Story
Sammy is a 5-year-old, 63-lb neutered sweetheart who truly loves everyone. Kids, strangers, dogs, cats, chickens—you name it, Sammy is gentle, friendly, and affectionate. He’s confident, cuddly, fully house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. Sammy struggles with anxiety indoors and has a strong desire to roam, making a suburban setting unsafe for him. He would thrive in a farm or rural home with lots of safe space to explore, where his anxiety would likely subside.  With his dad about to deploy and mom working long hours, this boy needs a new home with someone who can help him fulfill his needs.  They love him enough to want what is best for him. Originally rescued from Puerto Rico after being hit by a car, Sammy recovered beautifully and has the biggest heart. He is the sweetest boy and deserves a home that fits his needs. If you have land, love, and room to roam—Sammy may be your perfect match. Click an image to complete one of our adoption applications today!             January 19, 2026, 7:44 pm

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
