Story
MeShell MaBelle is a story of quiet endurance and beautiful transformation. At three years old and 60 pounds, this striking black Standard Poodle embodies everything people love about the breed — intelligence, sensitivity, and a deep emotional awareness of her people. For much of her early life, MeShell tried to be content with limited interaction and long hours alone. While she loved her family, the lack of stimulation and extended crate confinement placed stress on her gentle system, eventually leading to a diagnosis of Addison’s Disease — a condition that is very manageable, especially in a home built on routine, consistency, and love. Everything changed when MeShell entered foster care. Surrounded for the first time by open skies, fresh air, and patient guidance, she began discovering what life could be. On a lively farm filled with dogs of all sizes, curious cats, horses, donkeys, and even pigs, MeShell absorbed new experiences with quiet determination. She learned how to play, how to relax in the presence of others, and how to take joy in simple freedoms — running through tall grass, resting near trusted humans, and curling up beside a canine companion at the end of the day. Today, MeShell is a happy, affectionate, and energetic girl who thrives on companionship and gentle structure. She is deeply people-oriented and does best when she is included, seen, and emotionally connected to her humans. Her care needs are straightforward: a daily pill, a once-monthly injection, and a lifelong promise that she will never again be overlooked. What she gives in return is immeasurable — loyalty, intelligence, and a love that feels steady, intentional, and profoundly sincere. MeShell MaBelle is ready to leave her past behind and step fully into a future where she is cherished as both a companion and a soul. If you feel a pull toward a dog who has known hardship but still offers her whole heart, she may be the one you’ve been waiting for. To learn more about adopting MeShell, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and include your location when inquiring. Adoptions are available to Tennessee residents, with regular transport offered to families in the northeastern states. 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 25, 2026, 7:29 pm

Wilfred/Wilfy

Poodle (Standard) Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Young
Bath, ME
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Wilfred is adorable, smart and motivated to learn. He knows basic commands including sit, down and stay, and would do great learning tricks. He is doing well with his leash training. Wilfy adores people; he will wiggle his whole body in excitement when you come home, will happily cuddle up with you in bed, and is quick to ask for a belly rub. Wilfred was advertised by the rescue we adopted him from as being great with cats. He is in fact highly motivated to chase cats, and should not live with them. While he loves other dogs, we believe that he would do best as an only pet. He loves 1:1 human attention and really shines when our other dog is not at home. Wilfy would make the right human(s) a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime dog. We want to find him an experienced adopter who is down to continue the rewards-based training that we have been practicing. Wilfy is 45 lbs. He is neutered, heartworm neg, and has all shots.

Fenway

Poodle (Standard) German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young
Barrington, NH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Fenway was adopted from a Mennonite breeder in Pennsylvania in October 2023 when he was six months old. He is a 50/50 mix of Standard Poodle and German Shepherd. He has a poodle-type coat and does not shed. He is truly a good dog and very alert—he’s vocal when anyone or anything comes onto our property. He does well with other dogs and people when introductions are made outside the home, but he is naturally protective and will not allow strangers inside without a proper introduction. Unfortunately, Fenway is simply more dog than we are able to handle. He needs to stay busy and would thrive with plenty of outdoor time and activity. He is not a couch potato, and I’m unsure whether that will change as he gets older. I am currently undergoing knee replacements, and have to medicate him to prevent accidental injury to me, which feels unfair to him. Fenway is crate trained and even puts himself to bed when the TV goes off at night. I love him very much, and this situation is not his fault.

Poodle (Miniature) Labrador Retriever

Story
  Some dogs just have a way of reaching right into your heart, and Vanna is one of them. She’s a soft, scruffy little doodle mix with warm eyes and a gentle nature that makes you feel like she’s known you forever. Her life started in hardship, born out in the woods to a doodle mix mama dog owned by a homeless man who simply couldn’t give the puppies a future indoors.   At only 8 at the time weeks old, Vanna and her sister were rescued by a kind young woman who brought them home and loved them dearly for the last ten months. Unfortunately, life circumstances changed and she bravely chose what was best for Vanna rather than holding on when she could no longer afford the vet care and stability Vanna needs. Now Critter Cavalry Rescue will finish everything to prepare her for a bright new chapter — spay, vaccines, heartworm test, and microchip.   Vanna weighs 26 pounds and has that soft, fluffy coat that will absolutely glow with a little grooming. She’s happiest when she’s with other dogs and really doesn’t do well spending long days crated and alone. She wants activity, companionship, and people who include her in daily life.   Leash skills are still new to her, but she’s bright and willing, and she’ll blossom quickly with gentle guidance. A fenced yard or daily off-leash playtime is a must for this girl. She loves to stretch her legs and run, and while she will stay close, her recall comes from trust and bonding, which she gives wholeheartedly once she feels safe.   Vanna is loving, affectionate, and full of gratitude for every bit of kindness she’s ever been shown. Her previous mom saved her life — now we want to find the family who will cherish it forever.   Think you might be the one for Vanna? 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.comJanuary 20, 2026, 9:56 pm
