Story
  URGENT: Cash Needs a Safe Haven by May 15th   Cash is a beautiful 6-year-old, 55-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who has spent his entire life as a deeply loved family companion. Now, through no fault of his own, he is facing a critical deadline to find a new home—or even a foster—by May 15th.   Cash has always had a sensitive, gentle nature. While he has thrived in a calm and predictable home, recent changes have been overwhelming for him. The addition of a baby who is now a busy, walking toddler has brought constant movement, noise, and unpredictability into his world. For a dog who depends on peace and routine to feel secure, it has simply become too much. Cash isn’t acting out—he’s anxious and no longer feels that sense of safety in the place he once called home.   Despite this, Cash is an incredibly loving dog. He is a true snuggler and a couch companion who finds joy in being close to his people. He loves human connection and does well playing with other dogs, making him an easy and rewarding addition to the right home. What he needs now is a quieter environment, ideally with older children or adults, where he can relax, rebuild his confidence, and feel at peace again.   His family loves him deeply, and this decision is heartbreaking, but they know it is what’s best for him. They want Cash to have the chance to truly thrive in a home that fits his needs.   Even a foster home would be a lifesaving solution while a permanent home is found.   Time is critical. Cash must have a place to go by May 15th. There are no other options.   If you can help give Cash the calm, safe space he so desperately needs, please reach out right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com or text 615-661-5333.   Please share—his second chance could be just one person away. ❤️   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.comMay 22, 2026, 10:26 pm

Story
Freyr is an 1 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Cane Corso mix looking for a loving new home. Due to our busy schedules, we’re not able to give him the time and attention he deserves, so we want to find a family that can.Freyr is house-trained, up to date on all vaccinations, and has never shown any aggression. He is very affectionate and loves cuddling up next to you. He also enjoys walks on the beach and spending time outdoors, but he’s just as happy relaxing with his people.He’s a loyal, sweet dog who thrives on companionship and would do best with someone who has the time to give him plenty of love and attention.Please message if you’re interested in giving Freyr a great home.

Story
Hi, Im Chi, and I've got soft-boy charm! At first I’ll size you up like a seasoned diplomat, but once youve passed the sniff test (bonus points if you brought treats), Im all in for cuddles and goofy play. Im great with other dogs and kind humans, including kids, and Ive been fully vetted, vaccinated, and neutered—basically, Im a gentleman in a tux. If youre the type who respects a slow warm-up and then welcomes the most loyal sidekick you’ll ever meet, Ive got your back (and your couch). Im still in Qatar, but can be transported to an approved foster or adopter. I cant wait to meet you!
