Story
Please contact Candace (ccrnewengland@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. Kind Kyber is such an appropriate description for one of the best Yellow Lab dogs that you could ever meet.   This 18 month old, 78 pound yellow lab mix is one of those dogs that you reminds of what Old Yeller was all about in the book and movie that cut through your soul when you heard the story.  Kyber is so kind and gentle and definitely a lover of all people he meets.  Kyber is one of those  victims of divorce.  He had nowhere to go and so a kind rescue woman took him in.  We have been searching and praying for a perfect home for a boy that loves his big Lamb Chop stuffie toy and carries it around like a prize.  He is fun, knows tricks and is light-hearted and a yellow ray of sunshine. He lived in the house and is housebroken and loves his car rides.  Want to have a hiking buddy?  He loves it and will be your best friend forever and a dog for 'all seasons' in life. Great with other dogs, children and of course all people.  He is the perfect Lab personality if you have been looking for a sweet Lab for a family with or without children.  Kindness counts!   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com     October 22, 2026, 7:04 pm

Betty White Sprinkle

Story
Betty White Sprinkles believes affection should be a full-body experience. A belly rub is lovely, a booty scratch is excellent, and if she can wiggle her way into a little more of either, she absolutely will. With her sweet cream-colored face and playful personality, Betty brings a little extra happy to the everyday. Go watch Betty on the Three Little Pitties Rescue YouTube channel to see her wiggles in action and meet the little lady who considers belly rubs a perfectly reasonable afternoon plan: https://youtu.be/W-k48Tn6ohk Betty is fostered in a loving home with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, where she gets plenty of practice being part of the crew. She has a fun, playful side and enjoys having friends to share it with. During her visit with us, dogs closer to her own size brought out her playful personality most easily. With bigger new friends, she took a little time to get acquainted, offering polite greetings and lovely dog manners along the way. People are another favorite. Betty may take a moment to get her bearings somewhere new, but affection is a very good introduction. Before long, she’s soaking up attention and rolling over to make sure everyone knows where the belly rubs go. She has also spent time around children and has been polite and playful with them—a sweet little companion for a family ready to enjoy her youthful energy. And there are brains behind that cute face! Betty already knows “sit,” and treats make an excellent case for learning something new. She would be such a fun girl to teach, whether you’re practicing everyday manners or adding a few tricks to her repertoire. Short training sessions, some playtime, and a good scratch afterward sound like a pretty satisfying schedule. She rides nicely in the car, too, so she’s happy to join you when the day’s plans involve going somewhere together. Betty could enjoy life with another compatible dog or as your one-and-only, with plenty of opportunities for play, learning, and attention. An apartment could also be a good fit with regular outings and room in your routine for an active young dog. When Betty met our house cat, she saw a potential playmate and enthusiastically tried to join the fun—including following him up onto a counter! Her invitation may be more than some cats want to accept. A feline home would need further consideration, and we can arrange an overnight with our Kitty Committee to learn more about how she settles around cats in a home setting. We estimate Betty is somewhere between six months and a year old, and our best breed guess is a Labrador Retriever mix. She has plenty of puppy-like enthusiasm, though we suspect she may be closer to her adult size than her baby face suggests. Her age, breed, and eventual size are all our best guesses—rescue likes to leave a little room for surprise. Betty has such a lovable combination of playful energy, a willing little brain, and a wholehearted appreciation for being loved on. She’s ready for someone to teach her a few things, take her along for the ride, and remember that a proper booty scratch should never be rushed. Ready to bring Betty home?

Story
As a rescue, We do not euthanize, but dogs that are listed as URGENT are still waiting to be saved from animal control and they do euthanise. We can only save them when space is available or we have a committed adopter. Puppies DO get euthanised regularly too. If looking a puppy please allow for age and weight increase if post is slightly older, as we have to manually update. Posting dates are on the listings. Hei Hei: Meet Hei Hei! This 6 month old, 32lb mix is all about his person! He will go wild trying to kiss you and get you to pay attention to him. He has a kennel friend that he loves to play out in the yard with and is super dog friendly. He is more submissive out of the two so he definitely knows how to take corrections around other dogs. He has pretty high energy and would do best with a little bit of manners training but overall he is a sweet boy who wants nothing more than to shower you with love!

Story
WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Batman! The Dark Knight with a BIG soft spot for people! Gotham City has a new hero, and he's looking for a family to call his own. Batman is a handsome 3-year-old, 50-pound Lab/Rottweiler mix with a sleek black coat, a confident strut, and a personality that's anything but mysterious. This boy doesn't need a Bat-Signal to find his people. He's ready to make friends with just about everyone he meets! Batman is super social, friendly, and absolutely loves people. Whether you're a longtime friend or someone he's meeting for the very first time, he's happy to say hello! He's the kind of guy who makes an impression wherever he goes, and with that handsome face, he's pretty hard to forget. And what's a superhero without a little adventure? Batman LOVES the water! Whether it's splashing around or cooling off on a warm day, he's ready to dive into the fun. He also walks well on a leash, so neighborhood strolls and outdoor adventures are right up his alley. When it comes to meeting other dogs, Batman can be a little confident and bossy at first, so thoughtful introductions and compatible canine friends will be important. Cats, on the other hand? Let's just say Batman has decided that some mysteries are best left unsolved. He's afraid of them, so a cat-free home would likely be the best fit. Batman is looking for a family who will appreciate his outgoing personality, include him in their adventures, and give him all the love a good boy deserves. He's got the charm, the confidence, and the heart to make a wonderful companion. You don't need to live in Gotham to adopt a superhero. You just need a little room on the couch and a whole lot of love to give! Apply to adopt Batman at haydudeequine.org!

I am a 4-month-old pup with a beautiful chocolate coat, a white chest, and matching white socks. I was rescued from a very tough situation in Guavate, Puerto Rico, alongside my 6 siblings. But guess what? The amazing team at Zani's Furry Friends stepped in to help me! Now, I am looking for a responsible forever family to give me the wonderful life I deserve. I am an absolute sweetheart—affectionate, playful, and completely ready to fill your life with love.
