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.comSeptember 24, 2026, 7:56 pm

Story
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Where’s Waldo? I’m right here! Hi! I’m Waldo, a young, scruffy, big-eared guy weighing in at a perfect 25 pounds of pure puppy fun! We think I might have some Schnauzer in me, but honestly, nobody seems quite sure what my recipe is. I prefer to think of myself as 100% adorable with a generous helping of scruff. I am also NOT SHY. Like, not even a little. I love people! I see a new person and immediately think, “Oh good! Another friend!” I’m friendly, outgoing, and always ready to say hello. If you’re looking for a dog who needs a few weeks to warm up to you, that’s definitely not me. I’m ready to be your best friend approximately three seconds after meeting you. â¤ï¸ I have lots of puppy energy, so I’m looking for a family who likes to have fun. I LOVE playing with other dogs, and my dream roommate would be another young, energetic pup who wants to run, wrestle, chase and generally make questionable life choices together. I’m still young, so I should probably tell you that I’m a little mouthy. I like to put things in my mouth. Bones? Absolutely. Toys? Definitely. Something I probably shouldn’t chew? Well… that sounds like a challenge. My humans are helping me learn that not everything in the house is a chew toy. I also seem to be housebroken, so clearly I am capable of making excellent decisions sometimes. And can we talk about my ears?! They are BIG. Like, “Did you hear something three counties away?” big. They are one of my best features, although I have a pretty impressive scruffy face to compete with them. At 25 pounds, I’m the perfect size for pretty much everything—big enough for adventures and playtime, but small enough to fit right next to you when it’s time to relax. So, if you’re looking for a funny, friendly, energetic, scruffy young dog who loves people, loves dogs, has approximately 47% more personality than necessary, and comes equipped with his very own satellite dishes… Where’s Waldo? I’m right here! And I’m ready to go home. â¤ï¸  All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only. September 24, 2026, 5:20 pm

Story
Meet Jedi, a sweet, eager-to-please boy who is ready to put his difficult past behind him and find the loving family he has always deserved. With his adorable scruffy face and happy personality, this handsome guy is sure to charm his way into your heart.Jedi was removed from his previous home in Texas due to mistreatment and eventually found himself at a local shelter. Sadly, when his time ran out, he was scheduled to be euthanized. Thankfully, one of our wonderful southern fosters stepped up to save him, giving Jedi the second chance he so desperately deserved. Jedi is a loving, friendly boy who is excited about life and the people in it. He absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys having canine friends. He also lives peacefully with cats in his foster home, mostly ignoring them. His foster's cats are confident and don't run from him, so a home with similarly dog-savvy cats would likely be the best fit. Jedi has also done wonderfully with the neighbor's children, happily playing and enjoying their company.This medium-energy boy does well on leash, although he may pull at times, and he would benefit from continued practice with his leash skills and basic manners. He is eager to please, which should make training a wonderful way for Jedi and his new family to bond. He's also a superstar in his crate—he sleeps quietly through the night from about 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. without barking or having accidents.Jedi's ideal home would be with an active family who will include him in their adventures, continue teaching him all the things a good boy needs to know, and, most importantly, shower him with the love and kindness he missed out on earlier in life.Jedi's past may not have been the one he deserved, but his future can be. This sweet boy is ready for his happily-ever-after—could it be with you?All known information about the animal is listed above.
