Story
GENT is a fantastic dog who is being cared for by one of our trusted rescue partners. GENT is NOT a Woof River dog. To apply for GENT please download an adoption application here Please email the completed application to John at jhayesp@gmail.com Please submit an application rather than an inquiry with no application attached. 🐾 Meet Gent – A True Southern Gentleman! 🐾 Handsome GENT is ready to leave his stray days behind and start the next chapter of his life—with a family of his very own! Rescued just a few months ago as a stray, GENT arrived with a long, heavily matted coat. After a much-needed grooming and veterinary care, this handsome poodle/doodle mix has blossomed into the happy, active, and lovable boy he was meant to be! GENT is as smart as he is handsome. He's highly intelligent and has wonderful manners. He walks beautifully on a leash, rides like a perfect gentleman in the car, and even takes his treats ever so gently. ❤️ He's a sensitive soul, too. Traffic and loud noises can make him uncomfortable, so he would love a patient, understanding person who will help him feel safe and secure as he adjusts to his new life. GENT has been fully vetted and neutered, and now all that's missing is YOU! He's looking for someone who will take him on walks, give him plenty of love, cherish his gentle nature, and remind him every day that he's finally home. GENT has done his time waiting. Now it's his turn to be someone's beloved companion. GENT is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations. His $550 adoption fee covers his interstate health certificate and the cost of transport to the New England area. For an adoption application on GENT click here Please email the completed application to jhayesp@gmail.com. He will reach out to you as soon as your application is processed. Thank you in advance for your patience. Like all of Woof River's dogs, GENT will be beginning his journey in Memphis, Tennessee where he will remain until adopted. Once adopted, some pups stay local in Memphis. Many others travel via one of our transport partners to their new forever homes. We use Pet Express Transport (https://petexpresstupelo.wordpress.com) for our Nashville, Knoxville and New England adoptions. Breed selection is done in conjunction with two local vets and is not to be considered a guarantee but rather a well-educated decision from well qualified staff. Please LIKE Woof River on Facebook! Thank you for choosing rescue!!

Story
Arlo does not simply walk into a room, he brings the sunshine in with him. Between his gorgeous curly coat, happy-go-lucky personality, and ability to make friends everywhere he goes, this boy is pure joy on four legs. He is sweet, silly, affectionate, and completely full of life. Arlo is the kind of dog who makes ordinary days feel a little more fun just by being part of them. Watch Arlo's video and fall in love with this walking ray of sunshine: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ8aomDv5bKyoElr66EBc7A Arlo is approximately 3 years old, weighs 55 lbs, and is believed to be a standard Poodle mix. Arlo is very dog friendly and has done great with every dog we have introduced him to. He happily greets new friends, joins them for a game of chase, and then knows when it is time to take a break. He is such a social butterfly that we could even see him enjoying doggy daycare or trips to the dog park. Arlo would do well with a medium-energy dog who enjoys playing but can also settle down afterward. Because he is a big boy with an enthusiastic play style, any dog friends in her future home should be at least 30 lbs. Smaller pups may find his excitement a little overwhelming. This smart cookie already knows how to sit and shake, especially when treats are involved. (does he know anything)?? He loves toys, loves snacks, and loves being included in whatever his people are doing. With his intelligence, eagerness, and social personality, he will have so much fun continuing to learn new things with his future family. Arlo’s ideal home would be with a semi-active family and a backyard where he can run, stretch those long legs, play with toys, and find the perfect sunny spot for an afternoon nap. Picture weekend hikes with Arlo happily trotting beside you, patio lunches where he charms everyone he meets, and trips around town with his fluffy head poking out of the car window. After a day of adventures, he will be just as happy coming home, settling in with his people, and soaking up all the affection he can get. Arlo is beautiful on the outside, but his joyful personality is what will truly make you fall in love. He is ready to bring laughter, adventure, affection, and an endless supply of sunshine into his forever home. We are willing to test Arlo with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Jack is a handsome 5 year-old, 60 lbs  black Standard Poodle who is finally getting the opportunity to discover what it means to be part of a family. Originally his life started off being purchased as a puppy for one purpose — to be a breeding dog. He was never given the chance to live inside, curl up beside his people, learn the routines of a household or simply be someone's companion. He spent his years outside in a small pen and requured to father many puppies.  He never got to experience the life that a dog like Jack deserves. Now that chapter is behind him, and we are so excited about what comes next. Jack is incredibly loving, affectionate and smart. He has a wonderful temperament and truly enjoys people. There is a sweetness to him that makes it easy to imagine just how much he is going to blossom once he realizes that being someone's dog means so much more than simply being cared for. Although Jack has never lived inside, he is already showing us some very promising signs. He has been doing remarkably well with keeping his kennel clean, giving us a wonderful foundation as he learns house manners. And with the intelligence Standard Poodles are known for, we expect Jack to be a very willing student once he understands what is being asked of him. There will be plenty of new things for Jack to discover — household sounds, doors, furniture, routines and all the little parts of family life he has never experienced. He may need patience and guidance along the way, but he has everything we could hope for in a dog beginning this journey: intelligence, affection, a gentle nature and an enormous capacity to love. We can't help but think that Jack is going to be absolutely amazed by his new life with a family.  A warm bed, a family to follow from room to room and  someone who wants him beside them simply because they love him. The freedom to finally be a companion instead of a breeding dog. Jack has spent five years waiting for the opportunity to be someone's beloved family member. Now it's finally his turn. And we have a feeling this incredibly sweet, intelligent boy is going to be amazing at it. If you are interested in being this sweet boy's rescue family, please write to 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.November 1, 2026, 1:42 pm

