Story
Blue is a five year old female Shar Pei with a soft blue grey coat, a serious set of wrinkles, and no idea at all how dignified she looks. She came to us as an owner surrender. She belonged to an elderly woman who could no longer care for her, so Blue has never known anything except a good home, and it shows in everything she does. She is house broken. She is microchipped. She walks into a room, greets whoever is standing in it, and settles. She was unbothered by her first day at the shelter and she likes every person she meets. Here is the one thing to know before you come see her. Blue has separation anxiety and it is real. Left alone overnight in a crate, she worked at getting out of it. A crate is not a workable tool for her right now, and a home where she would be alone for long stretches is not going to work for her either. After five years spent beside someone who was home all day, that makes sense to us. What she needs is people around. We are also looking for a home with previous Shar Pei experience, and that is a requirement rather than a preference. This breed comes with its own eye, skin, and temperament considerations, and we want Blue going home with someone who already knows them and is not learning them for the first time on her. To meet Blue, please email us first. We ask that an application be approved before a meet and greet is scheduled for her, so that we know the home fits what she needs before she is introduced to anyone. We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to set up a visit or learn more today.

He is good with kids – best suited for older children due to his size and enthusiasm. Murphy has medium energy—he enjoys play time but also loves to chill with his people.

Story
Meet Hope — a beautiful Boxer girl who has already overcome so much and is finally ready for the happy ending she deserves. ❤️Hope is a 7-year-old purebred Boxer, but please don’t let that number fool you. This girl has the heart, energy, and playful spirit of a much younger Boxer. She bounces, prances, dances, and barrels through life with a zest that is impossible not to smile at. She is the kind of dog whose happiness is contagious.Hope came to Critter Cavalry Rescue during a heartbreaking time. Her beloved owner became critically ill and was ultimately unable to care for her, and when Hope came into rescue, she weighed only 35 pounds and was painfully underweight. Her owner’s greatest wish was that she would be given the best life possible, and that is exactly the promise we made to him.Today, Hope is a healthy 46 pounds and absolutely thriving in her foster home. She is currently living with several other Boxers and has fit right in as though she has always been part of the crew. She is wonderfully social and genuinely enjoys making friends. Dogs, children, adults — if you are willing to be her friend, Hope is ready to love you!Hope is also a very good girl in the house. She is completely potty trained, knows her basic commands, and is so well mannered that she does not need to be crated when left home alone. She is easygoing, affectionate, and responds well to gentle guidance.But what really makes Hope special is her spirit. She has been through a major life change, yet she has come through it with her joyful personality completely intact. She still believes the world is a wonderful place and that every day is an opportunity to play, explore, and love someone new.Hope would love an active Boxer-loving family who will give her plenty of playtime, attention, and opportunities to enjoy life. Another dog who appreciates a playful companion would be wonderful, especially one who doesn’t mind her endless Boxer enthusiasm!Hope has spent enough time waiting for her tomorrow. Now she needs the forever family who will give her the bright future her name promises. She is fully vetted, microchipped, thriving, and ready to make the next chapter of her life the very best one yet.If you think Hope could be the joyful, energetic Boxer girl your family has been waiting for, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. 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.comSeptember 9, 2026, 12:39 pm
