Story
 Meet Marty — 20 pounds of fluffy puppy fun with a whole lot more growing to do! Marty is a happy, energetic Great Pyrenees mix who has never met an adventure he didn’t want to investigate or a person he didn’t want to greet. At just 12 weeks old, he already weighs 20 pounds and is growing like a weed, so we expect this handsome boy to eventually become a big, beautiful 70-pound companion.Marty and his sister were found wandering in a small Indiana town and were lucky enough to come into rescue rather than face an already overcrowded shelter. He is now thriving in his foster home, where he has other dogs to keep him company and a newly retired foster mom who is thoroughly enjoying having a front-row seat to all of Marty’s puppy antics.And there are plenty of antics!Marty is playful, curious, affectionate, and full of that irresistible puppy enthusiasm that makes you laugh even when he is getting himself into a little trouble. He loves people and other animals and has that easygoing, friendly nature that is so wonderful about Great Pyrenees. He is still learning that not every human or dog appreciates being greeted with the same level of excitement he brings to the party, but he is a very good student and is learning how to channel all that enthusiasm into appropriate manners.His foster mom, Lisa, describes Marty as a quick and eager learner, and he is already making steady progress with basic commands, leash manners, and crate training. He is also doing very well with his housebreaking and, with another few weeks of consistency and a good routine, should be very close to having it mastered.Marty is going to be an active boy, and we are looking for a family who will enjoy that side of him. He would love people who want to take him along on adventures, continue working with him as he grows, and appreciate the goofy, playful personality that comes with a young Great Pyrenees mix. He would also be very happy having another dog around to play with and learn from.As he matures, Marty will develop into a gorgeous semi-long-haired dog — fluffy enough to have that unmistakable Pyr look, but not quite as heavily coated as some Great Pyrenees. And underneath all that future fluff is a smart, loving boy who is going to make someone an absolutely wonderful lifelong companion.Marty is one of those puppies who is going to grow up before you know it. Today he is a big, goofy puppy with oversized paws and a growing body; tomorrow he will be your 70-pound best friend who believes every day should include some fun, some adventure, and plenty of time with his people.Marty is ready for his forever home now in the Tennessee area. For adopters in the Northeast, he has a spot available on the September 11th transport if he is pre-adopted.If Marty sounds like the big-hearted, active, slightly goofy puppy you've been waiting for, email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.September 8, 2026, 5:33 pm

Story
Meet Bones!  Some dogs just need someone willing to see the world a little differently. Bones is one of those dogs. At just over a year old and around 80 pounds, Bones is a gorgeous Great Pyrenees/Heeler mix with a big heart, a joyful spirit, and a smile that lights up a room. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, on heartworm prevention, and ready to find the family he's been waiting for. Bones is deaf, but don't let that fool you—he is incredibly smart and highly trainable. He already knows hand signals for 'come' and 'sit' and has shown just how capable he is of learning. He loves people, thrives on interaction, and wakes up every day excited for whatever adventure comes next. Raised by an experienced rescuer, Bones has lived around multiple dogs and has zero history of aggression toward other dogs. He loves canine companionship and enjoys playtime with dogs of various sizes. Because he is a big, enthusiastic boy who doesn't always realize his own size and strength, very tiny or fragile dogs may not be the best fit simply because his play style can be exuberant. Bones has spent much of his life outdoors but is also comfortable spending time indoors when supervised. He adapts well and enjoys being part of the family. Because Bones is deaf, he cannot hear growls, hisses, or other warning signals from animals around him. Unfortunately, there have been incidents involving cats, and he should not be placed in a home with cats or other small animals. This is not a reflection of aggression, but it does mean he needs a home where everyone can be kept safe.  The decision to rehome Bones was made with tremendous love and care. He is not a problem dog. He is a special dog who deserves a home that understands his unique needs and appreciates everything that makes him wonderful. If you have a soft spot for dogs who are a little different, a little extraordinary, and completely deserving of a chance, Bones may be exactly the companion you've been looking for..Please email Critter Cavalry at ccrtennessee@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.September 8, 2026, 5:33 pm

Story
  Meet Lady Anne, a stunning 4-year-old Great Pyrenees whose story is one of resilience, devotion, and unconditional love.   When it came time to give birth, Lady Anne did what any devoted mother would do—she searched for a place she believed would keep her babies safe. She chose a quiet spot beneath a shed, only for that refuge to become anything but safe. Thankfully, a compassionate neighbor recognized the danger and reached out for help. Critter Cavalry stepped in just in time, giving Lady Anne and her nine newborn puppies the second chance they so desperately needed.   Placed with an experienced foster family, Lady Anne slowly learned that she and her puppies were finally safe. At first, she was understandably protective, but with patience and kindness she allowed her foster family to help her. Beneath her thick coat were painful mats, ticks, and fleas, and she needed a gentle grooming and a trimmed belly so her puppies could nurse comfortably. Through it all, her only concern was her babies.   For seven weeks, Lady Anne rarely left their side. As the puppies grew, she would ask to step out of their pen, only to lie beside the fence, faithfully watching over them. Day and night, she stood guard, making sure every puppy was safe. Even after they were weaned, she continued her watch. It wasn't until each puppy had gone to a loving home and the pen stood empty that Lady Anne finally walked into the air-conditioned house, curled up, and truly rested.   Her watch was finally over.   But Great Pyrenees are born with a purpose, and Lady Anne simply found a new one. She now happily patrols the fence lines, checking on the livestock with quiet confidence before making her rounds to visit the very dogs she once chased away from her puppies. Today, they're all friends.   Lady Anne can be a little reserved when meeting new people, taking her time to decide who she can trust. Once she knows your intentions are kind, however, she gives you her whole heart. She'll greet you with joyful full-body wiggles, lean into your affection, and 'talk' to you in her soft, gentle Pyrenees whines that seem to say just how happy she is to be by your side. She is cat-friendly, easygoing, gentle, and deeply loyal—the kind of dog who doesn't just become a pet but a steadfast companion. Lady Anne has already proven what an incredible guardian she is. Now she's looking for a family of her own to love and protect.   If you give this remarkable girl a chance, she'll spend the rest of her life reminding you that some of the greatest hearts belong to those who have overcome the hardest beginnings.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue is you are interested in having this beauty as a part of your life.  ccrtennessee@gmail.com   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
