Story
  Meet Lady Anne, a stunning 4-year-old Great Pyrenees whose story is one of resilience, devotion, and unconditional love.   When it came time to give birth, Lady Anne did what any devoted mother would do—she searched for a place she believed would keep her babies safe. She chose a quiet spot beneath a shed, only for that refuge to become anything but safe. Thankfully, a compassionate neighbor recognized the danger and reached out for help. Critter Cavalry stepped in just in time, giving Lady Anne and her nine newborn puppies the second chance they so desperately needed.   Placed with an experienced foster family, Lady Anne slowly learned that she and her puppies were finally safe. At first, she was understandably protective, but with patience and kindness she allowed her foster family to help her. Beneath her thick coat were painful mats, ticks, and fleas, and she needed a gentle grooming and a trimmed belly so her puppies could nurse comfortably. Through it all, her only concern was her babies.   For seven weeks, Lady Anne rarely left their side. As the puppies grew, she would ask to step out of their pen, only to lie beside the fence, faithfully watching over them. Day and night, she stood guard, making sure every puppy was safe. Even after they were weaned, she continued her watch. It wasn't until each puppy had gone to a loving home and the pen stood empty that Lady Anne finally walked into the air-conditioned house, curled up, and truly rested.   Her watch was finally over.   But Great Pyrenees are born with a purpose, and Lady Anne simply found a new one. She now happily patrols the fence lines, checking on the livestock with quiet confidence before making her rounds to visit the very dogs she once chased away from her puppies. Today, they're all friends.   Lady Anne can be a little reserved when meeting new people, taking her time to decide who she can trust. Once she knows your intentions are kind, however, she gives you her whole heart. She'll greet you with joyful full-body wiggles, lean into your affection, and 'talk' to you in her soft, gentle Pyrenees whines that seem to say just how happy she is to be by your side. She is cat-friendly, easygoing, gentle, and deeply loyal—the kind of dog who doesn't just become a pet but a steadfast companion. Lady Anne has already proven what an incredible guardian she is. Now she's looking for a family of her own to love and protect.   If you give this remarkable girl a chance, she'll spend the rest of her life reminding you that some of the greatest hearts belong to those who have overcome the hardest beginnings.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue is you are interested in having this beauty as a part of your life.  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.comAugust 14, 2026, 4:54 pm

Story
Meet Bones!  Some dogs just need someone willing to see the world a little differently. Bones is one of those dogs. At just over a year old and around 80 pounds, Bones is a gorgeous Great Pyrenees/Heeler mix with a big heart, a joyful spirit, and a smile that lights up a room. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, on heartworm prevention, and ready to find the family he's been waiting for. Bones is deaf, but don't let that fool you—he is incredibly smart and highly trainable. He already knows hand signals for 'come' and 'sit' and has shown just how capable he is of learning. He loves people, thrives on interaction, and wakes up every day excited for whatever adventure comes next. Raised by an experienced rescuer, Bones has lived around multiple dogs and has zero history of aggression toward other dogs. He loves canine companionship and enjoys playtime with dogs of various sizes. Because he is a big, enthusiastic boy who doesn't always realize his own size and strength, very tiny or fragile dogs may not be the best fit simply because his play style can be exuberant. Bones has spent much of his life outdoors but is also comfortable spending time indoors when supervised. He adapts well and enjoys being part of the family. Because Bones is deaf, he cannot hear growls, hisses, or other warning signals from animals around him. Unfortunately, there have been incidents involving cats, and he should not be placed in a home with cats or other small animals. This is not a reflection of aggression, but it does mean he needs a home where everyone can be kept safe.  The decision to rehome Bones was made with tremendous love and care. He is not a problem dog. He is a special dog who deserves a home that understands his unique needs and appreciates everything that makes him wonderful. If you have a soft spot for dogs who are a little different, a little extraordinary, and completely deserving of a chance, Bones may be exactly the companion you've been looking for..Please email Critter Cavalry at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  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 14, 2026, 4:54 pm

Story
Emerald ('Emmy') – Small in Size, Legendary in SpiritSome puppies are born into loving homes with cozy beds waiting for them. Emerald's story began very differently. Before Emmy and her nine siblings ever took their first breath, their brave Great Pyrenees mama, Lady Anne, was wandering alone, heavily pregnant and searching for somewhere—anywhere—to safely have her babies. With nowhere else to turn, she dug a small den beneath a rental house and gave birth to ten beautiful puppies, protecting them with nothing more than her determination and a mother's love. For three days she cared for them completely on her own. No warm bed. No food bowl waiting for her. No one making sure she had fresh water. Just one devoted mama doing everything she could to keep her little family alive. When the puppies were finally discovered, help could have come too late. Instead, Critter Cavalry Rescue was called, and that single phone call changed everything. At only three days old, Lady Anne and all ten puppies were safely transported to an experienced foster home where they were finally surrounded by safety, good food, gentle hands, and lots of love. Mama raised her babies there for seven wonderful weeks before they were divided into smaller foster homes, where each puppy could receive the individual attention every growing pup deserves. One of those tiny miracles is our little Emerald...better known as Emmy. Don't let her size fool you—this girl may have been the runt of the litter, but she has absolutely no idea she's the smallest. Emmy lives life with fearless confidence, endless curiosity, and enough personality to keep everyone laughing. She is incredibly intelligent, wonderfully playful, and she loves to 'talk.' Whether she's announcing that it's playtime, asking for attention, or simply sharing her opinion, Emmy always has something to say. We sometimes joke that there must be a little Husky or Australian Shepherd somewhere in her family tree because she's just that expressive—but with dad being a mystery, we'll never know for sure. Despite being the smallest, Emmy keeps right up with the much larger dogs in her foster home and thinks nothing of joining every adventure. She also adores children and has formed a special bond with her foster family's 11-year-old. Confident, affectionate, mischievous, and incredibly entertaining, she's the kind of puppy who will make you laugh every single day.Emmy isn't just looking for a family—she's looking for people who will appreciate her zest for life, celebrate her spunky personality, and include her in all of life's adventures. In return, she'll fill your home with laughter, loyalty, and more love than you ever imagined could fit inside one little puppy. Emerald is currently in Nashville, Tennessee, and will be ready to transport north to her forever home beginning August 5th. If you think your family is ready to win an EMMY, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. We have a feeling this little star is destined to steal someone's heart forever.August 14, 2026, 4:54 pm