Story
Meet Ginny Lynn — a sweet little girl who is still learning that being someone’s dog is a pretty wonderful thing. ❤️   Ginny Lynn is a 45 pound, one-year-old Poodle mix who, along with her 2 brothers, was abandoned when a tenant left them and her grey Poodle dad,  behind at a cabin in the woods. They were actually all 4 left in crates and had to wait to be discovered and rescued many days later. They had known both indoor and outdoor life before that, but suddenly being left behind like that was a pretty confusing and scary experience for these pups.   So, it’s no surprise that Ginny can be a little sensitive when everything around her is new. She may not be the one who marches through the door on day one like she owns the place. She’s more of a “let me look around, figure this out and make sure everything is okay” kind of girl.   And honestly, once she decides everything really is okay, she is pretty amazing and  sweet.   She has been living in a house now and is doing well. She is discovering the joys of being comfortable, having a soft place to curl up and getting to spend his days around people. She’s learning that a house isn’t something to be unsure of—it’s where the good stuff happens.   Ginny Lynn is smart, loving and eager to learn. She just needs someone who understands that confidence doesn't always happen overnight. Give her a little patience, a predictable routine and some kindness, and you’ll get to watch this sweet girl come out of her shell.   Once she settles in, expect a happy little companion who wants to be part of things. She has a gentle nature and a sweetness about her that makes you want to reassure her that she has finally landed somewhere good.   And maybe that's what Ginny needs most—not anything fancy, not a perfect home, just a person who will let her take a breath, get comfortable and realize that this time, she's not being left behind.   This girl deserves to know what it feels like to be somebody's dog. To have a favorite bed. A favorite person. A routine. A home. And most importantly, to know that when her person walks out the door, they're coming back.   We think Ginny is going to be awfully easy to love. ❤️. If you are interested in giving this girl The Good Life.... Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com asap.   Tell us what city and state you live in when you are inquiring about her.   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.November 1, 2026, 1:42 pm

Story
Ruger — A Sweet Boy Discovering How Wonderful Home Can Be   Ruger is a 40 pound, one-year-old Poodle mix whose life didn’t get the easiest start. He was abandoned along with his brothers and their dad when a tenant left them behind at a cabin in the woods. Like his brothers, Ruger spent his early life outside with very little experience of the world beyond what he knew.   Because of that, adopters should expect Ruger to be a little shy and sensitive at first. Moving into a new home, meeting new people and learning a whole new routine is a big change for a boy who hasn’t always had the chance to experience the world in a safe and secure way. He may need a little time to settle in and figure out that this new life really is his.   But once Ruger gets comfortable, you get to see what a truly sweet boy he is. ❤️ He has been living in a house now and is doing wonderfully. He has discovered some of the very best things about being an indoor dog—especially finding a soft place to curl up and getting comfy on the bed!   Ruger is a loving, happy and smart little guy who is eager to learn and be part of his family. He may be sensitive, but underneath that initial shyness is a sweet boy who wants to trust, wants to please and wants to be loved.   He doesn't need someone to expect him to walk into a new home and immediately act like he has lived there forever. He just needs someone who will give him a little patience while he adjusts, reassure him that he is safe, and let his personality come out at his own pace.   Once Ruger settles in, expect a happy, affectionate, smart little companion who is ready to enjoy all the things he should have had from the beginning—soft beds, loving people, a safe home and a family of his own.   Ruger has already come so far. Now he just needs someone willing to give him the time and love to take that final step into his forever home. ❤️ Few are interested in making Rugers dream family become  your family , please email Critter Cavalry Rescue atccrnewengland@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.November 1, 2026, 1:42 pm
