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. 2/11/26 Wrigley is new to rescue, but this sweet boy has seen things in his life. He has a quiet, calm energy, and despite being abandoned by his owners, he is trusting and loving with all people. He does very well with other calm dogs. He does not enjoy high energy dogs. He is not a fan of cats either. But he is a HUGE fan of all humans! He is the perfect companion. If you want a dog who will lay around and watch TV and cuddle. He is so affectionate and sweet natured. He was found on the streets just before the ice storm, and thankfully was taken in by a good Samaritan who kept him safe and warm during the brutally cold temps, but they could not keep him long term. He is about 2 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. He just started at the Paws in Prison program where he will be paired with inmate trainers who will work with him on basic commands, house training, and maybe a few tricks! When he graduates he will have all of the skills needed to pass the Canine Good Citizen test. This is an 8 week program and we hope to have an adopter ready and waiting for Wrigley when he graduates! He is neutered, UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.    Wrigley 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 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.

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. 2/11/26 This big, beautiful girl is a gem. She is just turning a year old and is already over 70 lbs. She is not very tall, but has a very heavy build, and will probably still grow some more. Celeste comes to us as an owner surrender. She is a good girl who gets along well with other dogs, and loves kids. We enrolled her at Paws in Prison this week, so more info to come, but keep your eye on her if you are looking for an extra large breed! At the Paws in Prison program she will be paired with inmate trainers who will work with her on basic commands, house training, and maybe a few tricks! When she graduates she will have all of the skills needed to pass the Canine Good Citizen test.

Story
Mishka deserves a beautiful life ahead of her.  She is an elegant and kind Lab mix girl that gave birth to puppies sometime in early December and found herself in a barn trying to save her puppies from harm.  Just after the ice age storm in Nashville, TN she was discovered in the barn with no food and no water.  The puppies and Momma Mishka were in rough shape.  Soon the tables turned and Mishka and all 4 puppies were taken in by Critter Cavalry and given the necessary food, vaccines, medical care and Momma is getting spay on 2/20.  What we have found in Mishka is a gentle sweetness that makes you want to protect her and promise her a steady love for all the years ahead.  She has been a dog that at 80 pounds, is just fluid in her movements and her ability to flow in a living environment that  her foster mom says is remarkable since her past is so sketchy.  We think she has been the survivor dog that has not let life beat her down.  Mishka is 18 months old and 80 pounds.  She has lived inside at one time.  We just don't know where and for how long.  She has 4 gorgeous puppies that will be good canine citizens in the future as they grow to be like their special mom.  Mishka is housebroken, good in a crate for a time and she is looking to be someone's bright star called Venus.  The star of love and devotion.  Please let Critter Cavalry Rescue know if you are interested by emailing them at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   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.comFebruary 11, 2026, 11:18 am

Story
Bruno is a loving, friendly, and energetic dog. We've had him since he was 11 weeks old, and he'll be 8 years old in February 2026. Once he meets someone, they are his best friend for life. We are looking for a family who will take him on daily walks and provide ample time for socializing with humans and/or other dogs. We have to re-home him because a family member who is moving in with us is allergic.

Story
This cutie is Snowball. He is currently 1 month old. We think they may be a lab/bully mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Snowball’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/CclaNxZZCuM?si=dPBaNvxFXypMgfIz Snowball is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. He loves to play with his siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Snowball is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

We proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process. At our 2-acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth, and we enjoy seeing their progress! We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test or $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30-day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions Access to multiple dog trainers in your area, along with $40 off of your first session of in person dog training through Rover Training 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!
