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
  Once upon a time there was a special family of Lab puppies born on July 4th to a momma who is a Chocolate Lab and dad is an Australian Shepherd.   The puppies and Momma were not cared for very well and the family was on hard times and really not able to feed the pups and momma what they needed daily. People next door noticed and contacted Critter Cavalry Rescue.  We gladly stepped forward and took the little family and their momma and have been looking for homes that are Lab loving people who have fenced yards and experience with the wonderful energy and temperament of the breed.   Sweet Brewster is just A doll baby that is wonderful with cats, dogs, young children and adults.   He is a bit shy at first but warms quickly.  His limited social experiences are expanding Every day with his foster family, but he is not a bold nor alpha personality. Just a curious little guy who will grown to be 50 pounds as an adult who will be easy To love and easy to train.  He is learning his crate skills and he is OK on a leash right now.  His foster family fosters several dogs for CCR and they are focusing on Potty training (coming along great) and just teaching him a schedule and boundaries.  Brewster has a gleam in his eye when you tell him sweet things that let him Know that you are proud of him and that he is loved.  Positive reinforcement is what he craves and responds to with great results.  You cannot go wrong with a Brewster pup to love.  If you are interested in knowing more please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com  Please tell us where you live!!!  City and state.   We transport out of Tennessee where we are based and we travel up the northeastern corridor allowing our dogs and cats to reach families in 12 others states.   Brewster is ready to help you start your New Year off RIGHT!!!!  PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meetingplaces 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 26, 2025, 7:01 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
This amazing puppy that has the beautiful golden smile and coat of a golden color as well, is called Gabriel.  Living his first 4 months of life in a 10X 10 outdoor kennel with his other 6 siblings, this boy never has had a chance to run and play and be loved on until August 15th.  The day his life changed and that of his 6 siblings, will be a special one for Critter Cavalry Rescue.   Their hard and cruel past is behind them and now a bright and shiny future is promised them as CCR starts posting all the wonderful girls and boys that are from that litter.  They are loving, some shyer than others, but all are hungry to be cuddled, played with and offered the chance to love their humans deeply and forever.   Having a yard to run and play in has been a first ever since 8/15.  Can you imagine the freedom and exhilaration that our boy Gabriel has been feeling?  He has a little foster girl to kiss and play with and other dogs and even some chickens in the backyard.  He has been neutered and shots started and dewormings under way.  The road ahead will be a breeze compared to his first 4 months.  Currently he weighs 25 pounds and is destined to be a 55 pound adult lovebug.  If you love his smile then you will love his heart even more.  Friendly and learning all the new things about this wonderful world of good food, a dog bed, chew toys and above all, humans who care about him.  What more could make a puppy happier?  Well all that is left to top these great changes is to have a family adopt him!!!!   Could that be you!?  Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  We adopt locally in Nashville, TN area where he is fostered and we also offer transportation to the northeast to families and homes that want to give our dogs and cats a better life.  Just let us know where you live!  We can get our boy there and close! PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.August 28, 2025, 12:33 pm
