Story
Meet Rumi – Your Next Adventure Buddy and Best FriendRumi is a handsome Great Pyrenees mix puppy with a zest for life that's impossible to resist. Born on May 4th, he's full of puppy curiosity, playful energy, and a joyful spirit that makes every day a little brighter. If there's an adventure to be had, Rumi wants to be right in the middle of it—and if there's someone to love afterward, he's all in for that too.Rumi was born as one of ten puppies to a stray purebred Great Pyrenees mom who gave birth beneath a house, doing everything she could to keep her babies safe. Thanks to rescue, Rumi has grown into a healthy, happy puppy who's now ready to begin the next exciting chapter of his life with a family of his very own.His favorite part of the day is running around the yard, chasing a ball, playing with his foster family's children, and making the most of every minute outside. Once he's burned off all that puppy energy, Rumi transforms into the sweetest cuddle bug. He'll happily stretch out beside you on the couch for a well-earned nap, proving that even the most adventurous pups know the value of quiet moments with the people they love.Rumi has been raised around large dogs, cats, and young children between the ages of 1 and 6. He greets everyone with a happy heart and seems convinced that every person and every animal is a potential friend. His outgoing personality, combined with his loving nature, makes him a wonderful candidate for a family looking for a puppy to grow up alongside them.He's doing very well with both crate training and house training and is eager to learn. Like all puppies, he'll continue to thrive with patient, positive, and consistent training. We expect Rumi to mature into a large, beautiful dog, weighing approximately 75 to 80 pounds, so he's looking for a family ready to embrace all the love—and all the size—that comes with a Great Pyrenees mix.Because Rumi is naturally curious and enjoys exploring, he'll need a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely play and satisfy his adventurous spirit. More than anything, he's looking for an active family that will include him in everyday life, continue his training, and give him the love, guidance, and companionship every puppy deserves.If you think Rumi could be the perfect addition to your family, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Be sure to include your city and state, as we transport our dogs from Tennessee to approved adopters in 12 surrounding states.Rumi has the heart of an explorer, the soul of a best friend, and a lifetime of love waiting for the family lucky enough to call him their own.

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.August 11, 2026, 8:56 am

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.
