe. His short video shows a puppy discovering happiness in real time. Blaze is a blank slate in the best possible way: open-hearted, eager to learn, and so ready to belong to someone. He will be neutered on 11/17 and then he’ll be ready to finally have the life every puppy deserves—a home full of kindness, routine, and people who treat him like family. His foster mom says all four puppies are incredibly sweet despite their rough beginning. Blaze was the first one we could save because we simply don’t have fosters yet for the others. Adopting him doesn’t just change his life—your choice creates room and hope for the next little one waiting in that pen. Blaze is ready to be someone’s heart dog. He is ready to sleep indoors, to trust people, to explore, to make friends, to grow up safe. Most of all, he is ready to feel loved. If you feel pulled to be the person who gives Blazd his new beginning, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue atccrtennessee@gmail.com or text/call 615-661-5333. Blaze is waiting for the miracle that looks like you. 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.comDecember 6, 2025, 3:35 pm

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 12/5/25 Tux and his sister, Panda, were rescued as young babies who were living under a vacant house. They were in very bad shape when rescued, but they are doing great now! They were just very malnourished, but they have more than made up for it! They've been in rescue for a few weeks now, and they are currently about 3 1/2-4 months old. Tux is the outgoing one. He is Mr. Personality! He is very friendly right from the start- he never meets a stranger and he loves them all! He is extremely sweet and loving, as well as playful. He will likely be around 60 lbs once grown, based on his current size. We don't know his breed, he is just a mix of probably many different breeds, but i believe theres some lab in there. He is ready to find a home and is dreaming of spending his first Christmas with a family of his own! More photos coming soon! He is neutered, microchipped, UTD on vaccines, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.  Tux is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

They've been in rescue for a few weeks now, and they are currently about 3 1/2-4 months old. Panda is the shy one.

Panda will likely be around 60 lbs once grown, based on her current size. We don't know her breed, she is just a mix of probably many different breeds, but she has a very beautiful coat and is stunning with all her polka dots.

Story
Niamh (pronounced Neev) is a three year old Black lab female who is a wonderful girl who is deeply loved. Unfortunately, she and one of other dogs can’t get along. After several fights, we have realized they can’t live together without sacrificing quality of life. Niamh has never had an issue with any other dogs and our yellow lab boy is her best friend. Since we do not know for certain if she will fight with other dogs, we prefer she be the only dog in the home. She hasnt been tested around cats but my gut says not a good idea. Niamh is an absolutely delightful girl, one on one. She needs an active family and loves hiking, camping and splashing in water. Shes smart and affectionate. Shes a great example of a Labrador. Only issue is the fighting with the other female dog in the home. Shes great with kids but hasnt really been around babies/toddlers. I cant imagine she would have any issues. Niamh is a sweetie and we are heartbroken at the idea of letting her go but know its right
