Patrisha is a gentle, kid-friendly cuddle bug who loves to zoom around and relax even harder. Patrisha is a 1-year-old Hound/Labrador Retriever mix who’s equal parts playful and cuddly. She loves zooming around the backyard, then settling in for hours of couch snuggles with her people. She’s a gentle, sweet girl who’s great with kids. She has the quietest, but still charming, classic hound howl when she is excited to see you. She has been meeting new dogs and has done well with them. Patrisha is spayed. She is learning quickly as she works on leash skills. She already mastered sit and come. She is also crate and house trained. If you’re looking for a loving young dog who will grow with you—and happily share your couch—Patrisha could be your perfect match. If you are interested in adopting Patrisha, please submit an inquiry directly with Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet’s age. ***Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to meet/pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt.***  January 18, 2026, 1:33 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

Story
Chunky Monkey Sugar Drop  is a soft-hearted little girl puppy who came into the world on October 23, one of six puppies born to a devoted Lab mix mama and a sturdy Heeler dad. Her first days were spent tucked close to her family near a quiet country home, where kind people made sure her mother had food and shelter to safely raise her babies. It was a simple beginning, but one filled with care, warmth, and love. Now at just 11 weeks old, Sugar Drop is safe with Critter Cavalry and waiting for the family who will help shape her future. She already shows how deeply she connects with people, especially children, offering gentle play, sweet kisses, and a calm presence beyond her young age. She rides beautifully in the car and settles easily into arms when it’s time to rest. Sugar Drop is a snuggle girl at heart, tender and trusting, with a quiet hope in her eyes that asks only for kindness, guidance, and patience. She will grow into a lovely 70-pound girl with a pale yellow coat, white socks, and a freckled face that makes her impossible to forget. With gentle training, consistency, and love, she will blossom into a smart, devoted family companion. Sugar Drop will be ready to begin her new life on January 17th, and she is waiting for someone who wants to love her for a lifetime. If you feel called to be part of her journey, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at 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.comJanuary 20, 2026, 9:56 pm
