Story
  ---If you are looking for a soft and fluffy larger puppy who will grow in to a easy going and loving 75+ pound dog, then Squirrel is your girl.  This black and white with a touch of brown highlights beauty was born 2/26 to a Great Pyr Momma and an Aussie dad.  One of those southern OOPS litters.  Lovingly the litter was raised in a home until late April and then they were all dropped off at the local rural shelter in Middle Tennessee.  For 5 weeks they stayed there with no adoptions.  Gorgeous young puppies in their prime of life and needing to be hugged and loved on.  We just guess that this busy Spring saw many adopters too busy to adopt due to traveling.  The Shelter reached out to Critter Cavalry Rescue and we jumped in to find fosters and take them home to make their remaining months more structured and guided with training and love.  When you first meet our beautiful girl puppy, Squirrel, you are immediately drawn to her sweet face that is shaped more like an Aussie than the squared jawline of a Great Pyr. At 23 pounds, this girl draws you to her soft appearance and her easy to approach fun loving temperament.  There’s this energy of curiosity and welcoming personality that let's you know she would like to be your friend and playmate.  She loves to run and play and is  up for great adventures with other dogs or with people. This incredibly beautiful big girl has the look of a a large Australian Shepherd and has the softest fur and biggest appetite. She does well with another dog to play with but could certainly be the only dog.  She is working hard on knowing all the housebreak times and learning what a crate is all about as well.  We want this girl to grow up successfully in a fenced yard and to learn leash manners right away.  She loves to sleep most of the night in her puppy bed on the floor by the bed.  But Squirrel is more than just beautiful looking - she is a happy, smart girl who is going to be fun for hikes, jogs, and fun adventures like camping or Fall Festivals. She would lay by your feet while you work all day long.  She loves to run and romp in the yard and this is why we are looking for a family with a fence.  She is a smart, observant puppy who takes in the world around her and responds with curiosity and heart. She adores snuggling with her  foster mom and happily soaks up attention, pets, and love from everyone she meets. Watching her romp around with joyful zoomies is pure happiness in motion.    If you are looking for a big dog in your life then Squirrel will most certainly fill that wishlist for you.  She should grow to be a 75+ dog much like her Momma.  She is ready for adoption NOW.... spayed and has had all her shots, this girl is ready for a life changing move to a new family that will teach her what unconditional love is all  about.  If you would like an application from Critter Cavalry Rescue then please send an email request for an application to ccrnewengland@gmail.com  We transport on 6/19 to the northeastern corridor and make designated transport stops along the way.  We also adopt locally in Middle Tennessee and surrounding areas.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
  Marlee's story began the way far too many Great Pyrenees stories do. She was found wandering alongside an older female Great Pyr we believe may have been her mother. Like so many livestock guardian dogs, Marlee had been left to roam unsupervised on rural property, with little guidance, socialization, or human connection. Over time, dogs like Marlee lose their sense of where they belong—and sometimes who they belong to. The older female, lovingly named Marilyn, has already found her happy ending with a wonderful family, complete with children, chickens, and a small hobby farm to call home. Now it's Marlee's turn. When Marlee first came into rescue, she wasn't sure about people. She kept her distance and needed time to learn that human hands could offer comfort, kindness, and safety. Her foster mom has patiently shown her what love looks like, and watching Marlee blossom has been nothing short of beautiful. Today, Marlee welcomes affection. She seeks comfort from the people she trusts and reveals the sweet, gentle soul that was hidden beneath her uncertainty. She is crate trained, wonderful with other dogs, respectful of cats, and good with young children, though she can still be a little shy when meeting new people. One of the most endearing things about Marlee is how deeply she feels. She is sensitive to the emotions of her humans and forms meaningful bonds with those who care for her. Every day brings a little more confidence, a little more trust, and another glimpse of the incredible companion she is becoming. Marlee is looking for a patient, loving family familiar with the Great Pyrenees breed—someone who understands that these magnificent dogs need both security and consistency to thrive. Because Great Pyrenees are known for their climbing and roaming instincts, she will require a securely fenced yard with privacy fencing or wrought iron containment. If you've been looking for a loyal companion with a gentle heart and a story of resilience, Marlee may be the one you've been waiting for. She has done the hard work of learning to trust. Now she just needs a family who will never give her a reason to lose that trust again. To learn more about adopting Marlee, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Be sure to tell us where you live and describe your fencing. Marlee is ready for her forever home. Could it be yours?   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.June 16, 2026, 3:25 pm
