Story
Meet Fancy Nancy, lovingly called Fancy! Fancy is a one year old Lab who came to us from a large scale breeding/hoarding case. Over 120 labs were removed from this property, and we were lucky enough to step in for this sweet girl who needed a safe landing place and a real chance at life. Fancy is heartworm negative and fully vetted. She is about 45 pounds fully grown, with a low to the ground, slightly stout build that only adds to her charm! Because of her past, Fancy craves human affection. While she is friendly with dogs, cats, and kids, she would choose her person every single time. She truly just wants to be close to you! Her foster family is working on crate training and helping her through some separation anxiety. Fancy is fully potty trained and non destructive in the home, but she does not enjoy confinement and would thrive with a patient family who is home more often than not and willing to continue her training with kindness and consistency. Fancy has already come so far! Now she just needs someone willing to give her the stability and love she never had!

Story
Meet Lucy, a stunning three year old Labrador Retriever and Shepherd mix who packs an absolute mountain of love into her compact, 43 pound frame. This affectionate girl lives for head pats, back scratches, and above all else, a good old fashioned belly rub! While she hasn’t shared her current foster home with children, she has shown a gentle nature and whenever she is out and about in public. Lucy is a dog of simple pleasures; her perfect day includes a burst of backyard zoomies, a scenic neighborhood walk, a session with her favorite squeaky toys, and wrapping it all up by cuddling close on the couch. Transitioning Lucy into her forever home will be a breeze, as she is already an expert house guest who is both fully house-trained and crate-trained. She currently lives in perfect harmony with a resident cat and other dogs, proving she can be a fantastic fit for a multi-pet household. When it comes to meeting new canine companions, Lucy just needs a little patience and a slow, careful introduction to help her feel secure. Once she knows she is safe, it doesn't take her long at all to let her guard down, initiate playtime, and become fast friends! If you are searching for a loyal, deeply affectionate companion to fill your life with pure joy, Lucy is ready to pack her bags and start her next great chapter with you. If you are interested in adopting Lucy, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
  My name is Misty and I am a very lucky 4 month old female Lab mix puppy who was rescued by a kind, young couple who found me and my 3 siblings running by a rural Tennessee backroad highway on April 28th.  We were starving and dirty and confused about being abandoned and in grave danger of being hit by cars passing by. We were scared at first but soon we realized that this man and woman meant no harm to us. Only good.  As you can see from my pictures, I am a pretty little girl with a lot of sweetness in my soul.  I am learning how to walk on a leash and how to be mannerly in the house with lots of patience from my rescuers.  Critter Cavalry Rescue has stepped up to vet us, spay and neuter us and to search high and low for great homes. I know that they find great families to raise the puppies they offer.  I am a very obedient and eager to please girl with lots of good puppy energy that is not frantic but a medium and natural energy that you expect from a puppy my age.  I am 23 pounds right now with a projected 50 pound adult weight when I am fully grown.  I love to sit on your lap and have you tell me how good of a puppy that I am and how much you love me.  I thrive on attention and soak it up like a dry sponge.  My black and white coat is shiny and getting more healthy everyday with the good food and vet care that is being given to me.  I am spayed as of 5/7 and I am getting all my shots done and microchipped too.  What I want most in this life is a good family that I can make laugh and feel happy that I am their special dog.  I would love a fenced yard or a family that will take me for long walks, dog parks or even jogs every now and again.  I would love children to play with and maybe even have them read to me.  I know I am lucky and blessed to have been picked up from harm's way and to have such a great opportunity to find a family that will never throw me away like I was as a young puppy.  Life is good and my future is bright.  Are you the someone special who can give me love and let me make you never regret that I am your forever companion in life?  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue and ask for an adoption application 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.comMay 19, 2026, 5:05 pm

Story
  My name is Ash and I am a very lucky 4 month old puppy who was rescued by a kind young couple who found me and my 3 siblings running by a rural Tennessee backroad highway on April 28th.  We were starving and dirty and confused about this abandoned situation that we were in.  We were scared at first but soon we realized that this man and woman meant no harm to us. Only good.  As you can see from my pictures, I am a pretty handsome boy with a lot of sweetness in my soul. My foster mom says that I am a puppy who wants to sit in your lap and get hugs and she thinks I would make a wonderful therapy dog.  My heart is in giving and getting love from people in the most gentle way.  Because of this I don't wander away from my people either.  I am learning how to walk on a leash and how to be mannerly in the house with lots of patience from my rescuers/fosters.  Critter Cavalry Rescue has stepped up to vet us, spay and neuter us and to search high and low for great homes. I know that they find great families to raise the puppies they offer.  I am a very obedient and eager to please boy that would make me easy to train and great with young children.  I have lots of good puppy energy and not frantic but a medium and natural energy that you expect from a puppy my age.  I am 24 pounds right now with a projected 50 pound adult weight when I am fully grown.  I love to sit on your lap and have you tell me how good of a puppy that I am and how much you love me.  I thrive on attention and soak it up like a dry sponge.  My red and white coat and freckled nose and sensitive eyes makes me a hard puppy to say NO to when I want to curl up in your lap.  I would love for you to hold me all day if you could.  Me and my siblings are getting good food and vet care right now and I am neutered as of 5/7 with all my shots done and microchipped too.  What I want most in this life is a good family that I can make laugh and feel happy that I am their special dog.  I would love a fenced yard or a family that will take me for long walks, dog parks or even jogs every now and again.  I would love children to play with and maybe even have them read to me.  I know I am lucky and blessed to have been picked up from harm's way and to have such a great opportunity to find a family that will never throw me away like I was as a young puppy.  Life is good and my future is bright.  Are you the someone special who can give me love and let me make you never regret that I am your forever companion in life?  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue and ask for an adoption application at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   May 19, 2026, 5:05 pm
