Story
We are offering a most regal and unusual Norwegian Elkhound female, named Svart (meaning dark in color) but  we prefer to call her “Cleopatra”.  This gorgeous girl is the leader and Queen of them all.  Regal and fully confident, she is everything we know Cleopatra to have been back in her days of making history.  She is the epitome of the attitude and full reigning power in her breeding pack.  This 5 year old girl is gorgeous and is bigger than most, 65 pounds.  Undeniably in charge , Svart insists on being the only female in a family’s life.  She can live in peace with a submissive male as long as he knows his place.  She is fine with dogs outside the home but a living situation inside her family, she must the ONE in your life that garners all the affection and attention.  She is happy with all the humans she meets and she is part of a large pack of breeder dogs that her owner is asking Critter Cavalry Rescue to help place.  She is downsizing and getting out of the breeding business.   Our Svart AKA Cleopatra, needs a place of her own inside a home with her dog bed throne to await her.  If you are interested in this regal queen, please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com She is ready for YOU to walk her down the red carpet to her new home. 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.April 15, 2024, 7:15 pm

Story
Bjorn is the best boy!  He is a four year old pure bred Norwegian Elkhound who is a a big sweet baby boy. Bjorn likely weighs close to 70 pounds.  Bjorn has the best attitude and personality.  He has not had much of a start in life- living outside in a kennel and having just his basic needs met- somehow his personality has remained sunny. Norwegian Elkhounds are an old and rare breed- known for their intelligence, loyalty, independence and sensitive nature.  He has the happiest face and despite never being away from his home he shined through his photo shoot and gave us the biggest smile. Bjorn gets along well with his dog friends and kennel mates.  This boy is going to make some family very happy.  He is waiting on a better life, a life where he learns about soft beds, toys and treats and a family's special love.   If you are interested, please write and ask for an application to: ccrtennessee.  ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
