Story

We adopted Brewer when he was 6 weeks old from the local shelter. He was a good puppy, but had been abused so we eventually got a second dog for him to play with and bring him out of his shell. Brewer went to a month long puppy training camp and is fully house trained. We have no issues with Brewer, but we now have two little girls under four years old, and Brewer and our other dog are too large and play too rough around our girls. They have accidentally knocked them down several times, not intentionally being aggressive but just wanting to play. Brewer is now 9 years old and does not have any significant health issues (we removed a tumor last year but it was benign). Brewer loves being outside and playing fetch, but is also comfortable laying around the house all day. He can be known to be stubborn and not go outside when he needs to, but with a little prompting he will go. He has never been aggressive toward any human or other dog.

Story

Lacey is a pretty young, 2 year old, 50 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback mix girl that lived the first years of life on a chain outside in a man’s backyard.  She has had a few litters of pups and PREFERS to be the only queen of the house.  Being always chained, many dogs have a defensive attitude of being jumped on and often prefer to be the only pet in the home.  She is very sweet and loving and adores meeting new people and making friends.  She loves men especially and is gentle with children.  She is so very calm and easy going around the house.  She is not a fan of the crate because it is new to her.   She was never crated until now.  She doesn’t seem to be destructive at all in the house.  She loves sleeping on the bed at night and will sleep right next to you.  She has been in HEAVEN because she has never had the inside comforts of a home.  This smart girl can be taught so many things.  Please consider giving her a comfy and loving home and the life she deserves.  She is ready now!  She is housebroken and loves car rides and can travel to a new home anywhere.  If you want a well rounded and easy dog, you really need to pick Lacey!!!   Email Critter Cavalry Rescue and ask for an application to adopt.   Email:  ccrtennessee@gmail.com  She is ready to pack her bags and head fast as lightning to a new dog bed and people who will treat her like a Queen. 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 28, 2024, 4:57 pm

Story

Daisy Jane is… A world class snuggler Smart & food motivated Affectionate & playful Medium energy Approx 2-3 years old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Amstaff and ?? and loves a good game of FETCH! We rescued this cutie from a rural animal control here in middle TN when her time ran out. She does well in her room when her foster dad is at work and will couch cuddle all weekend if you let her! She loves sleeping in bed at night. She would do well with a fenced yard but currently does not have one. She loves to play with other dogs at the dog park but could have a doggie friend or not in the home- in some ways she really likes having her human to herself at home! She has had fun playing with young nephews of her foster. She also is amazing is the car and has traveled to several states on trips with her foster dad!

I have had Oakley since she was a puppy and she has always been a great dog. She can have a lot of energy at times so it might be best to go somewhere with a lot of space to run. She loves other dogs and loves to play. She absolutely loves to give kisses and cuddles.
