Story
Axel is a truly special dog with a heart full of love and loyalty.  Through no fault of his own, Axel found himself in a high-kill shelter after his previous owners wer e forced to move and couldn’t take him along. Axel is not only strikingly handsome but also uniquely charming   Highly intelligent, joyful, and full of energy, Axel thrives on playtime—he especially loves chasing tennis balls and playing games like hide-and-seek in the yard. He’s the kind of dog who will keep you laughing with his enthusiasm and cleverness.  He’ll sit between your legs while you prepare his meals, nudge you gently when he wants attention, and even remind you when it’s bedtime—curling up beside you if allowed.   Axel loves the outdoors and would do best with a securely fenced yard where he can explore freely. He prefers to be the only dog in the home as his previous owner stated that he is not used to living with other dogs, but his lively personality and deep affection more than make up for it—he’s all the dog you’ll need!    He’s fully house-trained, non-destructive when left alone, and always happy just being wherever you are.   Axel needs some work learning how to walk on leash without pulling but that’s true for most dogs who were never trained to walk on leash.  His foster mom and dad are working with him on this and he is enjoying the walks with them.   Axel is 5 years old and about 55 lbs.  He would do best in a home with older teenagers or adults as he is used to a lower traffic household.      Axel adapts quickly to new routines and will greet you every day with a wagging tail and a happy heart. His fosters are confident that Axel will bring warmth, laughter, and endless love to the right home. He’s just waiting for someone to give him that chance. If this special guy sounds like the right fit for you send us an email at almosthome4dogs@yahoo.com to inquire!

Story
Meet Freya, a stunning 4-year-old, 50-pound Norwegian Elkhound who embodies everything people love about this ancient and noble breed. With her soft coat, expressive eyes, and gentle spirit, Freya is one of those dogs who quietly wins your heart before you even realize it’s happening. She can be shy and a little nervous when meeting new people, but once she understands that you’re kind and safe, she opens up beautifully. Freya quickly becomes a devoted companion who wants to stay close, soak in affection, and share her sweet, loving nature. Those tender moments—when she melts into you after hearing she’s a “pretty girl”—are just priceless. Freya enjoys toys and balls, though she prefers her own style of play. Fetch isn’t her passion, but she loves batting her ball around, scooping it up, and prancing proudly with it. A securely fenced yard is ideal for her, giving her space to explore, run, and show off her adorable zoomies. Like many Elkhounds, she thrives in cooler weather and will happily go in and out of the door for fresh air as often as you’ll allow. This smart girl is both crate trained and potty trained. She absolutely loves spending time outdoors with her people and finds the world endlessly fascinating—especially birds, squirrels, and anything that moves just fast enough to keep her attention. She has seen a cat in her foster home and is quite intrigued and focused; we are happy to continue cat-testing for any adopter who needs clarity. Norwegian Elkhounds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, confidence, and strong bond with their families. Freya is a wonderful example of all these qualities and is ready to give her heart to someone who will appreciate her gentle soul and steady devotion. If Freya sounds like the companion you’ve been waiting for, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue 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.comNovember 26, 2025, 8:42 pm
