Story
Dixie is a sweet, almost 10-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/hound mix with wonderful manners and a calm, people-loving temperament. She's fully potty trained, knows all her basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, come, and more), and enjoys nothing more than being close to her family. Her favorite things include gentle attention, exploring outdoors, and soaking up the sunshine. She gets along well with other dogs and cats in the home, though she isn't especially playful with them and prefers human companionship. Dixie is active and happy to go for walks or runs, spend time in a fenced yard, or relax outside, but she'll always choose being indoors with her people when they're home. She maintains a healthy 55 lbs and eats standard dry food at her own pace. Dixie is up to date on all care, including her rabies vaccine, which is valid through 2027. She does experience some separation anxiety and can become stressed in boarding or vet environments, so she prefers to not be left alone for hours.

Story
Esme is a simple girl that came to our attention at Critter Cavalry Rescue as she struggled to find a place to raise her 7 puppies that she birthed.  The odds were stacked but she managed to bring 3 of the 7 puppies through to the place that they could be adopted during the coming weeks.  This girl is 2 years old, weighs 35 pounds and has a sleek, beautiful demeanor that speaks to everyone she meets with a kindness and courage.  Esme is learning how to enjoy the niceties of being an inside dog as she has raised her puppies.  She is housebroken, crate trained and is good with all the other dogs and cats at the foster home.  She is around young active children (boys) and she keeps her calm demeanor through all the activities of the children. She loves people so much and just to be with someone.  She is food motivated and very bright and can learn so much if you use the treat method to win her attention and desire to learn a trick or commands. She is a great medium energy girl that is ready to chase a toy or ball but has not gotten the memo on how to bring it back to the person who threw it. She is wonderful on a leash and has a slight playful side to her. This pretty girl is really not big at all and on the smaller side of a Lab and she demands little from life or her people.  We are wanting the sun, moon and stars for her future with a new family. Could you give that to her?  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested! 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.January 20, 2026, 9:56 pm

Story
Marley has spent almost two years waiting for something most dogs are given without question — a home. Born around February, 2023, this strikingly handsome Catahoula mix boy has grown up in a shelter, watching the world move past him while he stays behind in a kennel run. It’s hard to understand how a dog so joyful, so loving, and so eager to connect has been overlooked for so long.  Maybe it's because he isn't in a big city where people frequent the local shelter looking a dog to love.  Marley is in a very rural ,out of the way shelter that few people come to. Marley is the kind of dog who lights up when someone notices him. He is friendly, social, and genuinely happy just to be included. He gets along well with other dogs and older children, and his favorite thing in the world is simply being part of the moment — whether that means splashing in water, running around outside, or settling in as your loyal couch companion. Time has softened Marley in the best ways. While he still has a playful spirit, he’s matured into a wonderfully balanced dog who knows how to enjoy both adventure and quiet companionship. He leans into affection, seeks out closeness, and gives love freely — the kind of love that feels steady, sincere, and deeply comforting. What Marley is missing isn’t training or potential — it’s belonging. He deserves a family who sees him not as another face in a kennel, but as a best friend waiting patiently for his turn. A home where he can stretch his legs, rest his head on your lap, and finally understand that he’s safe and chosen. Marley is sweet. He is beautiful. He is ready. He has already waited long enough. He deserves more than a kennel. He deserves mornings in a home, evenings with his head in your lap, and a life where he's finally chosen. If you're looking for a dog who will meet you with joy, loyalty, and an open heart every single day... Marley Is still at the shelter, still hoping, and still ready to go home. Even if all you can do is foster him while Critter Cavalry searches for a home, please consider the option to free him. All he needs is someone to look at him and say, you’re coming home with me. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Please consider Marley and changing his life from a kennel run to a soft dog bed laying at your feet. Don't hesitate to contact Critter Cavalry Rescue 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.January 26, 2026, 6:54 pm

Story
Mae is a laid-back, sweet, 8 year old girl. She is happiest when she can lay on a soft bed, couch, or even across your lap. She's lived with 1 dog her entire life, and another younger dog for the last 2 years. She doesn't like kennels or traditional boarding, but always enjoys time with a Rover sitter where she can comfortably be in someone's home. I've had Mae since she was only a few months old. She has always been on the more timid side, but she does have times where she enjoys being playful and active. Mae is fearful of bikes and children, due to a negative experience when she was younger. Mae also dislikes thunderstorms and can take 50mg of Trazadone to alleviate her anxiety during bad weather. If you are looking for a sweet, low energy, girl who enjoys cuddling and taking it easy, Mae is your girl. She would love nothing more than to get back scratches all day on the couch with you.
