Story
This is Cooper, he is a very sweet and loving dog. He is a rescue that we adopted 7 years ago. He had some quirks as any rescue does. He doesn’t like to be in a crate or closed room, really doesn’t like water, and will go bonkers during a thunderstorm. While he has been a great dog, we have also seen another side of him that makes us nervous. Enough to be looking at rehoming him. He has attacked our other dog on multiple occasions, usually over food or toys. This has been kept at bay by being very cautious. However with our two year old son being more excited to play with cooper. We don’t feel that our son is safe around cooper, since we can’t predict what might annoy him enough to bite. Cooper needs a home with no other pets and no children. Please reach out with questions. This was a really hard decision but we feel that is best for the safety of our son.

Story
Meet Charlie – A Gentle Soul Seeking Safety & Serenity Charlie is a soft-eyed, sensitive pup who’s looking for something rare and special – a quiet, laid-back home where he can simply be. At his core, Charlie is a dog who finds peace in the presence of other dogs, not people. He doesn’t crave snuggles or attention. In fact, humans make him very nervous. What he does need is patience, understanding, and the freedom to come around on his own terms. Charlie’s ideal home includes: Another calm, confident dog to show him the ropes No children – he needs a kid-free space A fully fenced yard with a doggy door, so he can come and go without pressure Outdoor and indoor shelter options – think cozy doghouses or crates where he can retreat and feel safe He’s not going to be your couch cuddle buddy or your shadow around the house. But if you’re the kind of person who respects space, moves slowly, and believes that trust is earned – Charlie might just be your heart dog. He may never be the life of the party, but he deserves a home that honors who he is – not who he’s expected to be. Could you be the calm in Charlie’s world? #AdoptCharlie #SafeSpaceNeeded #NotEveryDogWantsToSnuggle #RespectAndPatience   —————————————————————————————————————- A Note from Charlie Hi there. I’m Charlie. I’m not like most dogs you’ll read about. I’m not going to greet you at the door with tail wags or crawl into your lap for snuggles. Honestly? People make me really nervous. I’ve learned to keep my distance because it’s the only way I know how to feel safe. But I do like other dogs. They help me feel a little braver, a little more at ease. So if you’ve got a calm, confident pup already, that would really help me settle in. I’m looking for a very quiet, laid-back home with no kids and no chaos. I need someone patient—someone who will let me do my thing and not expect too much. I probably won’t come running when you call, and I might not even want to be touched for a while… or ever. I just need the space to exist without pressure. A fenced yard with a doggy door would be perfect. That way I can come and go as I please. If you could set up a comfy little shelter inside and maybe another outside, that would make me feel even safer. I like to have options. I know I’m not what most people are looking for. I’m not a cuddler or a best friend—at least not yet. But if you’re the kind of person who understands that dogs like me exist… who doesn’t need constant affection… and who believes that trust should never be rushed—then maybe you’re my kind of human. And maybe, just maybe, I could learn to trust you in time. —Charlie #AdoptCharlie #SafeSpacesOnly #TrustTakesTime #LoveMeAsIAm If you are interested in Charlie, please complete an adoption application at lastdaydogs.comJune 16, 2025, 8:54 am

Story
    Spenser is currently in boarding and needs a foster or adopter so that we can learn more about him.  He would do best in a home with no other animals and a large fenced yard to “zoom” around.  He is approximately 49 lbs.   At 1 year old, he has a lot of energy but we have training lined up for him if we can find someone to commit to fostering him and working on new skills with him and his trainer while he's in foster care.    We don’t want Spencer to fall by the wayside! We know he’s a good boy. If you have time to learn about and love on Spencer, please complete an application at lastdaydogs.comOctober 8, 2025, 11:11 am

Story
  Meet Isaac – A Loyal, Lovable Lab Mix Looking for His Forever Adventure!   If you're looking for a best friend with a heart of gold, a playful spirit, and soulful eyes that say 'I’m ready to love you forever', then say hello to Isaac – the sweet and handsome black Lab mix who’s ready to start the next chapter of his life with YOU.   Isaac’s story began in a small-town litter of five puppies, where resources were few and adoption opportunities even fewer. Lucky for him, a kind senior gentleman saw something special in young Isaac and brought him home. But as Isaac grew into his playful, energetic self, it became clear that raising a rambunctious puppy wasn’t the right fit. With love and honesty, his adopter returned him—still believing Isaac deserved the best life possible.   Now 7 months old and 40 pounds of happy energy, Isaac has been given a fresh start through a dedicated rescue network—and he’s thriving! He’s already neutered, fully vetted, and well on his way to being housebroken (no more tiny puppy chaos!). Best of all, he’s past the intense chewing phase and settling into his more mature, eager-to-please self.   Friendly, affectionate, and people-focused Great older puppy energy—playful but manageable Would thrive with a fenced yard or active lifestyle‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Loves to run, play, and stay active with his people Smart, alert, and ready to learn House training head start - doing great! Fully vetted, neutered, and healthy   Isaac greets everyone with a tail wag and a joyful presence. His kind face is full of hope, his spirit is loyal and loving, and his mission is simple: find a forever family who will treasure him just as much as he treasures them.   Whether you’re an active single looking for a trail buddy or a family searching for a loving companion to grow up alongside your kids, Isaac is ready to give you his heart—and maybe a few goofy zoomies, too.    To adopt this wonderful boy, email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and give Isaac the home he’s been waiting for.   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.comJuly 5, 2025, 1:19 pm

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
  Meet Beauregard (Beau ) &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Some dogs are born with a purpose, but they never get the chance to discover it until someone believes in them. Beauregard is one of those dogs.   This Lab/Hound mix boy was found abandoned on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Middle Tennessee—hungry, covered in fleas and ticks, scarred from hardship, and too terrified to accept a gentle human touch. He had all but given up on life, surviving only on scraps of food and little more. Beau's story didn’t end there. Caring rescuers saw beyond his broken, skinny body and haunting eyes. With Critter Cavalry Rescue’s help, Beau was trapped, treated by a vet and given the first real chance of a good and loving future in his young life. Less than a year old and painfully thin,  Beau has since grown into a healthy, strong 75-pound boy with a heart that’s slowly learning how to trust and love again.   His foster mom, Cissy, describes his journey best:  “When Beau first arrived, he wouldn’t come out of his doghouse or look at me. But little by little, food, fresh water, and the happy barks of my other dogs began to chip away at his fear. The first time he took a treat from my hand, I knew he was beginning to understand love. Now Beau is part of our pack—he follows me around the farm, plays with the other dogs, and even helps encourage new rescues to run and play, just as others once taught him. He still has moments of fear with new people or the leash, but his confidence grows every single day. Watching him blossom has been nothing short of amazing.”    Beauregard’s scars—both inside and out—are healing, and his purpose is becoming clear that he is going to be a loyal, loving companion. He’s looking for a home with a kind, but confident leader who can continue guiding him on this journey of love and trust.. With patience, consistency, and love, Beau will give back tenfold—his big heart and beautiful soul are simply waiting for the right family to share them with.&#226&#156&#168 Beau is more than a survivor—he’s a testament to resilience, hope, and the healing power of love. Could you be the one to give him the forever home he’s been waiting for?  please email asking for more information or an adoption form to ccrnewengland@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.comOctober 2, 2025, 1:51 pm
