Story
Halo is about a year old and 33 pounds of snuggly fluffy love. My siblings and I were living on the streets, trying to get by, when someone finally came to help us. My brother needed an eye removed, and I lost a leg. We’ve been through a lot, but now we’re doing great—healthy, safe, and finally enjoying full tummies. ❤️ There’s just one thing I’m still waiting for: a real home. A soft bed, a family of my own, and the chance to learn what it feels like to be loved. I may have one less leg, but I have a whole heart ready to love you. I never want to sleep outside again. Could I come home with you? 🐾 Halo the Tri Paw is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. All dogs 6 month + receive a Proheart 6 injection at the time of their heartworm test. This provides heartworm prevention for 6 months from the time of that injection. This dog has tested negative for heartworms. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at our Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get a confirmation. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Olive the Outgoing and Energetic! If life is a party, Olive is the girl who shows up ready to make it unforgettable! She's confident, full of personality, and always curious about what's happening around her. Whether she's meeting new friends or exploring an unfamiliar place, Olive has a way of making ordinary moments a little more entertaining. Looking for a four-legged companion to share life's adventures? Olive might be your girl! Watch her video and get to know this charming little social butterfly!https://youtu.be/eFXM-CIAqaA Olive absolutely loves other dogs! She's happiest when she has a friend to chase, wrestle, and enjoy a good game with. Her play style is enthusiastic and rough-and-tumble, so she'd especially enjoy a confident canine companion who appreciates lively games and can communicate boundaries. She regularly plays with a smaller dog in her foster home and has also enjoyed spending time with larger dogs after getting acquainted. Olive is comfortable sharing toys and attention, making her a promising match for a home with a compatible furry sibling. Olive would thrive with a family that enjoys an active lifestyle and can provide daily exercise, enrichment, and opportunities to explore. She's continuing to develop her leash manners, especially when other dogs catch her attention. With patient guidance, positive reinforcement, and consistent practice, she can keep building the skills needed for more relaxed walks. Olive is already familiar with family life! She currently lives in a foster home with children and has done well sharing her space with them. A household with older, dog-savvy kids, ideally ages 10 and up, could be a wonderful fit. She's also comfortable with her crate routine, accepts handling well, and has demonstrated polite behavior around food. Wondering about cats? Olive met a cat during her assessment and showed playful curiosity. A confident, dog-savvy cat who is comfortable establishing boundaries could be a potential match with thoughtful introductions and supervision. Apartment living may also be an option, provided her family can meet her exercise needs and continue practicing calm leash walks in shared spaces. One of Olive's most charming qualities is her independence. She enjoys companionship without needing constant attention and brings a fun, self-assured personality to the people around her. With a family who appreciates her individuality and is excited to help her continue learning, Olive has all the makings of a wonderful companion. Olive the Outgoing and Energetic is ready to find her people, make lasting memories, and discover what it means to be someone's very best girl. Could that someone be you? https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6ad62d4ef4768254cc02bf4b Questions?

Story
Armani, affectionately called Ari, is one of those little dogs who quietly steals your heart. At just 3 years old and 17 pounds, this sweet Schnauzer has discovered something entirely new in his life: what it feels like to be safe, loved, and part of a family. Ari spent most of his life living outside with an elderly couple who had taken in far more dogs than they could manage. When the local shelter became involved and asked for help, Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in, and Ari finally found himself in a foster home. In only 12 days, this gentle little boy has made an incredible transformation. His foster mom, Taj, says he is wonderfully well behaved in the house and doesn't chew, steal, or get into things he shouldn't. He sleeps quietly through the night and is learning that a crate can be a safe and comfortable place. Even more touching, the frightened, shaking little dog who first arrived is beginning to greet his foster family and ask for affection. Ari is still learning how to relax and truly let himself become part of a family. New people can make him nervous, and he is learning to trust that the world is a safe place. But he is making progress every single day. He loves being near his people and will happily follow them from room to room, even if he hasn't quite decided that being a lapdog is his thing yet. One of Ari's greatest joys is playing with other dogs. He loves to run and romp in the yard until he is completely worn out, and then he is perfectly content to settle down for a peaceful rest. Because other dogs give him confidence and help show him the way, we believe he would thrive with a confident, playful canine companion in his new home. He is learning house manners, leash walking with a harness, and potty training, and his doggie friend is helping teach him the proper way to do things. Ari is a smart, gentle boy who is eager to please. He doesn't need someone to expect him to become confident overnight. He simply needs someone willing to give him patience, kindness, and the time to discover who he can become. In just 12 days, he has already shown us so much of his sweet personality. Imagine what the next few months could bring when this little boy finally knows, without a doubt, that he is home. Armani is fostered in Nashville, Tennessee and is ready to transport to the right family. If you think you might be the person who can help Ari finish the journey from a frightened little dog to a beloved family member, please write to 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.com November 1, 2026, 1:42 pm
